Statistics from China Machinery General Parts Association show that the fastener industry experienced negative growth in 2012, down about 1.5% year-on-year, mainly due to insufficient market demand, especially after fasteners suffered from international anti-dumping, export sales declined. situation. In 2012, both the import and export volume of China's fasteners decreased: the export volume was 2.4641 million tons, and the foreign exchange earned from exports was 4.516 billion US dollars, down 4.8% and 2.4% year-on-year respectively; the import volume of fasteners was 252,400 tons, and the import value was 2.892 billion. USD, down 4.7% and 2.2% year-on-year, respectively.
For this reason, I believe that there is a fundamental problem in the development of China's fasteners, that is, the growth model is flawed. Due to the prominent drawbacks of the existing economic growth model, a series of practical problems, such as intensified competition for creative capital and means of production, waste of resources, environmental damage, inequality of income between the rich and the poor, and flooding of low-end product liquidity.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to transform the extensive growth mode into an intensive or refined growth mode. The transformation and development mode of China's fasteners is urgent, and the transformation and development mode is the main line of the future development of China's fasteners.
At present, the problems in the economic system of China's fasteners have caused the tension of human capital and the flood of low-end product liquidity, and the rapid development has also exacerbated environmental damage. Ecological problems are more difficult than social problems. Nowadays, there are a lot of haze weather in large and medium cities. How much PM2.5 is invisible and intangible is the credit of fasteners, so many fine particles floating in the air The formation of is not a day's work.
The extensive growth mode of China's fasteners mainly relies on the increase of resource input to achieve growth. In the past 30 years, China's fasteners have achieved high-speed development by relying on the market economic system. However, due to the deformed development of fasteners and the serious deterioration of the economic structure, although adjustment and transformation have been required for many years, the output-oriented development model But it has not changed.
After the reform and opening up in the 1980s and 1990s, due to the continuous pursuit of high economic growth, China followed the example of Japan and other Southeast Asian countries to implement an export-oriented strategy, and used export demand to make up for the lack of domestic demand. development has played a very positive role. But any kind of policy that has played a positive role cannot be effective forever.
With the passage of time, the negative effect of relying on policy support to expand exports has gradually increased, and various negative consequences have become increasingly prominent. Due to the low added value and profitability of export products, Chinese fastener exporters can only "win by volume" and maintain development by increasing the number of exports, so this is the case. China consumes a lot of non-renewable resources and suffers from With the pollution of the environment and the notoriety of "dumping", the majority of the profits are not in their own hands.
Intensive or refined growth mode is to allow technological progress and management efficiency improvement to play a leading role in the entire growth, and the result is an increase in added value and an increase in profits. Because, if it is to rely on investment, although the output increases, the cost also increases, which is unsustainable. The current problem is that the entrepreneurial environment and the government's management of technology education are considerably flawed.
As long as we can build a system and policy environment that is conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship through reforms, we can completely improve the technical level and added value of China's fasteners in a not too long period of time. At present, the world's advanced fasteners are facing technological breakthroughs, big or small. If China's fasteners can seize this great opportunity, give full play to their advantages, and develop some internationally competitive products, it is also It's entirely possible.
In the absence of major fluctuations in the macro economy at home and abroad, the growth rate of my country's fastener production and sales in 2013 will bid farewell to the negative growth in 2012, low-speed growth will become the norm, and the production and sales growth rate will remain between 3% and 6%. The author believes that in 2013 and even the next 3 to 5 years, fastener companies should concentrate on "superior troops" and focus on "three major battles":
1. Do a good job in the defense of market expansion. my country's fastener enterprises should focus on the international and domestic markets, fully mobilize both international and domestic resources, do everything possible to expand the market, and seize more market shares. In the domestic market, the products can be achieved without others, and the products with others are better than others, providing new economic growth points for the development of enterprises. And vigorously expand overseas markets, have the conditions and ability, steadily, actively "going out", and vigorously expand the international market.
2. Do a good job in the tough battle to improve the capability of independent innovation. The key is to strengthen capacity building. Fastener enterprises must keep up with international and industry development trends, increase investment in the improvement of independent technological innovation capabilities, and cover the entire process of product development, including design, testing instruments, processing equipment and test equipment, so that In order to be at the leading level in the industry, while increasing investment in technological innovation, it is also necessary to strengthen intellectual property management.
3. Do a good job in the protracted battle for management improvement. If an enterprise wants to develop lastingly, it cannot be sustained without management support; if a brand wants to become stronger and bigger, it is like a castle in the air without a management foundation. Only by reducing costs from "cost project engineering", improving benefits from "lean production management engineering", promoting "excellent engineering" and manufacturing "excellent products" can it have vitality and competitiveness in the international and domestic markets.
