The custom metal products industry is in a critical period of cultural and creative transformation. 

Metal cultural and creative products such as metal keychains, medals and commemorative coins have become a growth hotspot in the market. 

According to industry evaluations, the scale of China's cultural and creative products market is expected to exceed 1.5 trillion yuan in 2026. 

Among them, metal cultural and creative products, with their texture and durability, have significantly increased their market share in the high-end tourism souvenirs and corporate gift segments, with an overall scale reaching 30 billion yuan. 

Industry trends show that cultural IP empowerment is the core competitiveness. 

Traditional cultural symbols such as Forbidden City mythical beasts and Dunhuang flying apsaras, as well as popular film and television works and museum collection elements, are creatively transformed through modern metal craftsmanship into customized products with aesthetic and collection value. 

Meanwhile, Gen Z has become the main consumer group, paying more attention to personalized expression and social attributes of products, promoting the upgrading of custom metal cultural and creative products to "cultural consumer goods" and forcing enterprises in the industry to increase investment in design innovation and IP cooperation.
