As the most basic product of Environmental Protection Industry, valve has many kinds and choices, and develops quickly with the equipment manufacturing industry. Under the premise of technological upgrading, domestic valves are gradually favored by the market, and the trend of valve industrialization is becoming more and more significant. At the same time, the valve industry in the context of increasing competition, high-end evolution direction is more prominent.
At present, China’s valve market, has been able to provide a variety of products: such as heating valves, environmental protection valves, valves for construction and so on. Although in recent years through the efforts of domestic enterprises, some high-end pump valve products have been made in China, but there are still some products in the import state.
At present, whether it is in the domestic market policy support, or the current level of Technology, R & D is not conducive to the valve. Generally speaking, as the national policy of accelerating the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry is gradually advanced, the development of general-purpose basic manufacturing industry will be further supported. Large users of valves in petrochemical industry, electric power sector, metallurgical sector, chemical industry and urban construction will increase the demand for valve products, but the feasibility of valve import substitution in China’s various sub-industries is very different Valve urgently needs more policy guidance and scientific research support.
1. Domestic Valves Are Starting To Gain Traction
According to reports, currently, 50% of the world’s valve parts from China, in fact, due to oem and other reasons, more valve products are purchased in China. Global Procurement of oil equipment is driving China’s valve equipment to accelerate the overseas market.
Most of the valves used in the nuclear power plants now in operation in China are made in China. Long-distance pipeline high-pressure large-diameter valves all available, a few domestic enterprises with full-line supply capacity. Many valves in petroleum refining can also be made in China.
At present, low-end valve production is moving to China and other developing countries, foreign users are increasingly considering Chinese manufacturing. At the same time, the supply chain management of domestic users is becoming more and more international. For the long-term development of enterprises themselves, internationalization is the only way. This includes the enterprise organization structure and international standards, marketing channels to international standards, product design and quality management and international standards, enhanced international after-sales service and overseas crisis handling capacity.
China’s valve industry is facing a more severe situation: rapid market changes, low product prices, labor costs, raw material prices, lack of talent, small and medium-sized enterprises funding difficulties, such as increasing the export threshold.
Chinese manufacturers also have their own shortcomings, such as less professional filing, less attention to brand management, poor production planning. This shows that China’s valve manufacturing and other supporting enterprises still have a lot of room for improvement.
Li Na, deputy general manager of neway Valve, believes that with the acceleration of China’s integration with the world economy, the improvement of the domestic market economic system, and the strategic centralized purchasing policy of first-class customers, china’s industrial valve manufacturing industry will accelerate industry integration and reshuffle, China’s industrial valve manufacturers group management level, product quality, after-sales service, the degree of internationalization are facing a new round of challenges.
In the future, the valve industry needs to increase technical input, develop high-end products, improve supporting capacity. Efforts have been made in such fields as 56′high pressure ball valve for long-distance pipeline, high temperature coke cleaning valve for large-scale cracking furnaces, ultra-low temperature safety valve for LNG and high-pressure valve for deep-sea oil and gas production. At the same time, we should adopt advanced international standards to upgrade our products. Promote the concentration of the valve industry to continue to improve, the formation of large-scale valve enterprise groups, to promote China from the valve manufacturing power to the valve power.
2. Vitalizing Equipment manufacturing And Promoting Valve Industrialization
The development of general basic manufacturing industry will be further supported as the national policy of accelerating the revitalization of equipment manufacturing industry is gradually advanced. China is facing the arrival of the industrialization era, petrochemical industry, power sector, metallurgical sector, chemical industry and urban construction, such as the use of valves will increase the demand for valve products. At present, there are many domestic valve enterprises, and the development of valve industry is relatively mature, especially ball valve, Butterfly Valve, safety valve, check valve, throttle valve, plug valve, pressure reducing valve and other products have been well developed.
As far as the development of China’s entire machinery industry is concerned, the valve industry has made rapid progress, but looking at the whole domestic valve industry, most of the valves are mid-and low-end products with low technical content The high-end valves in the domestic market are mainly imported, which leads to the phenomenon that the high-end valve market in China is monopolized by foreign valve enterprises. At present, the state has issued a policy to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry, with special emphasis on supporting the development of general basic manufacturing industry. China is facing the transition from the agricultural era to the industrial era, will substantially increase the demand for high-end valves. This has also brought new challenges and opportunities to the domestic valve market.
At present, whether in the domestic market policy support, or the current level of Technology, HIGH-END VALVE R & D is not good enough. Generally speaking, as the national policy of accelerating the revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry is gradually advanced, the development of general-purpose basic manufacturing industry will be further supported. Large users of valves in petrochemical industry, Electric Power Sector, metallurgical sector, chemical industry and urban construction will increase the demand for valve products, but the feasibility of valve import substitution in China’s various sub-industries is very different High-end valves need more policy guidance and scientific research support.
3. In Response, Three Suggestions Were Made:
First, establish a new mechanism to encourage independent innovation. According to the national comprehensive planning and regional layout planning of pump valve manufacturing industry, a number of regional leading technology and product development laboratories, test bases and product development centers will be built. Rely on the Science and education institution with strong innovation ability, set up the station of science and technology achievement diffusion. Encourage and support the establishment of PUMP VALVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY R & D Center.
Secondly, improve the technology promotion system. We should reasonably set up grass-roots manufacturing technology promotion organizations, and gradually establish a diversified manufacturing technology promotion system with the national manufacturing technology promotion organization as the leading role, division of Labor, cooperation and good service.
In addition, we should improve the science and technology training system and improve the protection system of intellectual property rights. We will establish and improve the connection between the training and service functions of colleges, scientific research institutions and secondary vocational schools and the basic education, and give full play to the strength of institutions at all levels. We will further improve the market environment for new product innovation and actively promote new product development. Enterprises and research institutions will establish and improve their own rules and regulations for new product management.
4. Valve Manufacturing Needs To Seek High-end Development
During the “Fifteen” period, China’s valve manufacturing industry is actively seeking high-end development, to break most of the important sectors of the valve monopoly by foreign markets, to participate in the international high-end Valve Market Competition. If we still rely on import of important basic components, it will not only swallow a large number of our valve market profits, but also is not conducive to the independent innovation of the Valve Industry Therefore, the production level and product performance of home-made Valves and other basic components must keep up with the market demand, improve the brand and technology, better promote the domestic valve manufacturing industry into the high-end market.
At present, the domestic valve manufacturers have been able to ISO international standards, Din German standards, Awwa American standards and other international standards to design and manufacture a variety of valves, some manufacturers of products have reached the international advanced level. Although the overall level of China’s valve industry has been greatly improved, but the quality is not stable enough, such as running, bubbling, dripping, leakage phenomenon in domestic valves often occur. In addition, China’s valve matching capacity and developed countries compared there are still some gaps.
Due to the rapid expansion of the market, the original state-owned valve enterprises have been closed and transferred, “12th five-year plan” period of China’s high-end equipment parts and components localization will further increase. In China’s current valve market, in addition to low-pressure valves have reached the international market to accept the level, high-pressure valves still have to rely on imports. Therefore, to improve the level and grade of domestic valve products is the first major problem in the development of valve industry.
As the pace of restructuring in the valve industry continues to accelerate, the future competition among valve industry enterprises will be between the quality and safety of valve products and product brands Products to high-tech, high parameters, corrosion resistance, high life direction.
