The ship supporting industry is an important component of China's shipbuilding industry and a significant factor affecting the overall strength of the shipbuilding industry. The backwardness of China's shipbuilding supporting industry seriously restricts the improvement of the international competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry. Especially since the beginning of the new century, with the rapid development of China's shipbuilding industry, the problem of ship matching has become increasingly severe and prominent. Here is a brief introduction to the prospects of the development of China's shipbuilding industry.

(l) The competition in the domestic ship supporting market is intensifying

After the financial crisis, large international supporting enterprises (groups) have turned their attention to China's shipbuilding market, especially Japan and South Korea. Domestic low-speed marine machinery manufacturers have a deep understanding of this. According to the predictions of the international shipbuilding industry, although the world's new shipbuilding market will resume growth during the 12th Five Year Plan period, the shipbuilding market will still be at a low level. In the next two to three years, the shipbuilding market will still be in an adjustment period, and there will not be significant growth in trading volume and ship prices. Insufficient demand in the shipbuilding market will lead to a decline in demand for ship supporting industries. It can be foreseen that the number of international large-scale supporting enterprises (groups) entering China in the future will continue to increase, and the competition in the domestic ship supporting market will intensify.

(2) The comparative advantage of domestic enterprises is gradually weakening

With the continuous increase of labor costs in our country, the appreciation of the RMB's foreign exchange rate and the depreciation of its domestic currency, the original comparative advantages of our supporting enterprises will gradually be weakened, which will make it more difficult for domestic supporting enterprises to develop.

(3) Industrial restructuring is inevitable

On the one hand, the domestic supporting industries have serious low-level redundant construction, low industrial concentration, and weak independent innovation capabilities; On the other hand, the domestic supporting development environment is becoming increasingly severe. With the release of the "Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions" and the increasingly fierce competition in the domestic supporting market in the future, the adjustment of the domestic supporting industrial structure will be inevitable.
