Market demand
Energy, environment and security are the three major issues that countries around the world are very concerned about. The development of the automotive industry is closely related to the popularization of automobile applications. With the continuous rise in the energy conservation and consumption reduction requirements of modern automobiles, safety and environmental protection regulations are becoming more stringent, and the requirements for lightweight vehicle lightweight are more urgent. The quality of aluminum alloy is light, high strength, good formability, moderate price, and high recovery rate. It is of great significance for reducing automotive self -weight, reducing fuel consumption, reducing environmental pollution and improving operating performance. It has become the first choice for the automotive industry. According to statistics from the US metal market, the average aluminum volume of each car in the world has doubled in the past 10 years. In 2001, the average aluminum volume of each car in the world has reached 113.5kg, especially in North America’s aluminum volume has grown the fastest. In 2002 The average aluminum volume per car produced in North America is about 124kg.
The aluminum alloy wheels are about 2kg lighter than the steel wheels. When the speed is 60km/h, it can save 5%-7%of fuel. In addition, there are fast heat dissipation, good shock absorption performance, long tire life, safe and reliable appearance, beautiful appearance, colorful patterns and colorful patterns are colorful The advantages of accurate size and good balance, have been used in large quantities in the Western car industry, and have great development potential. In the past 10 years, the aluminum aluminum rate in North America has risen the fastest. In 1999, the aluminum aluminum rate of North American cars and light truck wheels reached 53%, and its aluminum volume was above 270kt. The share will rise to more than 70%, and the total aluminum amount will reach 540kt. According to information, the production of car aluminum alloy wheels in the world is more than 100 million every year. It is expected that the demand for aluminum alloy wheels in 2014 will reach about 250 million. The huge attractiveness of the international aluminum alloy wheel market will stimulate the development of the aluminum alloy wheel industry Essence
After decades of construction in the Chinese automobile industry, the scale has begun to take advantage of the scale, and the output of automobiles has risen sharply. Especially after joining the WTO, the Chinese automobile industry not only does not have the entire army as many people worry about, but use the capital of the international automotive industry to use the capital of the international automotive industry. The technology has achieved a big leap. In 2002, the production of Chinese cars increased by 53%over 2001, and the output exceeded 1.1 million units (reached the production of the 15th “of the Chinese automotive industry). China will be in the next 5-10 years. It will be the world’s largest and fastest -growing automobile market, which has been generally recognized by people in the industry. At present, many international automobile manufacturers have come to China to build a joint venture and continue to invest in China, showing strong investment willingness, such as Volkswagen Corporation of Germany and Citroen Motor Company, all of which have increased investment to China and provided them with the Chinese market. Household economy cars increase the market share in Chinese cars.
Although China’s automobile industry has developed rapidly, there is still a lot of gaps compared to industrialized automotive powers. One of them is that there is a certain gap between automotive materials and foreign countries. The aluminum aluminum rate is relatively low. The aluminum consumption is only about 40-50kg. With the acceleration of the lightweight process of the world’s automobile, especially after joining the WTO, the international competition on the automotive market is fierce. Essence As a product that makes cars lightweight, aluminum wheels have attracted widespread attention in my country. The domestic aluminum wheel market is mainly concentrated in Shanghai Volkswagen, FAW -Volkswagen, Guangzhou Honda and several miniature car manufacturers, pickups and other OEMs to support the car. From the perspective of the model, high -end cars (Audi A6), intermediate cars (Accord, Passat), low -end cars (Pusan, Jetta, Xiali, Fukang), micro -van, medium van, pickup cards, jeep, etc. have widely used aluminum wheels.
In 2001, the output of Chinese cars, jeep, and van was 1200-15 million vehicles. The demand for aluminum hubs in China was between 300-3.75 million, and the retail market was 900-12 million. Between 390 and 495,000. As the country encouraged car consumption policies to introduce, cars have entered a rapid momentum, which has expanded a huge market space for the Chinese car industry. In 2002, the car output has reached the “15th” planning goal of the automotive industry. According to the development of my country’s national economy, changes in transportation, and improvement of people’s living standards in recent years.
In recent years, the demand for aluminum hubs in the international market has been optimistic. In addition to the price advantage of Chinese products, major domestic manufacturers have developed the international market as the focus. The United States is the main export market, and the demand for the automotive accessories market alone is 8 million, followed by Japan, South Korea, Australia, Southeast Asia and Europe. In 2001, many domestic manufacturers exported orders was sufficient and could not be completed. There were about 3.5 million exported aluminum wheels in China throughout the year, and foreign exchange was 120 million US dollars.
