The core technology field lags behind, and the rise of China's pump industry has a long way to go
After years of step-by-step development, China has formed a relatively perfect production system of original products and become an important production base of global pump products. However, behind the blooming of the pump industry, there are also problems that cannot be ignored. In particular, the lagging development of the core technology of the pump industry has become the primary factor restricting its long-term development.
The core technology field lags slightly behind the rise of China's pump industry has a long way to go
For a period of time, the development of China's pump industry by leaps and leaps, driven by the national manufacturing policy, through the introduction of absorption, renewal, digestion and innovation and other multiple means, whether it is the industrial scale or technical level has been greatly improved, especially the level of some major pump technical equipment supporting products has reached the international leading level.
It is understood that under the guidance of market demand, China has independent intellectual property rights of large-scale high-pressure pumps and other high-end pump products, has formed a very sufficient and considerable supporting capacity for electric power, metallurgy, petrochemical, environmental protection and other fields. And with the supply-side structural reform and the improvement of the overall technical level, the overall strength of China's pump industry has greatly shortened the gap with developed countries.
After entering the "13th Five-Year Plan", the landing speed of large-scale engineering facilities construction projects has accelerated, the energy conservation and emission reduction of key areas has become one of the focuses of work, the blue sky defense war, water pollution prevention and control, heavy metal treatment and other in-depth advance, in the process of pollution prevention and control, the importance of the pump industry is self-evident.
Data show that the market size of China's pump industry in 2017 is about 170 billion. Incomplete statistics show that the number of pump enterprises in the country is nearly 7,000, and there are more than 1,000 enterprises above scale. With the favorable fermentation of national and local policies, the future prospects of the industry can be described as considerable.
By leaps and bounds, attracting worldwide attention and achieving remarkable results... These praise words are suitable for our pump industry, but behind the flowers, there are also problems that can not be ignored.
First, the number of small and medium-sized enterprises is too large. In the process of rapid development of the pump industry, small and medium-sized pump enterprises and private pump enterprises have sprung up, and occupy a large proportion in the total number of pump enterprises. The lack of large enterprises, the brand and essence of small enterprises are not strong in it, which is not conducive to the overall development of the pump industry.
Second, market concentration is low. With the slowing market demand and sufficient supply, China's pump industry continues to mature, but hundreds of billions of market capacity has been ready for development. Compared with the huge market size, the market concentration is low, and the annual sales of the largest enterprise size is less than 10 billion or even less than 5 billion yuan. Therefore, market concentration is in urgent need of improvement.
Third, in accordance with the national "introduction, digestion, absorption, innovation" strategic guidelines, China's pump industry does benefit quite deeply, but in actual operation, more enterprises focus on the introduction, digestion and absorption of the part is not much, innovation is few, making the development of China's pump industry into a cycle, with independent intellectual property technology is not much, and less and less.
Overall, although most of the product types in China's pump industry have achieved independent production and manufacturing, the product types of independent intellectual property rights are less, and the core technology is more in the hands of developed countries, so that China's pump enterprises are in the low-end position. And due to the shortcomings of basic technology research, the development of basic machinery and basic components in China's pump industry lags behind, becoming a major obstacle to the development of the industry, but also facing the risk of eliminating backward production capacity, so the rise of the pump industry "the road is long."
