From the sales statistics of the European car model market, the growth in 2007 was significant, the strongest growth came from Spain, 18%, France, 10%, Britain 9%, Italy 6% and Germany 3%.

As a European Union country, France has a rich historical background. As early as the car model rose, car fans began to collect the car model. Today, the number of fan model Tibetan friends has reached about one million people. Each model enthusiast collects a lot of models and proportions of car models. Some model enthusiasts collect car models. Thousands of cars. The French model enthusiasts spanned two ages from teenagers to adults, laying the foundation for the development of the French car model market. Compared with the toy structure in the French market in 2006, the proportion of the reduction mode increased rapidly, and the car model rose rapidly, with an increase of 10%.

The car model became the fastest growing adult toy in Britain in 2007. There was a large group of car model enthusiasts in Britain. The car model was not only loved by adults in Britain, but also loved by many teenagers. Car models in the UK market mainly come from imports. Asia is the main source area, and a small number of products come from the European continent.

In Europe and Japan, in addition to the collector of car models and the related clubs, there are regularly published books with rich content and fine print, and provide service opportunities for people to see and change the results of others. In Hongkong, there are more than 100 big and small car model stores, basically a car model shop to buy a type of car, the classification is very fine, indicating that the model market is very mature. In New Zealand, the size of some car model stores is different from the 4S stores in China. According to the model and proportion, the annual turnover is tens of millions, with tens of thousands of members.

What new changes and new trends will the precision machining industry usher in in 2018

In 2018, it can be said that the opportunity and challenge of the precision machining industry coexist. Now it is the era of high efficiency and the advanced network communication. The traditional manufacturing enterprises will suffer unprecedented challenges. Many people who are willing to try and eat crabs are already on the road of change.
1, industry automation, intelligent industrial upgrading and reform have been widely recognized and sought after in the industry, and many enterprises are also in their own way to implement their own automation projects, such as GREE, the United States, Foxconn and so on have their own automated implementation team. Small and medium-sized enterprises unable to build their own automation teams are also trying hard to build their own automation processes through various channels.
2. The state policy has been planning the industrial 4 planning ahead of time. Whether it is based on Industrial 3 automation or based on the two integration of the 4 industrialization and informationization, it has pointed out the direction for China’s manufacturing industry from the overall situation and, more importantly, has given great support to technology and funds on many projects. The strength of the holding is unprecedented.
3, the automation supporting enterprises are in full bloom, the crazy emergence of various robotic company, the continuous innovation of all kinds of automation control technology, and the emergence of various automation schemes, all let us really feel the vitality of this industry, and see its potential as a precision machining industry. Manufacturing enterprises, if you do not have any automation upgrade ideas, you are embarrassed to chat with others.
4, the traditional manufacturing industry will suffer unprecedented challenges. This challenge has not only the high cost of labor, but also the inuniformity of product quality. Many enterprises in China do not have the excessive conditions from making products to high quality products, and this condition is more ideologically lacking, and these enterprises still locate the products. In the “sufficient and capable” level, no enterprising to “good use, want to use” such a height, the product manufacturing sector is in the “Shanzhai” to “independent research and development” in the process of transformation, those unconventional enterprises will become a new round of shuffling victims.
5. With the further increase in the gap between China’s available labor force and the continuous development of the third industry, the precision machinery industry will have an embarrassing situation with no successors, especially the traditional manufacturing industry, which is completely dependent on manpower, especially the post-90s and 00 later generations, facing a variety of job markets and stable homes. They are more willing to spend their energy and time on their interests and hobbies. They are more capital and willing to desire freedom and beauty. They have more balance space between their work and life, and the “dirty, tired, messy and poor” in the traditional machinery industry will greatly affect their choice of business. It can even be bold to predict that if China does not take the road of automation and intellectualization, the labels of manufacturing powers will also fade away from our vision.
6, the high integration of industrial Internet, robot, automation, intelligent induction equipment, information, data processing and other cross industries will be widely used in the manufacturing and mechanical industries. A product from R & D, procurement, manufacturing, debugging, sales, service to corporate finance will be due to the emergence of industrial Internet. Becoming visible, timely and controllable, the development of mobile terminals has also made many decisions and empowerment more stereoscopic and spatialization. Any time can be work time, any place can be an office, which is a realistic possibility.
7. The product production of the enterprise will turn from large-scale mass production to high quality, good service, and customizable direction, to export high value-added products to the market, to establish brand bargaining power is the winning way for the future development of the enterprise. The good enterprise no longer blindly pursue big and complete, but should pay more attention to the strong and fine production. The products of the stream, the first class brand, the first-class service, the most loyal customers, the perfect self, the enterprise no longer pursue the big, but the pursuit of good life.
8, customized products, personalized products will become the bridge of communication between enterprises and customers, “we are different” will become the common pursuit of enterprises and customers.
9. The collision of various business models in the industry and the intertwining of various operating modes between industries will occur in the precision mechanical processing industry, especially the revolutionary changes brought about by the Internet, which will bring about a subversive change to the machinery industry, the substantial integration of the real economy and the virtual economy, and the boundary will also be on the border. Gradually blurred and even vanished.
10, the talent gap in the high-end manufacturing industry will be further increased, the demand for talents and the training of talents in Colleges and universities are further aggravated. Vocational education is expected to be combined with academic education, and the university is not the only purpose of academic education alone, and it will be a possibility to deliver qualified technical talents to enterprises. At the same time, the cooperation between enterprises and universities will be closer and mutually beneficial.
11. The independent innovation and R & D awareness of enterprises will be further strengthened, and the enterprises will be put into practice. The state will further improve the standards and systems of intellectual property rights, and promote and promote the development of intellectual property rights.

Analysis of the development trend of China intelligent manufacturing industry in 2018

First, the general trend of intelligent manufacturing

1. The demographic dividend disappears and the labor force becomes scarce resources

The demographic dividend is the economic growth effect associated with the increase in the proportion of the working population in the total population. It usually occurs in the late period of the transition period of the population, at this time, because of the decline in fertility, the population of young children is reduced and the proportion of the working age population is rising. Some experts point out that the population change has made China enjoy the demographic dividend from 1960s, and as the birth rate continues to decline, the number of China’s labor population has declined in 2012, which means the demographic dividend tends to disappear, and the turning point of China’s demographic dividend stage around 2015.

Related reports: “2018-2024 years of China’s high-end smart equipment market supply and demand forecast and investment prospect forecast report” issued by Chi Yan consulting network.

The traditional labor intensive enterprises in China rely heavily on the demographic dividend, and the disappearance of the demographic dividend makes the low-cost labor force become scarce resources, and the traditional manufacturing industry is facing the problem of survival with the increasing human cost.

2, the continued recovery of downstream demand

The information industry is a typical upstream industry, which mainly serves the information needs of different industries, such as education, medical care, finance, government, industry and so on. The promotion of upstream prosperity can effectively promote the promotion of information investment, which is better than the information enterprises in the downstream industry. In the past few years, medical IT, financial IT and other fields have come out. The situation is too high. Compared with the medical, financial and other industries, the level of industrial informatization in China is relatively low, and the industry itself has the demand for permeability enhancement. On the other hand, in recent years, in the impetus of the policy of the state supply side reform, the demand for industrial fields has been sustained, and the performance of many subdivision industries, such as automobile, steel, textile and so on, has recovered. The recovery of downstream industries will be expected to drive upstream investment in information technology.

The automobile industry is an important force to push forward the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. It is also an important support for building a strong manufacturing country and an important pillar of the national economy. In October 2017, automobile production and sales decreased slightly compared with last month, a slight increase. In the 1-10 month, the auto industry was running smoothly, and the main economic indicators increased to varying degrees. Although the growth rate slowed down, it was still at a relatively fast growth level. China’s automobile industry has been growing steadily in recent months, showing that the demand for industry is still strong.

Machinery industry: 249 companies listed before 2016 increased by 14.6% in the 1 quarter of 2017, up 25.7% in the 2 quarter. Since 2017, the demand for industry has been strong, and the profitability of the manufacturing sector is being repaired.

Thanks to the continuous recovery of downstream demand, the investment in manufacturing informatization is expected to continue to increase, and the relevant information enterprises will benefit from it.

3, the enterprise’s own profit seeking

With the increase of human cost and the cost of raw materials in the upstream, the difficulty of enterprise profit has been more difficult than in the past, especially in the manufacturing industry.

The manufacturing cycle time of manufacturing enterprises refers to the total time from order delivery through workshop turnover to final shipment. The shorter the manufacturing cycle time is, the less the manufacturer’s inventory is, the less material will be scrapped when the market demand changes, and the greater the flexibility of adjustment and adaptation. On the other hand, the longer the period of manufacturing, the more the backlog, the increase of bad and waste, the increase of the storage cost and so on. In addition, the longer the manufacturing cycle, the more problems that may arise in the factory workshop. Reducing the manufacturing cycle time not only affects the preparation of the material, but also improves the shipment plan and the output of the product, because the time of the material stays shorter before the next operation, so the process is reduced. Because the product is less processed, the quality of the product can be improved. The manufacturing cycle time is the biggest problem in the complex category assembly of most electronics and electrical appliances. Each time the manufacturing cycle is doubled, the profit and profit of the enterprise can increase by 2.2 times. Intelligent manufacturing can significantly shorten the manufacturing cycle time, improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and increase unit time output, thereby enhancing corporate profits. Therefore, because of their pursuit of profit, they will also invest more in the field of intelligent manufacturing.

4, policy intensive, China made 2025 imminent.

In 2015, the State Council issued “China made 2025” and proposed the strategic goal of realizing the manufacturing power through “three steps”. The programme of action faces ten key areas and builds five major projects, including the construction of innovation center in manufacturing industry, intelligent manufacturing, industrial strong base, green manufacturing, and high-end equipment innovation. The nineteen major reports also put forward new requirements for the development of manufacturing industry.

A few years ago, according to the Circular of the Ministry of industry and information technology on the recommendation of the 2017 pilot project on Intelligent Manufacturing demonstration project, the list of pilot projects for the pilot project of Intelligent Manufacturing in 2017 has been confirmed through the selection of local industry and information departments, expert reviews and online publicity. In order to promote the policy of intelligent manufacturing industry, we will accelerate the deployment of the above projects, and summarize the experience of pilot projects and promote them in various industries.

Four major trends in the manufacturing industry in 2018

It is reported that technology will endow enterprises with innovation, and the main trends that companies need to master if they want to succeed in the coming year are:

Four major trends in the manufacturing industry in 2018

1. Flexibility

The key factor for the growth of manufacturing industry in 2018 and beyond is whether the enterprise is flexible enough to handle a large number of predictable and unpredictable changes. A flexible enterprise will be able to get rid of potential problems that may lead to such political or legislative changes, such as the need to adjust internal processes or to hire people with different professional fields.

The bigger challenge comes from unpredictable changes at any time. Manufacturers who are prepared for the change will be able to seize opportunities, mitigate threats, and control significant changes such as the Global Data ProtecTIon RegulaTIons (GDPR) regulations.

For many manufacturers, the main obstacle to flexibility is having to rely on the outdated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Highly integrated ERP systems enable manufacturers to respond quickly to the last minute order changes and improve resource management to control spending and reduce waste. And having a flexible IT solution will become the engine of forward-looking enterprise growth.

Two, industry 4 is more mature

The development of industrial 4 in 2017 has been a widely discussed topic. Industry 4 combines artificial intelligence (AI) and data science to realize the potential of IoT. But only a large amount of data is not enough. Manufacturers need to use these data in the coming year to get insights that can assist decision-making and promote better business results.

As more and more smart devices are integrated into enterprises in 2018, industry 4 will continue to dominate the manufacturing industry, providing valuable benefits, including mechanical predictive maintenance and increased automation, to assist manufacturers in optimizing operations. Sensors are being used to identify inventory levels and automatically replenish them based on historical records. This innovation reduces production downtime and ensures optimized delivery schedule.

Three. The customer experience is the king’s way

With the increasing amount of data created, the opportunity to enhance customer experience has been greatly improved. Because of the increasingly fierce competition in the business environment, this field is more important than ever. The success of enterprises in 2018 will be summed up as how to stand out among many companies and focus on customer experience will be the key. This means that B2B business practices need to start to be more like B2C companies and more customer experience.

For manufacturers dealing with complex supply chains, a powerful and modern ERP system is now widely regarded as a key role in improving customer experience. The IDC report of the research and Development Institute pointed out that 85% manufacturers with more than 5000 employees regarded ERP as an important platform for providing positive customer experience.

Four, AI driven services

It is the role of AI to improve the customer experience. AI will have a profound impact on the ERP system in many ways in 2018. For example, the AI driven ERP is being used to create a dynamic workflow to understand the interaction between the enterprise and its employees and the software, and then propose different optimizations for individual users.

AI allows businesses to provide permanent online customer service without time zone or holiday restrictions, and can expand rapidly and achieve unparalleled personalization throughout the journey of the customer. In addition, the predictive analytical AI can be used to produce more insight into the large amount of data collected by specific business outcomes and manufacturers.

Ten major trends in the technology management of manufacturing industry in 2018

In this year’s report on the work of the central government, special emphasis has been placed on major structural changes in the economic structure over the past five years and the annual growth of the high-tech manufacturing industry by 11.7%. Innovation driven development has yielded fruitful results, and the R & D investment of the whole society has increased by 11% annually, ranking the second largest in the world. The contribution rate of scientific and technological progress increased from 52.2% to 57.5%.

Over the past few years, various industries have been undergoing digital transformation, that is, our widely recognized investment in “industrial 4”. From the pilot projects, the trend of digital transformation is accelerating. So far, most of these investments are aimed at improving business reliability in terms of asset reliability, product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

The following ten trends will be active in China’s manufacturing industry technology and management chart in 2018. Some of the trends are very obvious, some are not, but I believe these trends are likely to have a profound impact on the management of the manufacturing industry and its contribution to excellent operation.

1, industrial big data and quality acceleration industry upgrade

Quality is a top application scenario of IIoT technology. The awareness of the Internet of things is increasing substantially every year. Most enterprises have started or planned to start a plan related to the industrial Internet of things. This change in the market is partly due to the growing number of successful cases and the increasingly mature and easy to deploy solutions.

The case of IOT business around intelligent manufacturing and digital twin has increased significantly in the past year. Quality initiatives such as zero defects are based on these industrial IOT methods to increase substantial operational and financial returns. Zero defect is based on the quality data of manufacturing enterprises.

It is an inevitable trend to combine quality data with testing results, manufacturing execution system, manufacturing operation management data, warranty data, and sensor data in intelligent manufacturing. Continuous real-time data statistics can help identify products, batches or processes that have passed quality checks but still lead to service interruption. With time and rapid accumulation of data, it allows real-time identification of previously undetectable failures. In 2018, the government’s work report emphasized: strengthening product quality supervision. We should carry out quality improvement actions in an all-round way, push forward benchmarking with international advanced standards, carry forward the spirit of craftsmen, and create a quality revolution made in China.

2, supplier and value management get new traction

Digital transformation and management of supply chain is one of the most critical areas of enterprise success, and it is also one of the most immature areas of manufacturing digitalization at present. More industry consulting research shows that nearly 20% of enterprises adopt digital technology to realize the automation of supply chain quality management.

Since 2017, with the drive of information technology, this field has received unprecedented attention. It is expected that many enterprises will increase their investment in supply chain and quality management in 2018, and the main purpose of capital or management costs is to convert traditional supply chain management into automatic data driven processes.

3. Cooperative drive manufacturing

The risk of manufacturing enterprises has never been so high. Enterprises face pressure such as increasing product complexity, changing the global market, requiring regulatory agencies, changing labor demand and complex value chain, all of which are fragmented to the quality management process at the same time that the product release cycle is shrinking. Today’s business customers have unprecedented visibility and analytical ability, and consumers share experience in social media and the Internet market, often two extremes, either very positive or very negative.

The market is facing these challenges, and more enterprises are implementing the digital management of collaborative collaboration. Many companies are moving from traditional analysis and standards to modern analysis and measurement. These measures, combined with edge data, historical data, and business metrics, require the deployment of cross functional processes and teams in design, manufacturing and services to enable high-level analysis to see the typical situation within a factory within a short period of time. And it begins to deliver predictive ability for a long time.

4. The new goal of asset management is to “optimize the assets”

Since the advent of asset performance management, whether it is computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) or enterprise asset management (EAM), the emphasis has been to improve reliability, reduce downtime and reduce the maintenance of out of plan. There is an assumption that minimizing downtime can improve profitability, and the best way to reduce downtime is to “repair” devices before disasters occur. The problem with this assumption is that maintaining the behavior of a device itself can lead to further failure.

On the 2017, a few world-class smart manufacturers began to pay attention to the “profit” and “operating performance” products based on industrial large data analysis that had been used to predict when a device failed, and then on the basis of predictive maintenance. The most important transformation in 2018 will be to break away from the idea of maintenance centered, and the new focus is to optimize the profitability of equipment. Machine self-learning (ML) and industrial large data analysis will enable enterprises to determine the best operation of the factory based on the backlog of orders, reliability problems and the factory’s digital twin models. In 2018, asset management focused on digital twins and normative analysis, especially non-standard industrial production equipment, was more about asset optimization.

An analysis of the development prospect of China manufacturing industry in 2018

The capacity utilization rate of manufacturing enterprises has reached a high level. After five years of capacity adjustment and more than a year of economic recovery, manufacturing enterprises’ income and profitability have shown a marked recovery. Relatively speaking, manufacturing fixed assets investment is slightly lagging behind. In the first 10 months of 2017, the main business income of manufacturing enterprises increased by 9% year-on-year, which was significantly faster than the low digit growth in 2015~2016 years, while the total profit increased by 16% over the same period, and it was also significantly higher than that of the 2015~2016 year. At the same time, the growth rate of fixed asset investment in manufacturing industry has been down all the way, and has dropped to a historical low of about 4%. Therefore, the capacity utilization rate of manufacturing enterprises has been greatly improved since 2017, and has increased by 3.6ppt to 76.8% from September. We are optimistic about the accelerated growth of manufacturing investment in 2018. Considering that the return on net assets of most manufacturing enterprises since 2017 has been substantially rebounded and the balance sheet has been restored, we believe that the investment in fixed assets in manufacturing industry has a large upward space. From the historical point of view, the growth of fixed assets of non-financial enterprises is often lagging behind the growth of net profit for about half a year. Considering the rapid growth of net profit of non financial enterprises in 2017, we expect to accelerate the growth of fixed assets investment in the 2018.

The investment in fixed assets of manufacturing industry is significantly lower than that of income and profit growth.

Data sources: public data consolidation

Non financial enterprises, fixed assets growth lag, net profit growth

Data sources: public data consolidation

We hope that the capacity recovery of the cycle plate and the capacity expansion of the emerging sector will be enhanced. In the lower reaches of the industry, the growth rate of net profit in 2017 is far greater than the growth rate of fixed assets, including non-ferrous metals, petroleum and petrochemical, coal, port and shipping, optical optoelectronics, general machinery, basic chemical industry, building materials, light industrial manufacturing, household appliances, instruments and food and beverages, and so on. There is a lot of space. Comparatively speaking, the growth of fixed assets investment in automobile, electronics, electricity, gas, textile and clothing and semiconductor is faster than net profit growth. But considering that semiconductors and electronics are in the emerging industries, the demand is expanding, and it is in the period of industrial development. We are still optimistic about the growth of investment in these emerging fields. To sum up, we are optimistic about the lower downstream boom and the capacity to continue to expand, including: 1) new industrial chains, such as OLED equipment, semiconductor equipment, lithium electric equipment, and 2) industries such as injection machines, textile machinery and woodworking machinery, which have benefited from the recovery of traditional plate capacity.

Net profit growth and fixed asset investment growth in various industries

Data sources: public data consolidation

China has the foundation of the upgrading of the manufacturing industry. We believe that the rise of China’s manufacturing industry has four advantages and will be more obvious in the next 3~5 years. 1) the vast domestic market: China’s domestic demand market will be the largest domestic demand market in the world, China’s population accounts for 19% of the world’s population, and its consumption accounts for ~11% of the global consumption. This will create favorable conditions for the scale effect of standardized production enterprises to minimize the cost of the single product, which has been reflected in the industry and other industries, and is expected to be more obvious in the future. 2) engineer bonus: China has abundant high-quality labor force. In China, nearly 8 million undergraduate students graduate each year. If they consider the masters and doctoral graduates, the number will exceed 10 million. This has provided a large number of relatively inexpensive R & D personnel for China’s manufacturing industry. We expect Chinese manufacturers to enjoy very large engineer bonuses. At the same time, a large number of high-level talents superimposing China’s huge population base will create more convenient conditions for low end specialization. 3) has the world’s largest transport network and mobile Internet. These two networks, on the one hand, help China to excavate and release the potential demand, on the other hand, to improve the production and living efficiency from the supply side, reduce the cost of logistics and enhance the overall competitiveness of China. 4) industrial chain clusters, which provide advantages for procurement, logistics, R & D and so on. Based on the vast local market and the manufacturing costs that still have relative advantages, many industries can be in China from the upper reaches of the industrial chain to the most downstream, even in a region and a city in China, which will bring a full range of advantages to the manufacturing industry. Focus on advanced manufacturing enterprises with core technology. In 2015, Premier Li Keqiang put forward the grand plan of “China made 2025” for the first time in the “report on government work”, and put forward ten years to enter the ranks of manufacturing power and put forward five major projects, which are manufacturing engineering, intelligent manufacturing engineering, industrial base engineering, green manufacturing project, and high-end equipment, respectively. Innovation project. At the same time, it was pointed out that by 2020, 40% of the core components and key basic materials were guaranteed, and by 2025, 70% of the core components and key basic materials were guaranteed. And the implementation of large aircraft, aero engines and gas turbines, marine vessels, high-end CNC machine tools, nuclear power equipment and other advanced manufacturing industrialization projects. At present, China’s manufacturing industry already has the foundation of industrial upgrading, and has made significant breakthroughs in various fields. It is expected that the upgrading of the industry will further deepen in the future.
With the new generation of labor force represented by the 80 and the 90’s become the backbone of the society, the “bonus of engineers” has gradually emerged and become a push.

China will ban the import of solid wastes such as scrap hardware and waste plastics.

China Securities netnews April 19th morning, the Ministry of ecology and environment held a regular press conference in April 2018. Liu Youbin, a spokesman for the Ministry of ecological environment, said, recently, the Ministry of ecology, the Ministry of Commerce, the development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued the bulletin on the adjustment of the catalogue of import waste management, and the catalogue of imported waste management was adjusted in batch: scrap hardware, waste ships, scrap car press pieces, Smelt slag and industrial sources 16 kinds of solid waste, such as waste plastic, are adjusted to prohibit import, and are implemented since December 31, 2018. 16 solid wastes, such as scrap of stainless steel, scrap of titanium, waste material of wood waste and so on, have been adjusted to the prohibition of import and carried out since December 31, 2019.

In July 2017, the Chinese government issued the implementation plan for the reform of the import and export of solid waste import management system (hereinafter referred to as the implementation plan), and clearly put forward the “classification and adjustment of the import solid waste management catalogue in batch classification”, “gradually reducing the type and quantity of the import of solid waste.” At the end of 2017, the Ministry of environmental protection and the Ministry of environmental protection have adjusted 4 kinds of solid waste of 24 kinds of solid waste, such as waste plastic, unsorted waste paper, waste textile, vanadium slag, etc. This directory adjustment is another important reform measure to promote the reform of solid waste import management system.

Restricting and prohibiting the import of solid waste is a major measure to implement the new concept of development, to improve the quality of the ecological environment, to ensure the national ecological security and the health of the people. The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the nineteen major report of the party to strengthen solid waste and waste disposal as an important part of the solution to the problem of the environment. This year’s report on government work has made the classified disposal of solid waste and refuse to be strengthened and the entry of “Ocean Garbage” prohibited as a key work of this year.

Next, the Ministry of ecological environment will carry out the nineteen major spirit of the party and the report requirements of the government work with the relevant departments, conscientiously implement the decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, unswervingly, strictly carry out the implementation plan, ensure that the reform measures come to the ground and prohibit “foreign waste”. “Entry. ????

Wood waste will be banned from the end of 2018

There are new changes in the list of prohibited solid wastes imported from China. Since the end of 2018, 32 solid wastes, including scrap hardware and wood waste, have been gradually adjusted to prohibit imports.
Liu Youbin, a spokesman for the Ministry of ecological environment, introduced at a press conference on the 19 day. The Ministry of ecology, the Ministry of Commerce, the national development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued a bulletin on the adjustment of the catalogue for the management of imported wastes, which will be used for waste hardware, waste ships, waste automobile press parts, smelting slag and industrial waste plastics. 16 kinds of solid waste are adjusted to prohibit import and be implemented since December 31, 2018; 16 solid wastes, such as stainless steel scrap, scrap of titanium, wood waste and so on, have been adjusted to prohibit import from the year of December 31, 2019.
Wood waste
(the picture comes from the network)
In July 2017, China issued a “plan for the implementation of the reform of the import and export management system for the entry of solid wastes into the entry of foreign refuse”, which clearly put forward a classification and readjustment of the import solid waste management catalogue, and gradually reduced the type and quantity of the import of solid waste.
At the end of 2017, he said that China has adjusted 4 kinds of solid waste, such as waste plastic, unsorted waste paper, waste textiles and vanadium residue, to be prohibited from import. This directory adjustment is another important reform measure to promote the reform of solid waste import management system.
Liu Youbin said that restricting and prohibiting the import of solid waste is a major measure to implement the new development concept, to improve the quality of the ecological environment, to ensure the national ecological security and the health of the people. The government work report has categorization of solid waste and refuse disposal, and strictly prohibit entry of foreign garbage as a priority work this year. Next, the Ministry of ecology and environment will work with relevant departments to ensure that all the reform measures are effective and strictly prohibit the entry of “foreign garbage”.

New advantages of traditional hardware industry

According to customs statistics, the total import and export volume of China’s hardware industry reached 128 billion 20 million US dollars in 2017. Among them, the total import and export of three traditional industries, such as building hardware, tool hardware and daily hardware, reached 42 billion 233 million dollars, 23 billion 190 million US dollars and 16 billion 444 million US dollars respectively. In the hardware eleven categories of commodities, they accounted for 64% of the total import and export of the hardware industry. Data show that the import and export growth of hardware three traditional industries also reached 11.25%, 10.73% and 3.50% respectively, showing a trend of “stabilization to better”. With the growth of the world economy and the improvement of the domestic economy, the traditional hardware industry will meet the opportunity of change. It is expected to achieve great leap forward in the aspects of structural optimization, technological innovation and quality improvement.

Both import and export data have been restored to positive growth

The data show that in 2017, the construction hardware industry completed the total export volume of 29 billion 974 million US dollars, up 11.49% and 23.9 percentage points from the same period last year, and completed the total import amount of 12 billion 259 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 10.65%. The tool hardware industry has completed the total export volume of 16 billion 219 million US dollars, up 14.26% from the previous year. The growth rate is compared to the previous year. In the same period, 15.15 percentage points increased, and the total amount of imports was 6 billion 971 million US dollars. The growth rate increased by 3.29% and 0.46 percentage points over the same period. The daily hardware industry has completed the total export volume of 15 billion 344 million US dollars, up 2.71% from the same period last year, and increased by 5.96 percentage points from the same period of last year. The total import amount is 1 billion 100 million US dollars, up 1 from the same year. 5.94%. The growth rate increased by 12.84 percentage points over the same period last year.

According to monthly data analysis, the import and export of the three traditional hardware industries showed a steady upward trend throughout the year, and the average level in the second half of the year was obviously higher than that in the first half year. From the way of trade, the proportion of the general trade mode of the building hardware industry and the tool hardware industry is increasing, and the growth rate is over 10%. This will help the enterprises to increase the value-added of the export, improve the profit of the enterprises, and further optimize the trade structure of the industry; the speed of the daily hardware industry is the lowest in the eleven major commodities of the hardware. It’s only 2.47%.

From the trade object, the object of trade is more diversified, in the consolidation of the United States and the European Union, Japan and other traditional markets at the same time, exports to Brazil, India, Russia, South Africa and other “BRIC countries” and “The Belt and Road” many countries along to achieve rapid growth.

It is worth noting that, from the import and export price comparison, the average import price of most of the products is higher than the export average, except for the drilling tools (with cermets) for the hardware of the daily hardware. Among them, the average price of the imported lighter, diamond drilling tools, barber equipment, sawing parts, drilling tools, flashlights and other lighting appliances is more than 10 times the average export price. Improving the added value of products as soon as possible is still the direction of the industry’s overall efforts.

Traditional industries still face challenges

Although the three major traditional hardware industries have made more satisfactory answers in trade in 2017, the challenges facing the industry still remain, and we need to accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading and structural adjustment in the face of a fierce market competition.

First of all, with the disappearance of demographic dividend, the low cost competitive advantage of enterprises is gradually disappearing. Second, trade friction has become the norm and trade frictions are diversified because of over reliance on exports. Third, the appreciation of the renminbi in major trading countries also has an impact on import and export trade.

Despite the challenges, the traditional hardware industry has been promoted in a full range of cruel competition for many years, and the overall compression ability of the industry is more powerful than that in the past. Under the guidance of national policies, it is expected to break through the bottleneck and enter a new realm of development.

The policy leads the traditional industry to take off

With the introduction of several opinions of the general office of the State Council on creating a good market environment for the special action of “three products” in the consumer goods industry, the hardware industry has carried out a series of achievements in improving quality, brand and efficiency. The World Bank expects global economic growth to rise to 2.9% from 2.7% in 2017, with the international monetary fund raising its global economic growth expectations by 0.1 percentage points to 3.7%, with the International Monetary Fund up to 0.1 percentage points up to 3.7%. The traditional hardware industry will usher in a new round of high quality growth this year, and will lay a more solid foundation for future development.
