The bearing industry is big but not strong

Bearings are strategic materials for the national economy and are key components of the equipment manufacturing industry. With the application of mechanization and automation, the use of bearings has increased. At present, China’s bearings have formed a large economic scale. In 2010, the industry’s bearing output was 15 billion sets, and the sales volume was 126 billion yuan, ranking the world’s largest. three.

Although China's bearing industry has a large scale of development, most of them are concentrated at the low end. Due to the contradictions and problems in development methods, industrial structure, independent innovation and brand building, there is still a large gap between the high-end fields and developed countries. . China's bearing industry is large but not strong, and there is still a big gap with the world's bearing power.

The "12th Five-Year Plan for Development of Mechanical Basic Parts, Basic Manufacturing Processes and Basic Materials Industry" clearly states that high-speed, precision, and heavy-load bearings and other mechanical basic parts with strong stimuli and large radiation effects should be taken as the "12th Five-Year Plan" development. The key industries are focused on improving performance, reliability and longevity, and strive to bring them at or near the international advanced level. It also pointed out that with the support of the policy, by 2015, the bearing industry's sales will reach 222 billion yuan, and the industry's average annual growth rate will be between 12%-15%, including high-speed, precision, heavy-duty and other high-end bearings. The speed will be faster. To achieve this growth rate, the bearing industry must undergo a transformation and upgrading, and upgrade its technology, product quality, and brand image.

Improve independent innovation

The lack of endogenous driving force and vitality of independent innovation is a problem that exists in most of our country's enterprises. The reconstruction of a technological innovation system is imminent. With the combination of enterprises as the mainstay, the market as the direction, and the combination of production, study, and research, the introduction of external intelligence will enable companies to truly become investment in research and development. The main body of technological innovation activities and the application of innovation results will fully enhance the independent innovation capability of China's bearing industry.

Strengthen the brand image construction

Bearing companies in China are all concerned with brand building, but branding, design, and management are not very standardized. Good brands are not evaluated. The advanced nature of product technology content and quality indicators is the core competitiveness of brands. Therefore, companies should Strengthen quality control, strictly monitor the entire process of production preparation, manufacturing, delivery and use, ensure the physical quality of products, and lay a foundation for brand building.

Industry organizations and other organizations should guide and help enterprises improve their quality management systems and measurement and inspection systems according to high standards and high requirements, and form a long-term mechanism for quality assurance.
