Present situation analysis and prospect of China storage shelves industry
Storage shelves as one of the most basic storage equipment in the logistics, manufacturing, logistics, tobacco, pharmaceutical, commercial, electrical and mechanical industries has a wide range of applications. Shelves as one of the most important storage devices, with a connecting role, on the one hand can make full use of warehouse space, reduce warehousing costs; the other by arrangement, in access, you can save human resources effectively. It can be said that storage shelf is an important part of modern warehouse, is an important part of modern logistics centers, distribution centers With the overall growth of China's economy, logistics and warehousing industry is developing rapidly, demand becomes more and more of the shelf. With the widespread use of shelf, shelf professional and large scale factory came into being, shelves of professionalization, standardization of production. Since the 90 's in China, began to appear in droves the shelf enterprise, late 90 's, several shelves of European companies such as Schaefer, Dexion, Stow entered China, they promote the development of domestic shelf industry played a big role. Until after the year 2000, endless shelf companies have sprung up in the country, has so far only ten years, and in this short period of ten years, the shelves of the national enterprise development for more than more than more than 100, not including distribution of large and small trading companies. A domestic shelf industry analysis: Due to the current shelf companies there is no industry standard, shelves and low threshold of manufacturing, in the Decade of China's rapid economic development, the emergence of a large number of rack manufacturers, without the means to achieve better development, growing competition in the growing market. Our rack manufacturers across the country can be divided into the high-end, mid-tier, low-end three levels. Top shelf manufacturers have a certain scale, standardization of production, from design, manufacturing, quality, installation and other areas have followed their own corporate standards and overseas standards and a place in the market are erected their own brand; annual output is more than 100 million of these companies, even reached 3.5 billion. Shelves manufacturing factory on the other side, annual production value of more than 50 million, and general quality standards. And some were transformed into shelves by metal products factory production plant, annual output of below 50 million, during the manufacturing process, materials used in standard low price market. From the development of 08, several shelves large factory is a growing trend, expanding manufacturing base, are trying to use economies of scale to improve the overall competitiveness, and some had begun as early as 2006, 2007. Therefore, more and more companies begin to compete for market share, are in rapid expansion of production capacity, market competition is fierce. In particular, starting from the first half of 2009, by end of 08 influence of the financial turmoil, shrinking demand market as a whole, several shelves of big companies fiercely compete for a limited number of projects, in order to make their remaining capacity are met. During this period, the overall level of prices falling. Shelf companies more difficult. Second, the shelves in recent years market review: 1, 08 market overview: Shelf industry development has been rapid in recent years, according to the statistics, 2005-2007 shelf market during the annual growth in 35%, around 2007 production value of about 283 billion industry-wide, and in 2008 due to raw material prices, currency fluctuations, the impact of the international financial crisis, the industry growth clearly slowed, the overall increase to around 15%. Several big shelf factory growth clearly slowing, and some have even negative growth. 09, the big environmental impact, shelf average output value of enterprises in China are significantly reduced, compared with the same period last year, average cuts of around 30%--40%. 2, shelf products and the characteristics of the project: By 2000, customer demand for rack focus easy storage, mostly foreign invested enterprises in China, and lots of State-owned and private enterprises have yet to start using the professional shelving, shelf narrow customer groups, when more than 1 million is a big project. Before and after 2003, as the country's manufacturing industry, automotive industry, logistics industry, specializing in the development of third party logistics enterprises, shelf-item scale and constantly reflect the products to a large, diversified development, such as large storage warehouses in manufacturing, logistics and distribution centers, automatic warehousing systems and so on. Shelf is no longer a simple shelf to store items, and evolved into a collection of diverse and complex functionality in one, integrated warehousing and logistics systems. Products by General of storage function development for has warehouse, and logistics distribution, and chose function of various shelf system of project, as large tray type shelf, and loft type shelf, and Hou push type shelf, and gravity type shelf, and fluent type shelf, and mobile type shelf steel platform and so on, and above various type products of integrated body, to achieved must of warehouse logistics function, then, 3 million or 5 million of project has is usually. 2008Years, reflects the project gradually increasing scale, projects that more than 10 million have been common, shelves in the production and circulation has been more and more widely used. Book publishing and distribution, automobile parts, food cold chain logistics distribution Transit warehouses, commercial flow of fast-moving consumer goods distribution, clothing distribution of commercial circulation, the large-scale distribution of tobacco fields, all frequent has had more than 10 million, the shelves of even 20 million, 30 million project, on an unprecedented scale. Nowadays, the shelf using the group covered a wide range of foreign invested enterprises, private and State-owned industries, and, with further economic development, warehouse storage issues are resolved, and gradually there was need to improve warehouse management, thus, the need for integrated warehousing solutions will increase, demand for the automation of storage management is also increasing. Especially in the commercial field, will demand more storage and logistics solutions.
3, the development of automatic stereo storage shelves: Automated warehousing system developing very rapidly in recent years, currently is led by system integrators to build warehouses, automatic stereo storage shelves that are provided by the shelves of several large domestic manufacturers, such as sound-star, fly, East, six dimensions, shicang, Ding Tiger and so on. Automated warehousing systems contractor, high-end foreign brands such as Dematic, Tai Fook, and Japan and Taiwan brands such as: Murata, Okamura, Formosa plastic, Union State, and so on, is strongest in China con ship, the North and the North. There is also: Nitto, today international, and so on. 2008 National built a lot of warehouses, such as master built three large warehouses in the country, each of which has more than 40,000 goods; as well as nine dragons paper, construction of several pharmaceutical warehouse in early 2009, as well as beiyinmei, and so on. Logistics has been listed as the tenth largest revitalization of industry, national investment in this area in the future will increase, therefore, along with the economic development, automated storage shelf development prospects are very great. 4, shelf features in export markets: In recent years, exports are in the shelves fast growth trend, domestic enterprises on their own price advantages in international markets, as well as secure payment letter of credit, coupled with the growing competition on the domestic market, many companies are also committed to the development of foreign customers. However, from the beginning of 08, along with the dollar's sharp fall 08 after the Spring Festival, from May until 7 August, steel raw materials all the way up, as even worse, had a great impact on shelf export enterprises. October 08, began to reflect the impact of the international financial crisis on China's real economy, 09 to date the entire export market downturn, originally export-shelf serious shortage of capacity in major markets, to participate to the competition of domestic projects. Third, storage shelf industry development trend and prospect of China: With the development of modern logistics industry, provides value-added services for modern logistics has a deeper understanding. As basic logistics storage equipment-shelves, will conform to the trend of the times, mainly reflected developments in the following areas: 1, shelf companies to provide more comprehensive warehousing logistics solution planning and design professional; Requirements of modern logistics industry by using modern technology and means to improve the efficiency of logistics, enterprises not only need shelves providing shelf products, from the user perspective, using professional techniques to provide the right storage solution. It has become a service to provide customers with added value, in the fierce market competition, who can create greater customer value and who would be more likely to win. 2, shelf companies to larger scale development, standardization of products, new product development from the start, with economies of scale to reduce production costs; In fierce price competition, enterprises must reduce costs, shelf 70% is the cost of steel, can save room for processing fees is very small, only by continuously strengthening product development through the full save model materials to develop new products, and product standardization, reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, the high proportion of fixed costs in the cost of the factory, only in the case of increased production to more cost-sharing and, therefore, through mass production and standardization of production will be the main shelf production enterprises to improve their competitiveness. 3, shelf companies not only provide storage shelf products, providing a total storage solution set of directions. Shelves when business started, was to provide a shelf product, and customers will raise the issue of how to use the shelf. Therefore requires shelf companies offer shelf layout and design. However, customers use after shelf, solved the storage problem, and warehouse management for a range of problems facing, which want the shelf enterprise provides a full suite of shelf labels, barcode scanning and a series of warehouse operations, warehouse management software solutions, which will become a development shelf enterprises bigger and stronger direction. 4, shelf companies in specific industries such as cold chains, tobacco and pharmaceutical sectors, development of new storage devices, and efforts to improve their competitive advantage. The cold chain, pharmaceutical and other industries is the country vigorously develop industries, in order to meet the needs of logistics development in those industries, shelf companies are aiming at the market, began the development of new storage devices for these industries. For example, widely used in cold storage mobile rack, as well as intensive storage automation storage system remote control shuttle car, widely used in the pharmaceutical industry of automated warehouse and so on, in order to increase the added value of products, improving their overall competitive advantage. For domestic shelf enterprise for, although 2009 situation severe, to sought survival and development, in domestic demand market expand has fierce of race, but from long-term view, whole industry also is has is big of development prospects of, currently of situation on domestic of shelf enterprise proposed has more high of requirements, who can in 09 degrees had economic of winter, cultivation good himself of skills, who will more may in tragic of competition in the WINS.
