The output value of environmental protection equipment in 2015 exceeded 500 billion yuan

According to the "12th Five-Year Plan" energy saving and environmental protection industry development plan, by 2015, the output value of China's environmental protection equipment will exceed 500 billion yuan, the output value of environmental protection materials will exceed 100 billion yuan, and the output value of environmental protection services industry will exceed 500 billion yuan.

In fact, as early as May 13, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the fourth national basic survey of environmental protection-related industries, taking 2011 as the data sample year.

From 2004 to 2011, the average annual growth rate of China's environmental protection products, environmental protection services, and resource recycling products was 28.7%, 30.5%, and 14.1%, respectively. According to the growth rate, by 2015, the output value of China's environmental protection products and environmental protection services industry is expected to reach 570 billion yuan and 470 billion yuan respectively.

Environmental protection equipment to take the refined route

“The entire environmental protection equipment manufacturing industry is faced with an unprecedented policy environment and market environment. We must make full use of the policy dividend to promote the development of the industry. In the future, China’s environmental protection equipment market will have a strong demand and have great potential for development. Environmental protection equipment should be oriented towards specialization. With the development of complete sets, serialization and standardization, the effectiveness has been continuously improved to meet China's high requirements for environmental improvement, said Qi Zhiliang, director of the China Investment Advisory Industry and Policy Research Center.

It is understood that China’s environmental protection equipment products are dominated by air and water pollution control equipment, which account for more than 40% of the total value of the environmental protection equipment manufacturing industry. The annual output value of solid waste equipment, noise and vibration control equipment, and environmental monitoring equipment account for the manufacturing of environmental protection equipment. Industry output value is about 5%, 6.5%, and 2.3%.

"As the various policies gradually come to the ground, the following three subdivided areas in 2014 deserve attention: First, special instrumentation for environmental monitoring; second, air pollution and water pollution control equipment; and third, solid waste treatment equipment." According to the “12th Five-Year Development Plan for Environmental Protection Equipment”, the total output value of China’s environmental protection equipment will increase by 20% annually. In 2015, the total output value of environmental protection equipment will reach 500 billion yuan. By then, China will build more than 10 industrial bases for environmental protection equipment and cultivate a group of advantageous environmental protection equipment companies with famous brands.

Faced with such a huge market space, China's environmental protection equipment industry should make a difference, but there are many problems in the actual development process. First of all, China's environmental protection equipment technology has a low gold content and lacks market competitiveness, and there is a big gap compared with Western developed countries. Secondly, the industry concentration is low, most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. The technical equipment is backward and the level of specialization is low, so it is difficult to form a scale effect. Thirdly, the environmental protection equipment is in complete sets, serialization, standardization, and localization. The conventional products are relatively surplus, and some urgently needed pollution control equipment are in serious shortage. In addition, the lack of effective supervision of product quality inspections and mixed media in the market can not form a healthy competition, which restricts the sustainable development of the environmental protection industry.

Environmental protection industry structure will be profoundly adjusted

"China's environmental protection industry is developing rapidly and will face more space in the future. The industrial structure will be profoundly adjusted. China has not yet established a normalized system of environmental protection-related industry surveys, and data acquisition mainly depends on intermittent surveys.

The development of the environmental protection service industry has shown a trend that is faster than the development of environmental protection products, and will gradually evolve from a single link and a single pollution factor service to a multi-link and multi-element comprehensive environmental protection service model. "The deputy inspector of the Department of Science and Technology Standards Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection Yu Shufan said.

From 2004 to 2011, the average annual growth rate of China's annual revenue from environmental protection products, environmental protection services, and resource recycling products was 28.7%, 30.5%, and 14.1%, respectively. The distribution of environmental protection products and environmental protection services presents the overall characteristics of the "One Belt, One Axis," namely, the "Coastal Development Zone" of the environmental protection industry clustered around the three core regions of the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, and the Yangtze River to the Yangtze River from Shanghai to the east. Other environmental protection industries in the central provinces are "developing axes along the river."

According to the “China's Manufacturing Industry Development Strategy Study under the Background of Globalization” data, the top ten rankings of China’s environmental protection equipment manufacturing market share are: Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Guangdong, Henan, Fujian, Hebei, Liaoning. It is worth noting that in the past two years, special equipment for environmental pollution prevention and control in Beijing has gone straight to 100,000 units, far more than Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and other cities and provinces, and have won the top spot for special equipment for environmental pollution prevention and control.

The reason why China's environmental protection industry has such rapid development is mainly due to the formulation and implementation of national energy conservation and environmental protection policies and measures in recent years. In the next step, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will promote the development of the environmental protection industry from four aspects. The first is to strengthen environmental supervision and change the status quo of “high compliance costs, low illegal costs, and difficult environmental protection enforcement” in environmental protection, and promote the full release of the environmental protection industry's demand space. The second is to improve environmental management, implement pollution prevention action plans in key areas, improve the environmental protection standards system, and strengthen information disclosure. The third is to play a market role. At present, Class A qualification administrative licenses for environmental protection facilities operating units have been formally cancelled. Fourth, vigorously develop the environmental protection service industry. We will explore government procurement of environmental protection services, comprehensive management of pollution in regions, river basins, and industrial parks, as well as policies and mechanisms to promote the development of environmental protection industries.
