Analysis of current situation of wire rope in the world
The first steel wire rope came out in 1834, marking the origin of the metal wire products industry in the world- The development of the industry has gone through nearly 180 years.
The production of steel wire rope in China started in the 1930s and 1940s, and began to carry out planned development and layout in the 1950s and 1960s. It achieved a large-span development in the 1970s and 1980s, and has undergone continuous adjustment, improvement and improvement in the 1990s. With the continuous improvement of technology and equipment level, the continuous change of product structure and the continuous optimization of product quality, China’s wire rope industry has made remarkable achievements, and the domestic wire rope market has been expanding. According to statistics, during the seven years from 2005 to 2011, the output of steel wire rope increased by 11.2% on average. The output of steel wire rope in 2011 reached 1.84 million tons, 1.9 times that of 2005.
In the world, based on the advantages of labor cost and other aspects, the production focus of the world wire rope industry has been shifting to Asia, especially China. At present, the output of China’s wire rope industry has remained strong, and the export volume has long been the first in the world.
In recent years, the investment scale and target output of domestic steel wire rope enterprises have increased rapidly, and the general steel wire rope industry is facing the pressure of oversupply, and the homogenization competition of steel wire rope enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce. In the field of special steel wire rope, some domestic leading steel wire rope enterprises adopt the differentiation strategy and focus on the development of market segments. By optimizing the product structure and increasing the research and development of new products, they are developing in the direction of high technology content, high cost performance, high service life and compaction, plastic filling, plastic wrapping, special-shaped and composite structure steel wire rope. In the different subdivisions of special steel wire ropes such as elevators, aviation, large-scale hoisting, busy hoisting, mine hoisting, ships and offshore facilities, some advanced enterprises with production and operation characteristics, technological research and development advantages and market resources gradually show their advantages.
