The development dilemma of the power tool industry
(1) RMB continues to appreciate
The traditional end users of power tools are mostly concentrated in Europe and the United States, and the downstream customers corresponding to motor manufacturers are mostly European and American companies. Therefore, as a motor supplier, the proportion of exports in sales is relatively large. Since 2017, the continuous appreciation of the RMB has made it inevitable for companies in the industry chain to bear exchange rate losses, affecting the profitability of the industry.
(2) Rising raw material prices
Enameled wire and steel sheet are the two types of raw materials that consume the highest proportion in motor production, and fluctuations in their prices will directly affect the production cost of the motor. With the continuous rise of commodity prices in recent years, although large motor factories can transmit part of the pressure of rising raw materials to downstream customers through price formulas and other methods, if the trend of rising raw material prices continues, the profitability of the industry will be affected.
(3) Rising labor costs
The motor and power tool manufacturing industry is a technology- and labor-intensive industry. Although companies in the industry are popularizing automated production and manufacturing processes and production lines, under the background of my country's rising labor costs, labor costs will still have a certain impact on the operation of companies in the industry. influences.
(4) Faced with technological updates and upgrades
This is also the most important point. At present, with the development of lithium battery technology, the biggest problem facing the power tool industry is the upgrading of technology. The technical difficulties of power tools are mainly concentrated on batteries and motors, which limit the battery life of power tools. Capability and power, such as: fast heat dissipation, improved battery life, fast charging, etc.
Fast charging will inevitably reduce heat. All components and selected materials must be well conductive and heat-resistant, and at the same time, it must meet the requirements of increased battery life and increased service life.
Of course, the industry has been intensively innovating technologies. For example, the side of the picture below is a new material copper tape connecting piece, and the connecting piece is connected to the battery core. This new material can meet the requirements of fast heat dissipation, good electrical conductivity, and can increase battery life and service life.
postscript
Power tools have liberated our hands, and the emergence of new materials and new technologies has given power tools wings, which will make our lives more convenient and smart! In the post-epidemic era, the development of the power tool industry will definitely get better and better .
