China's machinery industry and the international gap

The top 100 enterprises of China's machinery industry exceeded the trillion yuan mark last year, reaching 101.5 billion yuan! Cai Weici, executive vice president of the China Machinery Industry Federation, who has worked in the machinery industry for 30 years, is proud of the achievements of today's machinery industry.

Indeed, in recent years, as China has become a "world factory", the machinery industry as an "industrial parent machine" has also achieved rapid development. Cai Weici recalled that in 2003, there were only three mechanical enterprises (excluding automobile enterprises) whose main business income exceeded 10 billion yuan, and 28 in 2009.

Longitudinal comparison, great results. So, horizontal comparison?

Cai Weici believes that although the gap between China's machinery industry and the world's similar enterprises is shrinking, in some areas, China's vanguard companies have initially had the ability to compete with similar companies in the world, but at the same time, we must be soberly aware Compared with the world's top 500 companies, the gap between China and the world's top 500 is still very large.

In fact, this gap is all-round. Whether it is scale, profitability and labor productivity, or brand, independent intellectual property rights, core technology, international operations, industrial structure, etc., there are obvious gaps.

Although China's top 100 machinery companies have made rapid progress in recent years, there is still no one company in the world's top 500 companies. The three major groups of power-on, Dongdian and Harbin, which account for half of the global production of power generation equipment, are out of the top 500 of the world.

Cai Weici believes that the lack of scientific and technological innovation capability is the weakest link in China's large enterprises. Especially in the core technologies and key links of major complete sets of technical equipment and high-tech products, we are lagging behind the international advanced level, and the technological upgrade has not yet got rid of the situation of being controlled by people. Compared with contemporary first-class multinational companies, our research and development capabilities and independent innovation capabilities still have huge gaps.

“Even our top 100 companies have few strengths to compete with international multinational companies. In general, our machinery industry is still at the low end of the value chain in the global industrial landscape, still in the world market competition. Weak position," said Wang Ruixiang, president of the China Machinery Industry Federation.

China Machinery Industry Group, which ranks first among the top 100 enterprises in China's machinery industry, is the enterprise group with the widest coverage, the most complete business chain and the strongest research and development capability in China's machinery industry. However, Ren Hongbin, chairman of the group, admits that China's machinery industry is “big”. The contradiction is still outstanding, more than 50% of high-end mechanical products are still imported; in the field of major equipment, especially high-tech equipment, micro-processing equipment (such as semiconductor processing equipment) almost all rely on imports.

"China is a big agricultural country, but in terms of agricultural machinery, we also have a big gap with the world-class level. For example, our mature tractor technology is now 180 horsepower, and there are already more than 500 horsepower in the world." Ren Hongbin said.

Ren Hongbin believes that the key to the mechanical industry to catch up with the world's first-class is to vigorously promote independent innovation and strive to break through more core and key technologies. The cutting-edge high-tech and industrial core technologies cannot be exchanged with the market, and they cannot be bought with money.

"In the post-financial crisis period, developed countries have renewed their emphasis on the real economy after rethinking. In the future, market competition will become more intense, and the challenges we face will become more severe. Therefore, we must not relax our minds and must work harder." Wang Ruixiang reminded.
