Color coated boards first appeared in the United States in the 1930s, and were primarily made of shutters and thin iron sheets. After the 1960s, especially in the past 30 years, some countries in Eastern Europe developed a color coated plate production line
Based on the analysis of China's color coated plate consumption industry, the application of color coated plate is quite extensive, involving many industries. The proportion of color coated plate consumption is mainly in the construction industry, with the total consumption up to 80%. At the same time, the application of color coated plate in household appliances and transportation industry is also in great demand.
At present, the substrate of color coated plate is mainly galvanized plate and cold-rolled plate, and its price is affected by the substrate price. The domestic color coated plate market is mainly affected by the market and cost. Some private small enterprises can not withstand the impact of market prices. Some of them cut production and stopped production. At the same time, the domestic color coated plate export volume is also gradually increasing, which gives a good support to the price of color coated plates.
The rapid development of society has also increased the demand for color coated boards. However, due to the insufficient production capacity of domestic color coated boards, the supply and demand of color coated boards are unbalanced, which must be supported by a large number of foreign imports.
Development trend of color coated plate industry
The profit of color coated plate in the early stage was still considerable, which attracted many enterprises to join, and led to the rapid development of the number and capacity of color coated plate industry. With the increase of production enterprises, the market became mixed, and even some low-end color coated plate manufacturers disrupted the benign development of the color coated plate market.
With the improvement of the quality requirements for color coated boards in the market, and the increasing market demand for differentiated and functional products, enterprises must have strong technology research and development capabilities, and maintain competitive advantages in substrate treatment, coating formula, coating process, etc., in order to provide customers with higher quality products and occupy more market shares.
At present, the color coated board industry has developed into a highly specialized industry with many subdivisions, and its technical threshold has been greatly improved compared with that before, thus forming a technical barrier to new entrants in the industry. Some enterprises with high technology focus on functional and high-end building color coated boards, which are high-end brand manufacturers in the market. On the one hand, such enterprises have high and stable market shares in their respective advantageous market segments; On the other hand, such enterprises have great advantages in terms of production scale, financial situation, R&D ability, process technology level, stable and timely mass production capacity, etc.
