How far is China's electric valve industry from the advanced world?
Today, the annual turnover of electric valve shopping malls in China is as high as 50 billion yuan, during which more than 10 billion yuan of shopping malls are occupied by foreign valve companies. According to China's "Eleventh Five Year Plan", China's electric valve industry, especially the valve companies focusing on water affairs and the construction of two shopping malls, still lags behind the world's advanced companies in energy-saving, environmental protection, safety and sustainable development strategies.
It is understood that the main table is: China's companies are small, the skill level is low, and the brand competitiveness is still relatively weak. If these questions are not solved in time, they will not only greatly affect the overall supporting level of China's valve industry, but also restrict the healthy growth of China's electric valve industry. Combination and reorganization is a process that must be passed by China's valve industry. Only through large-scale and large-scale combination of excellent property and rapid formation of a strong group can famous brand goods become the leading role of China's valve shopping malls and ensure the urgent needs of Chinese users for medium and high-end goods.
During the Eleventh Five Year Plan period, it is speculated that the total demand for domestic electric valves is 34.5 billion yuan. In addition, according to the needs of China's national economic development, the key points of valve development are the development of new commodities supporting the construction of major projects such as thermal power, nuclear power, hydropower, large petrochemical industry, oil and gas gathering and transmission pipeline, coal liquefaction and metallurgy. In the development of the above new products, attention should be paid to the promotion and use of new process skills, such as the use of new vacuum electron beam welding process and shear extrusion skills when developing forged welding structures for valves in high temperature and high pressure power plants and nuclear power plants; Develop all welding skills for large-diameter ball valves in long-distance pipelines.
Valves are indispensable fluid control equipment in various departments of the national economy, such as petroleum, chemical industry, power station, long-distance pipeline, shipbuilding, nuclear industry, various low-temperature engineering, aerospace and offshore oil production.
Through more than 20 years of development, there are more than 6000 large and small valve companies in China, the number of companies ranks first in the world, and 900 have an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan. From the commodity situation, China's valve industry can now produce more than a dozen categories of commodities, such as electric ball valve, electric gate valve, electric butterfly valve, electric stop valve, safety valve, check valve, solenoid valve, plunger valve, sewage valve, angle seat valve, steam trap, emergency shut-off valve, etc.
The national development and Reform Commission issued announcement No. 11 of 2008. 351 new occupational standards were put into use on July 1, 2008, including 253 mechanical occupational standards and 30 pump and valve occupations. With the support of national policies, the valve profession will adhere to the outstanding development trend from 2008 to 2009. It is estimated that the total sales of electric valves in China in 2010 is 6.736 billion yuan, the total export of valves is 2.009 billion US dollars, and the total import of valves is 3.632 billion US dollars.
