Overview of Plastic Machinery Industry
Plastic Processing Machinery Industry
(1) Taiwan is the fifth largest producer of plastic machinery in the world
The market value of Taiwan plastic machinery in 2005 was about 24.71 billion yuan, an increase of 5.51% compared with 23.42 billion yuan in 2004. Observed from the production side, the output value in 2005 was about 43.34 billion yuan, an increase of 5.5 billion yuan over 2004, but the growth rate was 10.28% lower than that in 2004.
(2) Taiwan is one of the few countries in the world that produces all-electric plastic machinery
From the 2002-2005 plastic machinery exhibitions worldwide, three major categories of traditional hydraulic, all-electric, and electric-electric composites have appeared one after another. However, there is no obvious distinction between the customs product classification of plastic machines, but in essence, There are obvious price differences. To this end, for the information of each exhibited product, through the complete information collection and analysis, the changes in the proportion of these three types of products can be obtained. According to the information of the models exhibited at the three major exhibitions in the world, European and American manufacturers tend to develop oil and electricity and all-electric models, Japanese manufacturers fully promote all-electric models, and Taiwan, South Korea, and China strive to catch up with electric and all-electric technologies. After the servo control technology takes root in Asia, the type of oil and gas will grow significantly. It is estimated that the situation of "three points in the world" of oil pressure, all electricity and oil power may be formed in 3 to 5 years.
(3) Taiwan has strengthened research and development of high value-added models in recent years
In the past few years, Taiwan has not only not been affected by the boom in the research and development of injection molding related technologies but has made considerable progress. Due to the light, thin, short, and high precision of the molded products and the multiple demands for green environmental protection and high-speed molding, the technology has also diversified and developed in parallel.
(4) Taiwan has a complete upstream, midstream and downstream industry key
The completeness, flexibility, and efficiency of the collaborative network, combined with the spirit of focusing on the industry and cultivating technology, are the foundations of Taiwan's machinery industry SMEs based on Taiwan and looking at the world. Due to the deepening of the professional network of third-party vendors, a vendor often only does one processing level, so it can be technically specialized. This dense industrial network can also bring cost advantages.
(5) Geographical environment and industrial conditions can play an intermediary role in entering the Asian market
In terms of geographic location, Taiwan is located at the center of shipping and shipping in Asia. It has the geographical advantages of intermediary status between advanced countries such as the United States and Japan and Southeast Asia and China. It has a wide network of contacts in Japan, the United States, and China. It is easy to grasp business opportunities and contact the wide area. The technology is centered, easy to connect and integrate, and through the principle of complementarity and the principle of leverage, increase the added value.
Plastic machinery market status and scale analysis

(2) Japan is a leading country in production and technology
In 2005, the output value of Japanese plastic machinery is estimated to reach 215 billion yen. From a model perspective, injection molding machines accounted for 80% of the total, reaching 199.7 billion yen, and extrusion machines accounted for 9%, reaching 21.2 billion yen. 5%, reaching 12.8 billion yen, and hollow molding machines accounted for 6%, reaching 14.4 billion yen. Although the number of production units decreased by 1,386 units, the production value increased by 14.26 billion yen. It is mainly related to the ratio of full electrification of Japanese plastic machinery up to 92%.
(3) The market demand in China continues to rise
From 2000 to 2004, the plastic machinery market showed a rapid growth trend. The compound annual growth rate from 2000 to 2004 was about 19.9%. Even in 2001, when the global recession and many industries were affected, the plastic machinery industry still has a 14.2 % annual growth rate. However, it is worth noting that import dependence continues to climb, from 74% in 2000 to 84% in 2004.
(4) All-electric plastic injection machine has become the mainstream of technology
Since its development, the all-electric injection molding machine has always been a very important benchmark for the injection molding machine industry. Because of its environmental protection, energy-saving, high precision, and high performance, it is in line with the needs and development of the precision injection molding industry. In the past two or three years, the development of all-electric injection machines is mainly due to the improvement of performance specifications. The high injection speed, high injection pressure, large-scale and precision servo control technology, and the development of AI control rules are constantly revealed by new product announcements.
Plastic machinery industry competition analysis
(1) Taiwan's technology development orientation
1. Taiwan's domestic 3C industry continues to grow. The government promotes a two-megabit double-star national plan. With the support of machine tool related technology and manpower, it has a new and different design for the entry of high-end all-electric, oil-electric compound injection machines. Meet user requirements for accuracy and re-productivity. Although the 3C industry has gradually moved out, the demand for key parts still depends on Taiwan's supply. Therefore, the demand for the domestic 3C industry will continue to grow.
2. At present, domestic injection machine manufacturers have developed all-electric injection machines, and the product level is not a big problem. As long as domestic manufacturers are willing to try it out, manufacturers are willing to cooperate in modifying the design to meet user needs. The opportunity to enter the market in the future will determine whether domestic products can be adopted by the application industry. For example, light guide plates and optical lenses are currently used by manufacturers for trial. The focus of the trial is the cooperation between the mold and the injection machine. If there are higher stability And reproducibility will enhance domestic procurement opportunities.
3. If the injection molding equipment manufacturers can develop cost-effective and clean injection molding machines through the manufacturing experience of users (electronics, optoelectronics, medical, information, etc.), and can provide their user experience to the equipment manufacturers to improve their The design and market of clean forming equipment should be able to expand due to a large amount of domestic use.
(2) Technical capability analysis
Plastic and rubber machinery ranks fifth in the world in terms of export, second only to Germany, Japan, the United States, and Italy. Although it has the opportunity to surpass Italy and advance to the fourth place, there are policy-oriented auxiliary companies in China to expand export. Subsidies for overseas exhibition fees, financial policy assistance, and low prices have also strengthened its position in the export market year by year.
Japan has always been the object of learning and challenge for Taiwan's plastic machinery industry. In the past 5 years, from only a small number of all-electric servo plastic injection molding machines to 2004, 85% have been all-electric injection molding machines; In the field of servo injection machines, Japan is unique, leaving advanced European and American manufacturers far behind; and the development of Taiwanese companies in this area is sporadic, and it has not yet been able to create the industry's "imposition". "However, this also means that Taiwanese companies still have a lot of room for development.
In recent years, injection molding technology has made quite rapid and significant progress in environmental protection and energy-saving electrification, rapid high-capacity production, precision micro-forming, product compound diversification, and product light-weighting. Other cores supporting various types of molding equipment Technologies such as robust (intelligent) control technology, oil pressure technology, screw design technology, performance testing, etc. have also developed relatively.
Taiwan’s all-electric technology is not easy to break through foreign patents, and the main components need to be imported from abroad, so it is not easy to reduce manufacturing costs. Therefore, although the industry is intentional, there are not many initial investment manufacturers, but in the past two years, European injection molding equipment factories have also invested The development of an all-electric injection machine, and the Austrian aid of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Institute of Industrial Technology, more and more Taiwanese manufacturers are actively investing in cooperation with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.
