Affected by the weakness of domestic and foreign markets, affected by factors such as raw materials and labor costs, the current situation of the valve industry is not optimistic. With the continuous expansion of product export and market share, the whole industry has seen a sharp drop in domestic and foreign sales orders and a significant shortage of production tasks. The sustained high growth rate for many years shows a downward trend. Some enterprises have gradually become an important production base and main product sales market of the industry due to the depression of production and sales. China's control valve factory enterprises are numerous, small, lack of core competitiveness, and enterprise concentration is low, it is difficult to produce influence in the international market, to a large extent restricts the healthy development of the valve industry.
Since the financial crisis in 2008, the domestic valve industry appears the most difficult period. Do not rule out the coming industry shuffle. On the one hand, the external market continues to be weak. On the other hand, the comparative advantage under the influence of rising combined costs weakens.
In China, the BA tube is mainly expanded by quantity. Although more and more valves from China are flowing in the international valve market, the power of the international valve market is not in the hands of Chinese enterprises.
Cause many problems of the valve industry mainly after the reform and opening up, market expand rapidly, and the original state-owned enterprises valve were shut down and go, original mechanical industry level is not high, so the township and village enterprises (private enterprises), have developed rapidly, low starting point, technical force is very weak, poorly equipped, most products are imitation production, plus market chaos, especially water supply and drainage with low pressure valves, serious problems.
As the global valve market has become increasingly competitive, many of the world's leading valve manufacturers have closed their factories in North America, Europe and Japan to China, India, South Korea and Central Europe to reduce manufacturing costs and increase sales margins. With the development and utilization of oil and natural gas in China, the valve market in China has grown substantially, which makes most valve manufacturers attach more importance to the establishment of plants in China. Then, appeared the upsurge that foreign valve enterprise builds a factory in China, some enterprise even has many factories in China, in order to shorten transportation distance and delivery time.
China's valve industry in the industrial structure, the industrial chain of the valve industry, as well as the professional degree of the industry and foreign enterprises have a large gap in the quality of domestic valve products is caused by: due to the rapid expansion of the market, the original state-owned valve enterprises have shut down and turn. According to air conditioning refrigeration market research to understand, although a number of the rapid development of township enterprises, but because of the low starting point of township enterprises, technical strength is very weak, poorly equipped, most products are imitation production, especially the serious problem of water supply and drainage with low pressure valve but the problem does not affect the valve industry in China and broad prospects. This mainly benefits from the support of national policies and the strong demand of valve product market, especially the construction of several century projects such as "West-east gas transmission", "West-East power transmission" and "South-to-North Water Diversion", which need a large number of valve products.
In the increasingly fierce valve market, only those companies with core competitiveness can gain a foothold in the market, and innovation becomes a weapon to win the market.
