Globalization plastic machine, vertical injection molding machine industry growth significantly Asia's pledge

Date：2014-12-16 16:00:58

As early as in 1990, the

in the plastic founded in the second year, the global sales of injection molding machine for 33000 units.Soon in 2013, global sales reached 86500 units, injection molding by up to 250%.

this huge increase, to some extent reflects the spread of plastic materials.Might as well, compared with today's society at that time the use of PET bottles, or the amount of automotive plastics.

But from the point of some of the core indicators,

global plastics industry has a significant leap off the biggest reason is that the Asian manufacturing.First is our country with other major Asian producers to become the world's factory, today's emerging consumer class also continues to grow.

there is a core data: a year, sales of machinery for more than 25 years ago, the 53000 units, increment of about 90% (48000 injection molding machine) from the Asian emerging markets.

as the part of the plastic news 25 anniversary activities, we hope to explore what globalization means to plastic manufacturing.

our country to promote growth in

The simplest answer is

, as figure shows, globalization has brought the growth.A global perspective, with vertical plastic injection molding machine industry's current size increased by several times more than 25 years ago.In 2012, worldwide resin consumption for 2012 tons, in 1989, nearly 100 million tons.

this growth is far higher than the global population growth, over the past 25 years the world's population growth rate was 40%, from 5.2 billion to 7.2 billion.

but globalization brings growth is only part of the story.Through numerical analysis, we can see the obvious shift manufacturing center to Asia.

Among the

occupied the main proportion in our country.Injection molding machine in China annual consumption increased from 4000 in 1990 to 2013 in 42000, accounting for half of the global total.

other Asian countries, including Japan, India and southeast Asia, etc.) at the same time sales from year 11500 to 11500.

The injection molding machine

sales figures from Austria engel company, from the point of sales, the company is the world's largest producer of injection molding machine.The plastic news, "therefore focused on these Numbers, because of the injection molding machine is one of the largest niche machines in the market.

based in Indianapolis, said the President, the American society of plastic processing enterprises MikeWalter, for some of America's small and medium-sized plastic processing enterprises, the rise of Asia destructive.

as METPlasticsInc injection enterprises. The company President Walter said: "initially, globalization eroded our customer base. It makes the whole industry panic.

he said: "as in the United States alone, a representative for the small factory production enterprise, we are moving to the overseas customer base."

but increased the cost of production of our country with other Asian countries, at the same time, the surviving of the processing enterprises are forced to raise competitive skills and expand the investment in automation and technology, so some changes have taken place.

, for example, MET the company's small injection molding factory built in suburban Chicago, this factory since 2008, the average worker's sales increased by 20%, by the company in the past five years cutting staff and promote the sales growth.

he said: "the United States production has become attractive opportunity."

European and American markets in a steady

although the Asian market sweeping injection molding machine, engel company's statistics show that European and American markets for small growth over the past 25 years.In the European market performed slightly better, injection molding machine sales increased from 9500 in 1990 to 2013 in 11500, and the americas (including North America and South America) small, from 7500 to 8500.

for capable of global expansion of the company, the opportunity is there.Engel company says it occupied larger proportion in the Asian market.

, the company said its market share in Asia in 2004 is less than 5%, but in South Korea and China after the establishment of the company's Asian market share has been increased to 10% this year.Chief sales officer ChristophSteger said, 25 years ago is not the goal of enterprise has become a big customer.

in South Korea's samsung, for example, samsung's largest clients worldwide in recent years has become the engel.

he said: "a point of view, customer base more globalization is 25 years ago."Steger said, the United States and other mature markets innovative medium-sized plastic processing enterprises will still occupy the important position.

Steger said: "another Angle, in the European and American countries there are still many typical don't want to small and medium-sized enterprises to expand overseas. They are their own niche, not detect forces in the region."

Steger said, for Engel company, which means that they must pay attention to the two niche in the global market."We can't only focus on multinational enterprise, so we will be too dependent on them."

when compared to direct each region of the injection molding machine sales figures are misleading.Steger said, more general models sold in China, the price of Europe a lot of injection molding machine several times more expensive, function also more and more.

Even in America and Europe,

engel company are also expected to have some small globalization trend, columns, such as the rise of emerging markets such as Russia, Turkey and Brazil.In Europe, for example, a decade ago, the biggest local machines in the market is Germany, followed by Italy and France.

but last year, Italy and France dropped off, Turkey and Russia became the second and the third largest injection molding machine market in Europe.

Germany today is still in the European market first, and engel company expects, at least until 2020, Germany will continue to the largest injection molding machine of the market position in Europe, Russia and Turkey respectively the second and third place.

in the americas, are also expected to have similar changes: by 2020, the engel company in Brazil is expected to overtake America as the biggest machines in the market, but it is important to note that Brazil's poor development momentum since 2012.

Companies in

, of course, emerging countries has its pressure on global market.

injection molding machine manufacturers in China guangdong's secret precision machinery co., LTD. In 2011, the acquisition of the bankrupt American plastic machine HPM company's assets, also as one of its efforts to exploit the global market.

the secret CEO rick yan told us the plastic news last year, he thought the HPM company focusing on the domestic market, no positive global expansion, is eventually led to the 135 - year - old veteran enterprise bankruptcy of one of the error.

, don't want to repeat it, he said: "we hope to complete the globalization, to avoid the same problem."

In the future 25 years

to

one thing is clear, the process for various changes over the past 25 years, China's wto accession, the unification, the rise of multinational corporations with various economic crisis frequent), plastic industry has become one of the most important aspects of the growth in global development.

this is one of the challenges.

U.S. manufacturing productivity and innovation alliance survey published in October, according to the global competition is the root cause of the "new industrial revolution", including spawned anthropomorphic robotic, 3 d printing with more efficient supply chain.

, the report said: "analysts believe that the current technology of disruptive age for American manufacturing has opened a new chapter."But they also admit, said: "some people are worried about the new technology will affect employment".

At the brookings institution in

to 2014, according to a survey report of American manufacturing in the future will depend on its ability to adapt to new technology, but this study also mentioned the past 25 years to produce another worrying trends.In American manufacturing, in addition to computer and electronic products, 90% of the manufacturing enterprises from 1987 to 2011, the annual growth of only 0.6% (2000-2011 has been 0.4% negative growth).

the survey said, if you count the computer and electronic products, manufacturing in the United States from 1987 to 2011, an average growth of 2.6%.

for sales capital vertical injection molding machine equipment such as injection molding machine, engel company Steger said he believes the biggest impact the global competition, is in making enterprise more inclined to improve performance.

Steger said: "with higher performance, better services is that they value most. The negotiation is becoming more and more difficult."
