Plumbing valve products belong to the control components in pipelines. Due to different application scenarios and different pipeline models, valve product styles and types vary. Therefore, the number of SKUs (the number of single items) of plumbing valve products is generally not less than about 500.
1. Different application scenarios determine that there are many product styles.
Valve products are mainly used in tap water, central air conditioning, heating and ventilation, gas, petroleum and other industries. The product models and requirements of each industry are different, which determines the difference and diversification of valve types. At the same time, many non-standardized products have also emerged. The wide range of applications requires a large number of SKUs for valve products. Product diversification is also an advantage for many brands.
2. The country has a vast territory and its products are not universal.
China has a vast territory, with different product choices and requirements in different regions, which also produces a variety of valve products. The inversatility of products has led to more and more models of valve products. Otherwise, it cannot adapt to market development.
3. The large number of SKUs is a reflection of strength and a brand moat.
The number of single products is also a symbol of the strength of a company. Without strength, it is impossible to develop multiple products to adapt to the market and customers.The number of products requires new product development and abrasive tools development, requires a large amount of capital and manpower, and the inventory must also be sufficient, requiring high capital requirements. It is also the moat of the brand.
4. To build a successful valve brand, you must also have a complete number of SKUs.
To build a brand, if there is no complete product line and building a market, it will be very difficult. One cannot meet market demand, and the other cannot develop the market in a healthy manner and will be subject to pressure from market competition. Therefore, a complete product line is a necessary condition for building a brand.
5. The number of SKUs is the source of dealer confidence.
The choice of products by the market and customers is very important for the choice of product lines. If the number of product lines is large, the impact on dealer confidence is also a very important factor. First, dealers can go all out to develop the market, and second, they have strong support for the market and dealers. Therefore, the product line is an important source of confidence for dealers and the market.
