[China Aluminum Industry Network] In 2010, the “Industrial Blue Book: China's Industrial Competitiveness Report†pointed out that the international competitiveness of the non-ferrous metals industry in China needs to be further strengthened, in terms of both international market share and trade competitiveness index. Disproportionate status in China's non-ferrous metal products, the past, lead, tin and zinc in the international market share is high, but in recent years has been greatly reduced. The market share of aluminum and copper in the international market rose first and then declined, but overall it was still at a low level. At present, only nickel's international market share keeps rising. The international market share of the six non-ferrous metals is generally not very high. After reaching a high of 8.2% in 2004, it quickly fell back. In 2007, the international market share was only 4.1%, which was only half of 2004. The current low market share of the nonferrous metals industry in the international market is not commensurate with China’s position as a global producer and consumer of non-ferrous metal products. Low index China's non-ferrous metals industry trade competitiveness index is low, except for 1990 and 1991 are positive, the remaining years are negative, and remain at a relatively low level. In 2000 and 2001, the trade competitiveness index was below -0.4. From 2002 to 2006, it remained around -0.3. In 2007, this index fell to -0.4 again. This shows that China's non-ferrous metal industry's international competitiveness is still weak. In general, China's non-ferrous metals industry is in the midstream position in the international market. However, compared with other countries, the international competitiveness of the industry has remained stable or rising. In recent years, the international competitiveness of China's non-ferrous metals industry has declined. This is a problem that needs to attract special attention from the industry. A clear contrast of one liter and one drop. Russia, Canada, and Australia are major exporters of non-ferrous metal products. Russia and Canada’s international market share generally exceeds 10%, and Australia’s international market share remains at around 8%. The international market share of China's non-ferrous metals products also has a certain scale, ranking ahead of countries such as Brazil, Germany, and the United States. From the trend point of view, the international market share of the non-ferrous metals industry in most countries has remained stable, but China's international market share has declined. This contrasts sharply with the rising trend of Japan’s international market share. Who has an international competitive advantage Australia, Russia, Canada, South Africa and Brazil have significant trade competitiveness advantages. The trade competitiveness index of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and China is basically negative and does not have the advantage of trade competitiveness. . Compared with other countries, China ranks in the midstream. In recent years, the British non-ferrous metals industry's trade competitiveness index has continued to rise, while China has shown a downward trend. In 2007, the British non-ferrous metals industry trade competitiveness index exceeded China for the first time. In terms of comprehensive international market share and trade competitiveness index, the nonferrous metals industry in Russia, Canada, Australia, and Brazil and South Africa all have strong international competitiveness. The nonferrous metals industry in other major countries including China is not currently With international competitive advantage. Severe incompatibility Compared with Russia, Australia and other countries, China's non-ferrous metals industry competitiveness index performance is not good, which is lagging with long-term exploration of mineral resources in the industry resulting in resource shortage, low industrial concentration resulting in excess capacity, economic growth Extensive methods, energy-saving emission reduction tasks and other issues related to arduous. In addition, non-ferrous metal products have special properties of financial derivatives, which makes the non-ferrous metal industry show severe inadequacies in the financial crisis. Performance 1: The price of domestic non-ferrous metal products is significantly "diving". According to the monitoring data of non-ferrous metal spot markets of large and medium-sized cities, the average price per ton of copper, aluminum and zinc was 29,574 yuan, 11,928 yuan and 10,125 yuan respectively, which was a decrease of 51.42 compared with the same period of 2007. %, 35.34%, 50.39%. Performance 2: Domestic non-ferrous metal product output growth is slow, and the growth rate of industrial added value slows down. According to statistics, from January to December 2008, the output growth of non-ferrous metal products fell sharply from month to month, even with negative growth. At the same time, the added value of non-ferrous metal mining and non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industries also fell sharply, especially in November, the non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry above-scale enterprises increased by only 0.5% . Performance III: The domestic non-ferrous metal companies have increased their inventories, and their economic benefits have fallen sharply. The deepening of the international financial crisis has caused a significant reduction in the import and export trade of China's non-ferrous metals industry. The diversion of non-ferrous metal prices has also caused domestic companies to purchase non-ferrous metal products with a wait-and-see attitude. Manufacturing companies have delayed purchasing as much as possible to digest stockpiles, which has caused poor sales of domestic non-ferrous metal products, and the economic efficiency has been severely declining.
