(1) Barriers to technical and professional production experience

        According to the China Industry Insight Network, the bi-metal band saw blade industry is a technology-intensive industry and requires a relatively deep technical accumulation. Its production process involves more than a dozen processes, and the error of each link will continue to accumulate. Any deviation will be Lead to the defects of the final product performance, this strict requirements for the technical consistency of the complicated process, currently only a few companies can do it. In addition to the production technology, bi-metal band saw blades companies need to have continuous research and development capabilities, and the blade profiles and materials of the saw blades should be upgraded and improved to meet the new demands of the market in response to changes in materials and requirements of downstream customers. Newcomers entering the market can not fully grasp the technical and technological essentials required for saw blade production in a short period of time, and they also lack extensive customer base in order to be based on customers.

       (2) Funding barriers

          The value of key equipment necessary for the production of bi-metal band saw blades is relatively high, such as milling machines, grinding machines, leveling and straightening machines, and welding systems. In addition, due to the high raw material prices of bi-metal band saw blades and the long procurement cycle, raw material stocks There is a large amount of funds. In addition, with the development of the downstream industry, the user's requirements for the level of bi-metal band saw blade manufacturing technology have been significantly increased, the replacement cycle of the technology has been shortened, and the application of new technologies and the development of new products have become the core competitiveness of bi-metal band saw blade manufacturers. Only companies that maintain continuous innovation ability and continuously improve their technological level can occupy a place in the fiercely competitive market. Regardless of technological innovation, process improvement, or new product development, continuous capital investment is required, and there are higher capital requirements for industry participants. For new entrants, capital barriers are one of the barriers to entry for the bi-metal band saw blade industry.

       (3) Brand Awareness Barriers

          The bimetal band saw blade belongs to the consumable part of the metal cutting process and is the basic accessory of the band sawing machine. Compared to cutting materials and processing machinery, the unit price of bi-metal band saw blades is relatively low, so the end user decides which brand of bi-metal band saw blades to choose, the price sensitivity is relatively low, and the product's industry awareness and reputation And brand influence is an important basis for their choice. Since the brand influence of forming and enhancing a product is a long-term process, it is difficult for new entrants to establish a firm brand image in the short term.

      (4) Product Variety Diversity Barriers

         For different material cutting targets, the saw tooth density, tooth design, etc. of the bimetal band saw blade are quite different. Most of the downstream customers, especially the machining enterprises, have many types of metal that need to be cut during the production process. Usually, a variety of bimetal band saw blades are purchased. Due to factors such as centralized procurement advantages and after-sales service convenience, downstream customers prefer the saw blade manufacturers with more product specifications under the same conditions to ensure long-term and stable access to all types of bi-metal band saw blades and after-sales services. . Newcomers to the industry will find it difficult to grasp the production process of bi-metal band saw blades of various specifications in a short period of time. The ability to develop new types of tooth profiles based on downstream requirements is also relatively poor, and competition is at a disadvantage.

        (5) Barriers for professionals

          The quality and production efficiency of bi-metal band saw blades are inseparable from the production and technical personnel's experience and quality. Production companies need to be trained for a long time to establish skilled production personnel and qualified professional and technical personnel, and have a high level of technological development capabilities, process technology and inspection and testing skills. Therefore, talent barriers are one of the major barriers facing new entrants in the bi-metal band saw blade industry.
