Some Problems in China 's Valve Industry

Domestic hardware industry, the trend of outward development of the valve business is more obvious, many enterprises within the industry, but because of low cost and intense competition, most companies rely on lower prices to get the market, so that corporate profits are very low , Basically can only achieve the maintenance of production, but it is difficult to make money in the state, the consequences are low product prices, low added value, low profits, companies do not have enough funds to continue to develop.
In the macroeconomic continued to optimistic about the situation, the hardware valve industry, most of the production and sales indicators have maintained a rapid growth, but due to the impact of price war, industry sales revenue and profits fell sharply last year. But overall, stainless steel solenoid valve industry concentration is relatively low, mainly in the production of low-end products. In the core technology, the domestic enterprises and the developed countries in the world there is still a certain gap.
At present, China's valve industry is still there are some problems, such as China's valve enterprises mainly to low-level, small-scale, family workshop-based enterprises. In the product, due to repeated investment, the introduction of technology is not enough, China's leading enterprises of the valve products is still low-quality mass products. It is understood that the current production of various types of valves in China, there are widespread leakage, internal leakage, the appearance of quality is not high, short life, the operation is not flexible and the valve electric devices and pneumatic devices are not reliable and other shortcomings, some products only the equivalent of the last century The international level of the early 80s, some high temperature and pressure and key devices on the need for the valve is still dependent on imports.
China's valve industry in the industrial structure, industrial valve industry chain, as well as the degree of specialization of the industry and foreign enterprises there is a large gap between the domestic pneumatic flow control valve product quality is low because the rapid expansion of the market, the original state-owned enterprises have Turn off and turn. According to a large market survey of air conditioning and refrigeration, although a number of township enterprises to develop rapidly, but because the township enterprises starting low, technical strength is very weak, poor equipment, most of the products are imitated production, especially for the drainage of low-pressure valve problems The above problems do not affect the future prospects of China's valve industry. This is mainly due to the support of national policy and the strong demand of the valve product market, especially the construction of the West-East Gas Pipeline, West to East, South-North Water Transfer Project requires a large number of valve products.
Until recently, Chinese valve manufacturers were also limited to some less profitable target markets such as Ethiopia, Sudan, Iran, Iraq and some Southeast Asian markets. These markets are small, the decision-making process depends entirely on the price, profit margins are limited. China's import valve manufacturers must pay attention to the undeniable fact that if they want to survive in the future, they must improve the performance of the previous downturn, access to large export manufacturing profits. The main reason for the low export earnings is that there are a lot of business opportunities in China's domestic market, and the quality of China's imported valves is not enough to sell overseas.
