Rapid growth of hardware raw materials, mold industry is expected to develop healthily

The metal mold industry has a large demand for major raw materials such as steel, copper, aluminum, and silicon steel sheet, and it accounts for a large proportion of product costs. The industry is sensitive to changes in raw material prices, especially the ability to withstand large fluctuations in raw material prices. Even weaker, the increase in raw materials is mainly affected by the economic development and industrial policies in China. As for the rise of raw materials, the country has also adopted a series of measures to ensure the steady growth of raw materials. It laid the foundation for the healthy development of the hardware mold industry.

Two reasons for rising raw materials

China's economic development has a relatively large impression on raw materials. China's industrialization and urbanization have been accelerated and implemented, and the international financial crisis package has been dealt with. This has made the raw materials industry more obvious.

Second, China's high-energy-consuming industries have released too much energy and increased pressure for energy-saving and emission reduction. The country has adopted measures to eliminate backward production capacity, energy conservation, and emission reductions. Eliminating a group of high-energy-consuming enterprises has a relatively large impact on the rise of raw materials.

Take measures and achieve results

In the face of rising raw materials, the State Council has intensified its macro-control efforts in a timely manner. The adjustment of raw material industrial structure, energy conservation and emission reduction have made positive progress, and production has achieved steady growth. Achieved better control results, a variety of raw materials to maintain a steady and rapid growth.

According to relevant statistics, in 2010, the industrial added value of raw materials above designated size increased by 12.9% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.9% faster than the previous year. Among them, the growth rate of metallurgy, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, and building materials industries increased by 13.4% over the previous year. 12.7%, 15.8% and 20%. More specifically, the impact of the hardware industry on the production of various metals has a relatively stable and rapid growth. In 2010, the output of ten non-ferrous metals was 31.53 million tons, an increase of 17.3% over the previous year, a cumulative increase of 98.9% over 2005; The output of electrolytic aluminum and electrolytic copper reached 16.65 million tons and 4.79 million tons respectively, an increase of 19.9% ​​and 12.2% year-on-year, and an increase of 111.2% and 89% respectively from 2005. The proportion of the top 10 copper smelting companies and the top 10 electrolytic aluminum production enterprises in the same industry output reached 76% and 64% respectively. Significant achievements in science and technology progress In 2010, the total AC power consumption of aluminum ingots was reduced by 192 kWh/ton compared to the previous year, and the comprehensive energy consumption of alumina, copper smelting, lead smelting and electricity zinc decreased by 3.7%, 3.7%, and 4.4% respectively over the previous year. And 1.1%.

From the above situation, it can be seen that there is an economic and policy factor for the increase in raw materials for the hardware industry. The state has also taken measures to maintain a steady and rapid growth of raw materials and better adjust the production structure of various raw materials. , It has positive and important operations for the healthy development of the future hardware mold industry.
