Nanping Industrial Zone certain supplies business playing relaxing music workshop, a worker lying on the production line soundly asleep. Since the outbreak of the financial tsunami, as workers and businesses to shoulder an enormous psychological pressure, unemployment, threatening them.
The way out Supplies of all ABC Status: The world's top five manufacturers of consumable settled
Industry: more than 400 middle and downstream businesses
Sales: over 10 billion yuan, accounting for two percent market share worldwide
Challenges: OEM is still the mainstream, the lack of brand awareness
We may not forget, in June 2007 Printer Consumables China International Exhibition (RemaxAsiaPacific) settled in Zhuhai Special Economic Zone to a huge ring. Zhuhai, known in the industry supplies capital of the world, has become the world's printing supplies production base, supplies the world's top five manufacturers have settled in Zhuhai. And has formed the core of these leading units, more than 400 parts, materials and ink industries, including middle and lower supplies business group with annual sales of over 10 billion yuan. Supplies, it seems to solve the lack of the Zhuhai leading industry phenomenon. However, as the representative of the supplies to small and medium industries, OEM production is still the mainstream, the lack of brand awareness in the face of financial crisis, its survival seems to be experiencing a severe challenge.
Investigation Sharp drop in export growth of foreign orders fell
Zhuhai has always been the "capital of the world supplies," the praise. In recent years, Zhuhai printing supplies industry developed rapidly last year produced only 70% of the world's ribbon, 60% and 20% of the recycled cartridges and compatible toner drum, forming parts, material and ink supplies companies, including middle and lower reaches industrial clusters, products are exported to more than 70 countries and regions, with annual sales of more than 10 billion yuan, accounting for the global industry sales with more than 20%.
However, because supplies features the industry's export-oriented, international financial tsunami coming from outside the industry will hit a level of focus. November 20, Xiangzhou District government thoroughly enterprise status, held a forum on printing supplies industry cluster, but the accident is that the confidence of the participating enterprises in this accentuates the meeting, representatives of almost every business In Dakan "feel good" bright future, it seems that the financial crisis is too far away from Zhuhai and supplies industry.
As early as 2007 on April 26, the state Department of Commerce a "blow" to domestic supplies industry, "17" Notice came into effect, the notice expressly old ink and toner cartridges as the old printer parts and scrap was included in the e-waste, prohibited imports, while domestic printing supplies over 80% of companies are relying on overseas imports of raw materials of the old cartridges, toner cartridges. The fact that the "17 Man" from the second half of this year on domestic supplies industrial chain formed a fatal blow, as the supplies of all of Zhuhai, the industry also faces a serious impact.
Also, according to a well-known financial media analysis, Zhuhai local supplies products mainly to processing, and more for the copy, at the bottom of the value chain, value-added products is not high, largely independent brands, product processing accounting for more than Jiu Cheng; and products are mainly exported to the U.S. and Europe, so since the outbreak of the financial crisis since the sharp drop in foreign orders on the growth rate of exports over the previous year showed a greater decline.
"Perhaps the reality than we thought it would be difficult," Zhuhai Supplies Industry Association has revealed a responsible person, printing supplies processing industry is facing a severe crunch, "particularly some foundries, the production cost is low, they rely on price advantage into the foreign market, but an appreciation of the yuan, a decline in foreign demand, a rise in raw material costs, these companies sure to carry to continue, have to face restructuring. "
But the official expressed optimism about the current situation in the industry, in fact, the financial tsunami has indeed some basis for resistance to impact the business opportunities brought about the upgrade. Zhuhai Supplies Industry Association, said Zhang Xiping, "tsunami" background for the main attack of compatible supplies industry of Zhuhai is not necessarily a bad thing, in the past several financial turmoil, so compatible with supplies from the international share of 5% to 30%, while the storm For Zhuhai supplies industry is a chance. According to his understanding, 10 months, more than 50 associations affiliated companies are at full capacity most of the state orders not diminished in previous years.
