Analytical instrument industry will surely become a domestic high-end development

At present, China's valve industry still has some problems, such as China's valve companies mainly in low-level, small-scale, family workshop-based enterprises. In terms of products, due to repeated investment and insufficient technology introduction, the leading products of China's valve companies are still low-quality mass products.

Valves produced by enterprises have the disadvantages of external leakage, internal leakage, low appearance quality, short service life, inflexible operation, and unreliable valve electric devices and pneumatic devices. Some products are only equivalent to those in the early 80s of the last century. At the level, some high temperature and high pressures and the valves needed on key devices still rely on imports.

From the product point of view, China's valve industry has now been able to produce more than 10 categories of products, such as gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, safety valves, check valves, throttle valves, plug valves, pressure reducing valves, diaphragm valves, Traps, emergency shut-off valves, etc., the maximum operating temperature of 570 °C, the lowest is -196 °C, the maximum pressure of 600MPa, the maximum diameter of 5350 mm. In addition, according to relevant department statistics, China's annual valve market turnover as high as 50 billion yuan, of which more than 100 billion yuan of the market was occupied by foreign valve companies. Valves are indispensable fluid control devices for various departments of the national economy such as petroleum, chemical industry, power stations, long-distance pipelines, shipbuilding, nuclear industries, various cryogenics, aerospace, and marine oil production. After years of development, the number of China's valve companies ranks first in the world. There are about 6,000 valve companies of all sizes, of which 900 have an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan.

In China's current valve market, high-pressure valves still need to rely on imports, except for low-pressure valves that have reached the international market's acceptable level. Under the continuous optimistic view of the macro-economy, most of the valve industry's production and sales indicators have maintained rapid growth. However, affected by the price war, the industry's sales revenue and profits have dropped significantly from the same period of last year. 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.

China's valve industry in the industrial structure, the valve industry's industrial chain, and the industry's degree of specialization and foreign companies have a large gap between the quality of domestic valve products caused by the low: due to the rapid expansion of the market, the original state-owned valve companies have Closed and transferred, although a group of township enterprises developed rapidly, but because of the low starting point of the township enterprises, the technical strength is very weak, the equipment is simple, and most of the products are imitating production, especially the low-pressure valve for water supply and drainage problems are serious but the above problems and Does not affect the broad prospects of China's valve industry in the future. This is mainly due to the support of national policies and the strong demand for valve products market, especially the start of several projects such as “West-to-East Gas Transmission”, “West-to-East Electricity Transmission” and “South-to-North Water Diversion Project” that require a large number of valve products. .

In addition, China is facing the arrival of the era of industrialization. The petrochemical industry, the power industry, the metallurgical industry, the chemical industry, and the construction of cities and other large-scale valve users will increase the demand for valve products. For example, in the electric power industry, during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the total valve demand forecast for large- and medium-sized projects started in the coal-fired power plant group is: total valve demand is 153,000 tons, annual average demand is 30,600 tons, and total valve demand is 3.96 billion yuan. The average annual demand is 792 million yuan. In addition, China is gradually becoming the largest processing plant in the world, and the processing and manufacturing of valve products face greater development space. Therefore, as long as companies can seize opportunities, strengthen research and development capabilities, and continuously improve product technology content and product quality, Take the initiative in the fierce market competition.
