Our sales growth driven presses

2015-12-25

  Early in 1990, global sales of injection molding machines for 33,000 units. Twinkling of an eye to 2013, the global injection molding machine sales reached 86,500 units, an increase of up to 250%.

 

  This huge increase, to some extent reflects the popularization of plastic material. Some may wish to compare, then the amount of plastic used in an amount in today's society and PET bottles, or car.

 

  China presses presses twenty-five years for half of total global

 

  But some of the key metrics, global plastics industry has made huge leaps off the biggest reason is that Asian manufacturing. Initially in China and other Asian countries as the world's main production plant, and now the emerging consumer class is also growing region.

 

  A key data: presses now sold worldwide every year than 25 years ago, an increase of 53,000 units, about 90% increments (ie 48,000 injection molding machines) from the Asian emerging markets.

 

  China to drive growth

 

  The simplest answer is that, as the figures show that globalization has brought growth. Globally, the plastics industry is bigger than 25 years ago now increased several times. But globalization is only part of the story of growth. By numerical analysis, we can see a significant shift towards manufacturing center in Asia. Of which China accounted for a major share. China's annual consumption of injection molding machines from 1990 to 4000 to $ 42,000 in 2013 units, accounting for half of the global total. Other Asian countries (including Japan, India and Southeast Asia, etc.) over the same period sales increased to 21,500 units per year from 11,500 units. The injection molding machine sales figures from Austria Engel company, which from the turnover point of view, is the world's largest manufacturer of injection molding machines. Injection molding machine presses the largest market segments, headquartered in Indianapolis, president of the American Association of plastics processing companies MikeWalter said, for the United States, small and medium sized plastic processing enterprises, the rise of Asia's devastating .

 

  European markets remain stable

 

  Although the injection molding machine market in Asia like gangbusters, but Engel's statistics show that European and American markets for the past 25 years, maintained a slight increase.

 

  For capacity expansion of companies worldwide, the opportunity is there. Engel said it occupy a larger share of the Asian market. The company said that during 2004 its share of less than 5% in the Asian market, but after the construction of South Korea and China, the company's market share in Asia this year has increased to 10%. ChristophSteger chief sales officer, said 25 years ago not the goal of the enterprise has become a big customer. Of course, companies in emerging countries in the global market also has its own pressure.

 

  Chinese injection molding machine manufacturer in Guangdong Yizumi Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. acquired the bankrupt in 2011 the United States also HPM molding machine company's assets as part of its initiative to develop one of the global market. CEO Zhenrong Hui Secret Iraq, said he believes the company focused on the local market HPM, no positive global expansion, is one of the errors led to this 135-year-old veteran companies eventually bankruptcy. Yizumi do not want to repeat the same mistakes, he said: We want to globalize, to avoid the same problem.

 

  The next 25 years

 

  One thing is clear, has undergone various changes over the last 25 years, (China's WTO accession, the reunification of Germany, the rise of multinational corporations and a variety of economic crisis-prone), the global development of the plastics industry has become an important part of the growth.

 

  This is also one of the challenges

 

  US manufacturing productivity and innovation alliances in the survey released in October, said the pressure of global competition is to promote the "new industrial revolution" of fundamental reasons, including the birth of the anthropomorphic robot, 3D printing and more efficient supply chain.
