“Now, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other major areas of export enterprises a loss of 100% appears high; 30% of the enterprise production; 50% of the enterprise intends to relocate his factories in India, Vietnam, and that this situation continues, China’s lead-acid batteries will face the collapse of the export situation. “China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association Secretary-General of the Iraqi branch of lead-acid batteries currently Xiaobo frequent letter from the Department of Public Works, Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Commerce and other related departments, to reflect the prominent issues facing the industry.
By the financial crisis, the second half of 2008 all the way domestic raw material market crash, international buyers cancellation, breach of contract, destroy a single constant, to the lead-acid battery industry a severe blow. As the lead-acid battery is a labor-intensive industries, a large number of enterprise production, production caused by unemployment and closure of a large number of staff. Industry-wide layoffs the average 40% ~ 50%, the total number is expected to reach 20 million people. “The basic retrenched migrant workers are, their life is very worrying.” Guangdong person in charge of a company to do that.
With the employment situation deteriorating, Xiaobo Iraq has been reflected in the Department of Public Works letter attention. Recently, the Public Works Department of Energy Saving and Comprehensive Utilization of the letter the Secretary to convene a forum of lead-acid battery industry, analysis of the current of the outstanding problems facing the industry and policy bottlenecks, research lead-acid battery industry’s measures to deal with the crisis.
The participants consider that the outstanding problems facing the industry is high cost. Branch of lead-acid batteries to the data provided by RMB appreciation led to the production cost increased by 18%; the abolition of 13% of export tax rebates, increasing 17% VAT, so the cost has increased by 14%; 30% higher than the international price of lead, resulting in rising costs 18%. These factors resulted in the cost of Chinese products than any other country than 50%.
The view was expressed that as the world economic recovery and solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, such as the development and utilization of natural energy and electric vehicle industries, lead-acid batteries as a safe, voltage bandwidth, low prices depletion of natural resources and energy products will usher in a broad development space.
For promoting the development of the industry, it was suggested that the relevant recommendations: First, lead-acid batteries to the processing trade export tax rebate to 15%; valve-regulated sealed lead-acid batteries to the export tax rebate to 13%; ordinary lead-acid batteries to the export tax rebate to 9%. Second, lead-acid battery industry will be the withdrawal of “two high-1 capital” restrictive industry expansion in the enterprise by giving some financial support. Three are to be sealed valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, wind energy lead-acid battery, gel lead-acid batteries and other high-tech content, non-polluting products included in the national policy support products.
I understand that the day of the forum, the above proposal has been the Department of Public Works letter Secretary of Energy Saving and Comprehensive Utilization of the initial accreditation.
