Export difficulty is getting higher

Faced with the complex domestic and international economic situation in 2011, China's machinery industry delivered a fairly good transcript: the annual industrial output value was 16.89 trillion yuan, an increase of 25.06% year-on-year; and net profit was 1.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase. The growth was 21.14%; the total volume of imports and exports was 631.2 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 28.84%. However, compared with the data of previous years, these major performance indicators still experienced a significant decline.

Wang Ruixiang, president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry, said that the current world economic recovery has been arduous and weak. Advanced economies such as the United States, Europe, and Japan are implementing "reindustrialization" with advanced manufacturing as their core. International market competition is also facing high-end The development of the direction; emerging economies are accelerating the development of industries and technologies with comparative advantages, which makes China's machinery industry has a comparative advantage of the export of low-end products to expand exports more difficult, the machinery industry is facing "previous post-rescue" pressure. “Multinational corporations in developed economies have built a global production and marketing network and will continue to occupy the commanding heights of international industry for a long period of time. China’s machinery industry is still at the low end of the industrial value chain in international competition. Mainly in the low-end, and the lack of independent brands, low value-added products." Wang Ruixiang said that the right to speak, the lack of bargaining power to make China's machinery industry to upgrade the task of international industrial division of the task will be very difficult. Not only that, but also from the domestic market, the machinery industry is equally difficult: the total demand for machinery products has slowed down, but the level and quality requirements for equipment products have increased; the internationalization trend in the domestic market is clear, and it is urgent to increase the core competitiveness of the industry; The upward pressure has increased, the profit margin of the industry has been compressed; the constraints on resources and the environment tend to strengthen, and the extensive development model is difficult to sustain.

However, whether the machinery industry wants to break through the predicament of the international market or to deal with the difficulties in the domestic market, the key lies in the improvement of its own strength. In response, Wang Ruixiang proposed at the fourth general meeting of the 3rd China Machinery Industry Federation that the machinery industry should break through the development bottleneck, must accelerate the transformation and upgrading, and realize the transformation of the whole machine to drive the development of parts and components and the simultaneous development of the whole machine and parts. It relies mainly on physical production to drive the transformation of relying on physical production and manufacturing service industries. It mainly depends on the increase of material resources consumption and extensive management to rely mainly on scientific and technological advancement, management innovation, and improvement of the quality of laborers, thereby realizing the transformation of the mode of industrial development. Improve industrial technology, improve product quality, and increase economic value-added, so as to fully optimize the industrial structure, technical structure, product structure, organizational structure, and process structure, and promote the overall optimization and upgrading of the industry structure.

For this year's development, Wang Ruixiang believes that the machinery industry must grasp the overall keynote of “stability for progress” and change the target orientation of speed and scale to the goal orientation of quality and efficiency; The main line, to further promote industrial restructuring, focus on the development of basic manufacturing equipment, energy-saving and new energy vehicles, marine engineering equipment, rail transportation equipment, energy equipment and safe production and other equipment, and promote the upgrading of the industrial chain and the upgrading of products and technologies; Seize the central link of improving independent innovation capabilities, provide support for industry transformation and upgrading; continue to place energy saving and emission reduction in a prominent position, and fulfill their duties to create “two-type” society.
