According to the data provided by the China Plastics Machinery Industry Association, in 2010, the year-on-year increase in industrial output value, industrial sales value, new product output value and export delivery value of China's plastics machinery industry were all above 60%, far exceeding the national machinery industry. The average increase in %.

It is worth noting that, in the general case where the import and export trade of the machinery industry maintains a favorable balance, the import and export trade deficit of plastics machinery has not yet changed. In 2010, the trade deficit was nearly 900 million U.S. dollars. However, the average unit price ratio of imported and exported equipment has been reduced from 7:1 in 2009 to 5:1 in 2010. This shows that China has achieved preliminary results in advancing the restructuring of the plastic machinery industry and product transformation and upgrading.

Su Dongping, general secretary of the association, said that plastics machinery is the “working machine” for polymer composites, and it is a vibrant industry with a promising future. It has significant leverage for the development of the entire plastics industry and directly affects the national economy. The development of various industries. The plastic products produced by plastic machinery are high-tech products closely linked with strategic emerging industries. For example, the carbon fiber used in large aircraft fuselage and artificial heart bypass bridge stents are all manufactured by modern presses.

The proportion of domestic equipment increased According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics on 564 large-scale plastics machinery manufacturing enterprises, the total output value and sales value of China's plastics machinery industry exceeded 40 billion yuan in 2010, a record high; at the same time, China's plastics machinery industry Leading companies also ranked first in the world in terms of output and sales revenue. The annual output value of plastic products produced by plastic machinery is as high as 1.5 trillion yuan, setting a new record.

From more specific data, in 2010, the total output value of China's plastics machinery manufacturing industry reached 42.106 billion yuan, an increase of 63% over the same period of last year. The growth rate of the total output value of the national machinery industry during the same period was 34%; the sales value of the plastics machinery manufacturing industry was 4.0065 billion yuan. The growth rate was 60% year-on-year. During the same period, the sales growth rate of the national machinery industry was 34%.

The export value of the plastics machinery manufacturing industry was 5.957 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 63%. The growth rate of the export value of the national machinery industry during the same period was 34%. In addition, the output value of new products in the plastics machinery manufacturing industry was 5.896 billion yuan, an increase of 84% over the same period of last year. The growth rate of the output value of new products of the national machinery industry during the same period was 33%.

It is worth mentioning that in 2010, the domestic plastics machinery market capacity increased from 34.9 billion yuan in 2008 to 47.9 billion yuan, an increase of 37%, of which the share of domestic equipment increased to 72%. In 2008, domestic machine equipment accounted for only 49% of the capacity in the domestic market.

It is reported that in 2010, the plastics machinery industry seized the opportunity presented by the country’s macroeconomic policy effect. Under the circumstances that product orders could not be completed, it vigorously adjusted the product structure, resolutely eliminated backward products, opened up the horsepower, strictly controlled quality, and actively organized various forms of labor. Competition, to meet market demand, vigorously produce high-efficiency energy-saving plastic machinery products, so that the industry's product output and other economic indicators have created a record high.

What is still at the low end of the value chain should not be overlooked is that China's plastics machinery industry suffered a trade deficit of nearly 900 million U.S. dollars in 2010. According to the customs data, in 2010, China exported 44,420 plastic machine equipments with an export value of 1,134,314,600 U.S. dollars; and imported machine equipment, 15064 units, with an import value of 2007,696,800 U.S. dollars.

As for the cause of the deficit, Wang Jing, director of the International Cooperation Department of the association, believes that the asymmetric trade structure of imported high-end press equipment and exporting low-end equipment has resulted in the export volume of plastic machinery equipment in China being about 3 times of the import volume, but The export amount is only about 57% of the import amount, and the average export unit price is about 1/5 of the average unit price of imported equipment.

At present, China's imports of presses are mainly from Japan, Germany, and Taiwan. The three counties account for 80% of total imports. Exports are mainly targeted at developing countries such as Brazil, Iran, India, Turkey, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Injection molding machine is the main product of the plastic machine industry, accounting for about half of the import and export volume of all presses.

In recent years, the independent innovation capability of China's press industry has been enhanced, but the problem of having fewer brands with international competitiveness still exists. Most of the exported plastic products are OEM products, which are still at the low end of the value chain of the international industrial division of labor. The added value is not high, resulting in a large loss of profits.

The major problem existing in China's plastics machinery industry is that there is a large gap between middle-to-high-end products and foreign advanced level, mainly manifested in production efficiency, precision, miniaturization, large-scale equipment, and automatic control; the ability of scientific and technological innovation is not strong. There are few core technologies and key technologies, and there is not enough self-development ability.

In addition, the investment in technological innovation of enterprises is not high, and there is a shortage of high-level innovative talents; the extensive development mode has not yet been fundamentally changed; the structural contradictions have become more prominent; and the integration of high-tech and traditional manufacturing industries has not been adequate, and information technology has not been used. The degree is not high; the implementation of patents, standards and brand strategy, to create a national and even global brand is not enough.
