Impact and enlightenment of the epidemic on the materials industry

 The new crown virus epidemic will have an impact that cannot be ignored on China's economic development and people's production, work, life and study. As for the development of the new material industry, it has also suffered a serious dilemma.

The current start of materials companies is mainly restricted by:

1) Logistics factors. At present, logistics in Hubei Province is affected by the closure of the city, difficult to enter and exit, and traffic is basically in a state of paralysis; other parts of the country are also due to traffic control in some cities and logistics are inconvenient, and delivery is currently difficult. It is expected that pre-holiday orders will need some logistics after February 10. Delivery can only start after the channel is restored, but the specific recovery situation still needs to be observed in the development of the epidemic;

2) Downstream demand. As most of the downstream battery factories are delayed until the resumption of work next week, the downstream demand is weak, the order volume is small, and there are only a few inquiries. The epidemic has had a serious impact on the entire industrial chain, and material factories are pessimistic about February output. Only a few companies resumed work this week, and the market is currently in a state of no orders and a small amount of quotations.

The impact of the epidemic on the new materials industry

In terms of time, the impact of the epidemic can be divided into long-term and short-term. The long-term impact is related to the overall situation, involving top priorities such as national security, stability, development, people's lives, and international status, while the short-term impact is mainly related to some recent behaviors of certain industries, regions, enterprises, and units.

For the new material industry, because new materials are the basis and the forerunner of modern high-tech emerging industries, the impact of the epidemic is not limited to the new material industry itself, but also involves other industries and fields, such as manufacturing, logistics, communications, and medical home furnishings. The stability, development, economic benefits, and even the problems of international cooperation and exchanges have various impacts, with different continuity and different results.

From the perspective of the development of the new material industry, the short-term impact is mainly reflected in:

In order to control the epidemic, the implementation of national traffic control has caused the return of employees of enterprises to be blocked and the resumption of work is delayed. Many enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, will encounter shortages or serious shortages of employees, unable to resume work normally, and even stop work. It will inevitably affect the economic benefits of the enterprise and the lives of employees. At the same time, employees who have reworked also need a longer period of psychological adjustment and the adjustment period for the improvement and adjustment of the company's security control and prevention systems and measures, which will also affect the production, operation and operation of the company to a certain extent.

Due to the traffic control implemented by the epidemic, the flow of people is difficult. Therefore, the recent employee return and return to work rate are important indicators to measure the degree of impact on the materials industry. Especially for labor-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises, the return journey of employees is blocked, and the company cannot resume work on time, which will seriously cause the company to suspend production or even close down, causing social problems. The current situation of my country’s material industry is that labor-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises account for a large proportion of the relevant material companies such as textiles, clothing, toys, leather, building materials, furniture, etc., which are greatly affected by the epidemic, which will further It affects people's daily life, medical care, work and leisure. For the country, this is a major event that must be dealt with seriously.

Relatively speaking, technology and resource-intensive companies such as new energy, modern transportation and automobiles, electronic information, aerospace, important equipment and other related materials companies are large-scale backbone companies with a high degree of mechanization and automation, and they have a strong response to emergencies. The capacity of the event is therefore relatively less affected by the epidemic.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, traffic control, and personnel isolation, important logistics companies will not operate normally until the inflection point of the epidemic occurs. This will cause a period of delay, and the resumption of production by material companies requires raw materials. During the epidemic, many raw materials cannot be normal. Logistics supply will also have a greater impact on the new material industry. In addition, the price increase of some raw materials after the epidemic may also occur, which will also affect the operation and efficiency of enterprises to varying degrees.

After the epidemic, the market demand for new materials will also change. People will re-examine and position the social value of material varieties and technologies. Some material varieties are eliminated because they do not meet the new needs of market development; and some have performance applications and price advantages New varieties will become popular. For example, the demand for biomedical materials that are closely related to people's life, study, medical treatment, epidemic prevention and control, and health care will rise sharply. At the same time, higher requirements will be placed on product performance, quality, and price. These will profoundly affect the technological innovation of enterprises, as well as the adjustment or optimization of product structure or operation mode.

The epidemic will make the export of new materials and products face uncertainty. For example, the WHO (World Health Organization) has designated the epidemic as PHEIC (International Public Health Emergency). Although there are currently no further restrictions on the trade of goods in my country, it can be It is expected that international logisticswill be greatly affected for a period of time in the future, customs clearance will be delayed, and the delivery of overseas orders may face default. At the same time, restrictions on the overseas travel of personnel have affected the business expansion of overseas markets, such as overseas exhibition participation and business negotiations, which will cause the recent decline in overseas sales performance.

The epidemic will also seriously affect domestic and foreign academic exchanges and cooperation in the new material industry. Some developed countries have restricted the entry of people in the near future, and the number of people coming to China has also been greatly reduced. This will have an adverse impact on international academic exchanges or technology introduction cooperation. Affect the breakthroughs in some key domestic material technologies, such as high-temperature aero-engine material technology, high-performance carbon fiber composite material technology, third-generation semiconductor material raw material technology, super chip technology, and biomimetic material technology.
