Introduction: With the rapid development of the Internet, networking, broadband China strategy gradually fall, as the main carrier of communication network, optical fiber and cable industry in China ushered in rapid development. However, due to the aggravation of the market competition, overcapacity situation of fiber optic cable is an indisputable fact, so how about the status of Chinese optical fiber and cable industry, what are the crux of the problem, and the way?
With the vigorous development of the Internet network, networking, broadband Chinese strategy gradually fall, as the communication infrastructure network The main carrier in China optical fiber and cable Industry ushered in rapid development. However, due to the aggravation of the market competition, Optical fiber optical cableOvercapacity is an indisputable fact, so how about the status of Chinese optical fiber and cable industry, what are the crux of the problem, and the way? In May 10th, the reporter an exclusive interview with the founder of the main optical fiber communication technology in China, consultant of Wuhan Institute of science and advanced technology known as the father of China fiber, Zhao Zisen China Academy of engineering and related industry responsible person.
Academician Zhao Zisen
The status quo: fiber than the noodles cheap situation is not optimistic
According to the market research firm CRU released a report earlier, the global fiber optic cable shipments will more than 300 million core km, demand more than 285 million cable core km. This will lead to serious excess capacity, which has brought the phenomenon of irrational market price competition shoddy.
Compared to the year 1 to May, our turnover by at least 30%. Is located in Guangzhou City, Tianhe District Zhongshan Avenue Guangzhou Jingming cable limited company responsible Chen Mingdong told reporters that the domestic market of fiber loss company is far more than that, the vicious competition, domestic optical fiber and cable enterprise low price, resulting in a drop in product quality, make the most of the companies do not have profit margins, led directly to the domestic optical fiber and cable market confusion.
Our sales of fiber is larger than the United States, the first level of optical technology in the United States, Japan second, third Chinese. Zhao Zisen told reporters, the status quo of Chinas optical fiber whether annual sales or technical level, has maintained a leading international. However, with the domestic demand for optical fiber optical fiber cable market is lower, further expand production capacity, excess capacity is an indisputable fact. The optical fibre and cable enterprises are facing a severe test of survival.
Chinese face big problem is fiber overcapacity, including Wuhan, Shanghai, Suzhou and other developed markets such as fiber. Academician Zhao Zisen also said that at present, fiber market development fast and cheap in the China, some fiber or even sold for a few cents a really eye popping price meters. He told reporters the image of the metaphor, a noodle of the same length and an optical fiber is also cheaper than actually noodles.
The Crux: enterprise vicious and disorderly competition malicious deposit tricky
The direct embodiment of overcapacity, is that many manufacturers in order to deal with inventory, would rather sell loss. Chen Mingdong said in an interview with reporters, between domestic optical fiber and cable enterprises malicious, disorderly competition there is actually a lot of tricky. For example, many construction units do the budget in the number of tricks to demand reporting, fiber optic cable after the completion of the remaining price reselling off, and the purchase of such goods recycling price and sometimes even less than the market price of 1/3. This will make the market step by step up.
It is understood that China fiber optic cable after nearly 30 years of development, has grown into a mature industry is very competitive, so fiber production capacity has reached 40% of the total global demand. However, the disorderly competition in the domestic optical fiber and cable industry has seriously restricted the development of this industry, there are many factors causing this situation, but in the academician Zhao Zisen but another explanation.
Everyone in the competition, you put the price down, he also put the price down, down the way is to increase the production line, the lower layer, which will inevitably lead to the accumulation of low-end products. Academician Zhao Zisen pointed out sharply, mainly caused by the excess production capacity of Chinas optical fiber cable is malicious, disorderly competition between enterprises. Domestic fiber-optic cable overcapacity, fierce price competition, high-end product supply shortage behind, optical fibre and cable enterprises will face more severe challenges.
Domestic operators of collective purchases of optical fiber cable continued to decline, the demand decreases, this is a direct result of optical fiber and cable companies and equipment manufacturers and suppliers lack the depth of cooperation, the core technology transfer resulting in fiber optic cable, in fact largely listed by relying on the operator to get the market.
So, how to identify better fiber quality?
Its hard to say, because the fiber of this thing, just when installed, the basic problems and what not much difference, users generally difficult to perceive, takes time to reflect. Chen Mingdong told reporters.
This also let us have expressed concern on the part of fiber optic cable factory illegal behavior further using inferior fiber raw materials. Academician Zhao Zisen said, in order to replace as renewable raw materials of high quality polyethylene cable jacket, with ordinary iron or tinned steel chrome strip, the substitution does not meet the standards of the ointment and so on are many unscrupulous manufacturers to reduce the cost of conventional means. The low quality of the cable products once used will bring great security risks to the network. Academician Zhao Zisen also appealed to, between the optical fiber and cable production enterprises have a degree of competition, and stop the vicious and disorderly competition.
In addition, academician Zhao Zisen thought Optical communication Energy consumption is the current problem to be solved, and the international market is difficult, technical barriers to trade and investment in research and development, new problems have caused the excess production capacity of Chinas optical fiber cable.
Methods: the key is to strengthen the high-end low-end surplus lack of core technology research and development
In general Optical fiber Excess capacity at the same time, the market of low consumption and ultra low loss fiber fiber demand can not be satisfied. Zhao Zisen said, we put all the capacity accumulated to the same type of products, with a market that breaks the ecological balance of the industrial chain.
Academician Zhao Zisen analysis, enterprises blindly rely on the expansion of scale, product homogenization competition, overcapacity is sooner or later, and a vicious price war is inevitable. He called home optical fiber and cable The enterprise is to focus on technological innovation, take the difference of competitive road, by winning the products features, technical content.
The government should play the macro adjustment, the development of relevant norms, but to solve the problem of energy consumption and cost, the government is unable to control the market economy, unlike the past planned economy. Academician Zhao Zisen said, to solve the domestic fiber optical cable Overcapacity situation is not a short duration of time.
So, how to better solve the domestic fiber-optic cable overcapacity in this embarrassing situation? Academician Zhao Zisen gives three suggestions: first, to play the governments macro-control efforts. Especially the government should solve the problem of vicious competition between enterprises, formulate laws and regulations reasonably, and ensure the implementation of laws and regulations have been effectively implemented. Secondly, the key issues for enterprises to solve the supply of raw materials and core technologies of heteronomy. A common optical fiber cable overcapacity situation will continue, academician Zhao Zisen also suggested that enterprises should intensify the development of domestic optical fiber preform technology, crack and master the core problems of optical field, and low current fiber optic products to high-end fiber products. Finally, the enterprise should adopt the going out, in the long run, multi world learn advanced, may be a good way to solve the overcapacity in the domestic optical fiber and cable.
Although there are so many problems, but the whole world is China fiber sales volume biggest. Zhao Zisen told reporters, although the domestic optical fiber and cable production overcapacity, but our optical fiber and cable sales remained ahead of the world, as long as the enterprises to strengthen the core technology research and development, will be able to overcome difficulties, to find new machine.
