The 3D plastic printer will be the fastest growing plastic processing equipment
According to the latest report, the global market for plastic processing machinery is expected to grow by 6.9 percent annually and the global market will reach $37.1 billion in 2017.
A better market for sales is coming, according to a new study, from fixed investment spending and the acceleration of plastic production. Packaging will be the biggest market for plastic processing machinery and is expected to exceed a third of total sales by 2017. The next biggest end market will be consumer products and construction.
Due to the wide range of functions of injection molding equipment, it will continue to be the most important position in processing machinery and will account for two-fifths of the machinery sales market by 2017. The 3D plastic printer will be the fastest growing plastic processing device, extending from a relatively small current market situation to other areas of processing production. With the rapid growth of the world's construction market, the sales of extruded machinery will have the fastest growth period. "The Cleveland research group said.
Our country is by far the world's largest market for mechanical equipment, accounting for 29% of the global market in 2012 and will continue to lead global market demand. India will be the world's fastest-growing country, accounting for 12 per cent of global market share in 2013. According to global regional markets, the U.S. central and southern markets are growing fastest, followed by Africa and the Middle East. By 2017, due to the global transport industry's impact, the Asian and Pacific machinery makers will be able to get a quick delivery advantage.
According to the relevant report data, in the first three quarters of 2013, the trade deficit of Chinese blowing machines and exports fell sharply year on year. The overseas injection molding machine market is developing strong, and the future of injection molding machine and the modification of plastic overseas investment needs to be more prudent.
Extruder is one of the machines imported after injection molding machine. However, the blow molding machine is one of the most important category of China plastic machine market.
In recent years, as the demand for the downstream plastic products has increased, the overall demand of China's plastic machinery domestic market has grown steadily. According to the 12th five-year development plan of the plastic machine industry, the average annual growth of the plastic machine industry will increase by more than 12 percent each year, and the total industrial output and sales of the industry will reach more than 50 billion yuan. Because the current domestic market activity is lower than the international market, the situation would lead to more domestic enterprises go global, can be expected, the future for a period of time, exports will appear heat molding machine industry, domestic this competition will be conducted to the international market, at the appointed time, the international market will usher in fierce competition and rapid growth trend.
The development of Chinese plasticizer is attracting special attention from all over the world. First, the annual output of plastic machinery in China ranks first in the world, and it has a significant influence in the world market of plastic machinery. Second, because of the increasing export volume of Chinese plastic molding machines and rising export value, new changes have taken place in the global model market. The adjustment of industrial structure is speeding up, the product class is improving continuously, and it is becoming more and more competitive in the international market.
According to the latest data from the American plastics industry association, the plastic machinery market in the fourth quarter of 2013 was in good shape and its supply performance was perfect.
According to incomplete statistics, in the fourth quarter of 2013, the total value of plastic machinery orders totaled about $335 million, the most in the fourth quarter of last year. According to SPI, U.S. plastic machinery orders in the fourth quarter were up 3 percentage points from the third quarter of 2013, slightly lower than in the same period in 2012. It is reported that 2012 is the golden age of north American plastics machinery market. In that year, the regional injection molding machines, thin film blowing machines, extruders, molding machines and other auxiliary equipment orders all achieved full growth.
In total, U.S. plastic machinery orders rose 8 percent in 2013 from last year, according to SPI industry analysts. In the fourth quarter, the number of orders for injection molding machines fell nearly 5 percent from the same period in 2012. At the same time, single screw extruder orders also reduced by 2%, however, the quarter of the twin screw extruder order soared, a 72% increase over the same period of last year. In addition, in the fourth quarter of the blow molding machine and hot molding machine market also appeared a mixed situation. In comparison with the same period last year, the volume of plastic blow molding machines reached a new high, a 91% increase from the previous year. Orders for hot molding machines were down 34% from a year earlier.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the value of U.S. auxiliary machinery was $101 million, up 1% from the same period in 2012.
