This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China. After 70 years of hard work, our country has undergone tremendous changes. Whether in the history of the Chinese nation or in the history of the world, this is a moving struggle epic.

How to strive for a new era?

China's bearing industry, from scratch, has only 40 years to start, far behind the advanced western countries. With the development of the society, the domestic bearing manufacturing technology has been gradually integrated with the international standards in terms of types and specifications, and the production line is also relatively comprehensive. However, due to the late start, China's bearing industry is obviously behind the international advanced level. Although the export volume is large, it is dominated by low-end products and a large number of high-end bearings are imported.

Since the 1980s, the world's large-scale bearing companies began to invest and set up factories in China to expand sales. Domestic enterprises also received orders for primary products from major bearing companies, which were dependent on foreign investors.

As an emerging market of bearings, China's bearing industry has developed rapidly in recent years, forming a large scale. In 2012, China produced 17 billion sets of bearings, with main business income of 132 billion yuan, about 21.5 billion US dollars, becoming the second largest bearing production country in the world. However, Harbin Bearing Group Co., Ltd., Wafangdian Bearing Group Co., Ltd., Luoyang LYC bearing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "ha, WA, Luo") and other top 10 domestic large bearing enterprises have a bearing sales volume of about 27.2 billion yuan, accounting for only 20.63% of the whole industry, and the production concentration of the top 30 enterprises is only 37%, with low industrial concentration and low product quality. The main reasons are: ① the original Because of the problems of system and mechanism, the development of large state-owned enterprises is relatively slow; ② the advantages of private enterprises are still in the growth stage; ③ the low-level repeated construction, the industry sites are too scattered, and the general low-end bearing has excess capacity. In 2014, the sales volume of the top 10 bearing enterprises was about 31.557 billion yuan, accounting for only 19.14% of the main business income of the national bearing industry. In 2014, the main business income of the national bearing industry was 164.9 billion yuan, up 7.43% year on year; in 2015, the main business income of the national bearing industry was 156 billion yuan, down 5% year on year. In 2020, the target output will reach 22.5 billion sets, and the main business income will reach 192 billion yuan.

From the income scale and growth rate of the domestic bearing industry, it can be seen that since 15 years ago, the income scale of the domestic bearing industry has been expanding, and the growth rate of business income has continued to increase, maintaining a good momentum of growth. The improvement of gross profit rate and net profit rate comes from the improvement of enterprise management efficiency, and more from the development of high-end market by domestic bearing enterprises to strive for higher profits, rather than just the low-profit processors in the middle and low-end industries.

Development of automobile bearing

Bearing products are widely used. According to the matching type of the main engine, it can be divided into automobile bearing, electrical bearing, machine tool bearing, home appliance bearing, railway bearing, metallurgical mine machinery bearing, engineering machinery bearing, petrochemical machinery bearing, wind power bearing, agricultural machinery bearing, etc. Among them, the automobile industry is the largest application market of bearing products in China at present, accounting for about 30% according to the demand quantity.

China's management of auto parts industry and bearing industry follows the market-oriented development mode of market regulation management system, and adopts the combination of government macro-control and industry self-discipline.

Since the 21st century, China's automobile industry has developed rapidly. In 2001, China's automobile production and sales volume was only more than 2 million. After years of rapid growth, in 2016, the automobile production and sales volume was 28.1188 million and 28.0282 million, with a year-on-year growth of 14.46% and 13.65%, including 24.4207 million and 24.3769 million passenger cars, with a year-on-year growth of 15.50% and 14.93%. With the support of national policies, the improvement of people's living standards and the development of rural economy, it is expected that China's automobile industry will take a long time in the future

It will maintain the growth trend and drive the growth of automobile bearing demand. In recent years, the rapid development of the automobile industry has also greatly improved the car ownership in China. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the number of civil cars in China reached 194 million at the end of 2016. The scale of the automobile after-sales market is also growing, which will also drive the growth of automobile bearing demand.

At present, each car uses about 50 sets of bearings on average. With the continuous development of Internet and intelligence, more and more bearings will be used. According to the development plan of China's automobile industry and the export of automobile bearings, by 2020, the market of automobile bearings in China should be around 35-40 billion yuan.

With the rapid development of automobile parts industry in recent years, the product R & D capacity and production technology level have been greatly improved compared with the past, and a group of enterprises with certain development and design capacity and high production technology level have formed. At present, China's auto parts enterprises basically meet the needs of high-speed development of auto production and maintenance services; basically have the development and production capacity of commercial vehicles and low-end passenger car parts; have the introduction and digestion capacity of high-end passenger car parts. However, compared with the international advanced level, there is a big gap in the consistency, dynamic performance and life reliability of domestic bearings.

Bearing as "mechanical joint"

Bearing is an important part of modern mechanical equipment. Its main function is to support the mechanical rotating body, reduce the friction coefficient in the process of its movement, and ensure its rotation accuracy. It is called "mechanical joint", which is an indispensable foundation in modern mechanical equipment.

High standard of high-end bearing industry, good market prospect

The application fields of high-end bearings mainly include aviation, aerospace, high-speed railway, precision machine tools, high-end automobiles, etc. The performance of high-end bearings should meet or exceed the required quality indicators, especially the key indicators should have high consistency and stability. For example, in order to meet the requirements of high temperature resistance, high thrust, high speed, high reliability and durability, the aero-engine main shaft bearing needs to be made of ultra pure high-speed alloy steel with manufacturing accuracy above P4 (Note: the bearing is generally divided into five tolerance grades of Po, P6, P5, P4 and P2, and the accuracy is from low to high).

With the development of aviation, aerospace, high-speed railway, precision machine tools, high-end automobile and other downstream industries, the demand for high-end bearings will increase greatly. According to the 13th five year plan, China will "accelerate the development of large-scale aircraft", and promote the construction of major aerospace projects from manned spacecraft, space station, moon and Mars exploration, earth observation, space science, Beidou satellite navigation and other aspects; by 2020, the national railway business mileage will reach 150000 kilometers, of which 30000 kilometers will be high-speed railway, which will also increase the number of high-speed railway trains. Output: the SUV market for high-end vehicles continues to be hot, and new energy vehicles have also received good policy support. The output of high-end vehicles will reach a growth rate of 5% - 7%.

In recent years, the total sales volume of bearings in the Chinese market has reached nearly 280 billion, while the Chinese market only accounts for 10% of the world market, which is smaller than the developed economies such as the United States, Japan and the European Union. The sales volume of bearings in the global market is more than two trillion, and the market capacity is very considerable.
