China valve industry

After years of development

The number of valve enterprises in China ranks first in the world, and there are about 6,000 valve enterprises of various sizes. Valve industry development is very rapid. Especially in Wenzhou Yongjia Oubei town and Wenzhou Longwan Yongqiang two valve enterprises accounted for half of the total number of the country, the scale is very concentrated and huge. After more than 30 years of development, in Wenzhou's unique cluster mode, the valve industry chain distribution is mature. In addition to some cast iron valves, including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other types of special steel valves, more than 80% of the country's products come from these two places, which is China's largest valve production base and the largest valve export base. The fly in the ointment is that the small and medium-sized valve enterprises in Wenzhou are living in a poor environment, the government almost did not make substantial assistance to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, nor did it publicize the entire industry, although it proposed to integrate the entire valve industry, but it is still in the situation of only grasping the big regardless of the small. Domestic end customers have always had an inertial bias against Wenzhou valve products, although they may be using products from Wenzhou, but the origin on the nameplate is not. In terms of quality, most of the products of Wenzhou valve enterprises are getting better and better, but they can only make OEM production for other well-known enterprises. Financing difficulties, high land costs, profits in the fierce competition is maximized compression, big for small and medium-sized valve enterprises in Wenzhou, difficulties, brand road is mostly a dream.

China valve industry data

From January to November 2007, China's valve and cock manufacturing industry achieved a cumulative industrial output value of 84,288,398 thousand yuan, an increase of 31.47% over the same period last year; The cumulative product sales revenue was 80,571,055,000 yuan, an increase of 29.36% over the same period last year; The total cumulative profit reached 5,772,097 thousand yuan, an increase of 44.16% over the same period last year. From January to August 2008, China's valve and cock manufacturing industry achieved a cumulative industrial output value of 73,321,603,000 yuan, an increase of 27.02% over the same period last year; The cumulative product sales revenue was 70,451,147,000 yuan, an increase of 27.27% over the same period last year; The total cumulative profit was 4,470,009,000 yuan, an increase of 15.37% over the same period last year. "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and the next few years, China's petrochemical, natural gas, metallurgical industry, electric power, urban construction and other industries have a large demand for valves, is expected in the "eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, China's total demand for valves will reach 34.5 billion yuan, therefore, the valve industry has a huge market space for development.

Valve market problems

The main problems in the valve market are:

First, some operators in order to pursue interests to buy inferior valves, printing famous brands and certificates of well-known manufacturers, causing serious harm to the reputation of qualified valve enterprises.

Second, refurbished valves, very few operators through the second sale of used valves after repainting, to bring serious safety risks to the quality of the project. When buying valves, do not be cheap, that is, to high quality and low price valve products, understandable but unrealistic. Valve price due to various reasons, before and after the fluctuation of various periods of volt is very large, the purchase of goods than 10 to the home is too much, it is best to visit the manufacturer and supervise the test. After The State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the revitalization of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry", it has driven the comprehensive revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry. To this end, the National Development and Reform Commission together with the China Machinery Industry Federation and the China Association and other relevant state departments have long proposed to strive for the "tenth Five-Year Plan" and "eleventh Five-Year Plan" period to gradually realize the localization of major equipment valves, which proposed to realize the key valves of million-kilowatt nuclear power plants and the localization of valves of million-ton large ethylene equipment, etc., through the introduction of key technologies and independent development. And in the regulations and policies to give a lot of concessions, so the relevant valve companies seize the opportunity to take the initiative to do a good job of valve localization. The upper and lower reaches a consensus, and the localization of valves has made gratifying progress. The valve industry should be based on the optimization of industrial structure, energy conservation and environmental protection, independent innovation, reform and opening up, people-oriented and other aspects to accelerate the establishment of a new system of technological development of independent development and innovation capabilities. Valve industry products to the "eleventh Five-Year" end of the localization, in the large ethylene valves to cover 95-100%, coal chemical valves are mainly high temperature hydrogenation key to solve the material seal pair, there are some control drive devices to reach more than 90%; In terms of ultra-supercritical thermal power plant technology and so on, the proportion of valve localization should reach 80%-100%. To achieve the localization of key valves and key technologies, the task is difficult, as long as our valve counterparts work together, around the same goal, the localization of valves will be achieved. Valve industry in the development of the national economy, as an important part of the preparation of the manufacturing industry, plays a very important role in the important areas related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as millions of kilowatts of nuclear power, large-scale clean and efficient power generation, supercritical thermal power, gas steam cycle, large hydropower and pumped storage, large air-cooled power stations and other units and large circulating fluidized bed boilers; One million tons of large ethylene complete equipment, p-xylene, phthalic acid, polyester complete equipment; Large coal chemical equipment; Large coal mining, lifting and washing equipment; Large ships, large chemical ships, aircraft carriers, CNG; Atmospheric control, urban industrial wastewater treatment, urban pipe network transformation and other aspects of the need for a large number of domestic valves as supporting, to meet the requirements of the national economic industry for valve manufacturing, to achieve the scientific development of the entire industry, take the lead in development, good and fast development, seize domestic and foreign market opportunities, forge ahead, and strive to build China into the world's main production base of valves.
