Market challenges faced by China's corrosion-resistant pump industry

According to incomplete statistics, there are 628 pump production plants that have begun to take shape across the country. With the addition of private and other small-scale manufacturing plants, the number of pump manufacturers in the country has reached more than 3,500. In China's pump industry, 85% of manufacturers do not meet the requirements of economies of scale. They only stay at the low level of single-unit, small-batch, and shoddy work. The market competition in the future will inevitably be a group, large-scale and high-tech competition. The color TV and air-conditioning markets in the consumer goods industry are excellent examples. According to statistics of the General Administration of Customs, China's pump imports amount to about 16% of the total market demand, of which 85% are corrosion-resistant pumps. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the market capacity of China's chemical corrosion-resistant pumps is about 4.5 billion yuan. ? ? Lemon tease? 0%; The total demand of anti-corrosion pump is about 300,000 units, accounting for about 7% of the total market. At present, about 65% of China's production and operation of corrosion-resistant pumps are concentrated in 160 member companies of China Tongtong Pumping Association. However, they cannot meet the requirements of economies of scale. Among them, the more powerful manufacturers are only Dalian Acid-resistant Pump Factory and Shijiazhuang. Water Pump Factory, Shenyang Pump Factory, Shanghai KSB Pump Company, Chongqing Pump Factory, Tianjin Industrial Pump Factory, Hangzhou Alkali Pump Factory, Hubei Wuwu Army Factory, Jingjiang Pump and Valve Plant, and Asia Pacific Group are among the few. Companies.

As far as corrosion-resistant pump manufacturers are concerned, only Shijiazhuang Pump Plant, Dalian Acid-resistant Pump Plant, Chongqing Pump Plant, Hangzhou Alkali Pump Plant, Hubei Wuwu Plant, Shenyang Pump Plant, etc. have a specific level and batch size, and other manufacturers basically Without special expertise, it still remains at the level of sporadic production in emergency markets. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the basic conditions of domestic chemical pump manufacturers in order to find a feasible way to develop anti-corrosion pumps on a large scale.

China's corrosion-resistant pump market demand is mainly distributed in the energy system, the three major chemical industry, the petroleum industry and the mining industry. In the 1960s, China jointly designed F-type corrosion-resistant pumps and Y-type oil pumps. Since the 1980s, major domestic production plants, mainly sink pumps, large-resistant, and upper-pumped pumps, have begun to introduce advanced foreign technologies. After digestion and absorption, products have been put on the market one after another. All of these joint ventures and cooperation in technology and technology introduction, with the exception of Dali, Stone Pump and Shanghai KSB, the rest basically did not form a strong market influence. In the chemical corrosion resistant pump user group, everyone exchanges information and is increasingly looking for brand and specific advantages. For example, in the phosphorous ammonia project, everyone prefers to use resistance; corrosion resistance naturally recalls Hubei Wuwu; Sugar paper chlor-alkali industry, people believe that Hangzhou alkaline pump plant; if you need to use impurities slurry pump, of course, the first Shijiazhuang; if the extraction of hydrofluoric acid acetic acid, must use plastic pumps or ceramic pumps; high viscosity thick paste medium, customers find Tianjin Industrial Pumps. In this way, higher requirements are put forward on the anti-corrosion and abrasion resistance of chemical pumps, resistance to high and low temperature performance, sealing performance, operational reliability, long-term stable interchangeability of accessories, and domestic anti-corrosion pumps. There are still considerable gaps in foreign advanced technologies, and there is still a certain distance from domestic users.

Looking at the national anti-corrosion pump market, in recent years, as imported pumps have increased year by year, production growth has declined, the overall operation has been extremely unbalanced, and profitability has decreased, losses have increased, and overall economic efficiency has been low. In particular, since the implementation of the market economy, township and township enterprises and individual enterprises have developed rapidly. Even many small plants that do not have the ability to produce chemical pumps have blindly smashed anti-corrosion pumps, causing serious oversupply of low-level chemical pumps, reducing prices and competing with each other. The cost of product sales has increased year by year, increasing product costs, reducing corporate profits, and causing serious economic losses.

Some companies adopt shareholding systems, set up group companies, increase the scale of mergers and acquisitions of joint ventures, and increase the number of personnel, which leads to high investment in assets and labor. At the same time, they have precisely ignored technological progress!

China's chemical pump-specific manufacturing enterprises have not yet formed a real brand advantage, do not have strong market influence, and cannot withstand the market's wind and rain. The current market competition is actually the competition of brand, quality, price, service and reputation. Cooperate with international famous brand pump companies, introduce their advanced technologies and management models, combine China's reality, quickly adjust product structure, develop strong practicality, high technical content, good anti-corrosion and wear-resisting performance, and reliable operation and sealing performance. High-efficiency anti-corrosion chemical pumps, mass production of economies of scale, and the use of modern marketing strategies are critical to the steady development of the domestic market, and we are also developing an extremely viable development path for chemical pumps.
