According to the statistics of 41 domestic welding machines and cutting machine companies last year, the total industrial output value reached 66,173,410 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.31%, and the growth rate dropped by nearly 16 percentage points. Among them, the completion of export delivery value reached 1200626 million yuan, an increase of 18.89%. Although the growth rate of the total output value index is a downward trend, the ability of electric welder companies to cope with environmental changes has been greatly improved.
The club experts also said that this year's stable change is that the industry product structure will be adjusted. From the market demand forecast, it will change with the improvement of welding technology, process development and production mechanization and automation level, especially the composition ratio of various products, such as the proportion of AC arc welding machine is significantly reduced, automatic, semi-automatic welding machine, special It is a CO2 welder, and the demand for a dedicated set of welders has increased significantly.
The electric welding machine branch believes that grasping the changes in market demand is the key to enterprise development.
Development still has short board
“Management is not in place is one of the main problems affecting the development of the industry. At present, there are widespread shortages of technicians and difficult talents in production enterprises,†said an industry source.
Based on this, some powerful enterprises have recruited talents, trained skilled workers, reserved technical strength and invested a large amount of money to develop new products and technical reserves, and most of them are mainly labor-intensive.
In recent years, some of the better companies have approached the level of some internationally renowned companies in terms of hardware facilities and business philosophy, but there is still a big gap in management level. At present, enterprises are generally small in scale and have low industry concentration.
According to statistics, the annual output value of China's welding equipment enterprises has exceeded 1 billion yuan, 1 to 500 million yuan, 8 to 300 million yuan, and more than 100 million yuan accounted for more than half of the statistical enterprises. However, compared with developed countries, the number of enterprises in China's welding equipment industry is still very impressive, which reflects that most of China's welding equipment enterprises are small and weak.
From the development trend of the industry, if there is no certain scale in the production of general products for welding equipment, the competitiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced in the case of rising raw material prices and human resource costs. In the competition, continuous integration and merger through the survival of the fittest will be one of the themes of our industry in the coming years. This theme will become even more apparent during the low tide of economic development.
To this end, the club believes that companies must overcome the impetuous feelings of quick success, one-sided pursuit of scale and market share. Enterprises must be strong first, have a deep understanding of the user's needs for welding, familiar with and proficient in the welding process, and pay attention to the accumulation of experience in the use of welding processes and solutions.
From the perspective of product technology itself, it needs to be further improved. The import volume of electric welding machine products will continue to increase, and its total import value still accounts for about 50% of the total domestic market; the export volume of domestic electric welding machines has not exceeded 6% of the total production value over the years.
At present, the output of domestic electric welding machine products exceeds demand, and competition is fierce. Most enterprises are struggling to produce and operate. In terms of product composition, the general-purpose welding machine is oversupply: high reliability, multi-functional automatic, semi-automatic welding machine and special welding machine, special welding machine market demand is growing rapidly, some welding machines still need to be imported; domestically produced in the market structure Compared with the imported welding machine, it is basically evenly divided. Although the domestic welding machine is dominant in terms of the number of units, the imported products account for about half of the sales.
Despite the improvement of product performance due to the improvement of product performance and the localization of imported products, as well as the expansion of the production scale of joint ventures and foreign-funded enterprises, the export volume has increased, and the export products are gradually dominated by AC arc welding machines and rotary DC welding machines. Turning to automatic, semi-automatic welders and complete welders, but the gap is still large compared to imported products of the same type.
The club made recommendations
In order to promote the further development of the industry, the club proposed relevant suggestions for the current problems affecting the development of the industry.
First, according to the characteristics of the company, we strive to make small, specialized, small, special, small and strong enterprises.
In view of the fierce market competition in the electric welding machine industry in the future, this will force the electric welding machine industry to further accelerate the pace of technological progress, improve the technical composition of products, accelerate the development of new products, and actively adjust the product structure. In recent years, companies with certain strength have actively invested in the research and development of new products, or developed special, special and complete sets of welding equipment urgently needed by users for a specific industry, and achieved obvious economic benefits. Enterprises should absorb foreign advanced processing technology and equipment according to their own characteristics, and develop in a small, specialized, small and special, small and strong direction.
Second, increase technological innovation and development of new products to enhance market competitiveness.
In order to be strong, enterprises must have their own core technologies in addition to selecting the development direction. Products with independent intellectual property rights are an effective way to improve their core competitiveness. In order to make the enterprise truly powerful, in addition to mastering the core technologies such as advanced design and manufacturing technology through independent innovation, we should also focus on improving the competitiveness of the productive services in the pre-production stage of research and development, market research and other products.
Third, improve the management level of enterprises and cope with the arrival of the era of small profits.
As a welding equipment mainly located in the field of production materials, its market capacity will end the stage of rapid development and enter a relatively stable development cycle. In this case, the raw material costs and labor costs of the company will continue to rise. Due to overcapacity in China's welding equipment industry, competition will further intensify, and the era of small profits in the welding equipment industry will come soon. Without improving the management level of enterprises, the viability of enterprises will be greatly affected.
Fourth, enterprises need to pay attention to the gradual accumulation of industry heritage.
In the past ten years, thanks to the rapid growth of China's economy, some enterprises have developed rapidly and quickly become large-scale enterprises. But we should be soberly aware that companies must not only be bigger but also stronger.
