Special analysis: the trend of import and export of China's presses

China Customs recently announced the import and export of goods in June, from the selected 9 types of presses? Statistics show that since the beginning of this year, the import and export of plastics processing equipment in China has increased by as much as 50%, indicating that the foreign trade market is active, but the trade deficit has been difficult to change for a long time, and import prices are generally higher than exports. Therefore, the development of high-level presses and the increase in the value-added of presses will remain an important issue in the next phase.

Overview In the first half of this year, China's plastics processing equipment exported a total of more than 20,000 units, amounting to 490 million US dollars, an increase of 56.4% and 48.7%, respectively, compared to the same period of last year. In the same period, imports of about 7,600 units amounted to US$940 million, an increase of 117% and 43.3% respectively year-on-year. Imports are almost double the value of exports, and the trade deficit is 450 million U.S. dollars.

June was the peak of export in the first half of the year, although the monthly export volume (4085 units) was slightly lower than February, but the amount was as high as $96.69 million. May? At the peak of imports, 2,188 units were imported that month, amounting to 200 million U.S. dollars. The biggest trade deficit in May? 110 million U.S. dollars.

Imports and Exports The export of China's presses is relatively decentralized, such as Brazil, Iran, Indonesia, Turkey, India, Thailand and Malaysia. In the first half of the year, Brazil exported the most to more than 40 million U.S. dollars and more than 1,200 Taiwan, followed by Iran, Indonesia, and Turkey.

Relatively concentrated source of imports, mainly? Japan, Germany, Taiwan, Italy, South Korea, France, Switzerland, United States, Canada and Austria. From the first half of this year, Japan, Germany, and Taiwan are in turn? The top three sources of imports accounted for 70% of total imports.



Injection molding machine imports and exports doubled the injection molding machine is still the main force, accounting for half of the import and export of molding machines. In the first half of the year, China exported 8289 sets of injection molding machines, which amounted to 260 million U.S. dollars. In the same period, it imported 4 690 sets of 440 million U.S. dollars. Exports increased by 80% year-on-year, and imports increased by 1.2 times. The trade deficit is 170 million U.S. dollars. June? In the first half of the year, the export of injection molding machines peaked, with the highest import volume in March.

The first three export destinations for injection molding machines export, in turn? Brazil (1090 units, $35.09 million), Turkey (537 units, $23.29 million), and Iran (650 units, $20.43 million). Japan is China's largest importer of injection molding machines. In the first half of the year, it imported more than 250 million U.S. dollars and more than 2,800 kilograms from Japan, an increase of 85.4% and 156.7% year-on-year respectively. Followed by Taiwan, Germany, South Korea, Canada and Switzerland. Among them, Japan and Taiwan have experienced strong growth. Nearly 1 and 2 times. In Germany, growth was weak and imports only increased by 7.2%. In the top 10 import countries and regions, only a 25% drop from Austrian imports, and the others are on an upward trend.

After the extruders and blow molding machines followed the injection molding machines, the "importers" (including pelletizers and other extruders) and "blow-molding machines" had larger import and export volumes.

In the first half of the year, a total of 1,232 granulators were exported, amounting to 17 million US dollars, an increase from the same period last year? -0.6% and 53.7%; 60 imports during the same period, amounting to US$82 million, an increase from the same period last year? -9.1% and 9.3%. "Other extruders" accumulatively exported 2025 units (7.5%), amounting to more than 80 million US dollars (+18.3%); imported 395 units (-0.3%) for the same period, amounting to 116 million US dollars (1.2%), which was basically the same as last year. .

The total number of blow molding machines exported exceeded 4,300, which was nearly 60 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 61% and 19.2% year-on-year respectively. In the same period, it imported 137 units, amounting to 160 million U.S. dollars, up 2.2% and 60.3% year-on-year respectively.
