The paint market urgently needs to create competitive advantages
In 2012, China's coating industry realized a total output value of 272.976 billion yuan (more than 1858 enterprises), a year-on-year increase of 7.5%. The production of coatings reached a new record high of 12.72 million tons. China is still recognized as the largest growing coating market in the world. However, in 2012, affected by the state's regulation on real estate, China's paint market was under pressure, with rising costs, fierce competition, depressed market and upgrading of industrial environmental protection. Affected by the continuous decline of the overall economy, the coating market is extremely cold. Under the huge cost pressure, the upgrading of the coating industry structure and the efficient and low-cost operation of enterprises to create competitive advantages have become urgent problems to be solved.
Although the overall environment is in trouble, the partners of Huicong Guo Xihong, General Manager of Huicong Chemicals Business Group, is still optimistic about the future development of the paint industry: "China's paint industry has achieved good performance in 2012, when the economy recovered slowly, thanks to the strong pull of domestic demand. Although the national control of the property market has brought some resistance to the paint circulation field, the overall market is still upward".
Profits of paint industry are improving
In 2013, the operation status of paint enterprises was relatively clear, while last year's paint market operation was not ideal. Many enterprises were not very firm in making some investments and settlements, and finally evolved into enterprises that could not grasp this trend well in the process of operation. According to Guo Xihong, many enterprises took a radical approach last year, using the market to scale up at the expense of profits.
In 2012, the pressure of the cost of the whole coating raw materials was relatively acceptable to the coating manufacturers, because the price of coating raw materials fell sharply last year. Last year, many coating enterprises did not decrease their profits when they were in high volume. Last year, the profits of the entire coating industry were the best in history, and the profits of Carpoly, Zhanchen, PPG and other enterprises were rising. Last year, due to the decline of raw materials, these enterprises all benefited a lot, and the market was good.
At the same time, he believes that the growth of many private paint enterprises in 2013 was very large. While the paint industry continues to grow, we must be cautious, especially the decision-makers in the paint enterprises, we must use the enterprising spirit to make breakthroughs.
Favorable policies promote the development of coating industry
With the development of urbanization, it will directly drive the development of infrastructure, real estate, transportation and other systems, increase the investment demand of 40 trillion yuan, and effectively stimulate domestic demand. From the perspective of paint market demand, as a supporting material for real estate and infrastructure facilities, the country proposes to vigorously develop new urbanization, which will also drive the demand of paint market. Huicong Partners Guo Xihong, General Manager of Huicong Chemical Business Group, believes that: "The urbanization draft has been constantly revised. In the future, the whole process of urbanization in China will be irreversible. At present, we are afraid of raising the price of real estate, but the process of urbanization has been accelerating. The process of urbanization, whether civil coatings or industrial coatings enterprises, will benefit from the development of urbanization. I am very optimistic about the cycle from 2013 to 2018
