CURRENT STATUS OF RUBBER AND PLASTIC SEAL INDUSTRY AT HOME AND ABROAD

Rubber and plastic seals are important basic components of mechanical products. With the rapid development of new industrial technology, resource crisis and the emphasis on environmental protection, higher requirements are placed on the performance, reliability and life of the seal ring, and the seal industry is also facing more new challenges. Let us analyze the current status of the rubber and plastic seal ring industry at home and abroad. How should we respond to the changing trend of the seal ring industry?

Current status of rubber and plastic seal industry at home and abroad

1. Domestic situation

There are more than 300 small and medium-sized rubber and plastic seal manufacturers in China. In recent years, the development of enterprises has taken a bipolar direction in the competition for survival of the fittest: some enterprises have died, some small businesses have gone bankrupt or converted; others have grown rapidly in the construction machinery industry, especially for loader cylinders, excavator rotary joints and other parts sealing accessories are becoming more and more perfect.

According to the statistics of the China Liquid and Airtight Industry Association, the five largest rubber and plastic seal manufacturers in China had sales revenue of approximately 523 million yuan (RMB) in 2002, an increase of approximately 30% over the previous year. It shows that the growth rate of scale production is gratifying. Product sales destination (sales): the automotive industry accounts for 57.8%; engineering vehicles, engineering construction machinery and mining machinery account for 5.6%; metallurgy, chemical and petroleum machinery account for 4.1%.

2. International situation

New statistics show that among the top 50 global non-tire rubber manufacturers, there are 15 in the United States, 14 in Japan, 7 in Germany, and 5 in the United Kingdom, of which 11 have sales revenues of more than $ 1 billion. The total sales revenue of the Top 50 is US $ 37 billion, a decrease of 5.3% from the previous year ’s US $ 39 billion, of which nearly one-third of the companies suffered losses. From the perspective of the scale of enterprises, Chinese enterprises still missed the list.

Opportunities and challenges for domestic companies

The rubber and plastic seals industry is supporting the main engine. The rapid growth of the main engine industry has created space for our industry, boosted our development, and brought us opportunities for development. In particular, we have a small proportion of construction machinery supporting seals. In order to improve their product level, the host industry has a great tendency to purchase imported accessories. We should seize the opportunity, pay close attention to the adjustment of industrial structure and product structure, and increase market share.

The growth momentum of the main engine industry has increased its attractiveness to the foreign rubber and plastic seal industry. The goal is to export to Japan and provide support for Japanese automobile manufacturers in China. The investment of foreign capital has created greater pressures and challenges on the investment and transformation of our enterprises and their technological level, prompting us to increase and accelerate the strength and speed of transformation and adjustment. Spring seals, elastomer bellow seals, pump seals, elastomer bellow seals, mechanical seals also tend to diversify.

China's sealing industry has huge market prospects. As a domestic manufacturer of high-quality seals, we are committed to providing high-quality and high-quality seals to customers at home and abroad
