In the first five months of this year, the production and sales of China's general machinery industry continued to maintain a rapid growth of more than 30%. Industry experts expect that, driven by the market, China's general machinery industry will remain in a period of steady and rapid growth since the second half of the year and henceforth.
Production and sales maintain high growth
According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics on 5257 enterprises above the scale of the machine industry, in the first five months of this year, the industry’s total industrial output value has been completed at 150.681 billion yuan, an increase of 34.51% year-on-year, an increase of 0.68 percentage points from the same period of last year; industrial sales have been completed. The output value was 144.482 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.83%, an increase of 1.81 percentage points over the same period of last year; the total profit was 9.068 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.68%, an increase of 3.45 percentage points over the same period of last year; and the main business income was 142.343 billion yuan, up year-on-year. The growth rate was 33.35%, an increase of 1.74 percentage points over the same period of last year.
From the perspective of the completion of production of main products, from January to May, the number of production pumps was 21.7173 million units, an increase of 17.76% year-on-year; the production of fans was 1,723,700 units, an increase of 34.46% year-on-year; the production of compressors was 12,217,200 units, an increase of 40.23% year-on-year; the production valves were 93.31. Ten thousand tons, an increase of 27.05%; production and reduction of 1.213 million units of variable-speed machines, an increase of 18.53%; production of 10,519 separate machines, a year-on-year decrease of 11.22%.
According to industry analysts, general machinery industries can maintain a steady and rapid development trend, which is mainly related to the continuous improvement of the production capacity and technical equipment level of industrial enterprises.
The overall competitiveness of the industry continues to increase
Judging from statistics, China's general machinery industry has maintained a growth rate of more than 30% in terms of total industrial output value, sales revenue, or profits. From the perspective of the completion of production of major products, except for the obvious decline in the output of the separation machinery products, other products still maintained a relatively rapid growth. This shows that the overall competitiveness of China's general machinery manufacturing industry is constantly increasing.
In recent years, the state has successively introduced a series of policies and regulations that are conducive to accelerating the development of the equipment manufacturing industry. In particular, the State Council has promulgated Several Opinions on Accelerating the Rejuvenation of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry, which has played a positive role in promoting the level of domestic equipment manufacturing industry. The role of promotion. It is against this backdrop that general machinery manufacturing companies continue to intensify independent innovation and the technical level of their products has been greatly improved.
Shaanxi Drum Group succeeded in winning the bid for the 600,000 tons PTA project in Chongqing Pengwei in September 2007, rewriting the history of long-term reliance on imported compressors for this project. On March 16th this year, the Group held a grand annual production contract. The three million-ton ethylene plant was put into production to start the assembly. This is another milestone in the localization of large-scale ethylene plant compressor units in China. So far, Shengu has signed two million-ton ethylene projects.
In the large-scale air separation area, following the localization of Hualu Hengsheng's first 40,000-class large-scale air separation plant, in a few short years, the main air separation equipment manufacturers in China were 48,000 grades, 52,000 grades, and 60,000. The large-scale air separation field of the grade has achieved very good results. In April 2008, Kaifeng Air Subsidiary Group Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Rongcheng United Steel Group Co., Ltd. signed a supply contract of 82,000 class air separation units. This is the first domestically-designed air separation unit with the largest specifications.
In the valve industry, CNS Su Valve has developed a high-strength, erosion-resistant hard-seal ball valve that is suitable for the 600,000-ton coal gasification, coal-to-coal, and coal-to-oil projects, and a nuclear grade lift check valve. DN200 vacuum The prototype design of the valve prototype has been completed and it will enter the prototype manufacturing stage.
In order to further promote the localization process, the state has recently introduced a series of regulations that restrict imports, such as air separation devices below 65,000 grades. If the import does not allow tax exemption, the associated air compressors and oxygen presses are imported. No tax exemption is allowed. In the fan industry, fans of 50,000 cubic meters or less of blast furnaces are not allowed to import. If the import does not allow tax exemption, the compressor with an annual output of 1 million tons of ethylene and 600,000 tons of PTA per year is not allowed to be imported. Experts pointed out that enterprises should make good use of relevant national policies, increase their own research and development efforts, and further improve the technological level of products.
Loss-making enterprises increase export growth rate
It is worth noting that as the industry grows rapidly, the number of loss-making enterprises in the industry continues to increase. In the first five months, the industry’s loss ratio reached 15.48%, the number of loss-making enterprises increased by 5.3% compared with the same period of last year, the accumulated loss amounted to 617 million yuan, and the loss amount increased by 24.4% from the same period of last year. The loss-making enterprises are mainly concentrated in Beijing, Hebei, and Hunan. The negative growth of these three regions has reached more than 30%. Industry analysts believe that, first, the Olympic Games is approaching, the construction of infrastructure in Beijing and the surrounding areas has basically ended; second, the ice disaster at the beginning of this year has also brought about a certain impact on the production and sales of enterprises.
While the domestic market is leaping forward, general machinery products are not optimistic about overseas markets. According to statistics, from January to May, the value of export delivery was 24.434 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 231.38%, an increase of 28.62 percentage points from the same period of last year. Some analysts believe that this is mainly due to the impact of many factors such as the increase in raw material prices, the reduction of export tax rebates, and the US subprime economic crisis. To this end, industry experts suggest that companies should increase the intensity of structural adjustments in export products and increase the added value of export products.
In the second half will continue to maintain a rapid growth
Industry experts believe that as the country’s investment in the petrochemical industry, environmental protection, and urban infrastructure continues to increase, the general machinery manufacturing industry will continue to maintain steady and rapid growth in the second half of the year, and for a long time to come. increase.
From the specific situation of market demand, as of the end of 2007, the installed capacity of power generation equipment in the power industry reached 713 million kilowatts. In a short period of one year, the country’s electric power installed capacity has achieved a leap from 600 million kilowatts to 700 million kilowatts. In spite of this, the lack of electricity in some areas of the country's electricity supply and demand and in certain periods still exists. Therefore, the development of the electric power industry will continue to receive attention in China, and this will continue to bring strong market demand for the power supply products that are supported by the power industry.
In the metallurgical industry, crude steel production increased by 9.1% year-on-year from the first four months of this year, and the growth rate dropped by 12.1%. At the same time, higher cost pressures forced steel companies to speed up the elimination of backward production capacity and promote the process of energy saving and emission reduction. Value, high-tech pumps, fans, valves, compressors and other products are in demand.
In the coal chemical industry, rising oil prices have expanded the space for development of the coal chemical industry. According to China's “Mid-term and long-term development plan for coal chemical industry (draft for comment)”, the national methanol demand in 2010 was 16.2 million tons and the olefins were 43 million. The annual production of methanol, olefins and refined oil during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period was 19%, 7.8%, and 5.4% respectively. This will lead to an increase in demand for related general machinery products.
In addition, many industry experts also reminded companies that after the May 12 earthquake in Wenchuan in Sichuan, the demand for general-purpose mechanical products after the post-disaster reconstruction was huge. They suggested that companies should make early investigations and analysis of product demand and make preparations.
