PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE

Globalisation is like a fast train. It stops only at few platforms and not every place in the world is connected to it. We have to find ways to get more people on to that train. Market growth and distribution will vary with different patterns of geography and social development; the industry must be part of the transformation and keep pace with market developments to benefit. The fabrication, welding and coating industry has experienced a significant geographical shift caused by rapid growth in emerging  markets in countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. The industry makes a substantial contribution to the global economy and to individual national economies, both in production and recycling activities.

The top markets for the industry include transportation , packaging, consumer products, building and construction . Transportation  continues to be the largest market for sheet metal fabrication , welding and coatings. The global geography of the fabrication, welding and coating .industry has experienced major reconstructive and geographic changes driven by energy environment and market . The Asia market will contribute to more than 60% of the increase in almost all sectors , including transportation , construction and consumer durables (like TV, Fridge etc);however, the emerging market is focused on infrastructure building, transportation, machinery and equipments, electrical, ship building and container and packaging which is different from the pattern in western countries.

The rise in energy and the need for environmental protection worldwide make the industry to look for newer technology, efficient utilization of material, manpower and energy. Although the industry is currently successful in key markets such as transportation , packaging and construction, a number of  challenges are emerging from the increasing energy , raw material and environmental. Innovation is the key to staying competitive and growing in the face of these challenges and opportunities.

The industry in the developing countries will focus on innovation and technology because the market volume in these countries will grow at a relatively steady rate . Research and development is vital to provide robust and cost effective solutions. Providing better produces selections guidance, increasing the use of automation and robots, lowering reject and repair rates.

The future growth of the industry will require significant resources, which without new technological approaches may constrain the supply of raw materials and create additional environmental issues . New approaches that may reshape the industry it self are needed to keep the industry healthy and sustainable. Advances are needed in information technology inorder to have “smart material” ready to use in 2020.

Growth of business in an of shortening product life cycle and aggressive competition requires not only speedily available innovative inputs and rapid access to international markets but also measures for the protection of new technologies and products through appropriate intellectual property rights.

So, we need look beyond India to grow and compete. It is misnomer to say that we go out and sell . We must go and sell where people do not want you, or people say that we are not capable.

In the era of globalization, it is very difficult for an industrial enterprise to survive by itself . Hence there is a definite need  for strategic alliance and in case forging of alliance between enterprises and institutions is crucial for their survival and growth.

In order to fully exploit the potential and capabilities of industry and to integrate them with worlds economics.
