After years of development, the FRP grating has changed from a new type of material to a general-purpose material. In the competition with traditional materials (metal, stone, wood, concrete, etc.), the FRP industry has continued to grow and develop.
Development characteristics
1. Large-scale and integrated products: large-scale cooling towers, chimneys, wind turbine blades, large-diameter sand-filled FRP pipes, etc., all reflect the characteristics of large-scale products in the FRP industry. The enlargement and integration of FRP gratings is a requirement for technological advancement in various fields in the industry, and it is also one of the effective ways to improve production efficiency and quality and reduce costs for FRP products (GRP gratings);
2. Technology precision and quality stabilization: With the increasing competition in the market, customers have put forward higher requirements on the inherent quality requirements and surface processing of FRP products. It turns out that precision-processed, stable-quality FRP gratings More competitive advantage;
3. High-speed production efficiency, large-scale production and low cost: These three factors are inevitable requirements for the survival and development of the FRP industry. Only by achieving high-speed, large-scale production and low cost can we better work with traditional materials. Competition, in order to better popularize the application of FRP gratings, and expand the FRP industry.
Development Opportunities
In today's vigorous promotion of energy conservation and environmental protection, the FRP industry is facing a good opportunity for overall improvement and rapid development. In recent years, with the gradual improvement of the market economy, China's FRP industry has shown a momentum of leaps and bounds, with an annual growth rate of 3-4 times that of the national economy. In 2000, the total output of FRP reached the highest level in history, and its output exceeded that of Japan, ranking second in the world. At the same time, on the basis of the enhancement of the overall strength of domestic large-scale enterprises and some township and village enterprises and the continuous improvement of product technology content, some joint ventures have high starting points and advanced technology, which also enhance the overall level of China's FRP industry.
face the challenge
At present, the development of the FRP grating industry faces two major challenges: raw material prices and strict rules and regulations. The high price of raw materials is a major challenge for the FRP industry. The rise in oil prices and the rate of economic growth exceed the investment rate of raw materials and equipment, making the main raw materials for resin production limited, so that price growth throughout the entire value chain, resulting in reduced gross profit, reduced demand, resulting in a significant impact on the profitability of the entire value chain. The increasingly strict rules and regulations are another major challenge facing the FRP industry. The government is paying more and more attention to safety, health and environmental construction. Increases in media coverage and increased public awareness have led to increased production costs, reduced gross margins, or reduced competitiveness, which has greatly affected yields.
