China's ceramic industry cluster is not equal to industrial clusters

In modern economics, there is also a clear difference between industrial agglomeration and industrial clusters. The former refers to a process in which the same industry is highly concentrated in a certain geographical area, and industrial capital elements are continuously concentrated in the space. The typical case is as before. The large and small production areas where the “slabization” and “fragmentation” rise; the latter are enterprises and specializations that have competition and cooperation in specific regions, and are geographically concentrated and interactive. Suppliers, service providers, financial institutions, manufacturers of related industries, and other related organizations, such as the competitive advantage that Foshan Ceramics retains after shutting down and moving out of the factory. This advantage is obviously the advantage of industrial clusters. , not the advantage of industrial concentration.

Obviously, industrial agglomeration emphasizes the agglomeration of enterprises in the same production area, which is the constant superposition of the same type of capital and industrial factors. The last change is the effect of 1+1+1+...=N; while the industrial cluster emphasizes The mutual cooperation, division of labor and cooperation between downstream industries, their economic aggregates and fusion can be expressed by 1+1+1+...>N. The biggest effect of industrial clusters is that the reduction of production costs, such as large-scale production based on specialized division of labor, will greatly reduce production costs; second, bring innovation and activities, and different industrial factors In the process of logistics and information flow, it has been continuously optimized and become an important force to promote the industry's internal and external capacity innovation.
Judging from the current development of the ceramic industry, the ceramic industry has a certain scale of area, that is, the production area, there are dozens of less in the country, but most of these areas are not called industrial clusters, or There are no industrial clusters, including Zibo, Gao'an and Jiajiang, which are relatively large in scale. It can only be said that they have the foundation for cultivating industrial clusters and have the prototype of industrial clusters.

The only mature industrial cluster in China, currently only Foshan, Foshan, in addition to strong capacity advantages, brand advantages, network advantages, talent advantages, information advantages, headquarters advantages, etc., its perfect and mature ceramic machinery, ceramics and other supporting equipment The industry is not available in any other producing area, including Sassuolo in Italy and Valencia in Spain. We know that although Italy is a strong producer of ceramic tiles, its ceramic machine technology is world-class, but its color glaze industry is far behind, while Spain is just right, the color glaze industry is developing rapidly, but the ceramic industry But it is seriously lagging behind. Therefore, from the perspective of the balance and integrity of industrial cluster development, Foshan has the most complete and mature ceramic industry cluster in the world, which is also the root cause of the famous “Foshan Ceramics”. No matter how many pottery machines, chemical companies sales outlets and offices in a production area, if there is no integration between upstream and downstream industrial factors, lack of independent research and development and innovation capabilities, and lack of competent human resources, it is difficult to form a true sense. The industrial clusters lack the core driving force for industrial innovation and development.

So, how do new production areas cultivate their own industrial clusters? The author believes that in addition to the concept of industrial clustering and industrial cluster two, it is necessary to understand the relationship between the two. Industrial clusters depend on industrial clusters. Just like the relationship between seeds and soil. Without industrial clusters, there is no industrial cluster. However, industrial clustering is not the same as industrial clusters. No matter how large the industry is, if it does not have the characteristics of industrial clusters, Talking about not an industrial cluster. Judging from the current situation, Gao'an and Zibo are the two most likely producers to cultivate industrial clusters after Foshan, but the paths of the two are different. Zibo has certain capacity advantages and is currently eliminating backward production capacity. In the process of industrial upgrading, among these, further development and expansion of related supporting industries should be the key to the transformation and upgrading of Zibo's ceramics industry. At the same time, the production capacity of Gao'an production area has begun to take shape, appropriately slowing down and even controlling the growth of new production capacity. Optimizing the structure of Gao'an ceramic industry through the development of supporting industries is also a top priority for Gao'an ceramics industry.

The most powerful and long-lasting competitiveness of an industry is not the scale of the industry, but the industrial cluster. Therefore, cultivating and developing industrial clusters is far more important than the scale of the industry.
