Do not repeat investment in the construction of low-end film products to prevent the abuse of emerging film industries

January 22

membrane industry is a new industry developed in recent ten years. As it is a strategic emerging industry, membrane industry has attracted a large amount of investment. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of China's membrane industry has reached 25% ~ 30%. There are hundreds of manufacturers of ultrafiltration membranes and microfiltration membranes for water treatment alone. The middle and low-end microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes have already shown signs of surplus. At the same time, some high-end products that are generally optimistic are also overheated.

China Membrane Industry Association calls for stopping the repeated construction and investment of low-end and medium-end membrane products, and at the same time, strengthening industry self-discipline should be taken as a top priority to prevent the abuse of strategic emerging membrane industries.

According to You Jinde, secretary general of China Membrane Industry Association, the membrane industry has attracted a large amount of investment because it is a strategic emerging industry. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of China's membrane industry has reached 25% ~ 30%. There are only hundreds of manufacturers of ultrafiltration membranes and microfiltration membranes for water treatment, and the low-end microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes have already appeared in excess. At present, China has more than 90 manufacturers of lithium battery separators for new energy, with a planned annual output of 0. 8 billion square meters, while the current global demand for this product is about 3. 0. 5 billion square meters, of which China's demand is only more than 0. 1 billion square meters. It is estimated that the global demand will reach 0. 5 billion square meters by 2015. In other words, China's current planned capacity of lithium battery separators has reached 1. 5% of the global demand in 2015. 6 times. In spite of this, lithium battery separators produced in China are still at the low-end level, and lithium battery manufacturers need a large number of imported high-end film products.

The reporter learned that the membrane industry has not yet formed a unified management and regulation, and the production equipment capacity of enterprises is quite different, some new entry companies do not have product standards and testing methods, resulting in uneven product quality in the market and market confusion. In addition, the blind development of some low-end film products has caused excessive market supply and vicious competition.

In this regard, You Jinde said that although the membrane industry is a strategic emerging industry encouraged by the state, it is still unable to meet the needs of national economic development and needs to be vigorously developed, however, this does not mean that we must support the new projects of enterprises, but should avoid the repeated construction of low-end production capacity and the construction of some products, we will support enterprises to develop new high-end separation membrane projects with characteristics that are urgently needed by the state and vigorously research and develop high-end membrane products with international competitiveness, and guide enterprises to turn their attention to improving product quality and performance, in-depth study of the application of products in downstream fields.

You Jinde also stressed that membrane products have very important particularity, because they are not only used in water treatment for ordinary people's daily life, it is also widely used in food processing, medicine and medical products, which is directly related to people's health and has high public attention. Therefore, quality is the lifeline of membrane products, and ensuring quality is very important.

Yu Jinde suggested that in order to ensure good product quality, the membrane industry should carry out the work of standardizing market order, strengthening industry self-discipline and implementing qualification management for the production and sales enterprises of membrane products, which is also the top priority of the membrane industry at this stage.

This requires membrane enterprises to establish and improve product standards, membrane production enterprises should have a perfect production quality management system, equipped with corresponding levels of technical personnel, and have relevant core equipment capabilities (Especially the product quality testing capability)Wait. In addition, the film industry is called upon to set up a special national-level film product testing agency.
