At the beginning of this year, the price of cold-rolled oriented silicon steel sheets for transformer production through the main channel has increased from 12,000 to 13,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of 2004 to 32,000 to 33,000 yuan/ton. The phenomenon of "no price and no market". The current market listing price is 42,000 to 43,000 yuan / ton.
According to the more conservative algorithm, the increase in more than a year has exceeded 200%. The soaring prices of raw materials have caused transformer manufacturers to be in trouble. Some key enterprises have already experienced the situation of short-selling capacity, showing the embarrassing situation of losing one.
Source of madness: domestic silicon steel sheet highlights 100,000 tons of gap
According to the market survey results of relevant departments, although the current international demand for cold-rolled oriented silicon steel sheet has increased, it is still in a basic balance between supply and demand, with both output and demand of around 1.5 million tons. From the perspective of domestic supply and demand, there is a gap of about 100,000 tons (only WISCO has an annual output of 127,500 tons, imports of about 280,000 tons, and domestic demand of about 500,000 tons). Although both WISCO and Baosteel are striving to increase new production capacity, they will have the effect at the end of next year and there is no hope of increasing production this year. Therefore, the way to resolve the gap this year and even in the first half of next year is still to expand imports.
Since the end of last year, the source of the price of silicon steel has risen from the domestic market. The ex-factory price of WISCO rose from about 10,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to 27,000 to 28,000 yuan/ton at the end of the year, an increase of nearly 200%. Since then, it has risen to 32,000 to 33,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of this year. Coupled with the help of middlemen, the market price has now exceeded 40,000 yuan/ton. It is precisely because of the skyrocketing domestic prices that international prices have followed suit.
Countermeasure suggestion: government, industry, and enterprises join hands
The price hike is waiting for the country to intervene. At present, the cost of silicon steel sheet is about 0.8 million to 10,000 yuan / ton, and the ex-factory price of 30,000 yuan / ton or more is obviously unacceptable to users. Therefore, the state price management department should intervene and limit the ex-factory price of the steel sheet that has been out of control. This is an effective means to curb price increases from the source and fundamentally, and is also a necessary measure to save China's transformer industry. At the same time, it is recommended that the state material reserve department use the reserve forces to participate in the regulation and control, in order to stabilize the current irrational price fluctuation phenomenon in the supply and marketing of the Handan Iron and Steel.
Open up direct channels to combat speculation. The current key work should be to unblock and expand the direct supply channels for the production and demand of Handan Iron and Steel, reduce intermediate links, and curb speculation such as hoarding and excessive speculation. It is feasible to establish a direct supply channel through consultation and communication between major producers and major users of Handan Iron and Steel. This will not only reduce the intermediate links, but also reduce the purchase cost of the purchaser. It will also help to curb commercial speculation such as layering, hoarding and excessive speculation caused by excessive circulation.
With the importer as the link and the main domestic users, the group's purchasing advantage is formed. Due to the current domestic production capacity, the main way to solve the gap in the domestic steel sheet still depends on imports. Therefore, the major enterprises in the transformer industry should consult with the main importer, Minmetals Group, to form a purchasing group based on the importer and relying on the backbone transformer factory.
This will not only help to save procurement costs, reduce procurement costs, but also leverage the group's procurement advantages to increase the right to speak in negotiations with foreign investors. The facts show that the form of supply and demand direct supply and group procurement is a win-win situation for both domestic producers, importers and users.
Strengthen supervision and inspection to promote self-discipline. In the process of sharply increasing the price of the silicon steel sheet, although the cost of the backbone enterprise of the transformer industry has soared, and even a large loss has occurred, the sales price of the product is difficult to increase. On the one hand, because the previous contract is a closed contract, the user does not agree to raise the price; on the other hand, there is indeed a corporate behavior within the transformer industry that is counterfeit, shoddy, shoddy, and old. These individual companies are not responsible for the quality of the products, even using the old transformers for recycling, dismantling the used silicon steel sheets, and using the transformers with extremely low production costs to compete with the regular production plants.
The transformer produced in this way must have potential safety hazards. If used by users, it will pose a serious threat to the safety of transmission and distribution systems. For those enterprises that produce counterfeit products to disrupt the market economic order, they must pass strict supervision and inspection to make them have no place to survive. Therefore, it is recommended that the national quality department can authorize the National Transformer Quality Supervision and Inspection Center to carry out this work in order to further standardize the production order of the transformer industry. Transformer manufacturers should also strengthen self-discipline, relying on brands, relying on quality, relying on technological progress, relying on services, relying on integrity to enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises, win customers and win the market.
