At present, China's injection moulding machinery industry is changing in the global market structure, highlighted by a sharp decline in imported equipment. Of course, the decline in imports does not mean that the use rate of foreign equipment has decreased, because most of the brand manufacturers have moved production to China; on the other hand, exports are also slowing down, especially after a year of rapid growth in 2012, the overall slowdown in 2013 is obvious.
   In October, 179 extruders were imported, with an import value of 66.79 million US dollars and an increase of 61.3% over the same period last year. Of course, the main reason for this increase is that the import of extruders began to decline continuously from October last year. This year, the import of extruders has declined considerably, and October is the first import growth in the second half of the year. Exports of extruders also fell this year as a whole. In October, 818 extruders were exported, with an export value of 25.574 million US dollars, down 12.3% compared with the same period last year. Overall, the export of extruders fell by 7.3% in the first 10 months of this year compared with the sharp growth in 2012.
   Although China's export of injection moulding machines to Thailand has declined sharply this year, there seems to be signs of warming up. In fact, there is a trend of increasing demand for extruders. From January to October this year, Thailand imported 413 extruders from China, with an export value of 22.2 million US dollars, an increase of 39.7% compared with the same period last year of 15.887 million US dollars, although last year was a year when Thailand replaced a large number of imports of plastic moulding machines. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the unit price of extruders has always been low, but Thailand's unit price has also exceeded 50,000 US dollars this year, reaching 54,000 US dollars.
  China's Injection Molding Machinery Industry Market Patterns may Change
   Although China's extruder market has developed rapidly, the export proportion of extruders is still low. The increasing pressure of raw material cost and energy cost makes energy saving and material saving the focus of extrusion processing industry. At the same time, extrusion technology suppliers can develop rich energy-saving schemes from various angles to meet the energy-saving needs of users to the greatest extent.
   The structure adjustment of injection moulding machinery in China enhances the development space of extruder industry. At present, the development status of domestic injection molding machinery industry is characterized by low independent innovation ability, fewer high-end and personalized special varieties, and low industry concentration. The existence of these problems leads to the fact that China's injection machinery industry can not catch up with the level of foreign injection machinery as soon as possible.

   After long-term development, the international influence of China's injection moulding machinery industry has been continuously improved, the ability to deal with trade protectionism has been strengthened, and the manufacturing technology and overall strength have been further improved. Therefore, there are many favorable conditions for China's extruder industry in terms of foreign trade export. Because the extruder products in our country are closely linked with strategic new industries, with the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and high performance-price ratio, and mainly export to developed countries at the middle and low end, this part of consumption demand presents rigidity, therefore, the development of extruder industry still has a larger market space.
