The growth rate of demand for fasteners in my country is 5%-10%. In 2008, the demand for fasteners was 3.13 million tons, an increase of 9.5% year-on-year. Among them, the automobile industry is the largest user, followed by the maintenance industry market and construction industry, and then electronics industry. Recently, in order to stimulate domestic demand, the state has issued a number of policies to support the manufacturing industry. In the government's 4 trillion yuan investment plan, the focus is on the construction of railways, highways, airports, power grids, and affordable housing infrastructure. The most direct beneficiaries are equipment. Manufacturing industry, which will greatly stimulate the demand for fasteners. In particular, the demand for high-strength fasteners with a specification of 1630mm ≥ 10.9 will increase sharply. In addition, the development of the aviation industry has also played a strong supporting role in the demand for fasteners. For example, Boeing plans to add 3,400 new aircraft in the next 20 years. This data will bring new development and demand opportunities for the fastener industry.

In the face of the severe international situation, the country has adopted proactive financial measures to increase investment and stimulate domestic demand. The investment of 4 trillion yuan will promote the development of our society and economy, especially the large investment in railway and infrastructure construction, which will bring steel, infrastructure, The development of machinery and other related industries made up for the decline in export share. In the investment of 4 trillion yuan, fasteners will also occupy a certain market share. The fastener industry will speed up integration, improve the comprehensive capabilities of enterprises, improve product grades, provide high-quality products when stimulating domestic demand, and make up for or recover part of the loss of unsalable products caused by EU anti-dumping.

Fastener industry malls have weakened the advantages of exchanging market with speed and exchanging capital with cost. In the past development process, they mainly had cost advantages but lacked core competitiveness advantages. It is a low-cost, low-tech extensional expansion model; Only the ability to create price differences, but lack the ability to create product differences. This situation determines the manufacturing attribute of the fastener industry, rather than the creation attribute. Large but not strong production methods lacking core competitiveness In the increasingly fierce market competition and the situation of coping with economic development and transformation, many enterprises are struggling to survive. Fastener enterprises have entered a bottleneck period of development and are facing new challenges.

The world market is vast and diverse. The traditional advanced industrial countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan have experienced economic contraction due to the substandard goods crisis, and their potential for expansion is limited. While trying to maintain market share, we must also pay attention to emerging markets. The demand for fasteners is ubiquitous, ranging from airplanes and automobiles to furniture and electrical appliances. We need to segment the market and position it accurately. In Central and South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union, my country's export market share in these areas is very small. We can focus on it, expand the market, and widen the export road of fasteners. After hard work, it may appear that the west is not bright and the east is not bright. Bright situation.

The benign development of a fastener enterprise must establish the core competitiveness of the enterprise and cultivate the internal power of the industry. However, most fastener enterprises in my country currently have insufficient innovation capabilities, lack of advanced technologies that lack intellectual property rights, and lack of technical personnel in enterprises. , The production team is unstable, the front-line employees are not sufficiently trained and have high mobility, the company's daily production is struggling to cope with complicated low-end or lower-end products, passive production mode and unstable market environment. It is undeniable that the existence of endogenous defects such as lack of human resources, absence of core technologies and weak market expansion will definitely have a negative impact on the development of the industry.

Fastener enterprises want to improve their technical level, they must first start with equipment improvement and technology improvement, and produce high-end fasteners to replace imported products. I think that after the various technical performances reach the level of imported products, domestic enterprises will not go far away to import. This is a favorable trend for fastener enterprises in the current situation.

It is necessary to carefully study the items and categories of EU anti-dumping. Anti-dumping has been proposed for steel screws, bolts, and washers, but nuts, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metal products have not been involved. Our domestic enterprises can adjust their product structure to avoid anti-dumping Organize production of certain categories and increase exports.

In the "Equipment Manufacturing Adjustment and Revitalization Plan", for the first time, the country listed basic components including high-strength fasteners as an opportunity to improve the manufacturing level of one of the four major supporting products. Now my country's fastener industry is currently undergoing transformation , experiencing the key process from low-end products to high-end products, not only need to adhere to the road of independent innovation of resource-saving, environment-friendly, and circular economy, and constantly change the economic growth mode of the fastener industry, but also need to introduce Internationally advanced technology and equipment, adding various testing instruments, continuously improving the level of technology, technology and equipment, and continuously improving the scientific and technological content of labor-intensive products. Especially when the country is vigorously advocating energy conservation and emission reduction and developing a low-carbon economy, it is even more inseparable from the improvement of the quality and grade of fastener products as mechanical basic parts.
