According to industry statistics reported battery, 2006 battery manufacturer’s profit margins are suffering a huge impact, losing enterprises to expand, some business failures are converted, the Chinese battery industry is facing severe challenges. Industry-wide economic decline caused by the main reasons include:
1, battery material prices continued to rise
China’s battery industry is facing serious problem of “internal and external” disturbance. As countries around the world to improve environmental protection requirements, some developed countries have stopped the lead, cadmium, nickel and other non-ferrous metal production in the country to pass on their environmental pollution; This resulted in soaring prices of electrolytic lead, from 2003 4,500 yuan per ton rose to 13,000 yuan per ton earlier this year; nickel price from 150,000 yuan per ton last year or so, now stands at close to 450,000 yuan per ton. In addition, raw materials, cobalt, cadmium, natural manganese , DMW-BCD10 , DMW-BCE10 , zinc and other prices have soared in varying degrees. As the price of export products is well established with the signing of the contract, raw materials prices, the price can not sync to follow, resulting in the “export more, the greater the loss” situation. Combined with domestic battery and competition among manufacturers, leading to lower their rate of accumulation in recent years, weak to resist risks; these factors are intertwined more difficult for a direct result of domestic battery and had to have reduced the scale of production and marketing in order to reduce losses .
Second, the export tax rebate policy adjustment effects on cell industry VGP-BPS15 , VGP-BPS15/B
September 14, 2006, the five ministries, the Ministry of Finance jointly issued “some of the goods on the adjustment of export tax rebate rate and the addition of processing trade ban catalog notice.” According to “notice” requirement, lead-acid batteries, mercuric oxide batteries export tax rebate policy has been canceled; and early 2004, the export rebate rate of the battery began to gradually reduced, and the gradual abolition of tax rebates. The current lead-acid batteries DMW-BCF10 , DMW-BCG10 , mercury oxide and nickel-cadmium batteries have been included in the prohibited category in processing trade, the goods included in this directory should be levied on imports of import tariffs and import taxes.
According to statistics, the export tax rebate rate down 1 percentage point for each, equivalent to the cost of general trade exports increased by about 1 percentage point; Therefore, the introduction of export tax rebate policy would reduce the export competitiveness of the battery, which will speed up the battery industry to re-wash license, a number of competitive SMEs will be a serious loss, or face closure.
Third, foreign green barriers on the impact of China’s battery industry
According to the European Union, “Official Gazette” recently issued directives on batteries and accumulators, the battery in the lead, cadmium, mercury indicators proposed more stringent requirements, and the recovery of costs related to the exorbitant. REACH regulations and RoSH based instruction to improve battery registration fees and testing fees, has substantially increased the cost of battery production and export cost of sales.
EU and other developed countries frequently set the “green barrier”, has made a significant increase in the cost of export batteries, some SMEs have to because of economic reasons and technical reasons to give up overseas markets.
Fourth, foreign anti-dumping and technical barriers to the impact of China’s battery industry
China’s battery industry suffered successive surveys U.S. 337 alkaline battery case, the United States investigating the case of 337 lead-acid batteries, nickel-hydrogen battery company U.S. patent fees levied in China, the United States and Japan, the case of lithium-ion battery patents and other intellectual property cases, for the respondent, consumption Chinese enterprises involved with a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, VW-VBG130 distribution network have been seriously affected.
Recently, the Chinese battery industry has also suffered Korea alkaline sunset review of anti-dumping, anti-dumping sunset review India’s dry. Has gone through the lead-acid batteries VW-VBG260 ， VW-VBG6 and other products for dozens of anti-dumping, export trade have been significantly affected battery.
Some anti-dumping investigation cases and 337 companies involved do not respond because, in the entire industry out of the prosecution of local regional market.
In the current funding mechanism for responding to the lack of cases, the pressure of big business.
5, RMB appreciation impact on cell industry
RMB exchange rate from 1:8.3 in 2005, adjusted to the current around 1:7.5. China’s battery production for export in about 80%, the RMB appreciation, and difficult to raise the export price of the samsung IA-BP85ST battery , the battery exports increased significantly in the cost of economic efficiency of enterprises decreased.
6, transport costs
With the energy shortage, the battery transport costs. Traffic in many parts of goalkeeper and nickel-cadmium battery lead-acid batteries as hazardous material transportation, and forced recruitment costs, improve businesses, impact of economic benefits.
7, severe hazards in the battery industry, environmental protection and management of investment to improve
Lead-acid batteries nikon EN-EL4 charger , nikon EN-EL4a charger and nickel cadmium alkaline battery positive and negative main raw materials are lead, cadmium, nickel and other non-ferrous heavy metal compounds, especially metal ions cadmium and their toxicity and toxic effects of the strong, it raises the dust manufacturing process, resulting waste water and waste pollution through a variety of ways by the body will continue to deposit intake, play a role, leading to poisoning of osteoporosis, hematopoietic function and kidney damage. Battery contaminated soil or water, and again by growing plants, vegetables, after the depth of invasion against the human body.
In summary, our battery enterprises are facing difficulties, for China Battery Industry Association will actively guide the enterprises to adjust product structure, the multiple directions; while enterprises should strengthen the technical, process and equipment innovations, improve the utilization of raw materials and improve resource utilization, reduced because of raw materials rose as much as possible the adverse impacts; actively improve production processes, accelerate the pace of eliminating backward production capacity, as soon as possible transition to the production of high efficiency and environmental protection hp Pavilion dm1 battery , battery-direction, for battery industry continues to develop.
