As an industry practitioner and researcher, the author briefly interprets it as follows, for reference only: (* and mainly uses artificial intelligence tools such as DeepSeek for industry analysis)

1. Analysis of the difference between the initial and final versions of the 2025 list

Changes in the number and structure of enterprises

Total expansion: The comprehensive strength list has increased from the top 40 to the top 42. (according to the main business revenue in 2024), new companies include Guangdong Jiaming Machinery (14th place), Liuzhou Jingye Machinery (42nd place), etc., reflecting the industry expansion trend. Adjustment of segments: The injection molding machine list has expanded from top 17 to top 18, and Ningbo Bole Intelligent Machinery has returned to the top 10 in the industry (9th place in main business revenue).

Ranking changes and head pattern

Head stability: Haitian Plastic Machinery has ranked first in the comprehensive strength list for 14 consecutive years, and Yizhimi has maintained the second place in the field of injection molding machines. New companies: Bochuang Intelligent and Guangdong Lijin entered the top ten for the first time with their net profit growth.

Adjust the reason for the

Optimization of review standards: The final version focuses more on net profit and technological innovation capabilities, and the ranking of some traditional-scale enterprises has been lowered. Corporate dynamics: For example, Haitian Plastic Machinery achieved counter-trend growth in orders through its globalization strategy, and Dalian Rubber and Plastic has improved its market position due to the difficulties in high-end technology.

2. Development trends of China's plastic machine industry in 2025

Market and technology direction

High-end and intelligent: Injection molding machines are developing towards high-precision and fully electrified, with a penetration rate of intelligent manufacturing systems reaching 62%, and AI optimization process reduces the scrap rate to 1.5%. Green transformation: The market size of biodegradable materials has increased by 38% year-on-year, and the recycling rate target has increased to 45% driven by policy.

Application field expansion

New energy vehicles: The penetration rate of modified engineering plastics in battery housings reaches 78%, supporting the top 10 car companies in the world. Biomedicine: The implantation of 3D printed PEEK skull restoration increased by 112% annually, and the accuracy of medical-grade LCP materials reached 0.01mm.

Internationalization and competitive landscape

Export growth: The export volume of injection molding machines increased by 28.77% year-on-year from January to June 2025, with emerging markets such as Vietnam and India as the main destinations. Import substitution: The gap between the average import price of high-end injection molding machines and the average export price has narrowed to US$36,300 per unit, and domestic substitution has accelerated.

3. Industry trends and regional distribution

3.1). Technical direction: In 2025, it emphasizes intelligence and greening, such as Jinwei Machinery's solutions in the fields of new energy and medical care; in 2024, it focuses on international layout (such as Shanghai Jinwei acquires Germany's Courtesy). 3.2). Regional concentration: Both local selections show that East China and South China are the core areas, with enterprises in the two places accounting for more than 50% in 2025, which is basically the same as the pattern dominated by Ningbo in 2024.

4. Changes in economic indicators

In 2024: National large-scale plastic machine enterprises achieved main business revenue of 94.1 billion yuan, a 9.65% annual compound growth rate (CAGR for short) from 65.1 billion yuan in 2019. The output of special equipment for plastic processing reached 389,900 units, an increase of 4.42% year-on-year. Zhejiang (39.13%) and Guangdong (16.99%) are the two core production areas. The market size of injection molding machine auxiliary equipment is about 4.48 billion yuan, and the transformation of intelligence and greenness is accelerating. 2025: The plastic machinery industry maintains a "stable and fast" development trend, and it is expected that the main business revenue will exceed 100 billion yuan in 2025. The growth rate of the biodegradable plastics market is significant, with an average annual growth of 18%-22% from 2025 to 2030, and is expected to reach 150 billion yuan in 2030.

5. Summarize the differences

Data timeliness: Reflecting the recovery after the epidemic in 2025 (export growth), and being more affected by the international environment in 2024 (export declines). Technology focus: shift from international expansion in 2024 to intelligent upgrade in 2025. Rookie field: New companies will focus more on high-end technological breakthroughs in 2025, while in 2024, they will focus on capacity expansion companies.
