Coal mining, petrochemical and power industries showing a large amount of investment, steadily rising characteristics. 2012 Chinas coal mining and washing industry completed investment in fixed assets 5,285.82 billion yuan, an increase of 7.7% over last year, oil and gas exploration industry investment in fixed assets 2,853.99 billion yuan, an increase of 6.1% over last year, petroleum processing, coking and nuclear fuel processing industry investment in fixed assets 2,390.99 billion yuan, an increase of 5.4%. Electricity, heat production and supply industry investment in fixed assets 12,815.24 billion yuan, an increase of 10.4%.
Fixed asset investment in these industries the gradual expansion of the industry in the promotion of products, while further expanding the heavy machinery industry sector demand for cranes, Continuous handling equipment and mining machinery and equipment industry provides a good foundation for the market.
1, crane equipment market
Despite the financial crisis, Chinas crane market remained steady upward trend, fully embodies the Heavy Machinery growth of longer periodicity. As Chinas power, transportation, steel and other infrastructure construction in full laying crane market is also ensues. Because cranes for a wide range environmental adaptability demand characteristics, in order to better meet the project construction, port, corrosion proof, nuclear power, paper, waste disposal and other needs of different industries, Chinas crane industry markets must pay attention to research and development, industrial restructuring to enhance the capability of independent innovation, constant innovation to meet their specialization and large-scale trends. In addition, the national planning in emerging industries such as wind power, offshore oil exploration and other industries, will serve as the new industry crane market growth, continue to push forward the development of crane market. 2012, Chinas industrial sales output value of crane products 2,455.0 billion yuan, up 11.7 percent. Small light lifting equipment completed a total industrial sales output value of 38.13 billion yuan, an increase of 12.6%.
2, Continuous handling equipment market
Continuous mechanical handling equipment as a generic device, suitable for almost all use of heavy machinery in the industry, its market boom of highly correlated with investment in fixed assets. Although China Continuous handling equipment industry started late, but benefit from the national long-term investment in basic industries, in 2012 China Continuous handling equipment market grew rapidly, as other developing countries build their own industries are also attached great importance to a certain extent also Continuous handling equipment pulling our product requirements. In addition, continuous handling equipment for mining, power generation, ports and other sectors of basic equipment, the normal operation of the device is directly related to the relevant industry job sure they are working on hoists, conveyor products and core components exist rigid requirements. As Chinas mining industry, power industry, port construction, aviation and logistics, warehousing building construction intensified, will continue to drive Continuous handling equipment market, especially the belt conveyor equipment and its core components of market development. 2012, Chinas Continuous mechanical handling equipment to complete the sale value of 25.86 billion yuan, an increase of 26.6%. Tensioning device production was 60,000 units, an increase of 5.7%, the sales value of 1.65 billion yuan, an increase of 0.4%, brakes yield of 4.9 million units, an increase of 22.3%, the sales value of 1.12 billion yuan, an increase of 20.4 %.
3, mining machinery equipment market
Since 2008, mining machinery and equipment market growing too fast, only 2010 to 2011, China mining machinery market, the proportion of total global sales reached 36%, 41%, making the domestic mining machinery and equipment to maintain excessive. Sluggish global economic environment under the influence of mining machinery and equipment 2012 product demand remains slow steady growth. With the developed countries and Africa on the ground surface or underground mining projects deposit growth, Europe, United States and other developed countries, there are still mining machinery and equipment needs for growth, Africa, South America and other developing countries have greater market potential will be to some extent, promote Chinas mining machinery and equipment market. 2012, mining machinery products of industrial sales output value of 264.2 billion yuan, up 14.1%.
(Four) Future Prospects
2012, Chinas heavy industrial machinery industry in the difficult market environment ups before the trip, how to play to their strengths in order to improve product quality and innovation capacity has become the primary task of the current strategic development.
