Global demand for plastic processing machinery is expected to grow 6.9% annually to reach USD 37.1 billion in 2017. This increase is attributed to better climate sales, resulting in accelerated fixed asset investment expenditures and economic growth in the production of plastic products.
At present, the global production of injection molding machines accounts for 50% of the overall plastic molding equipment, while injection molded products account for 30% of the global total of plastic products. Therefore, injection molding machines have become the main energy-consuming equipment of plastic processing plants. The global production of injection molding machines was 199,000 units in 2009, and increased to 293,000 units in 2014.
China continues to lead Germany in the production of plastic machinery, accounting for 32.5% of the global GDP of 33.9 billion euros (down from 33.4% in the previous year), while Germany accounted for 20.7% (up from 20.5% in the previous year) ). The output value of these two major countries is much higher than the latter countries: Italy, the United States and Japan.
Sales prospects for plastic processing equipment in China, India and Russia are promising. Turkey, the Czech Republic, Iran and other developing countries and regions benefit from steady economic growth, continued industrialization, and increased personal income, and the demand for plastic processing equipment will increase.
(1) African plastic machine market
The African plastics industry started late, and the incremental demand for plastic machinery is relatively greater than in other developed markets. In fact, Africa has gradually become a new potential market for plastic machinery. Many well-known plastic machine manufacturers, including Dingkun, Fengming, Juyan, Ruimeng, and Taiwan ’s Jierai, are using the latest research and development of bag blowing machines and plastic bags Various models such as printing presses and plastic injection molds have entered the emerging potential markets of Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia through France's influence on French-speaking countries such as North Africa and West Africa. At present, African countries have a large demand for plastic bag blowing machine products. In South Africa, the growing middle class is driving the development of the plastic packaging market in this region. In 2009, the total sales of the plastic packaging market reached 1.01 billion US dollars, and it is expected to increase to 1.41 billion US dollars by 2016. Because of foreign investment in automobile plants, South Africa's hollow automobile fuel tank forming units have a broad market.
(2) South American press market
The members of the South American market mainly include Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The region has a relatively humid climate and developed agriculture. It is one of the pillar industries of various countries. Therefore, South America has a high demand for agricultural films. Due to the low level of local plastic machine technology in South America, the plastic machinery parts, peripheral equipment and mold markets also show considerable market potential. Taking Brazil as an example, according to the statistics of the Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretariat (SECEX), Brazil ’s imports of plastic machinery in 1997 reached US $ 419.9 million, of which 24% came from Italy, followed by Germany and the United States. At present, the import sources of Brazil's plastic machinery are mainly from Italy, Germany, Switzerland in Europe, Japan, Taiwan, China and South Korea in Asia. In particular, affected by the financial crisis, equipment in China and Taiwan has been favored in the past two years because of its higher cost performance compared to European and American products.
(3) Indonesian plastic machine market
Indonesia is located in the tropics, rich in rubber, plastic processing industry is one of the country's pillar industries. However, due to its weak industrial foundation and lack of technical personnel, a large number of rubber and plastic processing machinery needs to be imported. The plastic machinery and mold equipment produced in China are reliable in quality, stable in performance, easy to operate, and reasonable in price. They are deeply loved and welcomed by Indonesian users and have become one of the top ten suppliers in Indonesia. Among them, the injection molding machine exported by China accounts for the second place in the Indonesian market, and the extruder accounts for the third place in the Indonesian market. The market share of blow molding machines is also very high. The total market share of China's plastic machinery in Indonesia has reached about 8% .
(4) European and American press market
At present, European and American plastic machinery companies still maintain the technological leading edge in the field of plastic machinery, but due to the higher labor costs in this region, the industry is developing more toward the direction of brand output and technology output. European and American blow molding machine manufacturers mainly focus on high-tech and high-value-added models such as precision blow molding machines and large blow molding machines.
The total volume of the European plastics market reached 53 million tons in 2014. In the next 8 years, Ceresana expects that the total output value of the European plastics market will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 2.9%. By 2022, its output value will reach 104 billion euros (excluding synthetic fibers, coatings and adhesives). Germany occupies 24% of the European plastics market share and is the largest producer in Europe. Belgium ranked second, followed by France, Russia, the Netherlands and Spain. The most important areas for plastic applications in 2014 were flexible packaging, rigid packaging and construction. These areas cover 70% of the European plastic market demand.
Among them, German W & H is the company with the highest market share of blow molding machines in the world, with more than 5,000 customers in more than 130 countries around the world; Reifenhauser ’s 2005 sales were 315 million euros, of which Film production equipment sales reached 80 million euros; Italian Marchi has a high market share in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, South Korea, etc .; Canada Bratton is mainly concentrated in Canada, the United States, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and New Zealand area.
The US plastic machinery market has ushered in a new spring after a decade of decline. Affected by demand, the automotive industry needs to continue to reform and innovate, and molding sales have also increased significantly. According to data from the American Plastics Industry Association (SPI), after experiencing the low tide of 2009, the market rebound in 2014 continued from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and the level of the plastic machinery market increased by 15% compared with 2013. In the third quarter of 2014, sales of major plastic processing equipment (including injection molding machines, extruders, and blow molding machines) reached $ 301.4 million, 6% higher than the second quarter. Although the third-quarter data fell by 2% year-on-year, the total sales of major plastic processing equipment increased by 6%. CES also counts data on the auxiliary equipment industry (manipulators, temperature control devices, material handling equipment, etc.).
(5) Austria: excellence
According to the latest data from the Commercial Section of the Austrian Consulate General in Guangzhou, the country's plastic machinery industry will write a new page in history in 2014. In 2013, Austria exported about 100 million euros worth of presses and equipment; in the first three quarters of 2014 alone, Austria had exceeded this number. Among them, China's demand for Austrian presses has increased by 40% compared with 2013. Products exported to other regions also grew by nearly 10%.
The Commercial Section of the Austrian Consulate General in Guangzhou is optimistic about the prospects, especially in the plastic recycling industry. At present, about 80% of the world's plastic recycling equipment is produced in Austria. The Asian region, especially China, is increasingly focusing on the importance of protecting the ecology. Actively introducing new technologies to improve industrial pollution is an important factor driving the Austrian plastic machinery industry. |
