Computerized Flat Knitting Machine: How Long Can We Keep On Selling?

current

At present, the number of handheld flat knitting machines in China is about 1 million 600 thousand, while the number of computerized flat knitting machines is only about 100 thousand. The industry generally believes that computerized flat knitting machines will maintain a steady growth trend for a long time in the future.

This judgment comes from the support of industry development plan and from the rapid development of computerized flat knitting machine at this stage.

As consumers

Usher in opportunities for development

In order to meet the production requirements of multiple varieties, small quantities, tight delivery and high quality, knitted sweater manufacturers have put forward higher requirements for production equipment. With the rising labor costs in China, the pace of upgrading of production equipment of knitting enterprises will be faster and faster. Under this background, computerized flat knitting machines have ushered in a good opportunity for development.

Whether computerized flat knitting machine manufacturers or sweater manufacturers all feel the hot selling of computerized flat knitting machines.

Last year, the sales of computerized flat knitting machines of Ningbo yulen Knitting Machinery Co., Ltd. surpassed the sum of foreign famous enterprises, Germany stor and SHIMADZU of Japan, and achieved the output value of 2 billion 580 million yuan, an increase of 183.2% over the same period last year.

Wang Shili, director of the production of Yucheng cashmere company of Shandong Lu Yin group, told reporters that the company purchased sixty or seventy computerized flat knitting machines from Yu Ren last year. Compared with the equipment previously used by the company, the production efficiency of the newly purchased equipment doubled at least.

In order to promote industrial upgrading, in 2010, Haiyang, Shandong, issued a total subsidy of 5 million 230 thousand yuan for computerized flat knitting machines and more than 1200 new computer flat knitting machines.

This year, Haiyang will continue to increase subsidies for computerized flat knitting machines, and strive to achieve the goal of achieving 5000 sets of computerized flat knitting machines.

It is understood that as of mid March, Qinghe County, Hebei, all revenue has been completed 201 million 700 thousand yuan, an increase of 55.8% over the previous year, ahead of schedule to achieve the first quarter of fiscal revenue.

Qinghe economic development is gratifying. The key is that a large number of large projects have been completed and put into operation. 25 new textile production lines and 320 computerized flat knitting machines are undoubtedly one of the most important projects.

Huang Liqiang, general manager of Kowloon Ma company, is confident that this year's computer flat knitting machine will have a bright future. The company plans to invest 30 million yuan in 2011 to build a modern new office building, so as to achieve the goal of all standardization and standardization of technology R & D, planning, production and sales.

Huang Liqiang said the company plans to double sales in 2011 than it did in 2010.

Recognition of SMEs

At present, the market is unpredictable. The flat knitting machine can maintain a good sales. Besides the equipment itself, it has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and labor reduction, and is closely related to the technical pformation, structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the entire knitting industry.

On the one hand, in order to adapt to the development of the times, knitted garment enterprises constantly improve the overall equipment level, strengthen R & D, design and market operation, so as to occupy a place in the current competitive market.

With the enhancement of the requirements of garment garment, fashion, comfort and individuation, ordinary flat knitting machines have been unable to meet the production requirements of high quality and complex flower patterns. Labor costs continue to rise, production efficiency is low, variety replacement is troublesome, and market reaction is slow, which makes knitted garment enterprises further strengthen their determination to replace ordinary flat knitting machines.

As we all know, hand-held flat knitting machine and semi-automatic flat knitting machine gradually withdraw from the stage of history. It is inevitable trend that computerized flat knitting machine takes the place of it. It is only a matter of time.

At the same time, the domestic computerized flat knitting machine has won the favor of many small and medium-sized knitting enterprises with its advantages of low cost and good quality.

Experts expect that by the end of 12th Five-Year, the demand for computerized flat knitting machines will reach nearly 200 thousand units in China.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the development of the whole world sweater production and its mechanical manufacturing, the focus of the whole sweater industry has shifted from developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan to Korea, China, Taiwan and Hongkong, etc. in recent years, there has been a trend of widespread pfer to mainland China, India and Turkey.

At present, China's sweater production capacity has occupied 70% of the world's market.

With the sharp rise in labor costs, the demand for computerized flat knitting machines in the domestic market is increasing. Most of the enterprises that used hand-held flat knitting machines hope to change the flat knitting machine as soon as possible.

In the next 3 years, domestic knitting enterprises' demand for computerized flat knitting machines is expected to reach or exceed the scale of 30 billion yuan per year.

Steady growth will continue

At present, the number of handheld flat knitting machines in China is about 1 million 600 thousand, and the number of computerized flat knitting machines is only about 100 thousand. In the industry, it is generally believed that computerized flat knitting machines will maintain steady growth for a long time in the future.

This judgment comes from the support of the industry development plan and from the development of the computerized flat knitting machine at this stage.

At the end of 12th Five-Year, the China Textile Industry Association proposed that the domestic market share of domestic knitting machines such as computerized flat knitting machines and warp knitting machines should reach 60%, providing strong policy support for the healthy and rapid development of domestic computerized flat knitting machines in the future.

At the same time, the development of domestic computerized flat knitting machine has basically met the production requirements of domestic medium and low duty sweater enterprises after years of development.

It is understood that the price of domestic computerized flat knitting machines is generally around 80 thousand ~15 yuan, less than 1/4 of import price, and the maintenance cost is much lower than that of imported equipment. The advantage of cost performance ratio is obvious. These advantages make the domestic computerized flat knitting machine quickly capture the plan of the middle and low end market dominated by foreign manufacturers.

However, it is regrettable that in the high-end market, the domestic computerized flat knitting machine has a large gap in terms of functional diversity and other similar products abroad. These fields are still occupied by famous foreign manufacturers such as Japan island and Stoll, Germany.

With the development of China's knitting industry and industrial upgrading, the manufacturing technology of domestic computerized flat knitting machines will continue to improve, and the development of domestic equipment to high-end fields has become an inevitable trend.

It is understood that in the past three years, the domestic market demand for computerized flat knitting machines remained at around 11 thousand units. Experts expect that the annual compound growth rate of high-end computerized flat knitting machines is expected to remain around 5% during the "12th Five-Year" period. By 2015, the domestic high-end computer flat knitting machine is expected to reach 14 thousand units.

Some technicians of knitted sweater manufacturers have told reporters that the computerized flat knitting machines have made rapid progress in the past decade, but there is still a long way to go before they go to the international market.

"Manufacturing technology is not a very complex product. It is possible to use domestic computerized flat knitting machines.

However, if we want to do some complicated products with high requirements for processing technology, we will not be able to do the domestic computers.

This is an appraisal of Master Li, who worked for more than 10 years in a wool knitting enterprise in Shandong, for domestic and foreign computerized flat knitting machines.

This evaluation is typical.

"The domestic computerized flat knitting machine is worse than the foreign equipment in terms of precision, needles, needle plates, triangles and so on. Each place is so poor that the clothes made are much worse, and the gap may take many years to make up for it. It may be ten years, eight years, maybe longer."

Master Li added.
