It is understood that in order to improve the quality of fireworks and firecrackers and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents from the source, in 20 13, China issued and implemented the mandatory national standard GB10631-2013 "Safety Quality of Fireworks and Firecrackers". This standard is the basic safety standard in the field of fireworks and firecrackers in China, which makes overall requirements for the safety and quality of fireworks and firecrackers.
Near the end of the year and the beginning of the year, it is the time when fireworks and firecrackers are selling well. However, for Liuyang, the world-famous hometown of fireworks, the sales of fireworks industry are somewhat "cold" this year.
In the past year, during the month of June 5438+February, governments all over the country were preparing for the fireworks display party, and fireworks enterprises would receive bidding information from all over the country. But so far this year, many enterprises have not received the bidding information of government water release on New Year's Day and Spring Festival. At the same time, the total number of orders from dealers has also decreased compared with last year. Although the number of orders from dealers in rural areas has increased, the number of orders from large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing and Shanghai has dropped significantly.
Li Dingping, secretary of Liuyang Fireworks Bureau, said that with the increasingly acute environmental problems and the deepening of national austerity measures, most of the large-scale fireworks display activities that were popular in China in previous years were cancelled this year, and related fireworks products were unsalable.
At the same time, there are not a few safety accidents caused by fireworks and firecrackers in the Spring Festival every year, and fireworks and firecrackers have become a veritable "happy killer". Before the Spring Festival every year, there will be a debate on whether fireworks should be banned on the Internet. This year, many people began to call for "starting from yourself and not setting off firecrackers." The sound of "banning" fireworks and firecrackers in various places has come and gone, and the fireworks industry has fallen into a haze.
Therefore, more fireworks retailers predict that this year's Spring Festival fireworks sales are not optimistic. "The weather is an important factor affecting the sales of fireworks. In previous years, due to the severe smog, PM2.5 exceeded the standard. Many cities had temporary regulations prohibiting the discharge of fireworks. Because it is impossible to predict the weather during the Spring Festival this year, it is still difficult to make market judgments. " Li Dingping said.
"This year, our total output will be appropriately lowered compared with previous years, which is expected to be about 80% of last year's output." The person in charge of a well-known fireworks production enterprise in Liuyang, Hunan introduced.
"Although government procurement consumption has been frustrated, private personal consumption has not been greatly affected, and sales of related products have not declined." Liu Dingping said that under the influence of frugality, small and micro fireworks products developed and produced by many fireworks companies began to be favored by the market for their low prices, green drugs and unique artistic arrangement.
Many fireworks companies in Liuyang have turned their attention to overseas markets. A person in charge of a fireworks company said that domestic orders have been greatly reduced, but sales in foreign markets are good, and the company's exports have increased by 20% this year.
"At present, the market' crisis' we encounter is also an opportunity for the industry." The person in charge of Jinsheng Fireworks said that in the past, the overall price of Liuyang Fireworks was low, and the product quality could not be improved, which was inseparable from the phenomenon that a few enterprises in the industry illegally produced and shoddy. Now we must change, find the root of the problem and take it seriously. This is not only responsible for ourselves, but also for the industry.
Fu, deputy secretary of Liuyang Municipal Committee, said that the fireworks and firecrackers industry has reached a period of deep adjustment, which is an inevitable phenomenon of the law of economic development. When the domestic market is affected, the focus can be adjusted to export. When the market of big cities in China is depressed, we can also learn from "the countryside surrounds the cities" and take small and medium-sized cities as the main battlefield.
