2007年加價在大多的議程中中國的小廚房器具製作商。 上升的製造費用加上更加進取的R&D投資由中等大小和大公司使更高的行情不可避免在一年強烈的競爭以後那被保留的價格穩定。

中國在2006年出口了704百萬種小廚房器具相當US$6.7十億價值， 15.5%根據價值和12%年在年增量在容量。 當出口形象從2005年時12月連續上升，價值生長率減少了11個百分點，而容量由大約1點浸洗了。

下列是我們在中國的小廚房器具出口業看的某些趨向：

•  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.
