Injection
molding machine is the most crucial plastic processing machinery, accounting
for 60%-85% in developed countries, and it finds application mainly in fields
like automobile, household appliances, food & beverage packaging, plastic
building materials, and electronic communications.
China
injection molding machine industry has grown bigger and stronger along with
rapid development of downstream sectors, becoming the world's largest producer
and consumer of injection molding machine. In 2010,China's injection molding machine
sales exceeded CNY20 billion for the first time and approximated CNY25.5
billion in 2013, the best since financial crisis, and it is expected to reach CNY30 billion or so in 2016.
At present, nearly 30% of China-made injection molding machines are exported. Customs data show that,Chinaexported 25,082 injection molding machines in 2014, a year-on-year rise of 9.2%, generating export value of USD1.01 billion, up 9.1% from a year earlier.
In recent years, driven by demands from energy conservation and environmental protection, all-electric injection molding machine, electro-hydraulic injection molding machine, and two-platen injection molding machine have gradually become R&D and promotion priorities. It is noteworthy that more and more injection molding machines are two-plate ones. By early 2014, Chen Hsong Holdings, Haitian International Holdings, and Guangzhou Borch Machinery all had independently developed two-platen ultra-large injection molding machines with clamping force of 6,500 tons and above.
