China's plastics machinery manufacturing industries from the 1950s to produce the first product, especially after nearly half a century since the reform and opening up the rapid development, has now completed the full range, the products are mainly technical and economic indexes close to or reached internationally advanced levels And supporting the international, specialized production gradually, complete with large-scale industrial system. Basic products to meet domestic market demand, export capacity in the fast-improving.


China's current situation


At present, China in the plastics machinery and related products manufacturing business units of about 600, which can provide plastic molding equipment and important about a 250.


China's plastics machinery industry already has a considerable scale, the current production capacity of the main press has more than 100,000 sets of them out of more than 8,000 sets of equipment, 30,000 sets of injection molding machine, hollow forming more than 3,000 sets of equipment, plastic machinery of the annual output value reached 8000000000 -100 million.

According to the plastic products market analysis, the combined production capacity of China's original presses products and give full play, from 2001 to 2010, China's plastics machinery products in the domestic market capacity of the average growth rate of about 6 percent. Is expected in 2000, 2005 and 2010 were 80 billion yuan, 11 billion yuan and 14.5 billion yuan. With China's improving product quality and varieties of the increase, presses products in the domestic market will also share with the «increase is expected for 70%, 75% and 80% of the total industrial output value products presses were 56 billion, 8.25 billion yuan and 11.6 billion yuan. With the increase in exports of Chinese products, is expected to 2005 and 2010, total industrial output value of China presses products reached 9.6 billion yuan and 140 billion in 2010 is 2.33 times that of 2000, the average annual growth rate of about 9% , 2001 to 2005 is 10%, 2006 to 2010 to 8 percent.


From the number of plastic machinery products is expected in 2000, 2005 and 2010 were 5.5 million units, 7.5 million and 10 million units, of which about 35% of injection molding machines, extrusion unit accounted for 25 percent, accounting for about hollow-molding machine 5 percent, presses for the other 35 percent.


Presses exports


In addition to general plastic equipment common to meet domestic demand, exports of equipment also increased year by year. Over the past three years is China's plastics machinery exports in the history of the fastest-growing period. For a long time, exports have been about 50 million U.S. dollars, in 1998 the first time, more than 100 million U.S. dollars in 2001, increasing to 238 million U.S. dollars, up 31.09 percent growth in 2000.


Related to expert analysis, the future, China's exports of machinery products plastic injection molding machine will be based. From the analysis of export volume, estimated the proportion of various models were: injection molding machines accounted for 60.4 percent, 6.8 percent of the extruder, hollow molding machines accounted for 11.7 percent, accounting for 21.1 percent of other presses. Foreign exchange earnings from exports of presses, injection molding machines accounted for 74.1 percent, 8.1 percent of the extruder, hollow molding machines accounted for 8% and 9.8% of the other presses.


2002 plastics machinery industry's total exports even higher in 2001. 2002 has maintained a strong momentum in export enterprises in Ningbo, Zhejiang and Shanghai Co., Ltd. Haitian Plastics Machinery Co., Ltd., respectively over the previous year grew by 3.6% and 3.39%.


Die exports


In addition, China's exports in the mold of the performance have increased the momentum. In 2002, China exported 19,500 tons die, accounting for 252 million U.S. dollars. One plastic or rubber mold to 467,800 units, about 172 million U.S. dollars, the total exports of 68.3 percent die.


Exports of plastic mold is the main supply to Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Fujian. They were 57 per cent, 13.9 per cent, 11 per cent and 5.2 per cent. The main export markets are Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, the United States and Singapore, followed by Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, India, Indonesia and Mexico, and other places.


Chinese origin although the plastic mold all over the country, but mainly concentrated in the southeastern coastal provinces and cities, particularly in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta area is most concentrated. By provinces and municipalities, Guangdong and Zhejiang most developed. The two provinces by the plastic mold production accounts for about two-thirds of the national total. Dongguan, Shenzhen, Shunde in Guangdong province plastic mold most developed areas, and Ningbo, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province is the most developed of production. Plastic injection mold plastic mold is the leading products, mainly the automotive, motorcycle and appliance industries.
