Abstract Last year, the domestic manufacturing sector was struggling, with many feeling uncertain about the future. Everyone hoped that the new government would bring a fresh start this year. However, the economic situation in the first quarter of 2023 did not meet expectations. On April 15, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing a GDP growth rate of 7.7% for the first quarter, which fell short of market forecasts and raised concerns about the country's economic trajectory.
The rapid development of China over the past three decades has largely been driven by a "short economy" model—expanding production capacity to meet both domestic and global demand. Every industry added new capacity year after year, creating opportunities for all. But from 2008 to 2012, the U.S. financial crisis and the European debt crisis hit the global economy hard, sending shockwaves through China’s economic landscape. With declining exports and slowing investment, industries across the board now face the challenge of overcapacity. The era of easy growth is behind us, and the fast-paced expansion seen in previous years is unlikely to return. Sustained economic growth will now depend more on boosting domestic demand, a process that will be slower and require long-term planning. This shift will significantly impact all sectors.
The superhard materials and products industry, like other sectors, is transitioning from rapid expansion to sustainable development. The global economy, the domestic environment, and the conditions in our customer industries are all undergoing major changes. In short, the competitive landscape we operate in has transformed dramatically. This brings increased pressure, and many feel that the good times are fading. This is a natural outcome of evolving economic laws and shifting competition. The new environment will become the norm, and we must be fully aware of it and prepare for the long term.
After years of effort, Benlang has grown into one of the leading companies in the domestic superhard materials industry, establishing a strong competitive edge in the global ceramic processing tool segment. However, we must also recognize that as competitors improve their learning capabilities, some of our product advantages are shrinking, and in some cases, they have already been surpassed. Previously, the cost-effectiveness of Benlang’s products was a key strength, but this advantage is gradually weakening. Additionally, the high standards of customer service that once defined us are no longer as consistent. These signs indicate that our competitiveness is at risk. This is a serious warning.
Market competition is like rowing upstream—if you don’t move forward, you fall back. Competitors won’t give you time to catch your breath, and customers won’t accept products or services without a clear value proposition. The market is fair to everyone; there is no bad market or bad industry—only companies that fail to adapt. Therefore, we must take the initiative to adjust to the changing competitive environment. Let go of the old “industry leader†mindset and approach the market with a zero-based mentality, competing on equal footing with others. On one hand, we need to focus inward, strengthen our technology, production, marketing, and customer service, continuously enhance our competitiveness, and offer products and services that stand out from the competition. By doing so, we can create real value for our customers.
If this is the case, why are the markets changing? The answer lies in the evolving global and domestic economic conditions, the rise of new competitors, and the increasing demands of customers. These factors are reshaping the business landscape, and only those who adapt quickly and effectively will thrive. The time to act is now.
