According to the statistics of the China Textile Machinery Association on key production enterprises, the wide, high-yield, high-efficiency and high-speed needle-punching production lines in the first three quarters of 2017 are hot spots in the market. Differentiated products also ushered in a good space for growth, acupuncture The production line (more than 2.5 meters wide) sold more than 100 pieces, of which 60 lines were sold over 3 meters wide, and about 20 lines were sold over 6 meters. The market demand for spunlace production lines has maintained a high-speed growth trend. In the first three quarters of 2017, about 30 spunlace equipment production lines were sold, and domestic sales of spunbond and spun-melt composite production lines reached about 50.
In the first three quarters of 2017, the import value of non-woven machinery was US$51.94 million, a year-on-year increase of 24.74%, and the export value was US$61.08 million, a year-on-year increase of 11.87%.
From the situation in the first three quarters, the sales of spunbond and spun-melt composite production lines are relatively flat in terms of quantity. It is estimated that by the end of 2017, the stock of non-woven fabric production lines in China will be nearly 1,500.
Corresponding to the slowdown in investment growth in the downstream industry, the market demand characteristics of non-woven machinery in the first three quarters of 2017 have also changed accordingly. The demand for medium and low-end equipment has been greatly reduced, and the demand for mid-end and mid-to-high end has increased. Significantly, orders are concentrated in enterprises with strong technical reserves and large production scale. Some overseas companies have introduced new models for the demand characteristics of the Chinese market and shortened the delivery time. It is worth mentioning that the market demand for the needle-punching needle machine in 2017 is very strong, and the sales of this unit unit also bring a lot of income to the related machinery enterprises. The market demand for spunlace production lines has maintained a high-speed growth trend, and German and French equipment manufacturers also have good sales performance.
According to the market situation in 2017, companies are generally optimistic about the sales situation of the spunlace production line in 2018. Some companies that used to focus on the production of acupuncture lines are also eager to try.
At present, some new trends in the market are worthy of attention, that is, the new equipment with high speed and high output is more incremental, and the equipment update speed is faster. Some companies are developing process routes such as direct spinning and spunbonding. In addition to the traditional large-scale products, the demand for processing equipment such as PLA, PPS, PE, and elastic materials has also appeared in China. Despite this, the homogenization phenomenon in the domestic non-woven equipment market is still relatively serious. In addition to supplying the domestic market, the production capacity of more than 100 production lines per year has entered the international market. In the face of future market demand, non-woven fabric machinery will develop in the direction of high speed, high yield and differentiation.
