West-East Gas Project self-protection flux-cored wire products selected the only bidder --- a US company's products, since the protection of flux cored wire priced at 60 yuan per kg, the price is close to the protection of stainless steel flux cored wire Price.
Why not compete with the Chinese industry, the project, the root cause is that there is no similar domestic products.
Although the nature of some domestic welding equipment, quality has been close to the international advanced level, but in general the instability of domestic welding equipment product quality and foreign equipment, the gap is still quite large. The current high-end market is basically the world of imported products, domestic products can only be in the low-end market, fierce competition.
In addition, China's welding equipment industry, the large number of enterprises, the vast majority of enterprise development capability is weak, can only expand the simple reproduction to seize market share, a serious excess capacity, and special products, especially high-grade special welding machine, complete sets of welding equipment development And production capacity is low, basically can not be mass production or in quality and imported products are very different, can only rely on imports.
However, with the improvement of China's industrial level, China's welding industry usher in a lot of new opportunities for development, "physical health" from the current dependence on imports of time is not out of reach.
Among them, the development of steel and other upstream products to stimulate the rapid development of welding equipment industry. Welding equipment is based on iron and steel as the main welding object, the growth of iron and steel products will inevitably lead China's welding equipment industry.
At the same time, the national key projects for special, special, complete sets and production line welding equipment demand will continue to increase. If China's enterprises in the stability and improve product quality efforts, will be able to greatly increase market share.
In the environment of good circumstances, China's welding industry in order to achieve sustainable and leap-forward development, the welding equipment industry alone their own capital and strength, or only rely on imported materials and devices to achieve product updates and rapid development, there are difficulties .
Therefore, China's welding enterprises to survive, to develop, but also on their own. It is worth mentioning that mergers and acquisitions between enterprises will be integrated into a number of large enterprises gradually strong up to build a national brand.
