In 2013, faced with the messy domestic and international economic situation, the non-ferrous metal industry in China was running smoothly overall. For the first time, the output value of 10 nonferrous metals exceeded 40 million tons, reaching 40.29 million tons, up 9.9% over the same period of last year. Copper processing industry in adjusting the layout of skills, commodity aluminum toolbox layout, promote energy-saving emission reduction and screening of backward production capacity and achieved initial results. However, overheated investment and the rapid addition of capacity, so that the capacity utilization of copper processing materials decreased year by year, the transformation and upgrading of China's non-ferrous metals industry has now reached a critical period.

In 2013 the copper processing industry overall inefficient

In 2013, the copper processing industry in China showed the following main features: The growth rate of output of aluminum capacity box was not reduced. In 2013, the output value of China's copper products reached 14.987 million tons, up 25.2% over the same period of the previous year, an increase of 14.42 percentage points over 2012. The provinces with the largest increase in output value were Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Jiangxi. Jiangxi ranked first in the output value of copper in China Big province. Analysis of the layout from the cost of goods, the latest data flash, when the largest use of copper processing plant in China for the power industry with copper cables, spend about 50% of the total spending on the copper shopping malls.

Funding for fixed assets has not been effectively manipulated. In 2013, the total investment in fixed assets of the non-ferrous metal processing project in China's aluminum box factory reached 330.341 billion yuan, accounting for 49.99% of the total amount of investment contributed by the non-ferrous metals industry, still a hot heat funded by China. In the meantime, there were 553 copper-rolled processing projects, Capital contribution of 52.567 billion yuan, an increase of 35.44% over the previous year, possession of non-ferrous metal alloy production and rolling finished the proportion of fixed assets investment was 15.91%.

During the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, a total of 370.15 billion yuan of fixed assets contributed by China for the production and rolling of nonferrous metal alloys was accumulated, an average annual increase of 44%. In the first three years of the 12th FYP, a total of 737.29 billion yuan of investment was completed, equivalent to twice the five-year period of the 11th Five-Year Plan. This shows that under the current situation, the control over the expansion of non-ferrous metal production capacity is not strong. Together, we can see from the top 10 provinces and municipalities that the capital contributions have been completed that production capacity is being transported to the central and western regions and is useful for handling the intra-regional imbalance.

Import and export trade difficult to improve. According to statistics, in 2013, China imported 649,000 tons of copper materials for processing, down 3% from the same period of last year; and exported 489,000 tons, down 0.8% from the previous year. As can be seen from the above data, the lack of demand for non-ferrous metals in the world's booming economies and the slowdown in the export of non-ferrous metals in China slow down. Short-term plans and annual plans as well as the formulation of funding plans, etc., can not be too high expectations of the world's shopping malls, should still adhere to the domestic demand-based. Together, China's non-ferrous metal processing industry to promote technological progress and industrial restructuring effect is gradually flashed on the prosperity of countries such as special alloys, high-precision strip and high-precision rolled metal foil Dependency Decreased.

Inefficient operation is still copper, aluminum processing industry, the primary question of economic operation. The latest data flash, processing company profits in non-ferrous metals industry, a larger proportion of total profits, but the main business revenue profit margin of only 4%.

From the perspective of the non-ferrous metals industry as a whole, due to the weak demand of non-ferrous metals at home and abroad, the prices of most types of stocks fluctuate at a low level. Rigid costs of production factors rise, the company throughout the operating difficulties, losses gradually increased, the main business profit added negative. However, the situation is different in terms of profitability. Relatively speaking, state-owned companies are declining, private companies are added; large and medium-sized companies are declining, small companies are added; mines and work-out companies are declining; and processing companies are adding. In the case of the processing industry, although the profitability of the company is increased from the statistical data, its growth rate is lower than the growth of output value and main business revenue, and the profit margin of the main business income is actually declining.

Professional transformation and promotion is the key

Quotes ups and downs of raw materials, commodity homogeneity race aggravated, copper processing fees continue to decline, the slow recovery of domestic and international economic situation led to uncertainty in shopping malls, making a lot of copper processing companies continue to be in a period of meager profit.

"At that time, the expectations of the development of China's copper processing industry depended on the improvement of the external environment and the efforts of the careers themselves, the latter being the key and our own capable manipulation," said Ma Shiguang, an expert with China Nonferrous Metal Processing Industry Association.

In the external environment, waiting for funding to be useful manipulation. With no major breakthroughs in the use of copper and relatively stable market demand, with the gradual completion and commencement of the "Eleventh Five-year" construction project, the capital operation of the copper processing industry can gradually return to rationality. Together, the construction of capital goods of normal precision should be constrained, and the pace of capacity expansion will be gradually reduced.

Chinese copper accounts for 45% of the world's total consumption, and its dependence on the copper in the world's shopping centers is as high as 75%, pushing up the world's copper prices. The world's copper price and its overall control in the hands of the world's copper oligarchs and funded banks and other organizations hands, the business is profitable, China has no say. Copper processing as a terminal consumer in the bargaining is more at a disadvantage, there is no right to speak, can only be forced to bear. The high price and its shaky normalization have raised the company's operational risks, added financial costs, tightened its profit margins and seriously affected the operation of copper processing companies.

As far as the occupation itself is concerned, progress in industry is promoted to consciousness. Progressive skills and declining production costs has become a professional consensus, the company must seek refinement in skill management. The countries of non-ferrous metals such as Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries have attached great importance to this point and have standardized the management of all processes. After training, the standardized technologies and operations are transformed into the habit of operating the workers, and the quality of the processes is guaranteed by the progress made.

Release the full potential for cost reduction. This includes two aspects, one is to drop the cost of research into the scope of work, the second is a high priority for recycling and recycling of capital construction. China's regenerative non-ferrous metal industry is gradually becoming more formal and scaled up. At present, the national recycling rate of recycled copper, aluminum and lead has reached an average of 29%. Although it is still far away from the prosperous countries, it has been improved compared with the late "Eleventh Five-year Plan" Nearly 6 percentage points. Recycling industry construction is not only to reduce the seriousness of capital, and its active role in the reduction of processing capital goods and energy saving, emission reduction is also very obvious, the company should carefully handle the various problems existing in the recycling industry.
