Synchronous with economic growth, the development of machinery industry has entered the stage of medium-speed growth. Although machinery industry production and sales are still expected to achieve double-digit growth last year, but the growth rate of major economic indicators have slowed down significantly. Wang Ruixiang, president of China Machinery Industry Federation, pointed out at the general meeting held recently that the growth rate of the machinery industry has basically bottomed out. It is expected that the annual production and sales growth will be around 12%, profit will increase around 5% and export will increase around 10%.
From the market transaction of China's machinery industry in the second half of February 2013, it can be seen that there is a procurement peak season after the festival. Among them, food machinery buyers favor a high degree, with 27% of the market transaction share ranked first in hC360.com search list. Internal combustion engines and accessories market boom, with 18% of the market transaction share ranked second. Machine tools, instruments, and heavy mining machinery share the same market share, with 17%, 15% and 12% market share respectively, ranked in the most popular search list of HCCON.com. Wind power machinery came in last with 11% of the market turnover.
From the perspective of the operation characteristics of the industry, the overall development of the machinery industry in 2012 showed a trend of "light", "heavy" and "heavy" slow, that is, the situation of the "light" and "small" sub-industries which are more closely related to people's livelihood and consumption is better than that of the "heavy" and "large" sub-industries which are more closely related to infrastructure and energy.
Looking forward to 2013, domestic and foreign demand is expected to pick up modestly but not by much. The current situation that the industry is confronted with internal and external contradictions cannot be completely changed in the short term. CAI Weici, executive vice president of China International Computer Association, thinks that medium speed growth is not necessarily bad, the key is to be committed to a more high-quality medium speed growth. He predicted that in 2013, the output and sales of the machinery industry, profits and exports will grow by 12%, 8% and 8% respectively.
The year 2012 was "the most severe challenge since the financial crisis" and "the worst economic performance in recent years" for China's GENERAL machinery parts industry. According to data released by China General Machinery Parts Industry Association, the total industrial output value of the general machinery parts industry in 2012 was 323.2 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of only 6.4%, lower than 12.1% in 2008 and hitting a new low in recent years. The fastener and powder metallurgy sectors even showed negative growth of -1.5% to -2%.
The total output value of general machinery parts industry has maintained a double-digit growth rate since 2006. Its year-on-year growth rate in 2007 was 27.6%, the highest in recent years, while the growth rates between 2009 and 2011 were 14.8%, 21% and 21.8% respectively. In 2008, when the financial crisis hit, it was at a recent low of 12.1%, but the rate remained in double digits.
The growth rate of total output value of general mechanical parts industry last year was 6.4%, even lower than 12.1% in 2008, which was the first single-digit growth rate in recent years. "As can be seen from the economic growth rate of the industry in recent years, the economic performance in 2012 was the worst year".
In the complex and gloomy development situation at home and abroad, on the one hand, the capital input of enterprise development has increased greatly; On the one hand, corporate profits have fallen sharply; In addition, fasteners suffer from large area of international trade protection, resulting in the export scope of products also greatly reduced; "Order shortage", "transformation and upgrading", "product optimization", "green manufacturing", "lack of capital", "loss of labor force" and a series of other difficult problems converge at the time and space of 2012.
China General Machinery Parts Industry Association believes that the development of the industry has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a period of high quality and stable growth. And "from the current domestic and foreign economic development forecast and analysis trend of 2013, the industry development in 2013 should be better than that in 2012".
As a result of food, medicine and other fields of huge packaging demand, packaging machinery has maintained an amazing speed of development. At the same time, intelligent, automatic, controllable, compatibility of the technical requirements of the domestic packaging machinery production industry has put forward higher requirements.
The census of China machinery industry federation, the packaging machinery industry remain around 16% growth a year, this is because the packaging industry as the supporting industry of national economy in many areas, is promote consumption, reveal the value of the industry, its technology and supporting services can bring profound influence to other industry.
China's packaging machinery products are facing fierce international competition due to the lack of varieties, low technical level, poor product reliability and other reasons. In particular, in the past five years, China has accelerated the development of deep processing of agricultural products, built an economical society, developed a circular economy and intensified technological innovation, resulting in a new wave of technology introduction. For example, in recent years, China's total investment in the deep processing of agricultural products reached more than 32 billion yuan, processing and packaging equipment more than 80% by imports.
Packaging machinery manufacturers pay more and more attention to the development of fast, low cost packaging equipment, equipment to small, flexible, versatile, efficient direction. This trend also includes saving time and reducing costs, so the packaging industry is the pursuit of combination, simplicity, mobile packaging equipment. Through imitation, introduction of technology and capital, and global procurement, China's packaging machinery manufacturing level and industrial design level has been rapidly developed. Today, Chinese packaging machinery manufacturers can easily obtain some key components through global procurement, thus rapidly improving the technical level and reliability of equipment. But the overall level is still far from that of the United States, Germany and other developed countries.
