Through the investigation of industry enterprises, we learned that the current industry enterprises generally face the following problems:
First, operating costs are too high. For example, the price of raw materials has risen sharply, which has led to an increase in the procurement cost of enterprises, which has brought great pressure to the cost control of enterprises. In particular, the price of castings has risen from the original 6,000 yuan/ton to nearly 9,000 yuan/ton, an increase of nearly 50%; affected by copper prices, The price of electric motors has been increased by more than 30%, and the sales price has dropped significantly due to fierce market competition, resulting in meager product profits, especially in 2021. Machine tool manufacturing has a certain cycle. The skyrocketing price of raw materials makes it impossible for enterprises to absorb cost pressure. Under the multiple pressures of long payment cycle and high loan interest rate, enterprise operations are under great pressure. At the same time, machine tool equipment manufacturing industry is a heavy asset industry. Plants, equipment and other fixed facilities have a large investment demand, and the land area is large, which also increases the capital pressure and operating costs of enterprises to a certain extent; in addition, the delivery time of imported functional components is too long, and the price increase is high, and the same functions and Quality Made in China alternative.
The second is the lack of high-level talents. Enterprises have certain difficulties in the introduction of high-end talents and the construction of R&D teams. The age structure of the workforce is generally aging, and there is a lack of excellent high-level talents. The lack of talents indirectly leads to the slow progress of product development, and the difficulty of enterprise product transformation and upgrading. It is very difficult for enterprises to solve the talent problem by themselves. For example, taking the form of on-the-job training, school-enterprise cooperation, and directional training to speed up the introduction and training of talents will help improve the research and development capabilities of enterprises and the overall level of employees.
Third, the core technology needs to be broken through. Especially for high-end CNC machine, the research and development is difficult and the production conditions are demanding. Enterprises need to continue to increase investment in research and development. If more policy support and financial subsidies can be obtained, the core technology research and product transformation and upgrading will be included in the national manufacturing upgrade system. better development.
Fourth, the market needs to be further developed. The total market demand for existing products is small, resulting in a small overall scale of the enterprise. It is urgent to take advantage of the brand, increase publicity, speed up transformation and upgrading, and at the same time do a good job of diversified development, in order to rapidly increase the scale of the enterprise and ensure that the enterprise competes in the market invincible.
At present, the global epidemic has not been effectively controlled, the external environment of enterprises has become more complex and severe, and uncertainty has increased, making it difficult to accurately judge the market situation. However, with the continuous improvement of the technical level and quality of China’s CNC products, and the gradual maturity of product technical performance indicators, relying on its own advantages such as price, drilling machine products are still competitive in the international market, and it is expected that product exports in 2022 can maintain the current status. However, due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the export of some enterprises has dropped by about 35%, and the prospect is uncertain.
Taking into account various favorable and unfavorable factors, it is expected that the drilling and boring machine industry as a whole will continue the good operation trend in 2021 in 2022. Indicators may be flat or slightly volatile from 2021.
