Driven by factors such as the government's policies to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry, strong market demand, and enhanced investment capacity of the industry, China's valve output has maintained continuous growth. Valves are low-margin products, and market competition is extremely fierce. At present, China's valve industry is labor-intensive, with development still dominated by quantitative expansion. Although an increasing number of valve products made in China are circulating in the international market, Chinese enterprises do not hold the right to speak in the international valve market.

Valves are low-margin products, and market competition is extremely fierce. Currently, China's valve industry is labor-intensive, with growth still focused on expanding production volume. While more and more Chinese-made valve products are flowing into the international market, Chinese enterprises lack in the global valve sector. It is understood that there are over 2,000 valve enterprises of a certain scale in the market, mostly distributed in the Yangtze River Delta, Zhejiang, and central China regions. Due to the relatively low technical requirements for products, competition is even more intense.

The shortage of professional talents has become a bottleneck restricting the further development of China's valve industry. To address this issue, it is necessary to strengthen short-term training for existing employees to improve the current human resource situation. At the same time, high-quality industry talents should be introduced through various channels to enhance the intellectual capital of China's valve industry.

For the long-term development of China's valve industry, it is essential to adjust and optimize the industrial structure. We should not only continue to give full play to the advantages of traditional valve industries but also vigorously develop knowledge and technology-intensive industries and emerging industries to promote the upgrading of the valve industry. Only in this way can we quickly narrow the gap between China's valve industry and those of other countries.
