Should encourage the development of environmental industry-level developers

With an average annual growth rate of around 30%, the scale of China's environmental service industry is rapidly expanding. The market's forecast is: By the end of 2015, the scale of China's environmental service industry will reach 250 billion yuan.

“But at present, the overall size of companies in the industry is small.” A few days ago, at the just-concluded National “Two Conferences” in 2015, NPC deputy and chairman of Yongqing Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. Liu Zhengjun (300187. SZ) reported on 21st Century Business Herald. Frankly speaking, in the current environmental industry service industry, the main players in the competition are more dispersed, which is not conducive to the development of China's environmental protection industry. And many excellent companies in the field of specialization should join together to increase the creation of soft environments, achieve industrial upgrading, and effectively solve environmental problems.

Environmental industry service industry refers to the industry formed by environmental protection enterprises providing public services to the government, and is also a sub-sector of China's large environmental protection industry. According to Liu Zhengjun, China's environmental industry has experienced three shifts in its service interface. The market players it promotes are basically governments. The government is both a fundraiser for environmental planning, an integrator of various professional governance processes, and a control system for various projects. The government plays a role as a first-tier developer and serves the procurement unit of environmental companies. The market-based elements are not very strong.

But this situation was broken in 2014. Liu Zhengjun explained that since 2014, China’s environmental issues have become increasingly complex, policies have been introduced frequently, and the public’s environmental awareness has rapidly increased. They are all pushing the fourth upward shift in the industry service interface. That is, the government has begun to provide effective results to enterprises. Environmental services. At the same time, with the upward shift of the industrial service interface, the reform of the national investment and financing system and the deepening of the clean-up of the local debt platform have greatly promoted the further weakening of the government's public service functions, and thus promoted the government procurement of environmental public service needs. Release.

But to seize this market opportunity, it is difficult for companies in the industry. “The current environmental service industry already has some problems.” Liu Zhengjun pointed out that one of the most basic problems is that there is a lack of service platforms in the industry that can promote the interaction between environmental enterprises and form collaborations. For example, industry associations can work closely with companies in the industry. Organizations, etc. More importantly, the current environmental issues are complex, but environmental companies have relatively simple means of linking resources. China has a lot of environmental service companies that do a very good job of segmentation. Most of them are focused on the market but they are integrating resources, obtaining information, Many areas such as cross-domain technologies have limited capabilities, and there is insufficient attention and investment in branding. In the face of environmental issues that are cross-regional, cross-field, time-varying, capital-intensive, and technically difficult, companies lack a unified, unified solution. As an emerging industry, the business enterprises are not understood by the main players outside the market. All kinds of financing channels for industry and enterprises are single, and the financing costs are also high.

How can the environmental industry overcome the above-mentioned difficulties? Liu Zhengjun suggested that we should encourage the development of a group of environmental industry first-class developers that truly trust the government, be effective in governance, and provide cross-regional integrated services. They provide more than just a single link of environmental services such as tackling financial issues. In a global and more systematic perspective, instead of providing environmental public services, the government will truly solve environmental problems. From the perspective of the development of the industry itself, after nearly 30 years of development, the environmental service industry has begun to take shape, and a group of environmental enterprises with strong overall strength have grown up and are undergoing a transition to the first-tier developers, such as Yongqing Environmental Protection. , Beijing Enterprises Water, First Capital and other companies.

In addition, through the establishment of a number of industry platform agencies, through capital, projects, brand communication, strategy, etc., as a link, so that the strength of the "Environmental level developers" and other sub-field leading enterprises to form a cooperative relationship. In addition, strategic consulting, branding, resource integration, investment and financing for companies specializing in environmental issues, professional industrial service companies that understand environmental industrial policies and trends, and services can be formed to form the integrity of the soft and hard environment.
