Doors, windows, and curtain walls are expanding at the time of the Russian market

Beijing has a lot of historical "Su-style architecture" and it still stands upright after years of hardship and rain. Russia has astounding literary and artistic achievements and profound defense industry, but it has no leading edge in other industries and manufacturing. Russian construction materials, especially high-end and new construction materials, need to be imported in large quantities, especially for door and window curtain walls. The Russian construction industry is relatively prosperous, providing an excellent opportunity for overseas door and window curtain wall companies to develop the Russian construction market.

The real estate market is prosperous. Russia has the world's largest land area and is a country with abundant resources. After the financial crisis, relying on rich natural resources and oil economy, the Russian economy recovered rapidly. Residents’ income has continued to grow, and the demand for housing has also grown. The huge demand has pushed real estate prices soaring. According to statistics of the world’s most expensive real estate appraisal activities in 2008, Moscow’s housing prices once ranked second in the world. In 2011, the Ministry of Development of Russia announced the average market price of real estate in the second quarter of the year, among which the Moscow City continued to be ranked first, with house prices at 81,400 rubles per square meter, or about 2,860 US dollars. The boom in the Russian real estate market has spurred demand for construction and decoration materials, including doors, windows and curtain walls.

Russia is located in the north temperate zone and the cold zone, and the climate is relatively cold. The advantage of plastic windows for energy conservation due to thermal insulation is obvious. In addition, it has a better price advantage than aluminum broken bridges, which occupies a dominant position in the market and is more common in residential buildings. Aluminum windows are often used in office buildings and residential balconies, flower beds or gardens due to their unique texture.

The products of windows, doors and curtain walls rely on imports. From Russia's trade shows, Russia’s door and window curtain wall market is “European”. The first-line brands are obviously occupied by German and Italian products, covering PVC plastic steel profiles, hardware, and deep processing equipment for doors and windows; Turkey and China are the main products, dividing the metal, doors and windows deep-processing equipment and some of the profile market here; Russia's domestic companies are mostly large-scale agents, and production companies are few.

At present, the door and window curtain wall products required by Russia are mainly imported from Germany, the United States, Italy, Turkey, China and other countries. It is understood that the profiles provided by European companies represented by Germany and Italy account for more than 80% of the total imports of Russian profiles, of which 2/3 are from Germany. Profine Group, which owns KBE, Kommerling and Tropical, is the manufacturer with the highest market share in Russia's plastic window industry. Other well-known German profile processors include Rehau, Veka, Gealan, Salamander, and L. B. Profile companies. Due to the nature of the profile itself, if long-distance transport would incur higher costs, many companies have already built plants in Russia. Veka and Kommerling were the first to set up factories in the area around Moscow.

Chinese and Turkish products favored European products, although of high quality, but the price is higher. In contrast, door and window curtain walls in China and Turkey are clearly competitive in price. At the same time, the products of China and Turkey are also of equal quality, so both in the Southeast Asian market and the Russian market, the two always meet in a narrow way.

It is understood that Russia's economy spans between East and West, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very large. Some people even compared the economic development differences between the East and the West to the "Latin America and Europe gap." In the western region where the economy is relatively developed, Turkish products, especially products such as door and window curtain wall deep-processing equipment, which are costly in the long-distance transportation, are more favored. In addition to the geographical advantages of Turkey, deep cultural factors are also one of the important reasons.

Of course, with the improvement of Chinese enterprises’ product manufacturing capabilities, many products have reached European standards. For example, some current tops, hardware accessories and other products are gradually being accepted by the Russian market. In addition, the Far East region of Russia, because it is a relatively economically backward region in China, many materials need to be imported from neighboring countries. In recent years, distributors and construction companies in the region have often organized delegations to China for procurement. For example, China's profile brands Conch, Shide, Gaoke, and Jianmei have established good cooperative relations with Russian companies.

The bottleneck of market development Russia's energy-saving construction started late. There is still no requirement for energy-saving indicators. This has brought difficulties to the market development of energy-saving product manufacturers. At the same time, due to the lack of relevant laws and regulations, the market order is not ideal.

Not only that, but the Russian Customs is also a serious problem that has caused many traders headaches. The cumbersome customs clearance procedures do not say, but also costly and time-consuming. Many customers who visited Russia exhibited goods or publicity materials being detained. They had to take extraordinary measures to pay a certain amount of “penalty” to get through. Some companies have waited until the start of the show and still have not received the goods, let alone "exports". Most Russians do not speak English. Coupled with cultural differences between China and Russia, it is more difficult for Chinese companies to open up markets in Russia.

It is understood that with the continuous growth of Sino-Russian trade, relevant departments are taking relevant measures to solve the trade bottlenecks.
