Analysis of China's Valve Industry Market in 2012

During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the Chinese government placed environmental protection on a more important strategic position, proposing a 20% reduction in energy consumption per unit of GDP, and a 10% reduction in the total discharge of major pollutants. The National Environmental Protection “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” puts forward specific targets and measures in various fields of the environmental protection industry, and in the “National Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Environmental Protection” and related supporting plans, the policies related to the water sector are as follows: We will increase our focus on environmental protection and water resources, and increase the recycling rate of China Water (between drinking water and sewage discharge standards), increase the treatment of industrial wastewater, and increase the discharge standard for domestic sewage treatment. All will increase the demand for valves and environmental protection equipment.

The tide of urbanization drives the constant acceleration of municipal public construction In recent years, with the continuous development of the economy, the focus of domestic water supply and drainage project construction has gradually expanded from large and medium-sized cities and coastal economically developed areas to the second and third-tier cities in the Mainland, and has expanded. To some of the townships in the Mainland. As of November 2010, China’s urban population reached 666 million, accounting for 49.68% of the population, urban population is increasing at an average annual rate of 3-4%, and it is expected that the proportion of urban population will reach 70% by 2025, which will lead to cities. The demand for space expansion and urban water supply and domestic sewage treatment is continuously expanding, which brings about a large demand for water supply and drainage valves.

Global Water Supply and Drainage Valve Manufacturing Industry Continues to Move to China In recent years, the competition in the global valve market has become increasingly fierce. As the developed countries are constrained by factors such as raw material resources and labor costs, global manufacturing bases for water supply and drainage valves are continuously Asia and other developing countries have shifted. Due to the rapid economic development, policy incentives, and low raw material and labor costs, in recent years, China and other developing countries have been developing rapidly in the drainage valve industry. Their export and market share have been continuously expanding, and they have continuously replaced Europe, the United States, Japan, etc. Countries and regions have become important production bases for the industry and sales markets for main products. In terms of industrial exports, the production capacity of various types of valve products in developed countries tends to shrink. The valve production of major developed countries and China's neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea decreases year by year, and China's valve products will face enormous opportunities for expanding exports. Restricted by factors such as labor costs, the global manufacturing base for water supply and drainage valves is constantly shifting to developing countries such as Asia. Due to the rapid economic development, policy incentives, and low raw material and labor costs, in recent years, China and other developing countries have been developing rapidly in the drainage valve industry. Their export and market share have been continuously expanding, and they have continuously replaced Europe, the United States, Japan, etc. Countries and regions have become important production bases for the industry and sales markets for main products.

The valve production of major developed countries and China's neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea decreases year by year, and China's valve products will face enormous opportunities for expanding exports.

Unfavorable factors (1) The technical level of domestic enterprises and the international disparity are greatly limited by the overall development level of the industry. At present, domestic water supply and drainage valves still have a small gap compared with imported products, mainly manifested in external leakage, internal leakage, poor design, Shortcomings such as short life, inflexible operation, and unreliability of valve electric devices and pneumatic devices, some products are only equivalent to the international level in the early 1980s, resulting in downstream applications in the water supply and drainage works, frequent opening and closing of valves and some key parts of the valve , Still using imported products abroad.

(2) Industry concentration is not high There are numerous enterprises in the water supply and drainage valve industry in China. Small-scale production companies lacking core competitiveness often obtain markets through low-price competition and other means, and domestic valve companies have low concentration and are difficult to find in the international market. Influencing, to a large extent, restricted the healthy development of the valve industry.
