How far is China's valve industry from the advanced world?

At present, China's valve market turnover is as high as 50 billion yuan each year, of which more than 100 billion yuan of the market has been occupied by foreign valve companies. According to China's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" development plan, China's valve industry, especially the valve companies that focus on the two major markets of water supply and construction, are still compared with international advanced companies in energy saving, environmental protection, safety and sustainable development strategies. gap.

It is understood that the main performance is: Chinese companies are small in scale, low in technology, and their brand competitiveness is still relatively weak. If these problems are not resolved in time, it will not only greatly affect the overall level of China's valve industry, but also restrict the healthy growth of China's valve industry. Integration and reorganization is the process that China's valve industry must go through. Only through large-scale, large-scale integration of high-quality assets, and the rapid establishment of a strong group, can the brand-name products become the dominant valve market in China, in order to ensure the Chinese users of the urgent needs of high-end products.

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the total demand for domestic valves is forecast to be 34.5 billion yuan. In addition, according to the needs of China's national economic development, the valve development focuses on the development of new valve-supporting valves for major projects such as thermal power, nuclear power, hydropower, large-scale petrochemicals, oil and gas gathering and transmission lines, coal liquefaction, and metallurgy. While developing the above new products, attention should be paid to the promotion and application of new process technologies, such as the development of vacuum electron beam welding technology and shear extrusion technology when developing high-temperature and high-voltage power stations and nuclear power station valves using forged welded structures; development of large-diameter pipelines The overall ball valve applies integrated welding technology.

Valves are indispensable fluid control equipment for various departments of the national economy such as petroleum, chemical industry, power stations, long-distance pipelines, shipbuilding, nuclear industry, various cryogenics, aerospace, and marine oil extraction.

After more than 20 years of development, there are about 6,000 valve companies of various sizes in China, and the number of companies ranks first in the world, of which 900 have an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan. From the product point of view, China's valve industry has now been able to produce more than 10 categories of products, such as ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, safety valves, check valves, solenoid valves, plunger valves, sewage valves, angle seat valves, Traps, emergency shut-off valves, etc.

The National Development and Reform Commission issued the No. 11 Announcement in 2008. 351 new industry standards were opened on July 1, 2008, of which 253 were for the machinery industry standard and 30 for the valve and valve industry. With the support of national policies, the valve industry will maintain a good momentum of development in 2008-2009. It is estimated that the total sales of China's valves in 2010 will be 6.736 billion yuan, the total value of valve exports will be 2.009 billion US dollars, and the total amount of valve imports will be 3.632 billion US dollars.
