Technology has become a breakthrough in China's valve market industry development

Abstract: In China's current valve market, except that low-pressure valves have reached the international market's acceptable level, high-pressure valves still have to rely on imports. Many domestic valve companies have passed the “West-East Gas Transmission”. In addition to environmental factors, some other factors, such as backwardness in equipment and technology, low degree of specialization, and small market size, are also the bottlenecks restricting the development of the valve industry.

According to the scientific concept of development, in order to ensure the coordinated development of the economy in the future and to improve people’s lives, China will inevitably put infrastructure construction such as water, electricity, gas, and heat in the top priority. This is precisely where the valve is used. The first is the South-to-North Water Diversion project in China. The amount of money used for valve purchases is as high as tens of millions of yuan in the length of 70 kilometers from the suburbs of Beijing to the urban areas. Then the demand for the entire South-to-North Water Diversion Project on the valve can be imagined. Secondly, in order to solve the problem of power shortage, the large-scale hydropower project is not only a top priority for the Chinese government, but also a long-term task. However, due to the large gap between high-end technology and foreign manufacturers, the product technology will become a bottleneck restricting the development of China's valve products in the coming period.

Therefore, improving the level and grade of valve products is the most important issue for the development of China's valve industry in the future. The sluggishness of the entire valve industry has led to the backwardness of China's valve products, which is an important factor restricting the development of China's valve products. When reporters were investigating the valve industry, Ding Wei, general manager of Chengdu Chengfeng Valve Co., Ltd., said truthfully. According to the relevant information, in the current valve market in China, except for low-pressure valves that have reached the international market's acceptable level, high-pressure valves still have to rely on imports. In the continuing favorable macroeconomic situation, most of the valve industry's production and sales indicators have maintained rapid growth, but due to the impact of price wars, industry sales revenue and profits have dropped significantly compared with last year. With the recovery of the world economy, the import and export of China's valve products have also increased, but the competition in the international valve market is also increasing. When talking about this issue, Ding cited an example. In this year's “West-to-East Gas Pipeline” project, due to the large number of valve products required for the main line project, a number of domestic and foreign valve companies participated in the bidding for the main line project. The local valve enterprise of the “West-East Gas Pipeline” project has only one valve of “wind”. Although in the bidding of the branch line project, the Luanjia Valve has achieved a good record, but this is obviously not enough to make the domestic valve "elevated." According to industry sources, most local valve companies missed the “West-to-East Gas Transmission” project and were a shame to the valve industry.

Many domestic valve companies have passed the “West-East Gas Transmission”. In addition to environmental factors, some other factors, such as backwardness in equipment and technology, low degree of specialization, and small market size, are also the bottlenecks restricting the development of the valve industry.

There is a certain gap between the domestic valve companies and foreign countries, and in terms of the domestic valve industry, there is also a large gap between the mainland and the coastal areas. The valve industry in the mainland has a low starting point, a small scale, a low degree of specialization, and a low degree of marketization. This has widened the gap with the coastal areas and also led to the unbalanced development of the domestic valve industry.

Under such circumstances, it is imperative for domestic valve companies to introduce foreign advanced equipment and advanced technology to arm themselves against foreign companies. At the same time, domestic valve companies should also be involved in the international market in terms of capital, technology, management, and other elements to learn from others' advanced things. For example, establishing a joint venture overseas; establishing a production and processing base outside the country; and transporting technology and management personnel according to the needs of foreign engineering projects are all good choices.

The domestic valve industry must get rid of the current predicament, break the bottleneck of the bottleneck, seek new space for development, and stand up to its own position in the fierce competition, it is necessary to take corresponding measures. It is reported that in the next period of time, foreign capital will gradually enter the Chinese valve industry, which is undoubtedly a strong stimulus to the domestic valve industry.
