Chemical fiber machinery
According to the statistics of the Textile Machinery Association on key enterprises, in the first half of 2021, the shipments of chemical fiber machinery polyester, nylon and other filament spinning machines increased by 22.23% year-on-year; The shipment of high-speed ammunition dispenser increased by 111.11% year-on-year. It can be seen from the statistical data that in the first half of 2021, the overall production and sales of chemical fiber spinning machines still maintained an upward trend, and the downstream leading enterprises continued to expand their production capacity. They mainly purchased imported equipment, and some contracts purchased domestic equipment. Affected by the chemical fiber market, the market sales of ammunition dispensers increased rapidly compared with the same period last year. Ammunition dispenser manufacturers continued to maintain full production. Due to the steady progress of chemical fiber large enterprise projects, orders are being signed next year. In terms of staple fiber equipment, the new capacity in the first half of the year was mainly hollow fiber and low melting point fiber. It is expected that most large enterprises have production capacity and production plans in the second half of the year, but the actual production time may be at the end of the year, and mainly in succession. The actual output in the year is limited, which is difficult to have a significant impact on the market. In 2021, the newly added supply is mainly concentrated in differentiated specifications, and the increment of conventional varieties only comes from the resumption of production of individual enterprises. It is expected that the production equipment of ES and other composite fibers will be the focus of the market in the future.
Nonwovens machinery
According to the statistics of Textile Machinery Association on key enterprises, the shipment of nonwoven production line increased steadily in the first half of 2021. The shipment volume of spunlaced nonwovens production line increased by 48.72% year-on-year; The shipment volume of needle punched nonwovens production line increased by 26.23% year-on-year; The shipments of spunbonded, melt blown and melt spun composite nonwovens production lines decreased by more than 90% year-on-year.
Spunlaced nonwovens still occupy an important position in the fields of medical and health care, personal protection and wiping materials. Spunlaced nonwovens equipment also delivered from the factory in the first half of this year. Due to the release of spunlaced production capacity, Spunlaced prices decreased significantly, and some customers delayed delivery, the new orders in the second half of this year are not optimistic, The industry needs some time to digest the rapidly increased production capacity in the past two years and strengthen the development of new application fields.
In 2020, due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control and the production of epidemic prevention materials, the production and demand of the needle punched nonwovens industry were restrained. From the fourth quarter to the first half of this year, the needle punched nonwovens market ushered in the market recovery after the epidemic. The new application of air filtration and mask and the automobile industry with special requirements for sound insulation and heat insulation are also promoting the growth of the needle punched market. According to the association's understanding of some backbone needle enterprises, their sales reached or exceeded the highest level in history in the first half of the year, and the expectation in the second half of the year is also cautiously optimistic.
Melt blown, spunbonded and spunbonded melt blown equipment, etc. after ultra-high growth in 2020, the industry estimates that the sales volume in the next 3-5 years has been advanced. The delivery volume of production line in the first half of the year is mostly signed in the previous year, and the sales expectation in the second half of the year is generally not optimistic. A large number of second-hand equipment have been sold off in the market. It is expected that after one or two rounds of industry reshuffle, the normal supply and demand order of the industry is expected to be rebuilt within two years.
Hot air equipment is similar to spinning and melting. In 2020, due to the increase of epidemic prevention demand, the equipment market of hot air cloth was once optimistic. However, due to the improvement of spinning and melting, spunlaced process and finishing technology, the advantages of fluffy and soft characteristics of hot air cloth are no longer significant, and the sales situation of hot air online for half a year is not reasonable. In the future, we should strengthen the research and development of new technologies and new products.
Industry situation outlook
In the first half of 2021, China's overall epidemic prevention and control work achieved remarkable results, and the economic and social development continued to be stable and recovered steadily. The market demand of China's textile machinery industry has gradually picked up, the overall business situation of enterprises has been improved, and the operation of the industry has developed steadily.
Looking forward to the second half of the year, with the further enhancement of China's endogenous economic power, the layout of medium and long-term development strategies and the implementation of projects, and the gradual clarity of the global economic situation, China's macro economy is expected to accelerate the process from sustained recovery to normalization. At the meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on July 30, it was proposed to strengthen scientific and technological innovation and the toughness of the industrial chain supply chain, strengthen basic research, promote applied research, carry out special actions to supplement and strengthen the chain, accelerate the solution of the "neck" problem, and develop specialized, special and new small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, the central bank lowered the deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions and other financial reform measures in early July to further support the development of the real economy and enable small and medium-sized enterprises to receive more financial support. In the future, with the continuous implementation of industrial policies and under the guidance of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern of double cycle, measures such as the layout of self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology, the security layout of industrial chain supply chain, the smooth flow of domestic cycle and the supplement of short board, and the start of the strategy of expanding domestic demand will help to optimize the business financing environment, stabilize consumption and investment demand, and support the stable operation of the industry.
At the same time, there are many unstable factors in the current development situation faced by the textile machinery industry. The epidemic situation has rebounded in many places in China, the global epidemic situation is still evolving, the international political and economic situation is still complex, and new challenges caused by the rise in raw material prices, the surge in logistics costs and the bottleneck of the global supply chain since the beginning of the year still exist, All these have brought great production and operation pressure to enterprises, and the stable development of the industry is still facing many tests.
In response to external environmental changes, the textile machinery industry will continue to focus on intelligent manufacturing and industrial upgrading, promote independent innovation, comply with market demand, actively explore international and domestic markets, properly respond, improve risk resistance and development resilience, and promote high-quality development of the industry.
