Experts in the industry pointed out that during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, due to the rapid development of the national economy, the output of small and medium-sized motor products has a larger growth plan than the target proposed in the original Tenth Five-Year Plan.
Relevant statistics show that the output of general products has increased the most, and other derivative special series motor products have also increased significantly, such as variable frequency motor, elevator motor, submersible motor, injection molding machine motor, permanent magnet synchronous motor, AC servo motor and so on.
New product development has also achieved good results.
The Y3 series three-phase asynchronous motors developed during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period have passed the expert appraisal in April 2002 and are being popularized throughout the country. In addition, the development of upgrading products with cold-rolled silicon steel sheets in major derivative series is also in progress, such as high-efficiency motor series, low-noise and low-vibration motor series, low-voltage high-power motor series and IP23 low-voltage motor series.
Happiness is not limited to these.
Accelerate industry integration
The curtain of the integration of small and medium-sized motor industry has been opened.
At present, there are nearly 2000 large and small motor factories in China. Although there are many enterprises, a considerable number of them are small enterprises. Experts pointed out that due to the large number of manufacturers and large output, a competitive situation has been formed to seize the market and depress prices. Uneven product quality, competitive price reduction and meager industry profits have become the main reasons affecting the survival and development of motor enterprises.
Motor itself is a labor-intensive product, unless it reaches a certain output scale, it is difficult to generate benefits, so the industry profit is very meager. There are about 300,000 employees in the automobile industry in China, and the profit of the industry in 2003 was only 280 million yuan. It is understood that even some enterprises with better benefits had a net profit of less than 5% last year.
At the same time, due to the poor production technology of most small enterprises, there are still a large number of unqualified products in the motor industry. According to the survey, the average loss of waste products, defective products and repaired products in China's motor enterprises is about 10%, while the unqualified level of motor enterprises in developed countries abroad is generally 0.3%.
In recent years, a number of enterprises with large output scale, good product level and quality and advanced technology and equipment have emerged in China's motor industry. However, no product share can dominate the domestic market. Small and medium-sized motors have not yet formed an internationally influential brand.
The motor industry is in urgent need of re-integration and survival of the fittest, which has become the development trend of the motor industry.
Experts pointed out that although the motor industry is an old traditional industry, supporting motors in all walks of life are indispensable. Moreover, some larger motor enterprises occupy a large area and have good locations. After the merger, it will bring very rich income and financial resources to the acquirer.
The automobile industry has set off a wave of mergers and acquisitions. Boshan Pump Factory acquired Boshan Motor Factory, Midea Group held Qingjiang Motor Factory, Zhejiang Wolong Company held Hubei Motor Factory, and Zhejiang Jinlong Company merged Hunan Changde Motor Factory. ...
Injected a batch of fresh blood into the ancient automobile industry.
The insiders believe that most of these acquired enterprises are state-owned enterprises, and their products have certain equipment foundation and technical strength. After the merger, liquidity was injected, and the management system was changed from state-owned enterprises to private enterprises. In this way, the output scale has been expanded, the mechanism has been flexible, and the benefits of enterprises have also been improved.
In addition, many overseas enterprises have also invested and established wholly-owned and joint ventures in China. American Jordan Group acquired Guangdong Shunde Motor Factory, Japanese Toshiba Company built Dalian Toshiba Motor Factory, Hong Kong Defeng Company controlled Shanghai Daily Motor Factory, Taiwan Province Dongyuan Company built new motor factories in Kunshan and Wuxi respectively, and will hold Jiangxi Sitong Motor Factory, and Taiwan Province Datong Company built a new motor factory in Songjiang, Shanghai.
Obviously, these overseas companies are acquiring and building new projects.
At the same time, the factory also brought capital, advanced technology and management experience; At the same time, because most of the products of the enterprise are exported, the export volume of China motor has increased greatly.
Undoubtedly, the merger and reorganization of domestic enterprises and the entry of foreign-funded enterprises have promoted the further optimization of the structure of the motor industry and promoted the development and technological progress of the industry.
Joint development of new products will get twice the result with half the effort.
For a long time, China's small and medium-sized motor products have problems of unreasonable product structure and low technical content.
At present, the output of small and medium-sized motor basic series products accounts for a large proportion in China, and there are fewer varieties of derivative special series products, and fewer high-tech and high-value-added products. Export products are also basic series products, accounting for a considerable proportion, and derivative special series products are rarely exported.
Although China's motor exports and imports are basically the same, the number of products exported and imported is quite different. Every year, the country spends a lot of foreign exchange to import many derivative and special series motor products that are urgently needed in China.
With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the automobile product structure is constantly adjusted.
Experts pointed out that from the perspective of product structure and variety, due to the need to save energy and meet the needs of emerging industrial products, special special derivative products will develop greatly. For example, high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motors, generators matched with renewable energy, and new energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy and gas will all develop rapidly. In addition, the demand for medium-sized high and low voltage motors and high-voltage and high-power submersible pumps is also growing rapidly.
New product development has been put on the agenda.
In the past, when developing new products in small and medium-sized motor industry, it was often the behavior of a single enterprise. For the development of a full range of products, it is often a long development cycle, high investment and high risk for an enterprise, but it is more economical to organize a number of enterprises to jointly invest in development and enjoy the development results through scientific research institutes. The development of Y3 series motors with "replacing heat with cold" and the ongoing development of high-efficiency motors, low-noise and low-vibration motors, low-voltage and high-power motors and IP23 protective AC motors are all jointly developed by more than ten enterprises.
This form of joint development has brought many benefits. On the one hand, with the technical and information advantages of scientific research institutes and many enterprises, the development cycle is shortened; On the other hand, it also reduces the burden of independent development of enterprises. This has played a very good role in accelerating the pace of product structure adjustment in small and medium-sized motor industry.
Looking forward to 2005
Industry insiders predict that the small and medium-sized motor industry in China will continue to develop in the next few years, and they are still optimistic about the coming year 2005.
This prediction is not groundless.
With the development of power industry such as power generation equipment and power transmission and transformation equipment, the effective demand of motor market tends to be stable. It is understood that by 20 10, China's annual installed capacity will exceed 37 million kilowatts, with an average annual increase of about 7.8%. The demand for motors is directly proportional to the demand for power generation equipment, namely 1: 3.5 1. In other words, the effective demand for large, medium and small AC motor products in the domestic market will maintain steady growth.
At the same time, because small and medium-sized motors are labor-intensive and material-intensive products, developed countries stopped producing universal AC motors a few years ago and purchased or customized them from abroad, which provided a good opportunity for the export of small and medium-sized motors in China. The rapid growth of small and medium-sized motor exports in China in recent years is a proof.
There is one advantage that cannot be ignored. China's economic growth is still in a state of steady growth. According to the forecast, in 2005, the macro policy will shift from expansionary and proactive fiscal policy to prudent fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, and the GDP growth rate is expected to be 9%.
The future is always beautiful, but there are still difficulties at present.
The unfavorable factors in the motor industry still make it difficult for motor enterprises. Now there are hidden worries outside. Internationally, it is still the best time for the export of the motor industry. However, due to the influence of the macro environment, the pressure of RMB appreciation has been relatively high. Once the RMB appreciates sharply, exports will be greatly affected.
Obviously, for the small and medium-sized motor industry, the most important thing at present is to survive the current price increase period of raw materials.
At present, although the price of raw materials has dropped slightly, it is still running at a high level, the international crude oil price remains high, the domestic coal, electricity and oil transportation will still be in a tense state, and the resource constraints are still outstanding. The biggest difficulty of small and medium-sized motor enterprises is still the dilemma brought about by the rising cost of enterprises.
However, it seems that it will take some time to solve the problem of increased costs.
