The export price of in general
Earlier this year the end of the 109th Canton Fair, due to raw material prices, labor costs and other multiple factors, the general rise in prices of export products. The products as clean, safe, and efficient energy, despite a number of foreign customers, has won a lot of orders, but the huge cost pressure, solar energy companies can only follow the market. Recently, the \"Solar Market Watch\" learned from a number of solar companies, solar water heater export prices increased by 10% to 15%.
Export of solar water heaters in general price increase of 10% to 15%
Raw material prices, rising labor costs, RMB appreciation, each related to the overseas export of all solar energy companies will be faced with the \"three high\" tremendous pressure.
The first is the continuing rise in raw material costs. \"Solar Market Watch\" learned from the market, the lowest blank tube from last year when 2,400 yuan / ton up to the end of March 3500 yuan / ton, or up to 45%. Solar water heater foam material (commonly known as black and white material) from 13,000 last year, the lowest / ton up to 18,000 yuan / ton, an increase of 38%. 304 stainless steel commonly used by 20,000 yuan per ton last year, the lowest price to 23,500 yuan / ton, or more than 17%. At the same time, frame, meter and other accessories prices were different ranges of prices.
From the \"Solar Market Watch\" to understand the situation before the deadline, the central parity of RMB against the U.S. dollar reported 6.49, which means that the main settlement currency in U.S. dollars of solar thermal products in export profit margins will be further compressed. Coupled with rising labor costs, even if the solar energy products have 17% of national export tax subsidies, but in the solar house, apparently unable to digest the enormous cost pressure, therefore, the price of export products has become the trend.
It is reported, including Norit, Wuxi Central special, Bedford Wright, Changzhou Sheng, including the number of overseas export business in the performance of the more active enterprise, its exports have different levels of price increase, price increase in 10% to 15%. In this regard, special Solar Technology Co., Ltd. Wuxi ring, said Chairman Jiang Zhongwei, soaring raw materials, RMB appreciation of the environment, solar energy companies export only through price increases to ease the pressure; Bedford Wright stakeholders also said that this year the company has export prices increased by 10%. Even more complete industrial chain corresponding Norit raised prices of export products.
The general manager of Mei Jianzhong Sheng told reporters solar, filled to the pricing of solar energy in the main export products to the RMB exchange rate as a reference standard, adopted a relatively flexible approach, in general, customers can understand and accept.
Export volume of business affected to some extent
According to public information, in 2010 the export of solar thermal products are mainly exported to South Africa, Mexico, Turkey, Germany, the United States, India and other places. As countries for the development of solar energy on behalf of the new emphasis green intensity, have introduced the corresponding incentives and financial subsidies, China\\ s solar thermal products in the market still has a strong export potential and competitiveness.
However, with this year, a sharp increase in domestic solar business cost pressures, many companies involved in export business has been affected to varying degrees. Mei Jianzhong pointed out that the current adverse environment, the export business for more customers or rely on long-term cooperation, but efforts to develop new customers obviously feel better than ever.
