执行摘要：

2007年加价在大多的议程中中国的小厨房器具制作商。 上升的制造费用加上更加进取的R&D投资由中等大小和大公司使更高的行情不可避免在一年强烈的竞争以后那被保留的价格稳定。

中国在2006年出口了704百万种小厨房器具相当US$6.7十亿价值， 15.5%根据价值和12%年在年增量在容量。 当出口形象从2005年时12月连续上升，价值生长率减少了11个百分点，而容量由大约1点浸洗了。

减速在收支成长尽管相对地平稳的发货容量表明价格增量在过去12个月比他们二年前是较不重大的。 这是供应商的一个直接结果’努力维护价格为了停留竞争。

下列是我们在中国的小厨房器具出口业看的某些趋向：
•  最大和许多最中等大小的供应商在先进的支持RoHS-和WEEE批准的制造业的机器和设备将继续投资，并且支持他们的产品。 一些均匀设定了特别生产和QC线致力服从的设计。
•  Many small companies with limited financial capability, however, may find it difficult to follow EU regulations. At the most, they use components procured from RoHS qualified parts providers. Those without means to comply focus on export markets other than the EU or shift to other product lines.
•  Despite the WEEE and RoHS directives, the EU will continue to be the favored export destination for many China makers, mainly because buyers from the region are less price conscious, giving suppliers higher profit margins.
•  The primary R&D focus of most companies will be the incorporation of multiple functions in their new and upcoming products. Some of the most recent coffee maker releases, for instance, are designed with slice toasting and grilling capability.
