According to statistics, from January to June 2015, the national coating output reached 8.7874 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%. From January to may, the total output value of the whole industry reached 155.843 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 8.6%; The coatings industry overcame the downward pressure and basically achieved the goal of steady progress. However, the downward pressure of the industry was still great, and some accumulated contradictions and problems still restricted the development of waterproof material manufacturers.

In the first half of 2015, the output and output value of China's coatings decreased month by month, compared with the same period in 2014, the growth rate of production decreased. The first quarter continued to operate in the first two years, the growth rate slowed down and entered the slow heat period of the industry; since the middle of May, there were signs of recovery. From the regional perspective, the coating industry in Sichuan, Hunan, Chongqing, Hubei, Henan, Fujian, Anhui and other provinces has a good growth momentum, with double-digit growth in the first half of the year; the coating industry in Beijing, Hebei and other places has entered a "shock period" due to the relocation of enterprises. Taking Beijing as an example, the coating production from January to June decreased by 11.1% compared with the same period last year, but the main business income increased by 3.4% from January to May

Gao Zhenxiong, market operation director of Guangzhou weishike building materials Co., Ltd., a member of China Waterproof Coatings Association, said that in the first half of the year, the operation of the coating industry had a steady rise, and the growth rate slowed down, resulting in many uncertain factors. Affected by the change of downstream market environment, the development of various coatings varieties is unbalanced. Taking architectural coatings as an example, due to the slowdown of the real estate market, the annual output growth of architectural coatings also slowed down, and the annual growth dropped to less than 10%. At present, the average unit price of architectural coatings in China is about 10 ~ 30 yuan / kg, which is lower than the value in the same period of 2014. Moreover, due to the intensified competition among coating manufacturers, the average unit price of architectural coatings still has a downward trend, which leads to architectural coatings The growth of output value is weak. China's automobile coating is synchronized with the advanced technology level of foreign countries, and even some coating lines are ahead of foreign countries. Recently, the demand of advanced automobile manufacturing technology for coating materials has driven the popularization and application of environment-friendly automobile coatings. However, due to the recent car market from hot to light, the growth rate of automotive coatings market has also slowed down.

Secondly, the industrial concentration of the coating industry has gradually increased, and the scale of waterproof material manufacturers has gradually expanded. In recent years, the merger and reorganization of domestic coating enterprises has been surging. After the merger of Nippon and oulong, Shenzhen guoerjia waterproofing company has successfully restructured the market according to the research and development of new coatings in the market. More and more Chinese enterprises have appeared in the top 100 enterprises in the world coatings list, and many domestic coatings have ranked among the top 40 in the world. But generally speaking, there is still a certain gap between China's waterproof material manufacturers and international big brands in terms of capital scale, brand advantages and technical strength.

At the same time, there are still some situations worthy of attention. With the introduction of "the most stringent environmental protection law in history" and more and more environmental protection policy restrictions, facing the consumption tax and sewage charges of the coating industry, the waterproof material manufacturers really feel that the environmental protection is becoming more stringent. It is urgent to promote clean production, speed up structural adjustment and develop environmental protection coating products.

Another set of data is compelling. From January to may, the profit of coatings industry increased by 13% on a year-on-year basis. At the same time, the number of loss making enterprises in 2006 reached 300, with a year-on-year increase of 67%; the loss amount of loss making enterprises reached 581 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 61.3%. Gao Zhenxiong said that since this year, China's waterproof material manufacturers' profit space is getting smaller and smaller, and the industry's profits are more and more concentrated in the top ten brand enterprises of waterproof coatings. In the waterproof industry, the differentiation between waterproof material manufacturers is increasing, and the backward production capacity has become an inevitable trend.

Industry insiders said that in the second half of this year, the coating industry will continue to develop environmentally friendly coatings represented by water-based coatings. While producing traditional coatings, many waterproof material manufacturers have begun to consider developing new products, taking the road of overall home, conducting differentiated marketing, and expanding their market share by means of overall design and home service. At present, consumers' demand for environmental protection and decoration function of waterproof coating is growing day by day, and the color matching problem of waterproof coating has also been paid attention to, and has become the production guidance of waterproof material manufacturers. In addition, for many years, the formaldehyde content of coating products has been a problem of concern to consumers. Consumers' attention and choice on this issue have more and more profound impact on the orientation of waterproof material manufacturers. Green, environmental protection and low-carbon coatings are accelerating to become the mainstream value.

It is predicted that in 2016, the national coating production will reach about 20 million tons, with a growth rate of about 7%; the output value can reach about 425 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 7% - 8%; the profit is expected to exceed 35 billion yuan, achieving an increase of 8% - 10%.
