my country has entered the ranks of major international shipbuilding countries, but the domestic ship supporting industry is very weak. Enterprises generally import ship supporting core equipment from developed countries such as Germany, resulting in high procurement costs. Key ship supporting parts such as engines and electronic control equipment are generally purchased from For foreign imports, the proportion of imported ancillary products is as high as 70%. At present, the annual output value of the world's ship supporting industry is about 23 to 25 billion U.S. dollars. The main manufacturers are concentrated in Northwest Europe and Japan. Although my country has greatly improved the level of research and development and manufacturing of marine supporting equipment such as diesel engines, generator sets, and propellers, Ship navigation equipment, communication equipment, steering systems, control systems, and other ship-equipped electronic products, mostly use foreign products. In order to adapt to the rapid development of my country's shipbuilding industry, it has become a top priority to improve the scale and level of China's shipbuilding industry, especially the ship electronics industry.

Electronic products are the bottleneck of my country's shipbuilding industry

Marine electronic products are an important part of ship ancillary products, and they are components with relatively high technical content and added value in ships.

From the perspective of development trends, ship electronic technology is developing in the direction of digitization, automation, integration, intelligence and integration. With the gradual improvement of users' requirements for high cost performance and high reliability, the manufacturing of marine electronic products has gradually developed in the direction of serialization, modularization and standardization. In view of the fact that marine electronic technology is a typical dual-use technology for both military and civilian use, developed countries consider its dual role in the development of naval equipment and the development of the civilian maritime shipping industry, and generally attach importance to and support large military enterprises to enter the maritime electronics industry. From the perspective of market size, the current world ship supporting industry market is about 23 billion to 25 billion U.S. dollars. Among the marine equipment, the most valuable equipment is basically: diesel engines, generator sets, propellers, auxiliary boilers, deck machinery, steering systems, navigation And measurement systems, cabin systems, auxiliary systems, life-saving systems, of which the value of marine electronic products accounted for about 15%. It is characterized by a wide variety of products, a wide range of users, strong mobility, high price and service requirements, but limited demand for each type of marine electronic products (excluding ship transformation, the annual volume of new shipbuilding for large and small ships around the world is about 10,000 ships). Although the overall market size of ship electronic products is not very large, the impact on the shipbuilding industry is not small. Especially for my country's shipbuilding industry, ship electronic products are still a major bottleneck.

Uneven distribution of marine electronics market

The production of marine electronic products is currently mainly concentrated in some developed countries in Europe and America, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, the United States, Canada, and Japan and South Korea in Asia. The market is mainly distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas, and there is a certain imbalance between production and market distribution.

Europe is the birthplace of modern shipping and modern shipbuilding. After hundreds of years of development, a strong shipbuilding industry and ship supporting industrial system has been formed. In recent years, although the world’s shipbuilding industry has shifted to East Asia, Europe still has strong ship supporting capabilities and is in a leading position in the ship supporting market, accounting for about half of the world market. At present, the high-quality market of marine electronic products is mainly controlled by European and American countries. In view of the important role played by ship electronic commercial technology in supporting European and American naval systems, civil ship electronic systems and technologies have received extensive attention and vigorous promotion by high-level European and American navies.

Japanese and Korean manufacturers focus on the middle and low-end markets and can provide serialized products. Since the 1970s, Japan has replaced Europe as the world's largest shipbuilding country. In the mid-1970s, when Japan’s shipbuilding output reached 17.5 million tons, it had formed a complete range of supporting industries with high technical levels and became the world’s marine equipment manufacturing. Big country. At present, the localization rate of Japanese shipbuilding equipment is 98%. Japan mainly introduced advanced technologies from European and American countries, implemented appropriate protections for domestic enterprises, gradually integrated ship supporting enterprises, formed concentrated production advantages according to specialized division of labor, and strengthened coordination, so that the localization rate of shipbuilding supporting equipment was greatly increased. Almost all ships built in South Korea in the 1970s used imported materials and equipment. By the 1980s, while South Korea introduced equipment and technology, it promoted the localization of marine equipment, adopted corresponding protective measures, reduced imports, and promoted the development of ship supporting industries. development of. At present, the localization rate of South Korean shipbuilding equipment has reached 90%.

Still lacks core technology

The rapid development of my country's shipbuilding industry has greatly stimulated the demand for ship ancillary equipment, including the demand for ship electronics and navigation equipment. At present, the actual matching rate of domestically-made equipment for conventional ships in China is only about 30%, and the actual matching rate of domestically-made equipment for high-tech ships is only about 20%, especially as the localization rate of ship electronic products with high added value is not yet 10%, which is in contrast to the rapid development of my country’s shipbuilding industry. At present, the global demand for ship electronic equipment is close to 30 billion yuan per year. The Chinese shipbuilding and repairing market can provide an annual market of nearly 10 billion yuan for ship electronic equipment, but 90% of them are monopolized by imported products.
