"The changes in traditional market demand and environmental pressure are the two prominent problems facing the current daily glass industry, and the task of transformation and upgrading is heavy." At the second council meeting of the seventh session of the China Daily Glass Association, Meng Lingyan, the chairman of the association, said that the industry has been growing continuously for 17 years. Although the industry has encountered some difficulties and challenges in development, the trend of continuing to improve has not fundamentally changed.

It is understood that the operation trend of the daily glass industry in 2014 showed a "rise and fall", with an increase in output growth, a decrease in profit growth, and a decrease in the profit margin of main business income. However, the overall operation trend is still in a positive growth range.

The increase in production growth rate is closely related to factors such as cumulative effects and structural adjustments in the consumer market in recent years. The decrease in profit growth and main business revenue profit margin to some extent indicates a decline in product sales prices and an intensification of market competition progress; The various costs of the enterprise have increased, and the profitability has decreased.

The negative growth in export volume is mainly due to the rapid expansion of industry capacity, which leads to fierce competition in export prices; Secondly, the operating costs of enterprises have increased; Thirdly, due to the impact of the financial crisis, enterprises that used to specialize in exports have turned to developing domestic markets.

Meng Lingyan stated that in the first half of this year, the industry situation was more severe than last year. The development of the industry is facing bottlenecks, and the task of transformation and upgrading is arduous. Especially environmental protection issues are related to the survival of industries and enterprises, and we cannot take them lightly or sit idly by.

At present, the industry has an excess of low-level supply, insufficient high-level supply, weak independent innovation ability, weak and scattered, low quality and low price, prominent homogenization problems, structural overcapacity, and increased costs of raw and auxiliary materials and labor, which are important factors affecting the overall economic operation quality and efficiency of the industry.

At the same time, due to the increasingly strengthened constraints of resources and environment, the task of energy conservation and emission reduction is exceptionally difficult. The developed green barriers and strict emission reduction targets in China have led to the dual pressure of energy conservation, emission reduction, and market changes on the industry. Multiple pressures are testing the industry's resilience and adaptability.

Meng Lingyan believes that from the current market situation and policy orientation, especially the overall perspective of environmental protection policies, restraining the expansion of low-level homogeneous production capacity, optimizing product structure, developing personalized products, high value-added products, and improving industry concentration are still urgent tasks facing the industry.

The positive trend remains unchanged

Meng Lingyan candidly stated that the daily glass industry is facing a period of pain, adjustment, and transformation. However, the current problems belong to the growing pains, and the industry is still in a period of strategic opportunities that can make great progress. Daily glass is still one of the industries with development potential, and we need to see the favorable factors for its development.

From the production of 5.66 million tons of daily glass products in 1998, with an output value of 13.77 billion yuan, to the production of 27.999 million tons, with an output value of 166.1 billion yuan in 2014, the industry has achieved 17 consecutive years of positive growth, and the trend of continuing to improve has not fundamentally changed. The per capita annual consumption of daily glass has increased from a few kilograms to over ten kilograms. If the per capita annual consumption increases by another 1-5 kilograms, the market demand will continue to increase significantly.

Meng Lingyan told reporters that daily glass products are diverse in variety, widely used, and have good and reliable chemical stability and barrier properties. They can directly observe the quality of the contents and have no pollution to them. They are recyclable and recyclable pollution-free products, and are recognized as safe, green, and environmentally friendly packaging materials by various countries.

With the popularization of basic characteristics and culture of daily glass, consumers are increasingly aware of glass as a packaging material for food safety. Especially the market for glass beverage bottles, mineral water bottles, grain and oil bottles, storage tanks, fresh milk, yogurt bottles, glass tableware, tea sets, and water utensils is huge. In the past two years, the growth trend of glass beverage bottles has been optimistic, especially the production of Arctic soda in Beijing has tripled and supply is still in short supply, and the same is true for Shanhaiguan soda in Tianjin. The market demand for glass food storage containers is also bullish. Data shows that in 2014, the daily production of glass products and glass packaging containers reached 27.9986 million tons, an increase of 40.47% compared to 2010, with an average annual growth of 8.86%.

Accelerate transformation and upgrading

Meng Lingyan stated that this year is the year after the 12th Five Year Plan, and during the 13th Five Year Plan period, the daily glass industry will play a more important role in low-carbon, green, environmentally friendly, and circular economic development.

At the meeting, Zhao Wanbang, Secretary General of the China Daily Glass Association, released the "Thirteenth Five Year Plan Development Guidelines for the Daily Glass Industry (Draft for Comments)".

The Opinion proposes to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode and improve the level of industry technological progress during the 13th Five Year Plan period. Vigorously developing lightweight manufacturing technology for glass bottles and cans; Develop energy-saving and environmentally friendly glass furnaces in accordance with relevant standards and specifications for glass furnace design; Vigorously develop the recycling and reuse of waste (broken) glass, improve the quality of waste (broken) glass processing and batch preparation, and enhance the level of comprehensive resource utilization.

Continue to implement industry access and promote industrial structural upgrading. Standardize investment behavior in the daily glass industry, curb blind investment and low-level redundant construction, and eliminate outdated production capacity. Strictly restrict the construction of new insulation bottle projects, and strictly control the construction of daily glass production projects in the central and eastern regions and areas with relatively concentrated production capacity. New production projects must meet the production scale, production conditions, technology and equipment level specified in the admission conditions, and implement energy-saving and emission reduction measures.

Transforming product structure to meet market demand. Based on the upgrading trend of domestic consumer demand, we will vigorously develop lightweight glass bottles and cans, brown beer bottles, neutral medicinal glass, high borosilicate heat-resistant glass utensils, high-end glassware, crystal glass products, glass art pieces, lead-free crystalline glass, special varieties of glass, etc., increase variety and variety, improve product added value, and meet the demand for glass packaging products in downstream industries such as food, brewing, and medicine.

Vigorously develop auxiliary pigment manufacturing industries such as glass machinery, glass mold manufacturing, refractory material manufacturing, glaze, pigment, etc. Focus on developing electronic servo row type bottle making machines, glassware presses, blow machines, pressure blow machines, glass packaging equipment, online testing equipment, etc. to improve the level of daily glass equipment; Develop glass molds with new quality materials, high processing accuracy, and long service life; Develop high-quality refractory materials and furnace building materials for energy-saving and environmentally friendly glass kilns and electric melting furnaces for daily use; Develop environmentally friendly, low-temperature glass glaze, pigments and other auxiliary materials and additives; Develop a computer control system for the production process of daily glass. Strengthen the coordination and cooperation between daily glass production enterprises and supporting enterprises, and jointly promote the improvement of industry technology and equipment level.

At the meeting, the China Daily Glass Association also commended the "Top 10 Enterprises in China's Daily Glass Industry", "Heroes in China's Daily Glass Industry", and "Representative of China's Second Generation Show in the Daily Glass Industry".
