The component industry faces the challenge of transformation [Copy link]

The 19th Top 100 Electronic Components Enterprises of 2006 ranked by comprehensive strength were announced recently. The sales revenue of this year's Top 100 Electronic Components Enterprises was 84.26 billion yuan in 2005 , a net increase of 10.62 billion yuan over the previous year , a year-on-year increase of 14.42% .

While the new top 100 component companies continue to grow, there is a phenomenon that deserves our attention: Guangdong Fenghua High-Tech, Futong Group and others have negative growth in total profits, and their comprehensive strength ranking lags far behind their sales revenue ranking.

Enterprises are the epitome of the industry. Although my country has become a major producer of electronic components, with the output of many products ranking among the top in the world, and gradually occupying an important link in the global electronic component supply chain, how to grow from big to strong, how to improve profitability, build core competitiveness, prevent profit decline, and achieve sustained, stable and rapid growth have always been urgent issues facing the development of the industry.

Mainly targeting the traditional home appliance and communication markets, and mainly focusing on low-end and medium-end products, my country's electronic component industry is in a difficult situation of being squeezed from both ends and shrinking profit margins. Some experts believe that in response to this situation, electronic component companies must take measures such as improving management and strengthening cost control, but the most fundamental thing is to explore emerging markets, adjust product structure, and achieve industrial transformation.

This industrial transformation includes two aspects: one is the transformation to emerging markets, and the other is the transformation to green and lead-free.

The continuous growth of China's new consumer electronic product markets such as mobile phones, digital TVs, flat-panel TVs, digital cameras, and MP3s has attracted global attention. In these emerging market areas, although China's electronic component companies lag behind in technology, they also have the advantage of being close to the market and easy to understand user needs. Enterprises should improve their innovation capabilities as soon as possible, accelerate the research and development of new components with independent intellectual property rights, make breakthroughs in core technologies and patents, and enhance the value of electronic components in the process of creating value for the entire machine.

The WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive approved by the EU meeting on July 1 this year will be implemented, and China's "Measures for the Management of Pollution Control of Electronic Information Products" will also be implemented in March next year . With the increasingly stringent global green regulations, the electronic component industry, which is at the upstream of the electronic manufacturing industry chain and accounts for 50% of the export market, has become more urgent to transform to lead-free manufacturing. In the wave of lead-free, Chinese electronic component companies stand at the same starting point as international companies. If they can seize the opportunity of lead-free and find processes and formulas that meet lead-free requirements, they will have an opportunity to upgrade their industry in this reshuffle.

The transformation to emerging markets and lead-free is the only way for my country's electronic component industry to become stronger, and it is also the key to enhancing the core competitiveness of my country's electronic equipment manufacturing industry.
