Explain three factors that affect the development of plastic pipe enterprises

At present, the number of plastic pipe production and management enterprises is large, mostly based on small and medium-sized enterprises. The competitiveness of enterprises is weak, the scale economy is poor, and the brand awareness of the plastic pipe industry is indifferent, the market order is disordered, the structure is irrational, and the technical barriers are low. Ordinary pipe production capacity is excessive, and high-tech urban gas, water supply, drainage and sewage PE pressure pipes and large-diameter plastic pipes can not fully meet the market demand, especially for pipe fittings with high technical content and complicated production process, such as electrofusion. Pipe fittings and PE ball valves can produce fewer manufacturers, and manufacturers that can provide a full range of products are even rare. Some pipe fittings still need to be imported. In addition, the production of qualified super-large-diameter plastic pipes required for national-level large-scale transportation and energy engineering projects is even blank. Let us look at the factors affecting the development of plastic pipe companies:

1. The main raw materials depend on imports, and the price fluctuates greatly.

The research and development of domestic plastic pipe raw materials lags behind the development of plastic pipe industry. Compared with foreign countries, the main performances are: the number of special resin is small, the supply of raw materials is insufficient; the quality of products is unstable; the product specifications are not matched; the development of various high-performance varieties is not enough. At present, there are only a few resin production plants producing special materials for pipes. The annual import of pipe materials is equivalent to domestic production. As a result, PE, PEX and other raw materials are basically dependent on imports. The supply and demand of PE special materials are unbalanced, and the gap in pvc market is large. In order to fundamentally reverse the imbalance between supply and demand of special resin production of pipes, China put forward in the “10th Five-Year Plan” and the 2015 long-term plan: to develop special varieties according to the demand for processing performance of plastic products in China, and to base on domestic production and accelerate the production system to special resins. Development to ensure the processing performance and quality of the products. In addition, the raw material used for plastic pipes is polyethylene, which belongs to the downstream products of the petrochemical industry, and its price is greatly affected by the price fluctuation of the international crude oil market. Since 2003, the international crude oil market price has shown an upward trend, which has led to an increase in the price of polyethylene and an increase in the production cost of plastic pipe enterprises, which is not conducive to the stable development of plastic pipe production enterprises.

2. China's plastic pipe enterprises are small in scale, the funds are not strong enough, and the technical level is relatively backward.

Although the number of plastic pipe production enterprises in China is large, the annual production capacity of most enterprises is below 5,000 tons, while the annual production capacity of foreign plastic pipe production enterprises is more than 20,000 tons, and the production ratio of pipe and pipe fittings is unreasonable. At present, the production capacity of pipe and pipe fittings is about 15:1, which is far from the normal application ratio of 8:1, and the variety of pipe fittings is also small. In addition, since plastic pipes are mainly used in infrastructure construction such as communication, construction, gas supply, water supply, and drainage, the long implementation period of the project leads to a long settlement time of goods, which occupies a large amount of liquidity, and requires strong capital of production enterprises. The technical level of China's plastic pipe industry is weak compared with developed countries, and there is still a gap between scientific research strength, funding input and demand. Especially in the aspects of plastic pipe processing equipment, mold quality, automation, and ensuring continuity of production, product quality, and extrusion volume, there is still a big gap compared with developed countries, and the international market is not competitive.

3. Plastic pipe companies face more intense competition

Compared with international large-scale plastic pipe production enterprises, domestic enterprises are obviously at a disadvantage in terms of capital, technology, management and scale. Foreign large-scale plastic pipe production enterprises may adopt joint venture, sole proprietorship and cooperation to invest and build factories in China. The market competition will be More intense. Domestic enterprises must seize the favorable opportunity of China's market development, actively expand production scale, reduce production costs, achieve economies of scale, improve technology, increase product categories, improve product mix, meet market diversified needs, and enhance risk resistance and market. Competitive ability. In addition, the transportation cost of plastic pipes is relatively high, and often a certain sales radius is formed due to the transportation distance, which hinders the development of plastic pipe enterprises to some extent.

It can be seen from the above three points that plastic pipe production enterprises must pay attention to the production, research and development of raw materials, standardize industrial positioning, improve quality management measures, standardize the sales market, strengthen macro-control and guidance, and formulate and improve relevant standards and technical and economic policies. Can develop better.
