Baoji is known as the "cradle and flagship of China's titanium industry" and the "China Titanium Valley" named by the state. It is the permanent site of the China International Titanium Industry Expo and the largest research and development and production base for titanium and titanium alloys in China. Baoji's titanium production and processing volume accounts for 65% of the national total and 33% of the global total, making it the world's largest titanium industry cluster. In 2022, our city will focus on building the "World Titanium Capital · China Titanium Valley" and building an international first-class titanium industry cluster, and deeply implement the "Six Major Projects". The titanium and titanium alloy industry cluster in the city will achieve an output value of 61 billion yuan, with a titanium production and processing volume of approximately 65000 tons, ranking first in the world in terms of cluster size.
Since last year, the Municipal Party Committee and Government have deeply implemented the "group leader system" and "chain leader system", issued the "Action Plan for the High Quality Development of the Titanium and Titanium Alloy Industry Chain in Baoji City", clarified the industrial development ideas, implemented the "six major projects" of leading enterprise growth, small and medium-sized enterprise agglomeration, chain extension and strengthening, innovation ability improvement, talent introduction and training, and service system optimization, and proposed the "1151" development goal, The development level of the industrial chain has significantly improved.
In 2022, the titanium industry in the city achieved an output value of 61 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%; The production and processing volume of titanium materials is about 65000 tons, an increase of 8.3% year-on-year; The cluster size has ranked first globally. From the "national treasure" to the titanium products that enter ordinary people's homes, "Baoji Titanium" is shining brightly.
Leading enterprises drive the formation of "chains" and "clusters" to improve quality and efficiency. As a titanium and titanium alloy research and development and manufacturing enterprise, Baoti Group is renowned in the industry for its large scale and complete system. It has led the formulation of over 90% of standards in the titanium industry in China, representing the development level of China's titanium industry, and its comprehensive strength ranks among the top three in the global titanium industry. In 2022, the production of titanium products reached 34200 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10.8%; The operating revenue was 25.38 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.3%, and the profit growth rate reached three digits. As a "chain leader" enterprise in the titanium and titanium alloy industry chain of Baoji, Baoti Group has deepened cooperation with various private titanium enterprises while developing itself, driving more than 50 titanium related private enterprises to develop together, extending the titanium industry chain upstream and downstream, and taking new steps in the development of resources such as sponge titanium.
With the assistance of leading enterprises and industrial park agglomeration, the quality and efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprise agglomeration have been improved. At present, the Baoji Titanium and Titanium Alloy New Materials Industry Cluster has been selected as a national characteristic industrial cluster for small and medium-sized enterprises, with over 600 titanium related enterprises in the cluster. In 2022, the number of enterprises above designated size increased from 114 to 136, the number of national level specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises increased from 5 to 10, and the number of provincial-level "specialized, refined, and new" small and medium-sized enterprises increased from 17 to 25. The number of specialized, refined, and new enterprises ranks first in all industries in the city.
The effect of chain extension and reinforcement is significant. Throughout the year, there were 86 projects under construction that attracted investment, involving a total investment of 40.2 billion yuan. A large number of key projects and major equipment for chain extension and replenishment, such as the 5G Intelligent Titanium Melting Industrial Park, the National Titanium Metal High end Manufacturing Industrial Park, and the Jucheng Titanium Industry High end Equipment Industrial Park, have started construction or put into operation. The innovation and research and development capabilities have significantly increased. The titanium industry chain currently has 2 national level professional research and development platforms and 3 public research and development platforms. There are 7 national and provincial enterprise technology centers, 22 gazelle enterprises, and 110 high-tech enterprises.
Han Mingfang, Deputy Chain Leader of Baoji Titanium and Titanium Alloy Industry Chain, Director of the Municipal Economic Cooperation Bureau: In 2023, strive to increase the number of main enterprises in the titanium industry chain by 1-2. Strive to become a national level "little giant" in the titanium industry throughout the year More than two provincial-level specialized, refined, and new small and medium-sized enterprises have been added, and one enterprise has successfully gone public. Throughout the year, at least one new intelligent manufacturing demonstration project, demonstration enterprise, and demonstration factory will be added; Recruit no less than 5 leading and exemplary key projects in key links of the industrial chain. Encourage enterprises to actively apply for the construction of enterprise technology centers, and strive to add no less than 5 national and provincial level enterprise technology centers throughout the year. Vigorously introduce high-end talents in key fields and key links, providing solid professional talent support for the high-quality development of the titanium industry. Optimize services to create a first-class industrial ecosystem. Fully leverage the service functions of social organizations and further assist in the construction of a comprehensive industrial ecosystem
