The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that the capital in the eastern coastal areas such as the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Bohai Rim is relatively saturated, and the supply of land, labor, energy and other factors is tightening, and it is imperative to accelerate economic transformation and structural upgrading. The infrastructure of the vast central and western regions has been gradually improved, the factor cost advantage is obvious, and the industrial development space is large. In this context, not long ago, the State Council officially issued the "Guiding Opinions on Undertaking Industrial Transfer in the Central and Western Regions" to support the transfer of industrial transfer in the central and western regions. The opinion pointed out that the promotion of industrial transfer in the eastern coastal areas to the central and western regions has been accelerated. It has become a policy orientation and an important task to promote coordinated regional development.
Analysis of the background of the transformation and upgrading of the mold industry
The mold industry is known as the “mother of all industriesâ€. In the current automotive, IT, aviation, building materials, exhibition equipment, medical, sanitary and other industries, more than 80% of the parts are manufactured by molds. China's mold industry has developed relatively late, and has not formed an industrial scale. After the rapid development of the “10th Five-Year Plan†and “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€, the modern mold industry has been on the fast lane of the new industrialization road. The mold is an important manufacturing equipment industry. At the same time of service from all walks of life, it also directly serves the high-tech industry. The unique and important position of molds in the R&D, innovation and production of manufacturing products makes the mold manufacturing capability and level become an important symbol of national innovation capability. . Luo Baihui, executive secretary of the International Association of Mould & Hardware Plastics Industry Suppliers, said that 2010 is the last year of the “Eleventh Five-Year†development plan for China's mold industry, and also the first year of “Twelfth Five-Year Planâ€. The economy is gradually picking up and improving. As a key factor in the transformation of the manufacturing industry and the adjustment of industrial structure, it is undoubtedly of a pivotal position. The International Association of Molds and Hardware and Plastics Industry chooses to land in China at this time. It will shoulder the communication between the upstream and downstream industries of the manufacturing industry and jointly promote the manufacturing industry. An important task for development.
In 2009, China's plastics industry's 600 billion sales, driven by 1:100, will have the support of 60 billion molds. It is predicted that China's domestic demand for auto parts will reach 180 billion yuan in 2010, and the mold industry that supplies equipment for auto parts will also be developed at a high speed. At the same time, China's IT information industry has entered a leap-forward development stage. In 2009, China's mobile phone, color TV, laser disc player, notebook computer and other major products grew by more than 30%. The information industry will continue to develop rapidly. China's IT molds will still be in short supply. . In addition, with the rapid development of construction and exhibition industry, a large number of new construction, building materials, exhibition supplies, profiled molds, plastic pipe molds, etc. will also achieve rapid development.
In the first half of 2010, China's equipment manufacturing industry showed a general trend of recovery, production and sales showed rapid growth, economic benefits recovered significantly, imports and exports steadily rebounded, and the income of the mold industry continued to grow, and the industry gradually embarked on the upward trajectory. In the international market, as industrialized countries strive to reduce industrial production costs and China's molds still have competitive advantages, the foreign trade situation is also relatively good. According to incomplete statistics, the total sales of China's molds in the first half of this year increased by about 15% compared with the same period of the previous year. According to customs statistics, the total import and export of molds from January to June 2010 was 1.993 billion US dollars, an increase of 4.18%. Among them, imports were 9.99 billion US dollars, down 3.29% year-on-year; exports were 994 million US dollars, up 12.92% year-on-year. The trade deficit was US$0.05 billion, a year-on-year decrease of US$148 million, a drop of 96.73%.
Luo Baihui explained that the current reason why the equipment manufacturing industry is generally “recovering better†is that the Chinese economy has gradually opened up the gloom of the financial crisis; on the other hand, it is the implementation of a series of macro-control policies of the central government, the electronic information industry. The support and effect of adjustment and revitalization planning, “home appliances to the countrysideâ€, “old-for-new†and equipment manufacturing and automobile industry adjustment and revitalization plans have been gradually realized, and the domestic demand market for mechanical mold products has expanded steadily. The emergence of new blue oceans such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, and mobile internet has also created a broad market for the IT mold industry.
Luo Baihui pointed out that, unlike in previous years, in 2010, the investment of multinational companies in China, the investment involved in R&D and headquarters operations management became increasingly prominent. The rise of China as a global R&D center today cannot be underestimated, and the R&D investment of multinational companies in China is pushing the United States. At the same time, the geographical pattern of China's mold industry has also undergone corresponding changes, and the role of the coastal area as the main force in the mold manufacturing industry is being diluted. In 2010, after the shocking global “multiple jump†event, the migration of Foxconn, the world's largest foundry from Shenzhen to central Henan and Wuhan, fully reflected the gradient transfer trend of mold manufacturing in China.
This trend has emerged from the events of HP's investment in Chongqing and the establishment of factories last year, and further intensified this year. On October 29, Lenovo Group signed a contract with the Chengdu government to announce the establishment of a Lenovo (Western) industrial base in Chengdu; On the 15th, Texas Instruments, a manufacturer of analog and embedded processing semiconductors, announced the establishment of a manufacturing plant in Chengdu. In the context of the country’s continued implementation of the Western Development Policy, global economic restructuring and industrial transfer, “Westward†has become a consensus. At present, a large number of IT giants such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Foxconn, Dell, Motorola, Siemens, Alcatel and Microsoft have settled in the west. In undertaking the industrial transfer, the International Mold and Hardware and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association will become a big bridge to communicate with the government and supporting enterprises.
In the future, it is foreseeable that the mold industry as a strategic, basic and leading pillar industry of the national economy will become more prominent and play a greater role in promoting economic transformation and social progress. On October 18th, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee came to an end in Beijing. The meeting reviewed and approved the "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" to determine the next generation of information technology, energy conservation and environmental protection. The seven major industries of biology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, new materials and new energy vehicles are the key directions for the development of strategic emerging industries during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, promoting the upgrading of industrial structure and the transformation of economic development mode, and enhancing China's independent development capability and international Competitiveness and promote sustainable economic and social development. For the mold industry, it is our historical mission to wisely choose to use new information technology, e-commerce, stereo media, exhibition marketing, and promote and accelerate the transformation of enterprises. Under this background, the International Mold and Hardware and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association's "International Mold Machinery Industry", "International Hardware and Plastics Industry", and International Model Association Network will open the curtain of industrial convergence, regional coordination and common development. .
The transfer of the mold industry to the central and western regions is the first choice
According to Luo Baihui, in recent years, with the gradual formation of the national unified large market and the overall improvement of factor costs, the original institutional and institutional advantages of the eastern coastal areas have basically disappeared, the extensive economic development mode is unsustainable, and the competitive advantage tends to weaken. At the same time, affected by the international financial crisis, the demand in the international market dropped sharply, and orders from the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, where manufactured goods were highly dependent on exports, fell sharply, and the growth rate of exports fell rapidly, and the economic growth rate dropped significantly. Under the pressure brought by the changes in the economic environment at home and abroad, the mold industry in the eastern coastal areas of China is accelerating the pace of transfer to the central and western regions. This is the inevitable result of the industrial gradient transfer under the influence of the market economy law, and is also driven by the integration of the global economy. An irreversible economic trend.
The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions on the eastern coast are regarded as “world manufacturing basesâ€. However, most of the industries are mainly labor-intensive, and they are at the low end of the product value chain. R&D, design and marketing, and brands are weak. Insufficient capacity for independent innovation, mainly relying on low cost and low price to gain competitive advantage, and the phenomenon of homogenization within and between industries is serious. Only by transferring some labor-intensive, resource-consumption and environmentally-friendly industries, can high-tech and high-level enterprises have more space for activities and stronger supply of elements, and accelerate the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. pace.
Some private mold enterprises with good operating conditions and rapid development in the eastern coastal areas have accumulated considerable capital, technology and management level, and have moved to the outside of the region to obtain larger products nationwide. Market and economic benefits. The most active in the process of industrial transfer is small and medium-sized private mold enterprises. Pursuing corporate growth and promoting external expansion is often the goal of industrial transfer of these enterprises. Especially since 2008, due to changes in the macroeconomic situation, the market pressure has increased significantly, forcing enterprises in the eastern coastal areas to open up markets through industrial transfer. Luo Baihui found in the survey that at present, China's domestic mold industry transfer is at its peak. The transportation, communication and energy infrastructure in the central and western regions have been gradually improved. The institutional environment, investment environment and market environment have been greatly improved. Together with low land, labor costs and abundant resources, it has become an ideal ground for the transfer of the mold industry. In the past, the Yangtze River Delta industry mainly shifted to northern Jiangsu and Anhui, and now it has expanded to Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces. In recent years, many labor and resource-intensive enterprises in Zhejiang have accelerated their transfer to the central and western regions such as Jiangxi. The mold enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region also began to shift to the central and western regions. Foshan's ceramic mold enterprises mainly moved to Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Shandong and other places. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other provinces have accelerated the transfer of industries in the developed regions of the province to underdeveloped regions in the province. For example, through measures such as financial support, comprehensive subsidies for electricity tariffs, and tilting of land use plans, Jiangsu has promoted the north-south counterparts to help and jointly build development zones, and vigorously promote the transfer of southern Jiangsu industries to Suzhong and North Jiangsu. According to statistics, from 2001 to 2007, the South Jiangsu region transferred 10,919 projects with a total investment of over 5 million yuan to the north of Jiangsu Province, with a total investment of 382.6 billion yuan and an actual investment of 170.36 billion yuan. As an important source of industrial transfer in China, the local government has indicated that industrial transfer does not mean that all production links and enterprises are transferred. The enterprises in the Pearl River Delta also shifted their focus to the east and west wings of the province and the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong.
From the perspective of the transferred sub-sectors, it is mainly labor-intensive and resource-intensive. The industries that are transferred to the eastern coastal areas are mainly upstream with strong dependence on resources and energy, such as labor-intensive toy plastic molds, shoe-making molds, and ceramic molds with large energy consumption. As the most important source of industrial transfer in the Yangtze River Delta region, Shanghai is mainly engaged in the mold-related industries such as rubber products, plastic products, machinery manufacturing, cultural and sports goods manufacturing, and steel processing. The industries transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are mainly machinery manufacturing. The transfer of the Pearl River Delta region is mainly labor-intensive and low-value-added manufacturing and processing enterprises, mainly concentrated in the hardware, toys, footwear, plastics, molds and other industries, especially Hong Kong-funded Taiwan-funded enterprises. Service industry and high-tech industry also showed a shifting trend.
Undertake industrial transfer, cross-regional coordinated development of the eastern and western regions
In the development of capital and technology-intensive industries, the eastern coastal areas have large investment and high cost, and it is difficult to obtain income in the short term; while continuing to develop labor-intensive industries, they are constrained by factors such as rising overall costs and competition from other developing countries. The profit margin is gradually being compressed. To this end, Luo Baihui pointed out that when the innovation mechanism has not been established, the emerging industries can not cultivate and develop in time, and the technical support for scale and industrial upgrading has not yet fully formed, the eastern coastal areas will bring existing industries, especially labor-intensive industries, to the central and western regions. The transfer may lose new economic growth points and industrial hollowing out, and lead to structural unemployment. In addition to various reasons such as the fiscal and taxation system and the performance appraisal system, the eastern coastal areas are reluctant to allow local enterprises to move out on a large scale. In order to promote regional development, developed provinces such as Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian have successively issued a series of policies, including measures to improve infrastructure, improve industrial support, optimize investment environment, taxation and land concessions, and encourage the transfer of industries to underdeveloped areas in the province. Although the effect was not as good as expected, it objectively intercepted the transfer of industrial transfer to other regions. In the central and western regions, there are some problems in which the environment is not perfect. The central and western regions are far away from the port, the transportation cycle is long, the transportation cost is high, the external contact is not smooth, the industrial park and the development zone lack integration, and there is no senior technical talent, marketing talent, management talent and business talent, so that the transfer enterprise can not keep up with the service. Problems such as reduced operating efficiency and rising transaction costs. The market economy system is still not perfect, and there is a lack of scientific planning and reasonable guidance for undertaking industrial transfer. Compared with the eastern coastal areas, there is a big gap in terms of concept opening, government efficiency, legal environment, information system, social integrity, and market mechanism. Consumption habits and cultural environment are also different, which often makes the enterprises that are moved into the predicament of “acclimatization†and affects the enthusiasm of enterprises.
In response to the above problems, Luo Baihui said that governments at all levels in the eastern coastal areas should raise their awareness of the importance of industrial transfer, further emancipate their minds, update their concepts, and improve the comprehensive evaluation system of government performance. Through the establishment of industrial transfer parks in cooperation with the central and western regions, the high-tech zones, development zones, and industrial parks in the central and western regions should be used as industrial transfer demonstration zones and institutional innovation zones to improve the ability of the industry to cooperate and solve the problem of carrier transfer. . Jointly build investment and trade platforms, technology and talent exchange platforms, and carry out various forms of economic and trade cooperation activities. It is necessary to combine the upgrading of its own industry and the requirements of industrial development in the central and western regions, scientifically plan industrial transfer, determine the key points of industrial transfer, and realize the coordinated development and rational division of labor in the eastern, central and western regions in accordance with the principle of mutual complementarity and mutual benefit.
