"Internet + wire and cable" opens up a new pattern of e-commerce

According to statistics, the total output value of China's wire and cable has surpassed that of the United States, making it the world's largest wire and cable producer. Along with the rapid development of China's wire and cable industry, the number of new enterprises has been rising, and the overall technical level of the industry has been greatly improved. Although the wire and cable industry belongs to the basic industry, it currently occupies one quarter of the output value of China's electrical industry, and is called the "artery" and "nerve" of the national economy.

However, in the eyes of the industry, under the aura of “world first” above the head, the domestic wire and cable industry has multiple problems such as a large number of enterprises, fierce competition, low industrial concentration and insufficient independent innovation capability. To this end, domestic wire and cable companies have begun to transform their layout, seek new opportunities, or cross-border into new energy and other fields, or be merged and reorganized, or cater to the "Internet +" development tide, in order to find a piece of wire The new blue ocean of the cable industry.

Excessive competition leads to overcapacity

It is reported that as the second largest industry in the machinery industry, second only to automobiles, China's wire and cable industry product variety satisfaction rate and domestic market share are more than 90%. However, on the whole, compared with countries such as Europe, America and Japan, China's wire and cable industry is still on the road of extensive development, and the problem of “big but not strong” is highlighted, especially in the fields of brand management and new technology research and development, application and so on. Room for improvement.

According to relevant data, as of May 2014, there are about 5,000 enterprises above designated size in China's wire and cable industry, of which 3,775 are in the wire and cable industry with a median output value of over 5 million yuan. The largest enterprise has a market share of only 1 From % to 2%, the top ten cable manufacturers account for 13% of the market share, and the industry concentration is low. In addition, the research and investment in the wire and cable industry is insufficient, the lack of high-quality talents, and insufficient capacity for independent innovation. At present, more than 90% of the wire and cable industry's production capacity is concentrated on low-end products, and the average investment in research and development is less than 1% of sales. High-end products such as aerospace are mainly imported.

Some insiders said that the domestic wire and cable industry has a large number of enterprises, fierce competition, low industrial concentration and insufficient independent innovation capability, which has directly led to serious overcapacity. The overall growth rate of the wire and cable industry will further slow down, and with the problems of “difficulty in financing” and “difficulty in returning payments”, the original fierce competition in the industry will further intensify. In addition to a small number of large enterprises, they generally face the embarrassing situation of under-employment. The operating rate of general enterprises is only 30%-40%. Many small and medium-sized enterprises even directly appear to be in production, stop production, and close down.

Core materials become the key to success

"At present, there are thousands of cable manufacturers in China, but there are no manufacturers capable of producing core materials, which leads to the import and can only greatly limit the technological progress of China's wire and cable industry. The core materials have become a breakthrough in China's wire and cable industry. The key to development is followed by the level of production processes and manufacturing.

To this end, some domestic wire and cable manufacturers have taken active action. It is understood that with the continuous expansion of China's foreign technical cooperation and exchanges in recent years, the economic and scientific and technological cooperation with some developed countries has gradually deepened, and cooperated with the national key scientific research institutes of the Commonwealth of Independent States to introduce the cutting-edge Scientific research technology is especially valued by Chinese enterprises and scientific research institutions.

Analysts believe that the research and innovation of new materials is related to the most fundamental renewal of products. At present, China's existing polymer material preparation technology has seriously restricted the development of national economy and national defense construction. Especially in the field of high-speed trains, transportation vehicles, ships and other high-end equipment manufacturing, which are closely related to national economy and safety, in recent years, China has high-strength and impact-resistant high-performance engineering plastics and other materials under extreme conditions. Unable to meet the development needs, and due to the technical blockade of foreign related production enterprises to China, these rely entirely on foreign imports. Therefore, it is imperative to improve the technical indicators such as low temperature toughness and tensile strength of engineering plastic materials such as nylon in China.
