Battery Industry: internal and external need charging
Accelerate technological upgrading and product upgrades, is held in Beijing before the Ninth China International Battery Fair's most powerful voice. Experts said that China still need to improve product quality, some batteries, the battery needed upgrading industrial technology, electric vehicle batteries, zinc-manganese batteries urgent adjustment of product structure.
Experts also said that China's battery are highly dependent on international markets, especially in solar cells, more than 95% of exports, 90% of the raw materials imported, this "two out" of the market risk is too high, also caused Industry profit-shifting. Relatively backward industrial base of raw materials, key materials still rely on imports, China's high energy consumption, high pollution, low return for economic benefits. Such as solar cell manufacturers, the average profit margin is only about 8%, if the net export tax rebates, enterprise basic unprofitable.
Battery Industry is a comprehensive advantages of the traditional industries, but with new materials, new techniques, new technology, the battery industry is increasingly becoming a new high-tech industries. According to reports, in recent years, China's battery industry showed the following characteristics: production increased steadily, rapid export growth, technological progress accelerated, more reasonable product structure, diversified enterprises, large-scale development, and equipment levels gradually increased, overall strength significantly enhanced. Battery industry has led to the development of China's electronic appliances, metals, chemicals, mining, machinery and other related industries in the national economy played an important role.
The survey showed that nearly 5 years, average growth rate of China's battery sales of over 20% per year, output growth rate of 10%, far exceeding the global average. In the past, the tradition of batteries for low-end products; now mercury-free alkaline manganese battery, a lithium battery, maintenance free valve regulated lead-acid batteries, solar cells Dengjun rapid development. As the world's industrial restructuring in recent years, China has gradually developed into the world battery production, processing and trade center, is the world's largest battery producer.
However, the impact of the international financial crisis, since the second half of 2008, China's battery industry growth rate of exports has continued to decline, battery sales increase in accounts receivable, economic decline. With mobile phones, cars, electric bicycles, and other battery related products production and sales of contraction, the battery output growth rate to fall. Some staff members to participate in the exhibition reflect the enterprise, companies are now facing difficulties mainly due to cost increases battery market is less competitive, corporate profits dropped significantly.
According to the China Light Industry Information Center, the persons concerned, in the first quarter, China's battery industry as a whole run showed the following characteristics: Although the rebound in output, total output value of large-scale battery manufacturers 9.87% over last year, but the international market slump in the first quarter Battery exports fell last year compared to 31.86% over the same period. Affected by the toy exports, a quarter of button alkaline manganese batteries exports continued to decline, cylindrical alkaline battery exports dropped slightly, other alkaline manganese batteries to accelerate export decline. At the same time, business costs rise, profits fall. 1 to 2 months of this year, the battery industry over the scale of total corporate profits fell 68.78%, the battery industry, above-scale enterprises of up to 31.19% loss, the loss amounted to 785 million yuan over last year, up 215.78 percent loss. Loss and further expand the industry, business difficulties. Effect of export tax rebate policy adjustment in China is not yet clear, but the foreign green barriers on China's battery industry continues. According to the European Union, "Official Gazette" batteries and accumulators directive issued for the battery lead, cadmium, and mercury targets made more stringent requirements, and the recovery of the exorbitant costs involved. REACH regulations and directives to improve the battery RoSH registration fees and testing fees, substantially increased the cost of battery production and export sales costs, some enterprises have to because of economic reasons and technical reasons to give up the overseas market.
At present, China's battery industry is facing the full industrial upgrading. Wang Jing Zhong of China Battery Industry Association, said the Secretary-General, recently passed the "light industry restructuring and revitalization plan" will help the battery industry restructuring and industrial upgrading. The battery industry to take this opportunity to fight in the technology and equipment to make significant progress, and form a group with strong international competitiveness of enterprises, so that further domestic product and market development, significantly raise the added value of export products, market more diversified. While promoting electric vehicles, power tools battery with a new industrial scale, making China the world's largest producer of rechargeable batteries, solar cells Baochi world leader in the production and accelerate development, and gradually ease the market shortage, increased battery export variety, improve product quality and added value. "Enhancing strength is the key." Wang Jing Zhong said.
According to reports, the next few years, China's battery industry will accelerate the technological upgrading and product upgrades, anti-risk ability to effectively improve industry and international competitiveness, improve the capacity of independent innovation and brand building, innovation in the industry to establish a sound support system, and further implementation of the technology and equipment domestic, market diversification and accelerate the world's manufacturing power by the battery industry to manufacture the world's power forward. Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the experts, the establishment of National Research Center for the battery industry, industry consolidation to improve capacity for independent innovation, promote technological progress, we should focus on breakthroughs in battery electric vehicles, car key battery materials, key technologies and research and industrialization. China's huge market for electric bicycles to lithium-ion battery industry has brought opportunity. "The battery is the most critical components of electric vehicles is the result of pooling multi-disciplinary research, enterprises need the government to focus on the choice of quality support." At the show, many companies made such a call.
