    News: Since this year, China's

    paint industry output value growth rate is greater than the output growth rate
    , the industry has basically achieved a steady goal, but the down-line pressure is still greater, small business profit margins are getting smaller and smaller, profits to the advantage of enterprise concentration, industry concentration continues to improve. This is the China Chemical News reporter from the recently held 2015 China International Paint Expo learned the situation. Yang Yuande, secretary-general of the China Coatings Industry Association, told China Chemical News that China's
    coatings enterprises
    have opportunities, challenges and development in 2015. Enterprises should adapt to the new normal of paint development as soon as possible, optimize the adjustment of industrial structure, adhere to innovation-driven, adhere to the road of green paint development.
    the first half of this year, the imbalance in operation and development was even more prominent
    from January to April this year, the national paint production reached 4.8381 million tons, an increase of 3.9% over the same period last year; The total output value of the coating industry was 20.524 billion yuan, up 9.1% YoY. In May, the paint industry experienced negative growth, resulting in a national paint industry output of only 6.23 million tons in January-May, an increase of less than 1% YoY. Yang Yuande told the China Chemical News, looking at the paint industry in the first half of the operation, there are three characteristics are very prominent. First, the polarization of the coatings industry is even more acute. Data show that the country's 2007 paint enterprises, the total profit increased from the previous year, while the number of loss-making enterprises compared with the previous year also increased. Since this year, China's paint industry small business profit margins are getting smaller and smaller, the industry's profits are increasingly concentrated in Libang, Jiabao and other large enterprises. Secondly, the concentration of the paint industry is also improving, the brand tends to specialize. Mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions and strategic cooperation are becoming more common in the industry. Sichuan Longyu and Yulilian (39.55, -0.38, -0.95%) have teamed up to expand the production capacity of
    testium dioxide
    to 640,000 tons/year, making it the world's top four. Many other companies are also secretly negotiating for better growth.
    Thy three trees
    to become CCTV "standard king", Hebei Chenyang paint each year to invest hundreds of millions of yuan in advertising and other acts, but also reflects the paint enterprises began to pay attention to brand building, expand their own influence in the industry and beyond. Third, in the first half of the paint industry appeared a lot of uncertainty factors, paint varieties appear unbalanced development. Take the
    of building
    , for example, the increase in construction coatings production is increasing, but its output value in the industry is getting lower and lower. "The history of the most stringent" "environmental protection law" to bring more and more environmental protection policy restrictions, the paint industry will also face consumption tax, sewage charges and other upcoming challenges, paint enterprises transformation and upgrading is urgent.
    there are differences in downstream functional coatings are good or bad
    for all kinds of functional coatings development has good or bad problems, Yang Yuande believes that the main reason is that downstream development has its own advantages and disadvantages. In the first half of 2015, as the growth of the real estate industry slowed, the annual output growth rate of China's construction coatings fell to less than 10%. At present, the average factory price of architectural coatings fell to 6 to 10 yuan / kg, even lower than the average factory unit price in 2003. Due to increased competition among paint manufacturers, the average unit price of architectural coatings is still on a downward trend, resulting in weak annual output growth.
    growth in
    coatings declined as auto sales slowed. According to the china Automobile Association statistics, from January to May 2015, China's passenger car production completed 8.7405 million units, an increase of 3.3 percentage points lower than the same period last year; From January to May, passenger car sales were 8.5832 million units, down 4.77 percentage points from a year earlier. However, Yang Yuande said, comprehensive domestic and foreign automotive coating new technology and new technology development, the current level of China's automotive coating technology and foreign advanced technology, and even in a leading position, therefore, environmentally friendly automotive coatings still have a lot of room for development. BASF, PPG and other enterprises expect that automotive coatings will be powder automotive coatings, water-based / high solid paint and other directions, but the current industry in the
    powder coatings
    promotion, high solids sub-standards and other issues have brought greater resistance to development.
    ship paint
    is showing a completely different good situation. From January to May, China's shipbuilding industry economy remained stable, with shipbuilding completions up 18.9% year-on-year. With the rapid development of the world marine industry and the impact of the new Environmental Protection Law on the shipbuilding industry, marine coatings will develop in a sustainable direction such as high-performance and environmentally friendly coatings, low-surface anti-rust coatings, high-performance pollution-free rust-proof pigments and fillers, ultra-weather-resistant finishes and solvent-free coatings.
    A full-year forecast for small businesses to survive more difficult
    Yang Yuande said, the national paint industry is expected to reach about 17.6 million tons in 2015, growth rate of about 7%, output value of about 415 billion yuan, growth rate of 7% to 8%. Industry profits are expected to exceed 30 billion yuan, to achieve 8% to 10% growth. In the production and operation process in the second half of the year, enterprises should plan their own development from the perspective of industry, enterprises and consumers. The rising prices of chemical raw materials in the second half of the year will have a greater impact on the profits of the paint companies without strength, and the number of loss-making enterprises and the amount of losses will continue to spread. The increase of the number of loss-making enterprises and the amount of losses is also the inevitable process of merger and reorganization of the industry. In the case of thin profits and reduced market share, the structure of a single product of small enterprises can not meet the market requirements, large enterprises can ensure that their product size, multi-variety can ensure that their profit margins are higher and higher, profits will be concentrated in the dominant enterprises. With the continuous improvement of living standards, many domestic consumers began to learn to pursue foreign decorative art skills, pay more attention to the use of color, the pursuit of perfect home, so secondary painting, art painting, etc. will be in the building decoration industry development is getting better and better. But secondary brushing technology is a big challenge for small businesses because consumers are very concerned about the content of VOCs such as formaldehyde in coatings. Although the source of formaldehyde in home installation does not necessarily come from paint, as well as flooring, adhesives, etc. , but the consumer's attention is mainly focused on paint, which also requires enterprises to strengthen publicity and guidance, change the consumer mentality.
