From January to June, architectural technical glass rose 16.9% over the same period of the previous year, flat glass rose 48.0%, and technical glass rose 3.4%. According to industry insiders, the increase in the price of flat glass this year is the highest after the abolition of the glass distribution price in 1993.

The volume and price of glass, which is the name of building technology products, has risen, which has promoted the recovery of economic benefits of the industry. From January to June, the operating income of architectural technology glass enterprises above the designated size was 182.48 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37.7%, the total profit was 26.92 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 140.1%, and the sales profit rate was 14.8%. Among them, the operating income of flat glass enterprises was 55.36 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%, the total profit was 12.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 155.0%, and the sales profit rate was 21.9%. The operating income of technical glass enterprises was 127.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 34.3%, the total profit was 14.81 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 129.2%, and the sales profit rate was 11.7%.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in the first half of the year, the completed construction area of the construction industry was 1.41 billion square meters, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%; the output of photovoltaic cells was 97.464 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 52.6%; the export of building technology glass was 2.225 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 8.7 %.

The v glasses prices continue to rise

According to analysis, the main reasons for the price fluctuation of architectural technology glass in recent years are the positive changes in the product structure, the steady growth of market demand, the sharp rise in raw material prices, and the increase in the production cost of v glasses.

A relevant person from the China Building Materials Federation pointed out that with the cultivation and development of the upstream and downstream markets, the application field and scope of the glass product market have continued to expand, showing obvious characteristics of diversified development, and effectively creating new market demands. In addition to being used in the traditional real estate market, it is also used in industrial fields such as automobiles, photovoltaics, electronic appliances, and home appliances. At present, the average ex-factory price of flat glass has exceeded 100 yuan per weight box, mainly due to changes in the production and sales structure of flat glass. The proportion of production and sales of high-quality flat glass for photovoltaic, automotive, low-radiation, and electronic glass have risen, and its price is more than twice that of ordinary architectural flat glass, resulting in an increase in the average price of flat glass.

According to analysis, in recent years, driven by the demand for flat glass sheets for photovoltaic glass, the production and sales of flat glass rebounded sharply. Since the beginning of this year, the steady recovery of Chinas economy has also prompted a significant increase in the demand for glass in the main market.

In addition, the prices of raw materials such as chemical products have risen sharply, increasing the production cost of v glasses. Since the beginning of this year, the price of soda ash has risen from about 1,300 yuan/ton in the fourth quarter of last year to the current 3,200 yuan/ton. Calculated based on the consumption of 10kg of soda ash per weight box of flat glass, the increase in the price of soda ash alone has caused the production cost of flat glass to rise by nearly 20 yuan. In addition, the prices of raw materials and fuels such as natural gas and sand and gravel used for glass production have increased, which has also increased the production cost of glass products to a certain extent.

The v glasses market applications continue to expand

The relevant person in charge of the China Building Materials Federation pointed out that to consolidate and maintain the development environment of architectural technology glass, it is necessary to maintain and consolidate the current healthy development environment of flat glass.

According to reports, the problem of v glasses overcapacity can be considered to have started in 2009. At that time, the v glasses production capacity soared from 670 million weight boxes in 2008 to 760 million weight boxes in 2009, and the capacity utilization rate also dropped from 88% in 2008 to 82%. At the same time, there were more than 100 million weight boxes under construction. Production capacity, the entire industry has a serious problem of overcapacity. Although governments and industries at all levels have adopted a series of measures to curb and resolve the problem of overcapacity in v glasses, the capacity utilization rate of flat glass still fell to 76% in 2012.

The China Building Materials Federation pointed out that the entire industry is market-oriented, accelerates the extension of the industrial chain, adheres to diversified development, continuously increases the glass deep processing rate, and optimizes and expands the product line, especially in the upstream and downstream of photovoltaics, automobiles, high-speed rail, electronic information, etc. Driven by market demand, the glass industrys production and sales structure has undergone positive changes, and production and sales have grown rapidly. The industrial boundary between the v glasses industry and the technical glass industry is gradually blurred, and the extension and diversification of the industrial chain have become the mainstream of business development.

Therefore, the China Building Materials Federation emphasizes that the entire industry should cherish the achievements made in the development of the industry, continue to consolidate and maintain the external policies and market environment, and the development path of internal transformation and improvement, avoid excessive intervention, ensure the continuity of the policy environment, and actively cultivate And expand the market application field, handle the current and long-term, partial and overall relationship, and maintain the stability and sustainable development of the policy and market environment.

Accelerate the cultivation of v glasses consumption growth momentum

The relevant person of the China Building Materials Federation said that it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and guidance of product prices and promote the formation of a price adjustment mechanism that is compatible with the relationship between supply and demand. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and supervision of the price of glass products, closely follow up and down market fluctuations and changes in domestic and foreign situations, and timely release information on changes in flat glass production capacity, raw fuel material prices, market supply, and demand, etc., to prevent market fluctuations caused by information asymmetry And prices have fluctuated sharply; it is necessary to actively guide industry enterprises to strengthen self-discipline, and to guide the industry in an orderly and compliant manner through effective methods to give full play to production capacity, and to adjust industrial policies in a timely and orderly manner. Through various measures, coordinate the upstream and downstream industrial chains, promote the construction technology glass industry to establish a price adjustment mechanism that is compatible with the relationship between supply and demand, and ensure stable price fluctuations. Acts that take the lead in driving up prices should be investigated and dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations to purify the market competition environment.

At the same time, it is necessary to coordinate the adjustment of the v glasses industry structure and accelerate the cultivation of growth momentum in the v glasses consumption field. At present, architectural technology glass is still in a critical period of power conversion and industrial structure adjustment. From the long-term development of the industry, it is still necessary to accelerate the cultivation of power growth in the consumption field.
