Analysis of the Development Trend of China's Drainage Valves in 2011-2012

1 The overall market demand continues to maintain steady growth The manufacturing of water discharge valves belongs to the mechanical processing manufacturing industry, and its market development is mainly affected by the pull of the downstream application market. According to statistics from China General Machinery Industry Association, the total global demand for all types of valves, including industrial valves, is about 60 billion U.S. dollars, of which about 6 billion U.S. dollars for water supply and drainage valves. With the increasing demand of developing countries for control valves and environmental protection valves, the water supply and drainage valve industry is expected to maintain stable growth in the future.

Judging from the current domestic situation, infrastructure construction is the focus of China’s economic construction. The water supply and drainage project is large in size. Since the global economic crisis, the state has increased the investment in infrastructure construction, and the water treatment equipment manufacturing industry, including water supply and drainage valves, has become powerful. The water industry provides a huge space for the development of the water supply and drainage valve industry. 2 The large-caliber, ultra-large-diameter valve market has insufficient domestic production capacity and strong market demand. As the urbanization rate in China continues to increase and the urban population grows rapidly, the water supply of the water plant and the sewage treatment plant sewage treatment scale are gradually increasing, and the pipe network caliber is constantly increasing. Increase, so need a large variety of large diameter, large diameter water supply and drainage valve.

At the same time, various types of flood control, drainage, irrigation, water supply and drainage, hydroelectric power generation, water and soil conservation, water resources protection and other projects that have been incorporated into the management of water conservancy infrastructure are in great demand for all types of large-diameter, large-diameter water supply and drainage valves. The production capacity of large-diameter and large-diameter water supply and drainage valves in China cannot yet meet the growth in demand in the downstream market. In the next few years, China will continue to speed up the implementation of the new three projects of the Huaihe River and the comprehensive management of Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, and advance the major rivers and rivers such as the Ningxia and Mongolian reach of the Yellow River, river control in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and add the “South-to-North Water Transfer Project”. "The development of the Century Project will continue to stimulate the demand for various types of valve products, especially large-diameter gate valves, large-diameter turbine inlet butterfly valves, super-caliber turbine inlet ball valves, extra-caliber flow control valves, and extra-large vacuum valves. As the production of large-caliber and ultra-large-diameter valves requires far more technical and technological requirements than ordinary valves, the added value of their individual products is high, which puts forward higher requirements for product design and processing levels.

At present, there are not many companies that can meet the requirements of domestic technology and equipment, while most of the other companies in the industry are mainly producing general-caliber valves. From the perspective of the entire industry, the production capacity of large-diameter water supply and drainage valves will show a steady growth trend. According to the statistical data of the valve branch of China General Machinery Industry Association, the sales proportion of large-diameter and large-diameter valves in the water supply and drainage sector is between 50% and 60%, taking the median value of 55%, and the city scale from 2008 to 2010. They were 7.42 billion yuan, 8.24 billion yuan and 9.55 billion yuan respectively.

3 The rapid development of the wastewater treatment industry has accelerated the demand for environmental protection hydraulic equipment. Environmental protection hydraulic equipment includes gates, sliding doors, grille decontamination machines, scraper, sludge disposal equipment and solid waste treatment equipment, etc. Applied in the field of sewage treatment. Because environmental protection hydraulic equipment is a non-standard product, it needs to be designed and processed according to the user's needs. It does not possess the characteristics of standardization, serialization, and generalization. This requires the environmental protection hydraulic equipment supplier to have a profound understanding of the customer's needs, and to carry out the product quickly. Process design, efficient supply chain management, fine quality management, strict cost control, and overall quality. The formation of these capabilities needs to be gradually accumulated and promoted in the middle of the long-term business process. It is an important core competitiveness of environmental protection hydraulic equipment suppliers.

In the past two decades, the level of domestic environmental protection equipment for hydraulic equipment has been greatly improved. Through the accumulation of engineering practices and the continuous improvement of production enterprises, some environmental protection equipment manufacturing enterprises have become mass-produced, and their product levels have been continuously improved. Significantly improved, market areas continue to expand. Through the combination of scientific research and production, education and research, the overall level of environmental protection hydraulic equipment, including design, processing, manufacturing and testing, has been greatly improved. The technical level of the main products can basically meet the needs of the domestic sewage treatment industry.

At the same time, some environmentally-friendly hydraulic equipment manufacturers have adopted new materials to further improve the anti-corrosion performance of products, increase the reliability of equipment operation and improve the automation level of equipment. Although the development of China's environmental protection hydraulic equipment has made great progress, there is still a certain gap compared with the international advanced level, mainly reflected in: material consumption, heavy, poor corrosion resistance; low degree of automation; serialization, standardization At the same time, we must improve the appearance design and equipment surface treatment process.

At present, China's environmental protection governance and water industry are in the process of rapid development. Due to the demand for high-efficiency equipment, the development of domestic high-level environmental protection hydraulic equipment has become an urgent task. As the national policy gradually tilts toward energy conservation and environmental protection, the sewage treatment industry welcomes better development opportunities. The state has issued a series of related policies for the prevention and control of water pollution, which regulates the sewage treatment market and promotes the improvement of sewage treatment capacity and sewage treatment rate. It also promoted the increase of sewage treatment projects across the country and accelerated the demand for environmentally friendly hydraulic equipment. In 2009, the state promulgated a technical policy that standardized the technology of the sewage treatment industry. The improvement of technical requirements also put forward higher requirements for environmental protection hydraulic equipment and promoted the development of environmental protection hydraulic equipment manufacturing enterprises. From 2006 to 2009, the investment quota for China's sewage treatment industry has increased significantly, from 27.5 billion yuan to 68.2 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 35.4%.
