The non-ferrous metal industry basically realizes the dynamic balance of supply and demand


      In the recently held "2017 China international aluminum industry week" activities, China nonferrous metals industry association, said Chen Quanxun since 2017, non-ferrous metals industry seriously boost supply side structural reforms, strengthening industry self-discipline, create a good market environment, the non-ferrous metal industry generally presents the production running smoothly, benefit for good. However, structural problems such as rising costs, insufficient innovation and financing difficulties have not been fundamentally solved, and the development of non-ferrous metals industry has been further consolidated.

The industry has recovered fully.
      In recent years, in the policy guide, industry self-discipline, enterprise innovation, under the interaction of the non-ferrous metal industry generally presents the production running smoothly, rise in price swings, benefit for good. China nonferrous metals industry association, vice President of literature army says, on the one hand, after the former high stability was registered in industrial production of nonferrous metals, ten kinds of non-ferrous metal smelting products output growth narrowed from month to month, close to consumers such as copper, aluminum deep processing products to maintain steady growth; On the other hand, the effect of cleaning up and rectifying the illegal projects of electrolytic aluminum is further revealed.
  According to the data, the output of ten kinds of non-ferrous metals in China was 40,729,000 tons in january-september, an increase of 4.1% compared with the same period of last year, and the increase was 0.8 percentage points from January to August, but it was still 3.2 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year. Among them, the refined copper output was 668,000 tons, up 6.3% year on year. The original aluminium output was 246.61 million tons, an increase of 5.0% over the same period last year. The increase was 1.1 percentage points narrower than that of January to August, but it was still 6.4 percentage points higher than the same period last year.
  Since 2017, and to benefit from the supply side reform policy capacity, electrolytic aluminum and other metal prices continue to rise, also from the level of early 13000 yuan on 15000 a tonne mark (also hit 17000 yuan high). Of the 118 listed nonferrous metals companies, nearly 90 per cent of the 118 listed non-ferrous metals companies have made a profit in market conditions.
  In terms of revenue of main business, 8244 non-ferrous metal industrial enterprises realized the main business income of 4405.20 billion yuan, up 17.3% year on year. The total profit was 173.02 billion yuan, up 50.9 percent year on year and 4.5 percentage points narrower than the first half.
  "The non-ferrous industry has achieved such a feat." Chen told reporters that in the past five years, the industry has phased out 2.4 million tons of outdated production capacity and encouraged and led 5.66 million tons of low competitiveness to exit the market. This year, our country is in an unprecedented efforts, and start the rectification project of electrolytic aluminium industry violation special operation, and use the environment, a clampdown reversed transmission enterprise stage shut down production capacity, improve the market supply.
The continued good foundation is yet to be consolidated.
        Review of the development of the non-ferrous metal industry, especially the development of aluminum industry in China, it took from the "imported" to "partial", to "satisfy" the course of struggle of the national economy and social development needs. The total scale of non-ferrous metal industry has been steadily improved, the industrial layout has become more and more reasonable, and the innovation system has gradually improved.
  "Compared with the past, industry backbone enterprises have made great progress from equipment level to process control, management level and labor productivity." Some technical and economic indicators and equipment levels have even led the world, according to the document. Especially in the emerging field, but also vigorously develop personalized needs products, air with thick plate, aluminum panels, such as the rapid development, aluminum air battery, nano ceramic aluminum also began from r&d to industrialization. In addition, "aluminum alloy steel", "aluminum festival wood" and "aluminum festival copper" have also been widely recognized by the society, which promoted the steady and rapid growth of aluminum consumption and became a stabilizing agent for the sustainable and healthy development of the industry.
  It is important to note that although this year China's aluminum industry to capacity, basic realize the dynamic equilibrium of supply and demand, but rising costs, lack of innovation and the difficulty of financing, structural contradictions still have yet to be fundamentally solved, non-ferrous metals industry development continued to good foundation remains to be further consolidated.
  The production of bauxite mines in shanxi, henan and other places has been suspended due to the impact of the heating season and environmental supervision, and the supply of bauxite is tight. On the one hand, the cost is rising rapidly. According to the data, in October 2017, the average total cost of the electrolytic aluminum industry was 15500 yuan/ton, up 30% from the previous year. Currently over 16,000 yuan/ton; Nonferrous metals, on the other hand, fell. It is understood that Shanghai aluminum continuously fell on November 6 solstice 9, fell more than 4%, fell to 15320 yuan/ton, has fallen below most of the enterprise cost line.
  Literature army, said the government's determination and enforcement of electrolytic aluminum to capacity is unprecedented, "2018 national policy on the supply side of the electrolytic aluminium industry reform, including strict controls of new capacity, rectification of illegal production, environmental protection standards improve, heating season limit production, etc., does not relax, inventory is expected to appear a turning point."
It is urgent for the industry to develop high quality.
      The communist party of China (CPC) has made clear that China's economy has shifted from a rapid growth stage to a high quality development stage. "The development of the electrolytic aluminium industry in China must carry out new development concepts, optimize the allocation of existing resources, expand the supply of quality and increment, and enhance innovation and competitiveness." Chen xuesen, deputy director of the strategic development department of the aluminum industry of China, said that in the context of the new era, the supply-side reform of the electrolytic aluminium industry is still the main theme.
  Aluminum is "lightweight, green and renewable metal", but what is undeniable is that the industry still has the problem of insufficient development, unbalanced, promote the development of the non-ferrous metal industry to a higher quality is imminent. According to Chen xuesen's analysis, one is that the downstream aluminum processing is not fully developed and the high-end supply is insufficient. The second is the imbalance of domestic aluminum smelting capacity and the guarantee capacity of bauxite resources. Third, the environmental protection standard of gradual improvement puts forward higher requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction of electrolytic aluminum industry.
  "Innovation, coordination, green and openness are the trends of the future industry." Yu wei, deputy director of the department of raw materials of the ministry of industry and information technology, said that the development of the non-ferrous metals industry must adhere to the quality first and benefit priority, with the supply-side structural reform as the main line to realize the dynamic balance of supply and demand. On the one hand, we should continue to promote technological innovation and upgrading, guide production and application enterprises, equipment manufacturing enterprises, and scientific research institutions to move together, and break the need for materials in key application areas. , on the other hand, must continue to promote the new material application, promoting aluminum production, vehicle design and transportation unit close cooperation, promote aluminum alloy in the application in the field of new energy vehicles, transport vehicles, etc. Also, continue to deepen international cooperation, combined with the "area" construction, widen the channel of the international cooperation in aluminum industry, aluminum industry, technology, capital, talent team management experience exchanges and cooperation, and encourage foreign enterprises and research institutions in our country, set up high-end aluminum products research and development center and production base, make the application of aluminum benefit the development of human beings.
