Information

   A few days ago, the European Union announced the preliminary results of its anti-dumping investigation on ceramics in China, imposing temporary punitive tariffs of up to 73% on more than 90% of China’s ceramic export companies. Due to the large number of companies involved and the huge amount of money, the case was called the EU" ;History of Z University's anti-dumping investigation against China. In this EU’s official notification, the author saw that none of the Chinese companies have obtained market economy status. Except for three ceramic companies, the tax rate of the cooperative but not selected companies is 32.3%, and other ceramic companies are common across the country. The tax rate is 73%. The industry uses the "9th magnitude earthquake" to describe the impact of this anti-dumping investigation on my country’s ceramic industry. If a 73% tariff is imposed on ceramic companies, it is expected that the total ceramic tile exports to the EU will drop by 70% within six months. %, more than 80% of directly affected enterprises, of which 15% of ceramic enterprises will face closure.

   The relevant EU documents show that the temporary anti-dumping tariffs will be implemented for half a year, and the final decision will be made on September 17 whether to impose a five-year formal anti-dumping duty. Although nominally there is still half a year left for Chinese companies to protest, in reality there is little hope. According to rumours, the "surrogate country" of the EU's anti-dumping investigation is the United States. The US's production cost is compared with China's. The final result of the ruling can be imagined. "Even if the door to the EU market is not completely closed, there will only be a crack in the door. "Therefore, many ceramic companies have not had much hope for the EU market, and those ceramic companies that rely too much on the European and American markets will also face a life-or-death decision.

   In fact, it is not just Europe and the United States, from developed countries such as the United States to developing countries such as Brazil and Argentina, and from ceramics, leather shoes to new energy industries. The road to "going to sea" made in China is full of thorns. This has also exacerbated the external worries of the ceramic industry, which has long been plagued by internal troubles.

  No power cuts discussed

  Since last September, as the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" approach to energy conservation and emission reduction is approaching, the "Energy Conservation Examination" will soon be handed in. In order to hand over a beautiful answer sheet, the governments of various places did not hesitate to show off their wrists, and directly interpreted energy saving as a “switching blackout” under the name of “power saving”. The ceramic industry has just eased a little from the financial crisis, housing market austerity policies, and migrant labor shortages, and is preparing to go all out to sprint the current gold, nine and silver ten, into trouble once again. Most companies are facing the situation of stopping three to four (that is, three days of electricity per star), or even stopping four to three. This is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the ceramic companies that have just recovered from the global financial crisis in 2008 and the abrasive companies that serve them.

   It is reported that the power supply of ceramic production areas in various regions has dropped by 30% to 70%. For example, the Enping area will supply grid power according to 75% of the actual load for production; the four meetings will only provide 25% of the total power consumption of the enterprise; high To retain only 22.5% of the power supply. Not only is the Foshan area restricted, but ceramic industrial bases such as Jiangxi and Zibo are also facing the same dilemma.

   The severe shortage of power supply has almost paralyzed most of the ceramic production lines, and companies have complained. The boss of Tao Qi complained and was anxious, and they came to petition the government for electricity, but the government's attitude was extremely firm in the face of hard targets for energy conservation and emission reduction. It is said that the boss of a large ceramic company in Sanshui, Foshan, personally sat in a government office building to ensure electricity consumption. As a result, the factory was shut down. This shows the government's determination to "energy-saving". In the past, there was a buffer period for excess "warning" in the power limit. This time, once the limit is exceeded, there is no need to notify, and it will be activated immediately —— the power limit has entered the "zero tolerance" state.

   Although the Eleventh Five-Year Plan is in the past, the energy-saving and emission reduction policies in the 12th Five-Year Plan did not relax at all. Friends in the ceramics industry told the author: Due to the characteristics of ceramic equipment, if two or more ball mills are started at the same time, instantaneous current It will be very large, and after starting, it will fall back to the normal value. However, the electric power department ignored your explanation, and one of them was overloaded, and immediately the whole plant was opened, which made people cry without tears.

  Complicated 2011 ceramic market

  "From January to October, the output of daily-use ceramics by domestic ceramic enterprises above designated size was 20.398 billion pieces, an increase of 35.91% year-on-year. The output of building ceramics and wall tiles was 6.410 billion square meters, and that of sanitary ceramics enterprises above designated size was 148.0 million pieces. Compared with last year, there has been a substantial increase. From January to October, daily-use ceramics (including exports of art porcelain) increased by 30.50% year-on-year, with exports of 236.8 billion U.S. dollars, building ceramics increased by 21.38% year-on-year, and exports of 3.52 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 34.39%. It has declined for many years, but it reversed in 2010, and the performance has been stable throughout the year. my country imports a small amount of ceramics, mainly high-end products. Daily ceramic imports are 0.09 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 58.6%, the total import volume is 159 million yuan, and the import volume of wall and floor tiles is 3.188 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 48.66%. "In December 2010, He Tianxiong, chairman of the China Ceramic Industry Association, gave data in the 2010 China Ceramic Industry Economic Situation Report, indicating that the ceramic industry's performance last year was very optimistic.

   However, in 2011, faced with new shocks and more severe pressures: the country’s macro-control on energy conservation and emission reduction, the "migrant labor shortage" has further deteriorated, the introduction of the New Country Eight, the impact of the EU’s anti-dumping case against China and other unfavorable factors , The entire ceramic industry is facing a new turning point. If 2008 is the most difficult year for the ceramic industry, 2011 may be the most complicated year for the ceramic industry.

   Regarding the trend of domestic ceramic companies under high tariffs, many ceramic companies said: EU anti-dumping investigations on Chinese ceramic companies will cause many foreign trade companies to be blocked in foreign markets, and they are bound to increase their efforts to develop domestic markets. , The competition in the domestic market may become more intense in the future. Coupled with the regulation of real estate, the life of the domestic construction ceramic tile industry will be difficult. According to authoritative data in the ceramic industry, there will be at least 2 billion square meters in excess of building tiles this year.

   was "anti-dumping", power cuts, labor cost pressures…… means that the long-term low-cost competition expansion strategy of the ceramic industry is unsustainable. If this is used as a reversing mechanism to accelerate the development of low-carbon and High value-added products will realize the effective transformation of the entire industry as soon as possible, and will also play a certain buffering effect on the current market pattern of oversupply. In the long run, it is not a bad thing for China's ceramic industry, but the key is how to get past this Kaner. This is also a question that enterprises in the abrasives industry, which are quite similar to the ceramic industry, should think about.

The application prospect of    abrasives in the ceramic industry is not optimistic

   also wears the "two highs and one capital" hat, also with low cost as the main advantage, also requires a lot of cheap labor, and also faces the pressure of rising raw material and labor costs, environmental protection policies, etc.…&hellip ; There are too many similarities between the abrasives industry and the ceramics industry. Therefore, abrasives companies can also see their own quotations from the ceramics industry. Moreover, as the downstream market for abrasives, the dilemma faced by the ceramic industry directly affects the grinding companies that use this as a market.

  After the ceramics abrasives industry experienced ceramic anti-dumping, some ceramic factories have closed down, and the export market will shrink on a large scale. Of course, some will move to the domestic market, but the domestic market has oversupply and competition is more intense and cruel. At that time, there will be a group of companies lacking technology, low added value, small scale and poor efficiency that will be eliminated by the market, and abrasives companies serving the ceramic industry will face unprecedented challenges.

   It is understood that the amount of abrasives and abrasives accounts for about 5%-10% of the total cost of finished ceramic products (the proportion of ceramic products with low added value will increase, and vice versa), such as hobs, trimming wheels, Grinding companies for products such as tangent knives, metal grinding blocks and silicon carbide ordinary grinding blocks will all be affected. At present, many companies in Foshan that only produce diamond products for the ceramic industry have already felt the chill of the market. Some companies said that because many companies in the ceramic industry have closed down, their market share has directly shrunk.

   Of course, although the ceramic market is not optimistic and clear, we don’t have to be too pessimistic. These are challenges and opportunities. In the face of various crises, the upgrading and transformation of China's ceramic abrasives industry is imperative. First of all, abrasives have a wide range of uses and fields, and the products can be diversified and high-end development. Attach importance to technological innovation and accumulation, grasp the initiative in product development, and improve its own technical level, technological research and development capabilities and brand awareness. Secondly, there needs to be more exchanges and cooperation within the industry and between enterprises to learn from each other. Establishing effective industry standards and supervisory agencies will allow the industry to have a healthy and benign development space, while also being able to better adapt to future unpredictable market demands and environments.

  Looking forward to the future, as the "world factory" in China, the rapid development of industry is inevitable, and the development of industry must inevitably require the abrasives industry called "industrial teeth", although it leads to a better The road and the process are very tortuous, but the road is under our feet. How we go and how far we can go is all up to us. Survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest. Only those who are good at discovering and seizing opportunities can keep enterprises in an invincible position in the industry!
