70% Enterprises Believe That The Cost Of Raw Materials Is The Biggest Difficulty.

The report is a joint visit by the joint Alibaba group of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University in September this year. It visited the 11 professional markets and 15 local banks of 95 small businesses in 6 counties and cities in the Pearl River Delta, and conducted online research on the 2889 small businesses in the Pearl River Delta through the form of network questionnaires.

The report shows that the profit of small businesses has declined sharply this year, compared with 2010, the average profit has decreased by about 30%-40%. Management The difficulties are increasing. In the face of rising production costs, small businesses lack the ability to increase profits through brand building and core technology.

Taking PRD clothing industry raw material prices as an example, the price of clothing fabrics has risen by 30%-80%. In previous years, the cost price of the cotton sweater fabric was about 25 yuan, up to 45 yuan this year. In the past year, the cost of the cotton T-shirt fabric cost was 5-8 yuan, now it rises to 10-15 yuan. Most small businesses are at the end of the industrial chain, and can not spanfer the pressure of cost increase to the pricing of products, only to lose profits.

In addition, the increase in labor costs has also squeezed the profits of small businesses. The wages of small business workers in the Pearl River Delta region rose by 20%-30% compared with 2010, and the wages of some senior technicians increased by more than 100%. Nowadays, the average monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the Pearl River Delta is around 2000-3000, skilled workers can reach 4000-5000, and skilled workers can get higher. Even so, enterprises still face the problem of large mobility and difficulty in recruiting workers. The rise in labor costs is one of the three biggest predicaments faced by enterprises at present. The proportion of enterprises is also 52.44%, second only to the rising cost of raw materials.

In addition, the reduction of orders and exchange rate changes also weaken the profits of small businesses. Small businesses profit While space is constantly compressed, it lacks the ability to enhance profits through brand building and core technology. Take the underwear manufacturers of Pearl River Delta as an example, the profit of pure processing enterprises is only 5%, and the profit of OEM is up to 20%, and the profits of private brand enterprises can be higher. According to the survey data, only 32% of the small brands with certain influence brands are on the brand, and only 18% of the small businesses have their own patents.

Obviously, the lack of brand value added guarantees that small businesses will have a marginal profit in rising production costs. situation It was easily squeezed.

According to the report, the rise in the cost of raw materials leads to a sharp decline in profit of small enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, the increase of the cost of labor, the shrinking of orders at home and abroad, and the exchange rate of exchange rates, which are also squeezing the profits of the enterprise. Small enterprises can only consume 09 or 10 years of good economic situation. Affected by the tight credit funds of large and medium-sized enterprises and the decline of purchasing power of foreign customers, the pressure of raw material procurement payment increased, the accounts receivable of finished products were extended, the funds pressure was obvious, and the demand for financing increased. The report suggests that under the current economic environment, various small business support policies should be implemented, and the burden of small enterprises can be lighten by means of Taxation, so as to improve the financing channels for small businesses and promote the capital turnover of small businesses.

At yesterday's report conference, Professor Zhou Qiren, Dean of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, said: "macro monetary policy changes have brought great challenges to the overall economy in terms of micro and industry."

In his view, adhering to prudent monetary policy will cause difficulties for small business financing, so we need to accelerate interest rate reform so that small businesses that can bear higher interest rates will get loans.

As far as the enterprise itself is concerned, Zhou Qiren believes that at present, small businesses must first control costs and attach importance to expanding the domestic demand market. To develop the domestic market, we must have competitive products.

Hu Xiaoming, vice president of Alibaba group, told reporters that "the investigation of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region is a follow-up to previous research on small businesses in Zhejiang. Small enterprises are the core competitiveness of China's participation in global market competition. Zhejiang and Guangdong are one of the most intensive regions in China's small businesses. The results of the two survey make us realize that China's small businesses have an extremely strong vitality, but lack of effective guidance and financing support, and the negative factors are eating away the lifeline of small businesses. It is urgent to give effective guidance and give small businesses support at the level of financing.
