subject: China's Shipbuilding Overcapacity In Marine Coatings To Develop? [print this page] China's shipbuilding industry since the development from the early days of liberation, can be divided into three stages: The first stage is the beginning of liberation in 1978, laying the foundation of this stage is a period of hard work; the second phase of reform and opening up from 1978 to the a century, these 20 years, the comprehensive development of shipbuilding in smooth, and gradually to the world; third stage is from 2000 to date, this is a stage of rapid development of China's shipbuilding enterprises labor advantage and capacity advantages make it in the international market has occupied a large market share.
China has become the undisputed largest shipbuilding country, however, China Shipbuilding Industry Association, the Secretary-General Jin-even appears in the "strong", the Chinese shipbuilding industry has a long way to go.
As we all know, the shipbuilding capital, the three elements of high technology and labor-intensive industries, China's biggest advantage is low labor costs, capital is relatively abundant, but both the technical capacity or the management of both Japan and Korea, Europe, the gap is still Great.
Since 2002, steady growth in the Asian marine coatings market, the market's average annual growth rate of 6% to 8%. Asia currently accounts for the global marine coatings market share of almost 60% of the corresponding terminal is also very high concentration in Asia, ships also need to maintain a large number of coatings, marine coatings market in Asia in 2007 about the scale of about 2.69 billion U.S. dollars.
The end of 2008 China Shipping Container coating paint with total of 45 million to 500 000 t, growth for industrial coatings after the second door furniture coatings category.
Asian economies led the good development momentum of high-quality marine coatings demand in Asia, about 75% of the shipping market orders from China. The rapid growth of shipbuilding industry in Asia will undoubtedly help to promote the orderly development of marine coatings industry. Some Japanese paint company is optimistic about the development potential of the Chinese market, began to shift its business focus to the Chinese market. Moreover, the U.S. and European paint companies are also moving closer to Asia, so that more intense competition in the industry.
China's new ship orders then gradually increased, but because of excess capacity, under-ship companies face pressure remains high.
Overall, China's largest shipbuilding country from access to power and that there are three major weaknesses.
Excess capacity and blind expansion
Despite the overcapacity caused by the vicious competition has seen, but the Chinese shipbuilding industry is still blind expansion, industrial restructuring is very heavy. Nowadays, China's shipbuilding overcapacity problem has been intensified, coupled with the financial crisis curbed demand, overcapacity problems affecting China's shipbuilding industry has become a major issue of development.
Ministry of Industry data released last year showed that China's current shipbuilding capacity of about 66 million dwt. In accordance with the "ship industrial restructuring and revitalization plan" submitted in 2011 China accounted for the world shipbuilding shipbuilding capacity of 35% or more of the target, then, China has established the shipbuilding infrastructure will occur over a third of excess capacity. The industry experts said, many small shipyards in this statistical data is not within the scope of the actual production probably close to 100 million dwt, so excess capacity even more.
In such a surplus, the Chinese all over still at the Daxing shipbuilding. Many coastal cities along the river to build up tons shouted slogans shipbuilding base, and many have been put into action.
Experts believe that birth is the main cause of this phenomenon because of the special structural surplus in China's shipbuilding industry: shipbuilding in the low-end, we have a lot of excess capacity, high-tech ships in the area, our production capacity has extremely lacking.
For this, the CPPCC National Committee member, Democratic National Construction Association Working Committee Director of Shanghai Hu can ship a once in this year's "two sessions" of the proposal, if not ease the overcapacity in the shipping market had yet to recover the background, once armed with orders exist volume of consumption to the warning line, the price war is inevitable, he suggested, national and local authorities to stop approving all shipbuilding, marine engineering and heavy equipment steel structure projects, in particular to restrain foreign shipbuilding and marine engineering firms on the shipbuilding, marine engineering equipment bases investment impulses; has been approved but not started construction on a new, rigorous implementation of expansion project started again declare the system; on the existing shipbuilding capacity to conduct a reasonable assessment, in particular the name of productivity, potential output and the occupation of land resources, etc., including the use of correction instead of calculating gross tonnage dwt shipbuilding capacity.
In recent years, internationally renowned marine coatings manufacturers have set up factories in China, Denmark, Hempel, England IP, Norway, Jotun, Earl, Kansai, SigmaKalon (now PPG) have in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Tianjin , Kunshan, etc. set up plants.
These companies place more emphasis on product quality and on-site services, local businesses will generally come through the price advantage of resources to attract and retain customers. Financial crisis, Asian Marine Coatings of local enterprises and foreign companies are put on a fierce battle. Looking at the global, technology, price and service advantage is the combination of enterprises for the market the last word, whether local enterprises, or foreign companies, in this regard plans for the future direction of enterprise is the ultimate trump card to win the market.
China Shipbuilding Industry Association (China Shipbuilding Association) in August 2009 in a report that a substantial reduction in orders for new ships, handheld shipbuilding orders declining shipbuilding capacity quick-release situation, demand and supply has become an increasingly prominent Shipping companies face growing pressure of underemployment. China Shipbuilding Association says that right now most of the new shipyard handheld shipbuilding orders to the end of 2010 or first half of 2011, part of the second half of 2009 the shipyard is facing underemployment. China Shipbuilding Association has predicted economic recession in the world and put in a huge double capacity under the influence of the next two to three years will continue to face the global shipbuilding orders difficult problem.
