Introduction to the Basic Situation of China's Polishing Machinery Industry

Due to the fact that the first two industrial revolutions occurred in Europe and America, China lags behind European and American countries to a large extent in mechanical manufacturing. Especially in the manufacturing of heavy machinery, China started much later and only experienced slow development after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the reform and opening up, it finally reached its peak of development. Some emerging mechanical industries have also begun to appear in China after the reform and opening up, such as the polishing machinery in the surface treatment industry that we mainly talk about here, which has only developed in recent decades. The polishing and grinding of objects existed before entering the mechanization process. At that time, the processing methods were only manual or rough, and could not meet the standard requirements of industrial processing. In the era of standardized processing, the previous model is no longer able to meet production needs. With the establishment of China as a global manufacturing center, this not only indicates China's continuous improvement in the world economy, but also poses a severe challenge to China's manufacturing industry.
The polishing machinery industry is an industry developed after the reform and opening up, and has a certain representativeness in the new machinery industry. At present, the polishing machinery industry has basically entered a mid stage of development after decades of development. The old generation of equipment is in the stage of elimination, basic equipment is entering the mature stage, and the new generation of more advanced equipment is in the stage of continuous development. At such a transition point between old and new, there is often intense competition within the industry, which can lead to the rise of some emerging companies. So, at present, we are in the most fiercely competitive and rapidly developing period since the rise of this industry, while also providing enormous opportunities.
Through investigation and summary, it can be seen that the current usage composition of polishing machinery is present in the downstream polishing processing industry of the polishing machinery industry. The usage of manual polishing machinery is still relatively high, accounting for about half of the components; The usage rate of automatic polishing machinery has significantly increased in recent years, reaching about 40%, and is replacing manual polishing machinery at a faster speed; In addition, with technological innovation, intelligent polishing has been developed in the high-tech field and applied in small-scale production practice, accounting for less than 10%. This also corresponds to China's goal of building a world manufacturing powerhouse.
Overall, the development of China's polishing machinery industry is relatively lagging behind compared to other machinery industries. From the proportion of manual polishing machinery used, it can be seen that there is still significant room for improvement. But from the perspective of the entire industry, there is still a driving force for development. Some mechanical manufacturing enterprises with technology and innovation are rising, driving the entire industry into a new round of innovation.
