Jia Yinsong, inspector of the Raw Materials Department of the former Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Su Changyong, deputy secretary of the China Steel Association, Li Yongquan, president of the China Refractory Industry Association, Yangquan Municipal Government, Mianchi County Government and relevant department leaders of Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology were invited to the meeting. Jin Qinguo, President of Henan Refractory Materials Association, Zhang Guodong, President of Liaoning Non metallic Mining Industry Association, Zhang Jiming, President of Shandong Refractory Materials Industry Association, Feng Jianming, President of Shanxi Refractory Materials Industry Association, Yao Lingchun, President of Zhejiang Refractory Materials Industry Association, and Cheng Niansheng, President of Guizhou Refractory Materials Industry Association, jointly presided over the meeting.
Li Yongquan warmly congratulated the forum on behalf of the China Refractory Industry Association during his speech. He analyzed the current national economic situation and the industry situation of refractory materials, and made prospects for the future development of the industry. In a complex and severe macro context, the refractory material industry is facing a complex situation of weakened market demand, high raw fuel costs, a significant decrease in regional contracting prices, an increase in accounts receivable, and a significant decline in corporate profits. In the current situation where market demand is no longer increasing, capacity governance and joint restructuring in the refractory material industry will be key measures for stabilizing the industry and crossing the cycle in the next step. The refractory material industry should closely monitor the new changes in the development mode and pattern of the steel industry, actively adapt to the new needs of green and low-carbon development in the steel industry, promote and complement each other with high-temperature industries such as steel, form a common harmonious value chain, work together to guide and strengthen the self-discipline development of the industry, and actively advocate the new development concept of "industry interests above enterprise interests", Encourage the adjustment of market structure through technological innovation and progress, encourage and guide asset restructuring in the industry, and further enhance industrial concentration.
When presiding over the meeting, Jin Qinguo mentioned that the refractory material industry is currently in a difficult period, but is facing a good development environment. This year, Henan Province has removed the "two high" hat from the refractory material industry. The main production areas include Xinmi, Gongyi, and Shangjie in Zhengzhou, Yichuan in Luoyang, Mianchi, Shaanzhou and other counties and cities in Sanmenxia, and the suburbs of Yangquan and Xiaoyi in Shanxi, Relevant departments of local governments such as Qingzhen in Guizhou attach great importance to the development of the industry, study the industrial development, issue relevant policies, and formulate a three-year action plan for 2023-2025 or a long-term development plan for 2023-2030, which provides a good environment for the development of the industry. However, it should be noted that currently, there are still problems in industries and enterprises, such as low concentration and thin profits, insufficient investment in transformation and research and development funds, outdated concepts of market collaboration and division of labor and cooperation among enterprises based on capital, market, technology, and unique advantages in segmented fields, insufficient technological innovation capabilities, and the lack of a system for efficient research and development of key common technologies in industry, university, and research. These need to be studied, Especially in the policy environment where governments in major refractory production areas attach great importance to the development of the industry, industry enterprises should think rationally, not blindly expand the production capacity of homogeneous products, and carefully study how to achieve differentiated and distinctive development in different regions and enterprises, how to comprehensively improve the level of automatic intelligent digital equipment, how to continue technological innovation, research and develop new technologies, new solutions, and new materials, and assist the national high-temperature industry in energy conservation and emission reduction. Through 3-5 years of efforts, we aim to comprehensively improve the industry and achieve green, low-carbon, and high-quality development.
