Draw a portrait of the special new "Little Giant"
On September 8 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his congratulatory letter to the 2022 National Specialized, Special and New Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Conference that he hoped that specialized, specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises will focus on their main businesses and work intensively to improve the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain and promote the economy. play a more important role in social development.
At present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has cultivated 4 batches of 8,997 specialized, specialized, and new "little giant" enterprises, driving more than 40,000 provincial-level specialized, specialized, and new small and medium-sized enterprises to be recognized nationwide. More than 110,000.
What are the characteristics of these specialized and new "little giant" companies?
Which areas are you focusing on?
Large quantity and high quality, good growth momentum
SMEs are an important support for China's economic resilience and employment resilience, and are related to the overall economic and social development.
Zhu Hongren, executive vice president and chairman of the China Enterprise Confederation, introduced that in recent years, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises have chosen a new development path of specialization.
At the same time, it has become an important policy orientation to support small and medium-sized enterprises to take the development path of "specialization, refinement, specialization, and novelty".
What is the specialization and new "Little Giant"?
Recently, China SME Development Promotion Center, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, and China Industrial Internet Research Institute jointly released the "Report on the Development of Specialized, Specialized and New Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (2022)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") to showcase specialized, specialized, and new work. The positive results of the company have provided an accurate portrait of China's specialized and new "little giant" enterprises.
On the whole, specialized, specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises have developed well in the initial stage of the "14th Five-Year Plan", with continuous improvement in terms of total volume, structure, and quality.
The "Report" shows that by the end of 2021, specialized, special, and new "little giant" enterprises have achieved annual revenue of 3.7 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 30%, and the growth rate is about 11 percentage points higher than that of small and medium-sized industrial enterprises above designated size; The total profit exceeds 380 billion yuan, and the profit margin of operating income exceeds 10%, which is about 4 percentage points higher than that of small and medium-sized industrial enterprises above the designated size.
From the perspective of structure, the number of small and micro enterprises among the specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises has increased significantly.
Since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology started the cultivation work in 2019, among the first three batches of specialized and new "little giant" enterprises, more than half of them are medium-sized enterprises, accounting for about 57.8%; among the fourth batch of specialized and special new "little giant" enterprises, small The number of micro-enterprises exceeds that of medium-sized enterprises, accounting for about 56.1%.
In terms of ownership structure, about 84.5% of the current "little giant" enterprises specializing in specialization, specialization and innovation are private enterprises, and the proportion of state-owned enterprises and joint ventures is about 9% and 4.9% respectively.
In which industries are "little giants" companies located?
It is understood that there are 8,084 manufacturing enterprises among the specialized, specialized, and new "little giants" enterprises, accounting for 89.9%.
Looking at the sub-sectors, among the top ten companies specializing in new "little giants", 9 are in the manufacturing field, namely computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing (1193), special equipment manufacturing (1178) home), general equipment manufacturing (991), chemical raw material and chemical product manufacturing (819), electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing (718), automobile manufacturing (595), instrumentation manufacturing (445) ), non-metallic mineral products industry (369 companies), metal products industry (332 companies), and the other one is software and information technology service industry (553 companies).
In terms of regional distribution, 5,370 specialized, special and new "little giants" are concentrated in the eastern region, accounting for about 60%; 2,068 are located in the central region, accounting for about 23%; 1,167 are located in the western region, accounting for about 23%. about 13%.
The four provinces with the largest distribution of specialized and new "little giants" are Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong and Jiangsu.
In addition, Beijing, Shanghai, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other places also have many specialized and new "little giant" enterprises.
Practicing internal skills hard, there are unique skills in subdivided fields
Where is the "giant" of a specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprise reflected?
It is understood that although "little giant" enterprises are not large in size, they often have mastered many "unique skills" in their fields and have high technological content.
Some work hard to break through the bottleneck of development.
In Germany, Japan and other countries, the production of capacitor equipment is already a very mature technology.
However, for a long time, there is almost no fully automated production line in the domestic capacitor industry.
To this end, Guangdong Dongguan Shige Electronics Group Co., Ltd. has always adhered to the key point of technology research and development. With more than 20 years of deep cultivation, it finally broke through the technical bottleneck and developed "intelligent integrated production equipment", reaching the international advanced level in the same industry.
The fully automated production line of aluminum electrolytic capacitors produced by the company is the first in China, and the coating production line for ceramic capacitors is also the first in the world.
Today, with dozens of intelligent production lines newly developed by Sige Electronics, the machining accuracy of parts and components of many downstream processing enterprises has also improved.
Some are self-reliant and create excellent products.
In the business map of Shandong Weihai Molin Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd., camping trailers are "star products", which are exported to Australia, Canada, the United States and other markets.
"This product is our 'patent king', with 4 valid invention patents and 12 utility model patents. The RV is equipped with a brake calibration system independently developed by the company, which can obtain the best braking time by adjusting the lever and spring in the brake. , making conventional braking more effective. At the same time, the roof has our self-developed photovoltaic power generation system, which can provide renewable energy for refrigerators." Speaking of product advantages, the company's general manager Xinqing is confident.
In Xinqing's view, there is no off-season for R&D.
The "Report" shows that specialized, special and new "little giant" companies hold more than 140,000 invention patents, with an average of 15.7 valid invention patents per company.
Among them, specialized, special and new "Little Giant" enterprises as the main drafting unit have formulated and revised a total of more than 13,000 approved and published standards, including more than 6,000 national standards, more than 1,930 industry standards, and more than 5,300 group standards.
On average, each specialized, special and new "little giant" company developed 1.5 standards.
"The application of the fourth batch of specialized, special and new 'little giant' enterprises is very active, with a total of 13,000 enterprises applying." Liang Zhifeng, director of the Small and Medium Enterprise Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that according to preliminary analysis, relevant enterprises have strong innovation, high R&D investment, It has the characteristics of high degree of specialization, strong supporting ability, good growth and great development potential.
Policy support, bigger and stronger prospects
Specialized and special new "little giant" enterprises not only grow rapidly, but also benefit.
By the end of 2021, specialized, special, and new "little giants" enterprises have achieved a revenue of 3.7 trillion yuan, and an average operating income of 420 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 30%.
Among them, more than 1,000 specialized, special and new "little giant" enterprises will have an operating income of less than 100 million yuan in 2021, accounting for 12%; the annual operating income of most enterprises will be in the range of 100 million yuan (inclusive) to 1 billion yuan, and the proportion will increase to 80%; the number of specialized, special and new "little giants" companies with revenue exceeding 1 billion yuan (inclusive) increased to more than 700, a year-on-year increase of 76%.
"Little giants" thrive without the strong support of policies.
According to reports, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have pooled their strengths to support the innovative development of small and medium-sized enterprises by improving the policy support system, strengthening financial support, continuously innovating and cultivating measures, and gradually optimizing the cultivation environment.
"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance, through special funds for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, have focused on supporting some national specialized, special and new 'little giant' enterprises in three batches to improve their innovation capabilities, and have allocated more than 4 billion yuan of financial funds. Metatech has innovated the re-lending support tool to include specialized, specialized, and new SMEs in the scope of support. The National SME Development Fund has supported 276 specialized, specialized, and new SMEs in total." Liang Zhifeng said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to implement the "For "Specialized, Specialized and New" Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Doing Practical List", further improve the cultivation service measures in terms of funds, talents, technology, incubation platform construction, etc., and firmly support small and medium-sized enterprises to take the road of specialization, specialization and new development.
Zhou Minliang, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with this reporter that attaching importance to the real economy, supporting industrial manufacturing, and caring for market players are major features of China's economic policies in recent years.
"Specialized and new 'little giant' companies are emerging in large numbers, but it should be noted that these companies are generally in the early stages of development, and some companies still have problems with insufficient characteristics, especially in the fields of basic materials, software services, and parts and components. There are still shortcomings." Zhou Minliang said.
In the future, how to make the "little giant" grow better?
Zhou Minliang suggested that, on the one hand, the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises should highlight their main business, focus on market demand, select the main direction of attack, rationally allocate resources, and transform innovative achievements into practical implementation.
On the other hand, policy support should be further strengthened, and a better environment should be created in terms of industry standards, quality monitoring, brand cultivation, and rule-making, so as to help more "little giants" become bigger and stronger.
Zhu Hongren said that specialized, specialized, and new SMEs are an indispensable and important force for the improvement of national innovation capabilities. Vigorously developing specialized, specialized, and new enterprises is becoming China's economy to resist economic operation risks, improve industrial competitiveness, forge the resilience of the manufacturing industry, and cultivate new The economic growth point and the key move to consolidate the foundation of economic growth are also the path that the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises should take.
"It is hoped that SME service agencies can form a service method of 'seeking innovation, seeking truth, precision and efficiency', and guiding SMEs to benchmark, specialize, and specialize in new 'little giants' to achieve high-quality development." Zhu Hongren said.
