Demand will remain weak

According to the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Recycling Metal Branch , Vice President and Secretary General Wang Ji bit expected , on the demand side , the recent never again have a massive investment stimulus policies, the overall situation of renewable non-ferrous metals in the near future there will be significantly improved, demand is unlikely to have high growth. Among them, the recycled copper production has declined , recycled aluminum production was essentially flat , secondary lead production increased slightly , recycled zinc production fell slightly. Meanwhile, in the context of urbanization in China, the economic and social development of many important energy peak demand and still have 10-20 years of mineral raw materials , particularly copper , aluminum and non-ferrous metals are two varieties , resource requirements will peak in 2025 about coming.

In terms of price , due to the existence of industry overcapacity, sharply efficiency, increased production costs , lack of competitiveness , export structural contradiction , the world economic slowdown , further declines in market demand and other issues , the industry is expected to be recycled copper demand further reduced.

Deep-rooted problems to be solved

" While the industry remained stable overall running posture , we must soberly , restricting some deep-seated contradictions and problems of regeneration , coordinated and healthy development of non-ferrous metal industry has not been fundamentally resolved, steady development is still facing many difficulties and challenges. " Ji bits.

First, the overall situation can hardly be optimistic about the industry , the domestic downstream demand weakened , the upstream raw material imports difficult. By the non-ferrous metal prices are low , the impact of the macroeconomic slowdown , imports and increasing environmental pressures and other unfavorable factors , investors are not optimistic about the outlook of the industry , slowing down the progress of new projects under construction , some companies are maintaining and wait stage , started rate dropped significantly, or is discontinued, converting state.

Meanwhile, the international trade protectionism to limit exports of non-ferrous metal scrap , recycled metal industry has developed rapidly in developing countries , resulting in non-ferrous metal prices ups and downs , metal scrap imports more difficult to form a multi-national , multi- compete the international scrap metal market situation, to metal production and operation of domestic renewable great difficulties and risks.

The second is not high value-added products , the industrial structure of the contradictions are still outstanding , the whole industry chain in the international division of labor in the low-end link. Mainly in the low- end products companies to develop the level of the input-output efficiency is not high , competitiveness is weak, not strong ability to withstand risks . The main reason is the little businesses to invest in new product development , extend the industrial chain , the cause of low value-added products , a slight fluctuation in the market can not meet , seriously hampered the development of enterprises.

Third, technological innovation capability needs to be improved . Regeneration of non-ferrous low corporate technology and equipment level , there is a certain gap with developed countries , technological innovation and low awareness , poor , inadequate investment is the main reason companies uncompetitive . Strengthen the R & D investment in technology research and development is the key problems to be solved .

Fourth, the industrial park competition , industrial chain competitive advantage should be improved. With the increase in the number of industrial parks , industrial slowdown , competitive pressures between the park attendant . Some pre -prepared, weak industrial base , lack of resources , market management lag park facing delays in project implementation , the industry chain is not complete dilemma.

Five are in urgent need of tax policy support and financial support. At present, China Nonferrous Metal Industry regeneration compared with developed countries is still very young , but the role in the national economic construction and very important. Tax policy support and financial support to create the conditions for business out of trouble.

"At present, China's nonferrous metals face large dependence on foreign status quo of China's urgent need to protect internal resources recycling non-ferrous industrial system uptime , recycled metal industry development is the formation of a complete industrial system of colored only way . Therefore , non-ferrous metal industry is the most typical regeneration of strategic new industries. Deputy Director of the General Office , " the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Energy Saving and Comprehensive Utilization Department WANG Xiao Yang said recently .

Industrial importance has become increasingly prominent

Regeneration of non-ferrous metal industry after nearly 10 years of sustained development, mainly non-ferrous metal production exceeded 10 million tons of renewable , has close to 1/ 3 of the native non-ferrous metals production, more than 400 billion yuan of industrial output value , industrial scale largest in the world .

Currently, renewable non-ferrous metal industry has become China's mineral resources to alleviate the shortage of supply of conflicts, promoting non-ferrous industry, energy conservation, development of national economy important measures. For example , recycled copper , aluminum , lead, zinc , respectively, overall energy consumption is only 18% of primary metals , 45%, 27% ​​and 38% ; production per tonne of ore resources can save a corresponding amount of 380 tons , 20 tons, 128 tons , 52 ton and 1054 kg of standard coal , 3,443 kg , 659 kg , 950 kg .

According to statistics, in the first three quarters of 2013 , China's renewable and non-ferrous metal industry production compared to the same amount of primary metals , energy saving 16 million tons of standard coal, 1.1 billion cubic meters of water conservation , saving 50 billion kwh of electricity , reduce solid waste discharge 900 million cubic meters , reduce carbon dioxide emissions 56 million tons , saving natural resources one billion tons .

2020 , China's renewable industry will continue to grow non-ferrous metals , the product will be more than 20 million tons of total industrial output value will be close to 1 trillion yuan .

Enterprises to enter the era of meager profit

2013 , China's non-ferrous metal industry overcome the economic regeneration of the downward pressure on domestic and international influence , overall remain basically stable operation. On this basis , the State Department has issued a number of policies and regulations related to recycling economy and recycled metals , China's nonferrous metals industry regeneration policy environment has been further optimized to enable enterprises to accelerate the pace of technological innovation for industrial and technological progress and industrial upgrading provides a powerful thrust.

Nevertheless, the 2013 Renewable nonferrous metal products production has declined slightly , a marked decline in economic efficiency of enterprises , reducing new investment , import and export trade growth down , the domestic market is still significantly lower than the non-ferrous metal prices the same period in 2012 , has been seriously affect the development of non-ferrous metal industry throughout regeneration .

In terms of product yield , the first three quarters of 2013 renewable non-ferrous metals ( copper , aluminum, lead , zinc ) production was 7.22 million tons , down 5.1%. Which recycled copper production of about 1.8 million tons , down 12.2% ; recycled aluminum production is about 3.5 million tons , down 3 percent ; recycled lead acid batteries due to the elimination of short- cycle reasons , the demand is growing, production of about 110 tons, an increase of 4.8% ; renewable zinc production of about 820,000 tons , down 8.9%.

In product prices, from January to September 2013 , due to the non-ferrous metal prices continue to shock down , recycled ferrous metal products average selling price decreased by 9 % over the average price last year . The 1st scrap average price of 49,460 yuan / ton ; the 2nd scrap average price of 45,800 yuan / ton ; scrap average price of 12,509 yuan / ton ; regeneration aluminum [ colored leads : aluminum alloy ] ADC12 average price of 15,755 yuan / ton, compared with the same period in 2012 decreased by 8 %. As of the end of September 2013 , the price of waste lead-acid batteries is about 7700 yuan / ton, unchanged from the beginning of 2013 .

In import and export, from January to August 2013 , China's total imports of copper , aluminum, zinc scrap 4.394 million tons , the amount of $ 11.41 billion , down 9% , respectively , 8.5 %. Among them, 2.79 million tons of imported copper scrap , down 9.7% , the amount of $ 8.89 billion , down 8% ; imported 1.58 million tons of aluminum-containing scrap , down by 7.6% , amounting to $ 2.48 billion , down 12.9% ; imports zinc scrap 24,000 tons , an increase of 9.1% , the amount of $ 41,000,000 , an increase of 5.1%.

In terms of business benefits , due to falling commodity prices , increased production costs flank , recycled nonferrous metal enterprises to enter the profit period, fixed asset investment rate and the number of new projects are significantly decreased.
