According to customs statistics, in the first quarter, Ningbo Port exported 360 million sets of bearings , 16.1% more than the same period of last year, worth 150 million US dollars, an increase of 35.9%.
1 quarter, Ningbo port bearing export volume and price go, first, because the global economic recovery, increased demand for bearing parts of the industrial base; the second is due to global inflation background, bearing the basic raw material of steel, plastic and other price increases, driven bearing Price increase.
However, we should still see that the foundation for the recovery of the bearing industry is still not solid. Bearing industry needs to achieve industrial upgrading, increase market share and upgrade the overall level of development. It also faces many challenges:
First, the products are mainly low-end products with low technical content.
Lack of independent brands, low product added value. At present, domestic bearing companies are in the capacity expansion phase as a whole and lack the products and brand effects of independent intellectual property rights. The phenomenon of “two weak and two weak†in the whole industry is prominent, that is, basic theoretical research is weak, participation in international standard formulation is weak, original technology is less, and less patented products are used. The design and manufacturing technology basically rely on imitation. Creating a brand and maintaining the brand has become a major problem for bearing companies. At the same time, because the brand value is difficult to form, the added value of export products is difficult to increase.
Second, the type of export products is single and mainly depends on price advantage.
China's export bearing products are mainly low-grade miniature ball bearings, and the international market capacity has a certain limit. China's enterprise products are facing competition from Russia, Romania and other countries. Due to the low value-added products, competition in the face of competition can only rely on price advantages for low-price competition. According to customs statistics, in the first quarter of Ningbo, the average export price of bearing bearings at the port was only 35% of the average price of imported bearings. Such low-priced sales had to attract foreign anti-dumping barriers several times.
Third, the development of manufacturing technology and process equipment technology is slow, the CNC processing rate of lathe processing is low, and the automation level of grinding processing is low.
At present, most of the bearing enterprises in China, especially the old state-owned enterprises, still have traditional equipment as their main production force. Advanced heat treatment processes and equipment that are critical to bearing life and reliability, such as controlled atmosphere protection heating, double refinement, Bayes Quenching and other low coverage, many technical problems failed to make breakthroughs. The research and development of new steel grades for bearing steels, the improvement of steel quality, and the development of related technologies such as lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and abrasives, etc., have not yet been able to meet the requirements of bearing product level and quality improvement. As a result, the process capability index is low, the consistency is poor, the product processing size dispersion is large, and the internal quality of the product is unstable, which affects the accuracy, performance, life, and reliability of the bearing.
Suggestions for this: First, we must continue to advance the adjustment of the industrial organization structure, focus on increasing the export share of high-value-added products through the promotion of core advantages such as technology and brand, and improve the competitiveness of the industry and international competition through mergers and acquisitions, asset restructuring, and other forms. Force, firmly opposed to competition among enterprises.
The second is to vigorously promote brand strategy.
To improve the competitiveness of China's bearing products as soon as possible, leap-forward development should be implemented, and technological expansion and product expansion should be highlighted in the near future.
The third is to adjust and improve the customer structure and expand the export markets of developing countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The level of product technology and quality of bearings in China is very suitable for developing countries and emerging industrial countries. The next few years will be a crucial period for the gradual transition from developing countries to industrialization. Their demand for bearings will increase exponentially. Therefore, it is recommended that the number of bearings in the region be expanded. Bearing outlet.
The main features are:
First, the average export price rose. In the first quarter, the average export price of Ningbo port bearings was US$0.42 per set, up 17.1%.
Second, general trade exports account for an absolute majority, and processing trade exports have doubled. In the first quarter of the year, Ningbo Port’s general export trade accounted for 99.1% of total exports. During the same period, the export volume of Ningbo Port's export processing under the processing trade was 3.096 million sets, an increase of 6.2 times, accounting for 0.9% of the total export volume.
Third, private enterprises, foreign-invested enterprises and state-owned enterprises accounted for more than 90% of total exports. In the first quarter, private enterprises exported 150 million sets of bearings, an increase of 28.6%. Foreign-invested enterprises exported 93.88 million sets of bearings, a decrease of 3.5%. State-owned enterprises exported 92.92 million sets of bearings, an increase of 25.2%. The three together accounted for 93.6% of total exports.
Fourth, India, the European Union, ASEAN and UAE are the major export markets. In the first quarter, Ningbo Port exported 76.36 million sets, 67.1 million sets, 39.73 million sets, and 38.83 million sets to India, the European Union, the ASEAN, and the UAE, respectively, an increase of 10.6%, 19.9%, 41%, and 43.1%, respectively. The amount of 61.7%.
