    China Coatings Network
    : In 2015, China's modern
    coatings
    industry has undergone hundreds of years of vicissitudes and changes, also coincides with the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China Coatings Industry Association.
    March 26, Sun Lianying (left), president of the China Coatings Industry Association, and Yang Hongmei (right), general manager of Shanghai Huayi Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., jointly pressed the launch ball in Hangzhou to open a series of commemorative activities for the centennary of the paint industry.
    2015 China Paint and Pigment Industry Work Conference opened in Hangzhou on March 26. Reporters learned from the meeting, high VOC paint is a fact of consumption tax, the second half of the paint downstream industry may also levy VOC sewage charges. Environmental pressure has increased sharply, accelerating the pace of green transformation of the coating industry, environmental protection coating systems, functional coatings, etc. have become a hot spot for research and development, innovation is becoming the main driving force for the development of the industry.
    According to the China Coatings Industry Association, China has imposed a 4% consumption tax on paints with VOC content higher than 420 g/L under construction since February 1 this year. The policy has had a huge impact in the industry. At the same time, the long-simmering policy of levying VOC sewage charges on industries such as automobiles, ships, containers, coils, furniture, steel structures and other industries may also be introduced and implemented in the second half of this year.
    although the coatings industry's profits in 2014 increased by 12.9% over the previous year, this was mainly due to lower prices for raw material products, and the company's own profitability did not improve without a fundamental improvement in the product structure. The production and operating costs of the whole industry are also increasing year by year, the current 4% of the paint consumption tax has been levyed, the industry's average profit margin of 5% to 10% is more difficult to ensure. In the maintenance of basic profits, price reduction is still an important way to compete in the market. Industry insiders generally believe that if the price of raw materials rises later, the overall profitability of the industry is worrying.
    past ten years, China's total production of the paint industry has increased 4.3 times, the total output value has increased 5.3 times, the total profit has increased 6.2 times, and achieved leapfrog development. However, at present, china's paint industry high-end capacity is insufficient, low-end overcapacity structural contradictions have not fundamentally changed; Small and scattered, low industrial concentration of the market pattern has not fundamentally changed; The civil market with national brands as the main body,
    industrial coatings
    foreign brands as the main market pattern has not fundamentally changed.
    Sun Lianying, president of the China Coatings Industry Association, pointed out that in the case of overcapacity, rising rigid factor costs and a better market system, enterprises rely mainly on technology and efficiency, rather than scale and quantity, and innovation will be the main driving force for future development. Environmental friendliness has become an important innovation direction. Global
    Coatings Network
    understand that photo-cured coatings,
    water-based coatings
    , high-solid coatings and
    powder coatings
    and other environmentally friendly coatings research and development is the focus, but also should focus on the development of functional coatings, renewable raw materials production of coatings and other products, such as nano-functional coatings, ceramic sioxane coatings, phase transfer insulation coatings, photo-touchase functional purification coatings, as well as the application of graphene in coatings. In addition, the hydration of industrial coatings is just beginning, especially
    heavy anti-corrosion coatings
    and other areas should also increase innovation efforts.
    is that the atmosphere of independent innovation in the coatings industry was even stronger in 2014. The original retreat of the national key laboratories, enterprise technology centers, academician workstations, post-doctoral workstations and other research and development departments, is gradually playing its due functions; Some enterprises began to pay attention to the introduction of talent, the purchase of advanced equipment, for the industry innovation and development to bring a new wind.
    In addition, Asda China product director Yu Fucheng and other industry insiders pointed out that China's annual production of paint nearly 17 million tons, while the export volume is less than 200,000 tons, China's
    seining enterprises
    go out to expand the international market has become the key to the future sustainable development of the industry.
