In 2018, the market of graphite crucible is rising, the price of raw materials for graphite crucible is generally rising, the cost of graphite crucible is unavoidable, and the industry of graphite crucible is facing shuffle. From south to north, there was a loud cry of alarm.

Ancient saying has clouds, "Listening is dark, and listening is bright." For this topic which has been repeatedly mentioned by the media in recent years, we take an ive and impartial attitude and calm analysis to uncover the doubts of industrial development behind the "price increase".

Is it rising or is it the trend?

At the end of 2017, according to a survey by financial journalists, raw materials for graphite crucibles rose sharply and sponges increased by 70%. Since then, the rise in raw materials for graphite crucibles has been almost triggered by media hype. However, according to the statistics bureau, from January to November 2017, the main business income of the graphite crucible manufacturing industry was 76.26 billion yuan, a cumulative increase of 8.4% over the same period of last year, and the total profit was 46.29 billion yuan, a cumulative increase of 10% over the same period of last year. China's graphite crucible industry will continue to grow rapidly in the long run.

The rise of raw materials for graphite crucible is mainly caused by the rise of labor costs, logistics costs, industrial restructuring, exchange rate fluctuations and policies, among which policy and logistics are particularly critical. At the beginning of 2018, the implementation of the "Environmental Protection Law" had a direct impact on the low-end manufacturing s. In September of the same year, the implementation of the "over-limit order", the cost of long-distance transportation of raw materials for graphite crucible increased significantly.

In this industry situation, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weak. The data show that in 2016, the main business income of Enterprises above the scale of graphite crucible industry increased by more than 20% on average, the profit increased by about 15% over the same period of last year, and the profit increased by a larger margin than the output increased, the enterprise benefit improved. In contrast, the development situation of small and medium-sized enterprises is becoming more and more serious, and the speed of industrial reform is increasing.

To cope with the rise, the key is to prescribe the right medicine.

Since the rising trend is clear in the short term, how should enterprises and industries cope with it? Should they flee manufacturing or find another way? Graphite crucible enterprises and raw materials enterprises of graphite crucible need to be treated correctly.

Firstly, to cope with the rising logistics costs, optimizing the transportation system is the key. At present, China's graphite crucible industry has formed an obvious regional cluster development pattern. The corresponding graphite crucible manufacturing, logistics, marketing and other industrial chains also need to complete the agglomeration, so as to optimize industrial allocation, reduce logistics costs and improve industrial efficiency.

Secondly, in response to industrial restructuring, accelerating industrial transformation and upgrading is the key. The reason for the large price increase of sponges is the direct reason for the heavy-handed treatment of high-polluting enterprises, which shows the determination of the market to eliminate the backward and low-end production capacity. Therefore, accelerating the industrial upgrading is conducive to win-win situation between raw materials and graphite crucible industry.

Thirdly, although raw materials for graphite crucible are also imported, most of them still rely on the domestic market, especially the raw materials Industrial Park of the whole industrial chain, which has become an important driving force to support the development of the surrounding and graphite crucible industry. Therefore, the industry of graphite crucible material in China is also in urgent need of transformation and breakthrough.
