Development status of China's valve industry

After years of development, the number of valve companies in China has risen sharply, with more than 6,000 valve companies of various sizes. The development of the valve industry is very rapid. Especially in Oubei Town, Yongjia, Wenzhou, and Yongqiang, Longwan, Wenzhou, the number of valve companies in the two places accounted for half of the country's total, and the scale is very concentrated. After more than 30 years of development, under the unique cluster mode of Wenzhou, the distribution of the valve industry chain is mature. In addition to some cast iron valves, more than 80% of all types of valves made of carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other special steel materials come from these two places. It is China's largest valve production base and largest valve export base. The fly in the ointment is that Wenzhou's small and medium-sized valve companies have a poor living environment. The government has hardly provided substantial assistance to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and has not promoted the entire industry. Although it has proposed to integrate the entire valve industry, it is still only focusing on Disregard the small situation. Domestic end customers always have inertial prejudice against Wenzhou's valve products, although they may be using products from Wenzhou, but the place of origin on the nameplate is not. In terms of quality, most of the products of Wenzhou valve companies are getting better and better, but they can only do OEM production for other well-known companies. Financing difficulties, high land costs, and profits are maximized in the fierce competition. For Wenzhou small and medium valve companies, it is difficult to grow bigger, and most of the brand roads are still a dream.

China Valve Industry Data

From January to November 2007, China's valve and cock manufacturing industry achieved a total industrial output value of 84,288,398 thousand yuan, an increase of 31.47% over the same period of the previous year; realized a cumulative product sales income of 80,571,055 thousand yuan, an increase of 29.36% over the same period of the previous year; The total accumulated profit was RMB 5,772,097,000, an increase of 44.16% over the same period of the previous year. From January to August 2008, China's valve and cock manufacturing industry achieved a total industrial output value of 73,321,603,000 yuan, an increase of 27.02% over the same period of the previous year; realized a cumulative product sales income of 70,451,147,000 yuan, an increase of 27.27% over the same period of the previous year; achieved cumulative The total profit was RMB 4,470,009,000, an increase of 15.37% over the same period of the previous year. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and several years in the future, China's petrochemical, natural gas, metallurgical industries, electric power, urban construction and other industries have a large amount of demand for valves. It is expected that the total demand for valves in China will be Reached 34.5 billion yuan, therefore, the valve industry has a huge market development space.

Problems in the valve market

The main problems in the valve market are as follows: 1. In order to pursue profits, some operators purchase inferior valves and print famous brands and certificates of compliance, which will cause serious harm to the reputation of qualified valve companies. 2. Refurbished valves. Very few operators repaint the used valves and sell them for the second time, which brings serious safety hazards to the project quality. When buying valves, do not be greedy for cheap, that is, high-quality and low-priced valve products are understandable but unrealistic. Due to various reasons, the valve price fluctuates greatly in various periods before and after. It is not an exaggeration to shop around 10 people when buying. It is best to go to the manufacturer for inspection and supervision.

Strategic planning for valve manufacturing industry

After the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Revitalization of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry", it has promoted the comprehensive revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry. For this reason, the National Development and Reform Commission, the China Machinery Industry Federation, the China Communications Association and other relevant national departments have long proposed a plan to gradually realize the localization of major equipment valves during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, including the realization of one million kilowatts. Through the introduction of key technologies and independent development, as well as the introduction of key technologies and independent development of key valves for nuclear power plants, and the localization of valves for large-scale nuclear power plants and large-scale ethylene equipment, the relevant valve companies seized the opportunity and proactively Valve localization work. A consensus was reached from top to bottom, and gratifying progress was made in valve localization.　The valve industry should base itself on optimizing the industrial structure, energy conservation and environmental protection, independent innovation, reform and opening up, and people-oriented, and accelerate the establishment of a new technological development system for independent development and innovation capabilities. In terms of localization of products in the valve industry at the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, 95-100% of large-scale ethylene special valves should be covered. Special valves for coal chemical industry are mainly used for high-temperature hydrogenation. The key to solve the problem of material sealing pair, and some control drives The device must reach more than 90%; in terms of ultra-supercritical thermal power station technology, the proportion of valve localization must reach 80%-100%. To realize the localization of key valves and key technologies is an arduous task. As long as our valve counterparts work together and focus on the same goal, the localization of valves will surely be achieved.

The valve industry plays a very important role in the development of the national economy as an important link in preparing for the manufacturing industry. It plays a very important role in important areas related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, such as megawatt nuclear power, large-scale clean and high-efficiency power generation, supercritical thermal power, gas steam cycle, Large-scale hydropower and pumped storage, large-scale air-cooled power stations and large-scale circulating fluidized bed boilers, etc.; million-ton large-scale ethylene complete equipment, para-xylene, phthalic acid, and polyester complete equipment; large-scale coal chemical equipment; large-scale coal Underground mining, lifting and washing and delivery equipment; large ships, large chemical ships, aircraft carriers, CNG; atmospheric treatment, urban industrial wastewater treatment, urban pipe network transformation, etc., all require a large number of domestic valves as supporting facilities to meet the needs of the national economy. Manufacturing requirements, to achieve the scientific development of the entire industry, take the lead in development, good and fast development, seize the opportunities of domestic and foreign markets, forge ahead, and strive to build China into the main production base of global valves.
