Imported goods rely on technology to gain competitive advantage Home-made presses lose billions of dollars annually

In recent years, the annual growth rate of China's plastics machinery industry is about 30%, which is one of the fastest growing industries in China's machinery industry. However, in spite of this, according to incomplete calculations, domestic plastic press exports are not counted, and China's presses still have a market gap of 10 billion yuan each year. Is China's presses production insufficient? In fact, a large number of low-precision, small-sized injection molding machines, extruders, and blow molding machines have become the industry's indisputable fact because they are making sales difficult. Why then is there a market gap of 10 billion yuan? The core problem may still be technology.

According to statistics, China imports tens of thousands of plastic machines each year, and the unit price of imported precision presses is usually several times or even more than ten times that of domestically produced goods. Since domestic plastic machines are almost impossible to compete with imported Japanese and European products in terms of efficiency, precision, and stability, almost all of the large-scale, high-speed, precision, and specialized equipment fields are occupied by imported goods. At the same time, due to market and other factors, China's plastics production in 2005 showed a negative growth, down 5.39% over the previous year.

This shows that foreign advanced press manufacturers have a clear competitive advantage in technology, and the lack of technology is seriously affecting the development of China's press industry. In some of China's press product fields, imported equipment occupies a dominant position, such as China's heat-resistant PET bottle production equipment, optical disc production equipment, middle and high-end car plastic cover equipment, precision electronic parts production equipment, and ceramics for precision ceramic components. Injection molding machines and magnetic injection molding machines that produce silicon-boron electronic components are almost all imported equipment. In addition, high-grade film or special engineering plastics production equipment is also the world of imported production lines.

Experts predict that in the future China's press market, high-tech content, energy saving, environmental protection, large-scale, all-electronic, composite and special-purpose plastic presses will have better prospects, and high-end brand presses will be widely recognized by the market. Some domestic companies have also tasted the sweetness of increasing technological content.

Mr. Yang from the marketing department of Fuzhou Tongjie Plastic Machinery Factory told the reporter that last year, the plastics processing industry saw a decrease in the overall increase due to the excessively high raw material prices, which reduced the demand for presses, but Tongjie’s sales volume remained stable and increased, relying on the Czech products with higher technological content. “Energy saving, low consumption, precision, automation, and high value-added presses have become the user's first choice. Plastic press manufacturers need to carry out technological transformation and technological upgrading of existing products earlier to withstand the accidents that the press market may encounter.” Mr. Yang thinks so.

While the number of imported plastics machines in China continues to grow, domestic plastics machine exports continue to increase. According to a staff member of the Quanzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, 2005 was the fastest year for domestic injection molding machine exports. Some manufacturers exported more than 20% to 30% of the total output, but the total value of exports was less than the total value of imports. 10%, and most of China's exports are in developing countries. Of course, these developing countries also need injection molding machine products with a comparatively high price/performance ratio like China in their low-end injection molding industry. However, with the development of the injection molding machine industry in China or in the surrounding areas, China’s export advantages will soon be Will disappear. Therefore, China's press industry still needs to use technology to improve product quality.

People in the industry pointed out that at present, the domestic plastics machinery manufacturing industry is still very weak. Increasing investment in technological innovation and continuously improving technological advantages and competitiveness are the must-go paths for presses. However, at present, most of China's plastic press companies are small in size, and the products of various manufacturers are identical. They are all oriented toward the general market and are not targeted. The injection molding industry is actually relatively professional in many aspects. It also requires highly specific equipment, and is even completely dedicated. Therefore, the molding machine companies taking the path of specialized technological innovation will have stronger competitive advantages.
