 According to Hefei Customs that from January to July this year, the Guangdong province's auto parts exports is 290 million dollar, and there is an increase of 62.8%.

Customs data show that the first seven months, exports products based on vehicle spare parts, wheel spare parts and electric lighting fixtures, car repair tools, total exports of vehicle spare parts, wheels spare parts and electrical lighting equipment are $ 110 million, accounting for 38% of total exports. It is worth mentioning that in the auto parts exports camp, private enterprises has an outstanding performance. From January to July, exports of auto parts of private enterprises in Guangdong province are $ 180 million, and accounted for 62% of total auto parts exports.

According to customs analysis, the improvement of auto parts benefits from the better auto market in United States and other developed countries which can urge the auto parts exports especially for the car security system to drive growth, brands such as Chery car prices increased in South America and North Africa market development efforts in overseas markets has made considerable development and progress. January to July, the United States, Malaysia, Venezuela and Nigeria, total exports of 110 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 38% of total export value parts, of which Malaysia, Venezuela and Nigeria exports grew 1.5 times, 2.7 times and 7.1 times.

The people who is responsible for Hefei Customs General Statistics Office stated that vehicle sales slowdown, raw material prices and labor costs are lower edge gradually disappeared, which restricts the automobile accessories exports for growth. At the same time, the lack of key components of high-tech technology, the province of car parts, mostly low-end products with low added value, easily replaced by similar products in India and other developing countries. Therefore, Customs recommends enterprises to accelerate the pace of mergers and acquisitions, increased industrial concentration; strengthen research and development efforts to improve the core competitiveness of export products; changing trade structures, from simple export products to the capital, technology output, service output transition, accelerate new energy automotive parts component development, to develop ecological change.

Recent years due to "increased accessory" problem makes the demand for inventory investment of traditional automotive aftermarket industry is growing rapidly.

The number of parts increases are affected by the child the following results: 1. highly segmented market produced the most different types of large cars (both U.S. and foreign); 2. Government ordered the use of safety and emission control equipment.

Now the world reduce VOC paint structure of varieties such as the direction toward the development of water-based paint is one of the development directions. Chinese traditional solvent-based coatings proportion gradually decreased, the development of water-based paint is very fast, but the polyvinyl alcohol still a large proportion of low-grade varieties.

 It is an important part for the paint manufacturer to improve the quality of water-based paint, develop new varieties of consolidation and development of water-based paint. It is a key to research and development should be based on vinyl acetate - acrylic copolymer emulsion, styrene - acrylic copolymer emulsion and pure acrylic latex binder series based paint and fight in the durability, film smoothness, fullness, construction, decorative and other aspects of a breakthrough; for the more mature epoxy emulsion, water-based polyurethane waterborne base should continue to study high-performance coatings, meet some specific requirements.

To the functional development

Nowadays, in addition to make greater efforts to carry out scientific research on anti-fire, anti-virus, pest control pesticides, thermal insulation and other existing low level of quality functional coatings, we must also intensify research and solve the new problems and difficulties of architectural decoration. Composite technology will be improved and effective way to meet all kinds of functions.

First, function composted. Such as the composite of elastic function and respiratory function: the excellent elastic latex with hydrophilic functional groups of surface modified micro-shell ultrafine particles composite, which made the elastic ability and moisture permeability coexist. The complex flexible features and low pollution functions: The normal reaction emulsion combined with a hydrophilic coating technology, through the use of large molecular weight cross linking reaction latex, and improves elongation and film density, which is combining the elastic function and low pollution function.

Second, we should strengthen basic research on acid rain paint, and solve the problem of buildings affected by acid rain corrosion, fight in the base material composite technology and related auxiliaries match breakthroughs to solve China increasingly serious corrosion of the acid rain on buildings major problem.

Third, the base material of the modified feature is compositing. As for the existing base material has a particular performance modification, and with the special function phase composite. Such as silicone-modified acrylic weathering and moisture curing polyurethane breathable combining in order to achieve the dual role of special functions.

I think this function development is very important for coating industry, but for the Fiberglass Products, it is a long way for them to improve.

 

As we all know, there more and more wholesale medical supplies for people to select.

 According to the relevant industry analyst reports, China's third and fourth-tier cities are very enthusiastic of buying the car, automobile consumption seems to have become “rigid demand" and therefore, automotive investors have a broader space. With the introduction of the new car "Warranty Act" will be implemented, and it will enhance the parts enterprises threshold and the edge parts enterprises have many opportunities with overseas M & A integration. With these advantages, it is meaning that domestic auto parts enterprises with good situation.

The "Warranty Act" will be officially implemented this year on October 1st. This regulation has a clear requirement on parts made, and there are no flexibility requirements. Obviously, the stringent requirements for parts and components and car security system are bound to have a profound impact on the industry. Of course, this is good for preventing the counterfeit from reaping market shares, and the excellent quality of the business is good, it will help parts listed companies to obtain spare orders and to maintain gross margins, to achieve strong Always the Winner.

It is a great challenge for the enterprises which is has a gap for technical level, the ability to control the quality to the original pieces. Therefore, if you want to gain market share, you must comply with the relevant standards. And it will inevitably make the relevant enterprises in the internal management, product technology and quality has improved, or that have no ability or fake-oriented enterprises which will be eliminated, so that industrial optimization integration, bring us a healthy and orderly market.

Chinese parts industry is still very fragmented, on how to get rid of the homogenization of competition, to achieve higher quality production, moving to the upper end of the value chain is a key industry to achieve healthy growth. The acquisition includes the acquisition of overseas assets, but also the future of the industry to achieve transformation and upgrading one of the shortcuts.

Since the 2008 economic crisis does not have periodic, so the future is difficult to predict the economic turmoil, the global M & A market is large, Europe and some parts due to the recent bankruptcy, some market share was let out, Chinese parts companies will fill the vacated market share. Through mergers and acquisitions, which undoubtedly will be stationed in parts company more profitable market. Now, auto parts raw materials such as auto repair tools, car decoration, rubber, steel, etc., prices continued to decline, will alleviate cost pressures, increase profitability, auto Parts Company will also constitute a new good. Overall, the parts market integrity prices rise.

 On hearing the "rubber" valley, your mind may imagine a magical rubber plantation in Qingdao city. Came to the valley of rubber, found here is chemical rubber industry ecosystem. There are all kinds of enterprises as the rubber industry’s upstream and downstream, the demand side or the supply side. With the harmony symbiosis, resource sharing, to form the trade, technology, talents, information, culture, service highly clustered industry highlands.

 "Silicon valley" of rubber taking shape

Rubber Valley is to build the gold industry platform with unlimited potential to attract capital from various quarters to pour.

Natural rubber is white and the typical rubber tire is black, while the rubber valley to build a high-tech, low-carbon green "rubber Silicon Valley" for the development of blue Qingdao Economic which will provide a strong backing.

In 2012, China's rubber output value more than 8300 billion Yuan, has become a great nation of rubber supplier. And Qingdao Port throughput of rubber products accounted for 60%. Rubber Valley with climate, geography, and other resources has become an important gathering place for the rubber industry, and Hainan Rubber, soft control shares Sailun shares, binary shares, Germany Lanxess, the United States Cabot, Bekaert more than 160 enterprises has been assigned to the park.

As an industry platform, rubber valley gathered by all kinds of related enterprise of rubber industry, including plastic raw material, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, rubber products, tires, rubber machinery, chemical reagent, electrical and mechanical electronic manufacturing enterprises, and associated with rubber chemical industry’s software development, technology research, engineering design, industry associations, business incubation techniques as well as the service-oriented businesses, and also associated with the industry and trade enterprises.

 Coating industry is very dependent on channels. To some extent, dealers are the God of coating companies. However, coatings industry’s God who is not always glamorous, they also have their own troubles.

We can learn from the market staff that complained of the dealer not only has positive message but also contains negative emotions. These negative emotions include dissatisfaction with the coating manufacturer and bearish on the future, demands for support and so on. They need a channel to pour this negative information, but when the dealer chooses to tell us, it is precisely that the channel is not clear.

This may be most paint companies have done enough place. After all, as China coatings industry, every business are struggling to expand their market territory, thereby also increasing the number of dealers, and some even beyond the enterprise's ability to control range. This will inevitably lead to biased on the care of the channel, leading from the bottom of the poor as well as information channel occlusion.

This may be most coating companies have done not enough on this place. After all, with the development of coating industry in China, every enterprise tried to expand their market territory, and the number of dealers is become more and more and some of them even beyond the capability of the enterprise control. This will inevitably lead to biased on the care of the channel, leading from the bottom of the poor as well as information channel occlusion.

As we all know, the media is actually a good source of information dissemination channels, so dealers are willing to tell about their dissatisfaction to our marketing people, so I guess we have a hope to use a third-party channels to convey their hopes. Unfortunately, some of our enterprises are not willing to communicate with media to convey their dissatisfactions, and they are more accustomed to glorify. 

So there will be a dealers ultimately helpless abandon a brand or an enterprise. For our marketing staff, the dealers drop into this situation is very easy to find. Some of them will ask, which brand has better service for dealers; Or how to do with when the manufacturers let the dealer aside.  

In fact, the dealer with information between manufacturers (especially negative information) gap has caused some of the industry's injury. Because of poor dissemination of information led to mismanagement, some dealers even blamed up the entire paint industry, and ultimately abandoned paint products business, start another line of business to make a living. For the paint industry, which is an intangible loss?

Perhaps the rubber manufacturer have to say: there must also some reasons for their own for mismanagement dealers, and they should not blame crime enterprises entirely. This is certain. But this rebuttal of the manufacturers is precisely real that its channel management has loopholes.

All in all the enterprises should do well for its internal work at ordinary times, and give the best service to the dealers. And keeping the vendor communication channel is smooth.

Except for the coating industry, the organic chemicals industry also needs the good channel.

All along, China's new medical device has a big gap with the developed countries, and most of the devices are low value-added products. In the fierce market competition, medical device companies are likely to soon face a major reshuffle of the situation. In the field of medical devices, some of the major high-end diagnostic equipment has been dependent on imports. Core component technology can not grasp which is one of the difficulties of China's medical instrument industry to upgrade.

Experts said that the country has adopted and implemented the policies and regulations and in order to fundamentally reverse this situation which is urgent. The core for this polices and regulations are to encourage and support national enterprises through technological innovation, grasp the core of advanced medical technology, and start the process of globalization.

Domestic demand for large hospital high-end equipment preparation showed a trend of saturated, slowing growth in demand for high-end medical equipment. And under the background of "medical reform", the rural market has become a transnational company tried to compete for the potential of the market. In order to consolidate and expand its market share in China's medical equipment market, the multinational companies are actively cooperating with Chinese companies or doing localization research and development and other means to low-end market penetration.

Over the past five years there is a steady rise in the number of medical institutions across the country, and this trend has certain stability. In the next few years, there will bring a lot of investment in health infrastructure and medical equipment and instruments as part of the infrastructure will benefit for the whole industry expansion, and the medical equipment manufacturing enterprises will benefit significantly.

The personage inside course of study analysis that China's medical equipment industry will be developed to the direction of higher science and technology, more intelligent, and using the digital technology in the field of other disciplines. Nowadays, the intelligent robot and intelligent development has a big breakthrough, our country will also add high-tech medical instruments in the future.

China's medical equipment industry should accurately grasp the status of competition in the industry characteristics, adopt to the global medical device market trends, foster local enterprises monopoly, as soon as reasonably possible change in production patterns, aim at the potential direction of product development, achieve the whole industry chain of medical equipment transformation and upgrading, which is a high-end medical equipment power charging.

All in all, every company has to try their best to meet the challenge. Except for the medical device company, the disposable medical gloves and condom manufacturer are also meeting the challenge.

 Recently, the China Consumer Association announced the result of 100 models toys’ comparable experimental and it showed that there are some safety hazards abound ,for example, the part of the toy is too small and the rope is too long. Secretary-General of the International Food Packaging Association Dong Jinshi pointed out that parents buy toys for their children, not only base on the appearance, colour, etc., but also paying attention to the small details of toy design. There three aspects can help parents to pick toys for their children.

Pay attention to the length of the rope

Dong Jinshi said in order to prevent children from being injured or strangled by the rope. Therefore, China has specific security technical specifications about the length of rope toys. According to the standards, the pull toys which used by the baby who is under 36 months with an attachment on the ropes length must not exceed 220mm. In the detection of the Consumers Association found that a plastic toys company produces a baby toys with a length of 270mm of ropes and beyond the standard requirements.

Dong Jinshi reminded that many parents prefer to buy the toys for their baby online, and it is difficult to determine whether the toy safety or not. So the parents should pay more attention to their baby when the baby is playing the toys.

The toy should be break-resistant

Most of the toys are made of plastic materials and toys are beating with the growing of your baby, so the break-resistant is also the necessary quality for children’s toys. According to the consumer association, it found that the baby music rattles which is produced by a Toys Industry Company is fragmentation after dropping.

Dong Jinshi pointed that small parts on toys may be swallowed easily and causing suffocation hazard. Therefore, when parents choosing toys for their children, in order to avoid problems during the baby to use they should try to beat in advance and.

"WARNING" font not less than fourth

For safety reasons, there are some strict requirements for children's toys logo and instruction. According to Dong Jinshi, children's toys on the packaging of the "WARNING" and warnings fonts have specific requirements, such as the warnings should be not less than the 5th bold font, and the "Warning" should not be less than the 4th bold font.

  In addition, according to the standard, if the children toys for 37 to 72 months’ children to use contain small parts, there should be warnings. In addition, the toys must be marked on the product name, model number, standard number, for ages, the name of the manufacturer or distributor address. When buying toys, parents should first carefully read the identification information that will help parents to choose toys for children ages, and timely understanding of the safe use of toys to avoid possible injury.

Apart from plastic toys, parents also should be pay attention to the paper toys.
