Shortly after EU’s preliminary decision of imposing punitive tariffs on Chinese PV products, an executive meeting was held by the State Council. It pointed out that great supports should be given to overcome the current flight and efforts exerted to stimulate domestic demand as well as industrial upgrading. Specially formulated for PV industry, State Council’s six regulatory measures not only signals its supportive attitude, but also boosts our confidence. Though relevant details about these measures need to be further specified, distributed PV is emphasized in many ways. In line with these measures, consumption pressure of grid connection will be relieved via full acquisition of distributed PV and other methods. In addition, companies will be also granted with subsidies on the basis of generating capacity. As a result, two major bottlenecks of distributed PV power generation, namely grid connection and subsidy, will be effectively resolved. It is predicted that a state scheme on grid integration of distributed PV generation will be introduced before August this year, stipulating relevant details about grid connection, electricity price, subsidy and other issues. It will greatly promote growth in this field. At present, negotiations between two parties are underway. No matter how they proceed, domestic PV enterprises should make preparation and take corresponding measures as early as possible. On June 19, Yingli Solar and China Southern Power Grid signed a strategic cooperation agreement to deepen collaboration on photovoltaic power generation, smart grid, energy storage and other aspects. Joint efforts will be also made regarding development, investment, construction and operation of PV projects. Their cooperation not only boosts our confidence, but also indicates national support on new energy development. As far as we know, China’s PV enterprises have shifted their focuses to domestic and emerging markets following the implementation of punitive duties. Take Yingli Solar as an example. Business volume of domestic and emerging markets sharply increases, accounting for more than 20% and the proportion is expected to exceed 40% in 2013. Wang Bohua, Secretary-general of China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance, pointed it out that China saw 64% year-on-year growth in installed capacity in 2012. Our goal this year is 10 GW, 60% of which will be contributed by distributed PV. Since domestic market is seeing fast growth, we have to cope with huge production capacity at the same time. Currently, PV industry is developing at a rapid pace in Japan, Africa, South America and other regions, which attracts many Chinese partners. PV Guangzhou 2013 will set up an effective platform for them and contribute to solving the problem of production capacity. State Council’s six regulatory measures are expected to set off a new round of development in PV industry.

As China’s photovoltaic industry has frequently encountered anti-dumping and anti-subsidy in foreign countries, most people focus on the solution that the government adopts to deal with the crisis. Thanks to cost reduction and emerging market exploitation, PV industry is gradually seeing recovery and positive development. However, many corporations are still facing hard times at the moment. “The punitive duty of 11.8% is slightly lower than what we have expected, which gives us a break. Some large companies with financial strength can manage to survive the hard time”, a photovoltaic insider told reporters. The European Commission announced its decision to push forth with anti-dumping duties on Chinese PV imports into Europe despite of controversy. From June 6 to August 6, the provisional tariffs are set as 11.8%. In case of no satisfying negotiation results, then the punitive duties of 47.6% will come into force in August, passively influencing most of domestic PV companies. Undeniably, the biggest problem for China’s PV industry lies in excess capacity and we’ve been suffering this issue for many years. To solve this problem, we have reached common ground, namely, vigorously expanding domestic and overseas markets. Though the European markets are still quite important to China’s PV industry, many domestic companies have been trying to seek business transformation before the proposal of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy. On one hand, they actively exploit emerging markets, such as Japan, Southeast Asia, Africa, and so forth. On the other hand, building PV power plants and other measures are taken to expand domestic markets. Some companies attempt to tackle the crisis by building production bases in foreign countries. At present, Canada, Japan and other markets has presented positive growth. In particular, Japan witnesses an increasing demand for PV products due to its subsidy policies in this line. According to the Organizing Committee of PV Guangzhou, some exhibitors have continuously lowered export volume to European and American markets, and have attached more importance to Japan, India, South Africa, Russia and other emerging markets. PV Guangzhou attracts professional visitors from Asia, South America, Africa and other emerging markets, which injects new vitality to the industry. Thought facing international trade friction and business transformation, PV Guangzhou 2013 will facilitate your emerging market expansion. PV Guangzhou 2013 will be held from August 19 to 21 and invite governments as well as related associations from emerging economies to attend, including Asia, South America, Africa, etc. It will not only help cope with the current crisis, but also play a role in exploiting emerging markets at home and abroad.

China’s photovoltaic industry has frequently encountered anti-dumping and anti-subsidy in foreign countries, giving rise to unprecedented difficulties for PV companies focusing on overseas markets. Thanks to cost reduction and emerging market exploitation, PV industry is gradually seeing recovery and positive development. However, many corporations are still facing hard times at the moment. Recently, talks between China and EU regarding PV disputes hit deadlock and the final outcome remains unknown. Once no consensus is reached by both sides, a punitive duty of 46.7% will be imposed on China’s PV products, which will lead to a more severe situation. Undeniably, the biggest problem for China’s PV industry lies in excess capacity and we’ve been suffering this issue for many years. To solve this problem, we have reached common ground, namely, vigorously expanding domestic and overseas markets. Based on the current situation, domestic PV industry seems quite promising in the future, but it cannot solve the current plight at present and exploiting new emerging markets can help us out. In this regard, many of them have been actively adjusting market strategies and exploiting new emerging markets instead of solely relying on European markets so as to cope with high punitive tariff on imported solar panels from China. According to the Organizing Committee of PV Guangzhou, some exhibitors have continuously lowered export volume to European and American markets, and have attached more importance to Japan, India, South Africa, Russia and other emerging markets. PV Guangzhou attracts professional visitors from Asia, South America, Africa and other emerging markets, which injects new vitality to the industry. Moreover, Yingli Solar, Hanergy, Canadian Solar and some leading companies have booked their booths at PV Guangzhou 2013. Thought facing international trade friction and business transformation, PV Guangzhou 2013 will facilitate your emerging market expansion.

Reed Tradex together with JETRO Ho Chi Minh Office and The Investment & Trade Promotion Centre of Ho Chi Minh City (ITPC) announce the co-location of “Business Alliance for Supporting Industry in Ho Chi Minh” together with “METALEX Vietnam” and “NEPCON Vietnam” to continue the support for Vietnam’s supporting industry during October 10-12. More than 12,000 visitors are expected during the three days of the show. Mr. Duangdej Yuaikwamdee, Deputy Managing Director of Reed Tradex said that last year, the Mega exhibitions in 2012 by Reed Tradex – JETRO – ITPC were very successful with total quality visitors turned up 13,789, an increase of 30% from 2011. This year, the Three Mega Exhibitions will continue to support the supporting industries in Vietnam again during October 10-12 in Ho Chi Minh City. These shows are “Business Alliance for Supporting Industry in Ho Chi Minh”, “METALEX Vietnam” and “NEPCON Vietnam.” Currently, Vietnam is a highly attractive investment destination for international manufacturers in automotive, electronics, and other supporting industries. Japan is the top FDI player in Vietnam and the new Japanese companies to Vietnam are continuing to increase their manufacturing capacity here. To keep up the competitiveness as well as acquiring new clients, Vietnamese manufacturers need to expand their production line as well as continuing to improve their productivity both in terms of quality and quantity. Finding the right partners to conduct business with for reciprocal interest would also help Vietnam’s industries to become strong and profitable in a long run. The technologies involved in the automotive and industrial parts keep evolving and changing, due to demands from the market place for new items with improved quality and functions. Thus, the Vietnamese manufacturers need to keep themselves updated on these developments at all times, while also look out for new technologies and skills that they need to adopt to remain competitive. “METALEX Vietnam 2013” will bring many international pavilions and suppliers from many countries including Thailand that would stimulate the production line upgrade as well as encouraging business dialogues between new and existing partners. For Vietnam electronics industry, now it has grown steadily under the government’s supports and the local manufacturers’ efforts. Accordingly, “NEPCON Vietnam 2013”, Vietnam’s Only Exhibition on SMT & Testing Technologies and Supporting Industries for Electronics Manufacturing, will offer an effective stage for electronics manufacturers to acquire innovative technologies to enhance their production. Moreover, it will be an effective business-generating tool for industrialists and manufacturers in this industry. A quality technology showcase from international brands will be presenting their cutting-edge innovations for industrialists to heighten production efficiency and competitiveness. The participants will meet business delegates from many countries, and get great chances to expand their businesses to overseas markets. We believe that these Mega Exhibitions will not only provide answer to their requirements but will also introduce new concepts, new trends, and new ideas, which will be complemented by new technologies and experts who can help them move forward and strengthen Vietnamese supporting industry in the process. The 3 exhibitions this October are the effective trading promotion, and they have so far contributed significantly to Vietnam’s industrial sector by enabling them to produce consistent output, find new export locations, liaison with foreign companies in Vietnam, offer matchmaking service for product suppliers and buyers, and many more. Mr. Hirotaka Yasuzumi, Managing Director of Japan External Trade Organization, Ho Chi Minh Office (JETRO) said that Vietnam is one of the promising countries for Japanese companies. By 2020, Vietnam will become an industrialized country with sufficient supplies of raw materials and basic fuels. Currently, Japanese are the biggest foreign investors in the country in terms of investment size, due to the advantages in low labor cost and a larger market. Japanese companies focus on components (e.g. small motors for the automotive industry’s export) and textiles. Vietnam has lower labor cost, and is suitable for marketing- or sales-based i.e. distribution outlets for Japanese products into Vietnam. Accordingly, JETRO would like to urge Vietnamese SMEs to develop higher competitiveness to prepare for the jobs that will follow Japan’s investment expansion. Consequently, the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Ho Chi Minh City sees great potential for development of trade, technology transfer and business relationships with Vietnamese manufacturers through “METALEX Vietnam” and the co-located “Business Alliance for Supporting Industry in Ho Chi Minh” which JETRO is a co-organizer along with the Investment & Trade Promotion Centre of Ho Chi Minh City will absolutely benefit Vietnamese manufacturers as they will get to meet the buyers from Japan directly at the shows. “Business Alliance for Supporting Industry in Ho Chi Minh” will be co-located with METALEX Vietnam and NEPCON Vietnam. There will be over 100 Japanese companies mainly in automobile, motorcycle and electronics parts manufacturing industries present. This is the chance for local Vietnamese companies to find the right machinery and solutions for their production upgrade from the cool technology from Japan especially mold & die making, electronics part manufacturing. Furthermore, they will be able to source new subcontractors, sell their parts to Japanese buyers and manufacturers as well. All participants will receive an opportunity to check out the most cost effective technology and machinery that match their requirement, as well as become representative of global brands, and learn new knowledge in seminars & technology presentation. Moreover, the conference and activities available will also help foster closer cooperation among Vietnamese industrialists and foreign investors including investors from Japan.
