According to statistics, 2017 1-3 months, China’s export volume expansion valve, valve valve increased, expansion valve exports amounted to 3 million 190 thousand (set / kg), compared with the same period last year increased by 45%, China’s valve industry is expanding rapidly.
- With the continuous growth of the global population and the growing demand for energy, it has led to the development of petrochemical, metallurgical, electric power industries, and thus spawned a large number of valve products. As a developing country, China’s rapid economic growth has greatly promoted the development of downstream industries such as petroleum, natural gas, power and chemical industries, and has gradually become a new engine for the development of the valve industry.
- At the same time, China’s valve imports and the amount of imports dropped significantly in January 2017, China’s valve import price is $6.17, the price fell to 16.9% in 2016; China’s valve imports fell 5%.
- At present, the valve industry in China is in a very favorable period of development. Then, how should the enterprise seize the opportunity and strengthen the international competitiveness?
First of all, in the low-end industrial valves and civilian valves field, the technical level of domestic products have been able to fully meet market demand. Demand for this market valve products larger demand, but because of low technical content, the threshold is not high, leading to a large number of low level of professionalism, small size, family workshops manufacturers. These enterprises in the fierce market competition, “big price war”, which makes the market revenue growth faster, but earnings growth is not embarrassing situation. Therefore, in the field of low-end valves, enterprises should pay attention to product quality, pay attention to brand building, strategic and long-term analysis of the market, so as to be more competitive in the international market:
- Secondly, in the end of the valve market in the industry, the product demand is still large, at the same time, the technical content is high, so it can enter the international arena are large enterprises in the production technology and production technology is relatively mature, and establish a stable and cooperative relations with many international customers. Enterprises should pay attention to quality at the same time, improve technological innovation capability, strengthen cooperation, absorb and learn from foreign advanced technology and management experience, thereby expanding the advantages of a firm foothold in the international market.
- Finally, in the high-end valve market, due to the technical requirements are very high, and the use of harsh environment, are the special material valve, therefore, the market is monopolistic competition situation, dominated by the international well-known enterprises in the United States, Europe, Japan and other places, China’s enterprises in which the share is very low. But as China’s science and technology promotion, technology level and valve material technology is constantly improving, some domestic enterprises are investing a lot of money, focus on the development of high-end valve products, and gradually penetrate into the international market.
Overall, China’s valve industry is steadily increasing, corresponding to the North American and European market as the traditional valve products, although still occupy a larger market share of the global valve market, but in terms of growth will tend to slow down. According to the analysis report, the next 3 years, China’s valve leading export growth rate of about 25% average. Enterprises should seize this historical opportunity to achieve leapfrog development, boosting China’s valve manufacturing industry, from manufacturing to manufacturing power!
