OF Cable Technology Innovation Is Weak

Optical Fiber Cable Industry Technology Innovation Is Weak And Other Issues Are Increasingly Severe

    At present, the optical fiber cable industry has an excessive total amount, insufficient effective supply, prominent structural contradictions, low input and output, and weak scientific and technological innovations. The low concentration of the industry, the lack of a dominant brand and the status quo of leading companies have determined that price competition has become the main means of competition in the optical fiber cable industry. A direct consequence of vicious price competition is the emergence of a large number of counterfeit and shoddy goods. The whole industry needs to carry out effective strategic integration, form a dominant brand, and enhance the market response ability of the enterprise.

    The second is that enterprises should strengthen self-discipline and establish an industry supervision mechanism. It is recommended that relevant government departments and industry associations should have supervisory mechanisms and establish effective normative management mechanisms among government agencies, industry associations and enterprises.

    The third is to promote the application of new technologies, new processes and new materials by strengthening management and independent innovation, accelerate the development of new products, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises as soon as possible.

The main obstacles are four points:

(1) It is the industry's and market's entry threshold, poor regulation and control, and disorderly competition; secondly, local protectionism still exists, affecting the benign development of the industry;

(2) Power cables are material-intensive products, which are greatly affected by material prices. Fourth, due to various factors, the payment is slowing down and the performance is not satisfactory.

(3) It is an industry integration issue. The number of cable enterprises is large and the scale is small. The average utilization rate of equipment in China's cable industry is only about 30%, while that in advanced countries generally reaches 70%. The product structure is unreasonable, the proportion of products with low technical content is too large, the input and output rate of materials is low, and the material consumption is wasted. The management is backward, the production cycle is long, and the turnover of working capital is less than twice, far less than 9~11 times abroad. Market awareness needs to be further enhanced.

(4) It is an industrial upgrading issue. Many cable companies have established technology centers, but they have not really played a role, and independent technological innovation is not enough. Some companies have short-term behaviors and no long-term development plans and goals. There are also diversified businesses that diversify their efforts and result in which products are not doing well.
