Statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China in 2007 show that in 2007, the total volume of plastics machinery exports was 100,633 units (excluding parts and accessories), an increase of 51% over the previous year, and the import volume was 25,765 units (excluding accessories), a decrease of 12%. . In terms of quotas, plastics machinery exported 1.45 billion U.S. dollars in 2007, an increase of 40% over the previous year, and imports of 2.56 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 7.2% over the previous year.
From these data, it can be seen that although the number of plastic machinery exports in China is nearly four times that of imports, the value of export products is only half that of imported products (56.7%). This shows that China's export of plastic machinery "gold content" is lower. At the same time, in 2007, China’s import volume of plastic machinery decreased by 12% over the previous year, while its value increased by 7.2%, further demonstrating that China’s current imports of plastic machinery are relatively high value, that is, most of them are high-end products that cannot be produced domestically. Or equipment performance can not meet the requirements of the species.
Therefore, experts pointed out that although the level of manufacturing and supporting of China's plastic machinery continues to increase after constant adjustment and development, we still have a big gap compared with the advanced level in foreign countries, especially high-end products still cannot meet the needs. The structure needs to be improved.
In 2007, China's total export volume of injection molding machines was 17,577 units, accounting for 47% of the total export volume of plastic machinery, an increase of 20% over the previous year; the import volume of injection molding machines was 13,825, accounting for 74% of the total import volume of plastic machinery. Decrease by 10% in the previous year. In 2007, the export value of injection molding machines was 480 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 58% of the total export volume of plastic machinery, and the export value increased by 37%; the import volume of injection molding machines was 930 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 74% of the total imports of plastic machinery, and the import amount Decrease by 5%.
Industry experts believe that this is a welcome change, indicating that China's injection molding machines are advancing towards the international market while satisfying the domestic market, but we must also see the gap, especially in large and high-precision injection molding machines. With nearly one billion U.S. dollars imported, the press industry needs more efforts to develop high-end products.
In 2007, the total export volume of China’s extruders was 13,311 units, accounting for 35% of the total export volume of plastic machinery; the import volume of extruders was 1,574 units, accounting for 8% of the total imports of plastic machinery. In 2007, the export value of the extruder was 300 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 33% of the total export volume of plastic machinery; the import value of the extruder was 270 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 39% of the total import volume of plastic machinery. In 2007, the export volume of extruders increased by 62% over the previous year and the export value increased by 76%. In 2007, the import volume of extruders decreased by 21% compared with the previous year, and the import amount decreased by 10%.
Similar to the injection molding machine, this reduction in export growth imports shows that China's extruder industry has made great progress and is gradually replacing imported products while moving toward the international market.
In 2007, the total number of calenders exported was 2,430 units, accounting for 6% of the total export volume of plastic machinery; the import volume of calenders was 212 units, accounting for 1% of the total imports of plastic machinery. In 2007, the export value of calenders was 6.73 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 1% of the total export volume of plastic machinery; in 2007, the import volume of calenders was 41.28 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 2% of the total import volume of plastic machinery, and the export volume of calenders in 2007. Compared with the previous year, it increased by more than 4 times, and the export amount increased by 25%, indicating that the number of export products increased while the value was not high; in 2007, the import volume of calenders decreased by 36% compared with 2006, and the import amount increased by 29%. The value of imported products instead Higher.
Industry experts pointed out in this regard that China's export calenders have a very low added value compared with foreign countries. Domestic businessmen need to further improve the technological content and level of calenders, and only in this way can they gradually replace imports.
