Any high-tech generation is a double-edged sword. The
existence of anything will be faced with both opportunities and challenges. The valve casting industry is no exception. According to experts’ analysis, the
valve casting industry is in period of seeking direction at present, problems
and opportunities are to explain as follows.
Firstly, the low per capita consumption laid a
weak foundation. It is understood that the valve casting industry is a sunrise
industry, but the per capita consumption of China valve casting products is not
high in the world at present, only $22 per capita, which belongs to the
starting stage.
The current international economic form is complex.Capital debt crisis is intensified. Iron and steel, metal products export in China is serious.
If China wants the valve casting industry to obtain the considerable development,
stimulating domestic demand is inevitable. But the current domestic demand is
low. There is a lot of work and responsibilities to be done to get long development.
Secondly, the technological level falls behind.
Raw material is in a stage of wasting huge. According to statistics, the total
output of castings is 35.30 million tons in 2009, ranking first in the world for
ten year running, with an average annual rate of 10.9% increase. However, due
to the limitation of casting technology level, casting steel, casting iron and other
casting raw materials waste a lot in the production process.
The casting valve enterprises in our country
is small in size, low industrial concentration unreasonable product structure,
weak capacity of independent innovation, equipment and technology backward and
other shortcomings. And they highlight the extensive development mode of high
input, high consumption, high pollution, low efficiency, low benefit. In the
increasingly stringent requirements of energy saving and emission reduction of
the environment, the backward technology is not conducive to China valve industry and save the cost, neither conducive
toChinavalve industry in the fierce competition for more living space, even to the
long-term development of the valve industry.
Thirdly, manufacturing is back up slowly. According to statistics, China manufacturing
PMI was 50.6% in November, 0.4 % points
higher than in October, and the index of the last three months rebounds
slightly, showing that the domestic economy is bottoming out, but what is most
important is that there is currently no improvement of operation in small
enterprises. The PMI index has been in 50% or below since April. It fell instead
of rising in November, Overall, the rebound of manufacturing is instable currently,
valve casting industry is a branch of manufacturing industry, the general
situation influences the relative process in the industry.
Lastly, Limited anticipation on the policy. It
must be paid attention that how the policy is made. It is reported that in development
process of the casting industry, energy-saving, emission reduction, monetary
easing policy has a significant impact on the industry, and the development of
valve casting enterprise needs to be paid more attention to the change of the casting
industry. And they can adjust themselves according to their own operations.The
valve casting industry development may present the state of cautious optimism in
2013 when in the limited anticipation on the policy.
