The website of the Industry Coordination Department of the National Development and Reform Commission announced on August 12 that in the first half of 2013, the production and operation of the non-ferrous metal industry maintained a steady growth trend, but the price was still in a downward trend. Overcapacity and economic efficiency decline remained the main problems facing the industry. First, production has grown steadily. From January to June, the output of 10 non-ferrous metals in China was 19.47 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 10%. Among them, copper, aluminum, lead and zinc were 3.23 million tons, 10.58 million tons, 2.27 million tons and 2.57 million tons, respectively, up 12.8%, 8%, 12.4% and 9.1%.
Second, the economic benefits have declined. From January to May, 8131 large-scale non-ferrous metal industrial enterprises across the country achieved a revenue of 180.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.6%, a profit of 48.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 7.3%, and a sales profit margin of 2.7%.
Third, the investment growth rate fell. From January to June, China's non-ferrous metal industry completed a fixed asset investment of 284.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.3%, but the growth rate dropped by 3.3 percentage points year on year. Among them, investment in processing projects increased, up 44.5% year-on-year, and investment in aluminum smelting projects slowed down, down 8.5% year-on-year.
Fourth, the price shocks down. In June, the average price of copper, aluminum, lead and zinc in the domestic market was about 51,600 yuan/ton, 14,700 yuan/ton, 13,900 yuan/ton and 14,800 yuan/ton, down 6%, 9% and 10% respectively. And 3%, the domestic non-ferrous metal market prices showed a low volatility downward trend.
5. Imports and exports have declined. From January to June, China's main non-ferrous metal imports amounted to 48.9 billion U.S. dollars, down 8.7% year-on-year, and exports were 13.9 billion U.S. dollars, down 3.8% year-on-year. From the perspective of products, imports of smelting products such as copper, aluminum and lead have declined, and imports of copper concentrates, bauxite, laterite nickel ore and other mineral products continue to grow.
In the first half of 2013, there were some new problems that need to be paid attention to in the operation of non-ferrous metals industry. First, the industrial structure is not reasonable. The non-ferrous metal industry is “large in the middle and small in both endsâ€. The smelting capacity is excessive, the resource guarantee capacity is insufficient, and the added value is high. There is a shortage of processed products and dependence on imports. Second, there are still a number of newly-built electrolytic aluminum projects in the western region. The problem of overcapacity in electrolytic aluminum is still outstanding. At the same time, due to factors such as rising electricity prices and falling prices, the consequences of overcapacity appear, and the electrolytic aluminum industry Faced with a serious loss situation; Third, the situation of bauxite imports subject to people is further aggravated, which has a greater impact on the development of the aluminum industry; fourth, the international trade dispute has intensified, and the export of non-ferrous metal products has become more difficult.
In order to promote the healthy and orderly development of the non-ferrous metal industry, in the second half of 2013, the key tasks of the development of non-ferrous metals industry should be more focused on: First, strictly control the total amount, and effectively do a good job of resolving overcapacity. The second is to strengthen the development of new materials for non-ferrous metals and expand the application of deep-processing products. The third is to increase the development of domestic and overseas resources and improve the capacity of resources. The fourth is to promote technological progress in enterprises and promote energy conservation and emission reduction. The fifth is to actively use the rules of international trade to deal with trade frictions.
