High end markets for cemented carbides
The high-speed steel cutting tools are being reduced by 1% to 2% annually, and the proportion has been reduced to less than 30%.At the same time, the hard alloy cutting tools in China has become the main tool required for processing enterprises, is widely used in the production of auto parts, mold manufacturing, aerospace and other industrial fields, but our tool enterprises blindly, but a large amount of production of high speed steel and some low-grade standard tools, with no consideration the saturation of the market and enterprises need to end with high value-added, high-tech high-end tool market "over" to foreign enterprises.The data shows, our tool has annual sales of approximately 14 billion 500 million yuan, of which the proportion of hard alloy cutter is less than 25%, more than carbide tool but domestic manufacturing industry has occupied the required tool 50%, the blind production has serious domestic manufacturing industry can not meet the growing demand for hard alloy cutting tools, forming the vacuum in the high-end market, is dominated by foreign enterprises.
In 2007, 16 thousand and 500 tons of cemented carbide produced in our country, 4500 tons were used in cutting tool production, and the quantity was quite similar to that in japan. But the value of the tool is only 800 million U. S. dollars, far less than Japan's 2 billion 500 million U. S. dollars, which fully shows that the overall production level of domestic carbide efficient tool is still quite a gap with foreign countries. Therefore, in the domestic enterprises can not meet the market demand under the premise of the manufacturing industry will have to rely on a large number of imports to solve. Data show that the main foreign market in China's high-end cutter sales growth rate of 30%, has exceeded the average annual growth rate of domestic knives.
Chinese tool enterprises through continuous learning and strategic planning, has occupied half of the country, but in the market, enterprises in the development process and highlights several fatal problems, such as inadequate attention, improper handling, all these will seriously affect the development of enterprises.At this stage, carbide cutting tools in developed countries have accounted for the dominant position of the tool type, the proportion of up to 70%.
