The quality of imported valve manufacturing equipment is not enough to sell overseas

In recent years, the rapid development of China's valve industry has been affected by factors such as raw materials and labor costs. The export and market share of products have been continuously expanding, and have gradually become an important production base and main product sales market in the industry. China's control valve factories have numerous companies, small scale, lack of core competitiveness, and low concentration of companies, which make it difficult to exert influence on the international market, and to a large extent restrict the healthy development of the valve industry.

Although a group of township and village enterprises developed rapidly, due to the low starting point of the township and township enterprises, the technical strength is very weak, the equipment is simple, and most of the products are imitating production, especially the low-pressure valves for water supply and drainage are serious, but the above problems do not affect the future of China's valves. The broad prospects of the industry.

This is mainly due to the support of the national policy and the strong demand for the valve product market, especially the start-up of several projects of the West-East Gas Pipeline, West-to-East Electricity Transmission, and South-to-North Water Transfer Project that require a large number of valve products. Low profit last year China's valve industry import and export totaled 24.1 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 28.2%. The total export value was 22.4 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 29.3%; the total import volume was 20.134 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 27%. With the recovery of the world economy, China's valve products have also experienced an increase in imports and exports. However, due to the large gap between high-end technology and foreign manufacturers, the product technology will become a constraint on the development of China's valve products in the future. bottleneck.

Until recently, Chinese valve makers were limited to a few profitable target markets such as Ethiopia, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, and some Southeast Asian markets. These markets are small in scale, the decision-making process is entirely dependent on prices, and profit margins are limited.

China's import valve manufacturers must pay attention to such an undeniable fact: If they want to survive in the future, they must improve their previous sluggish performance and obtain large profits for export. The main reason for the current lack of export revenue is the large number of business opportunities in China's domestic market, and the quality of equipment manufactured by China's imported valves is not enough to sell overseas.
