"Twelfth Five-Year" Development Plan of China's Printing Equipment Manufacturing Industry

The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period is an important strategic opportunity period for my country to accelerate the transformation of the economic development mode and fully realize the grand goal of building a well-off society. As an important part of the national economy and an important support for the development of the printing industry, the printing equipment manufacturing industry also faces the heavy task of industrial restructuring and upgrading. Scientific preparation and implementation of the "Twelfth Five-Year" development plan for China's printing equipment manufacturing industry is an important measure to implement the scientific development concept, enhance independent innovation capabilities, and revitalize the national printing equipment manufacturing industry. It is fundamental for my country to achieve the goal of building a world printing power. effect. Entrusted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Printing and Equipment Industry Association is responsible for compiling the "Twelfth Five-Year" Development Plan for China's Printing Equipment Manufacturing Industry. 1. Review of the development of printing equipment manufacturing industry during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period (1) Major achievements 1. Rapid industrial scale development The annual output value reached 15 billion yuan, a cumulative increase of 15.4% over the 13 billion yuan at the beginning of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" (2006), and 52 times the output value of the national printing equipment manufacturing industry in 1984 (290 million yuan). 2. The effect of product structure adjustment is obvious During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the product structure of my country's printing equipment manufacturing industry has been further improved. The manufacturing of printing equipment has basically achieved a complete range of high, medium and low-grade equipment. The medium and low-grade equipment can not only meet domestic needs, but also some are exported to the international market. The development speed of new products of the enterprise has been accelerated, and the output value rate of new products has exceeded 50%. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, significant progress has been made in the research and development and production of multi-color offset printing machines. In 2005, the annual output of various types of sheet-fed multi-color offset presses was less than 200, and in 2009, it increased to 1,280, a net increase of more than 1,000, which changed the previous situation that related products were completely dependent on imports. 3. New progress in independent innovation During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, some major breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of printing technology and equipment. Breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of high-tech equipment such as CTP plate-making machines, inkjet digital printing machines, and satellite flexographic printing machines, which represent the development direction of contemporary advanced technologies, and a number of national enterprises with strong independent innovation capabilities have emerged. The specific progress in various fields is as follows: CTP plate-making machine: At present, many enterprises in my country can produce CTP plate-making machines of their own brands, and domestic enterprises have mastered the mainstream technologies such as thermal, purple laser and UV CTP. Inkjet digital printing press: During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, my country has successfully developed inkjet digital printing presses and successfully introduced them to the market. Offset presses: medium-sized newspaper presses have reached the world advanced level, and commercial web-fed offset presses have made important progress. Satellite flexographic printing machine: During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, Chinese enterprises have successfully developed a high-speed web-based satellite flexographic printing machine. The comprehensive technical level of this equipment is close to the international advanced level. Printing materials: Thermal and photosensitive CTP plates with independent intellectual property rights have been successfully developed and mass-produced, and important progress has been made in the research and development of flexographic plates. 4. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the printing equipment manufacturing industry has accelerated its pace of going global. Shanghai Electric, a domestic printing machinery manufacturing enterprise, has successively acquired Akiyama Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. of Japan and Goss International Group of the United States, which has promoted my country's The development of high-end offset printing technology. 5. The export of printing equipment has achieved considerable growth. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the export of printing equipment has achieved significant growth despite the adverse effects of the financial crisis. In 2008, my country's printing equipment exports reached 981 million US dollars, a new high in recent years. The impact of the financial crisis fell to $590 million, still an 11% increase over 2006. At the same time, my country's exports of printing materials such as films, plates, inks, and paper have achieved considerable growth. 6. Product quality has been greatly improved During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, with the upgrading of processing technology and testing technology in printing machinery manufacturing enterprises, the processing quality of the main parts of printing machinery has been greatly improved. The application of computer management in the process of enterprise new product development has greatly shortened the new product development cycle, and product standards have gradually been in line with international standards, reaching or partially reaching international standards. The vast majority of enterprises have established a quality assurance system according to international standards, and carried out safety standard system certification, so that the safety performance of their products meets the requirements of European safety standards. In the past five years, in the product quality inspection activities of the printing machine industry, the inspection pass rate of more than 100 kinds of products from 105 enterprises has reached 100%. (2) The main problems At present, the main problems of my country's printing equipment manufacturing industry are that the product structure is still unreasonable, the independent innovation ability of high, precise and cutting-edge printing technologies is not strong, and the technical level of some high-end printing machines is low, which is similar to the international ones. Compared with products, there is a big gap, and some printing equipment represented by high-end offset presses still mainly rely on imports. According to the information provided by the General Administration of Customs, in recent years, my country's annual import value of printing equipment is about 1.6 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to half of the total output value of the domestic printing machinery industry. For example, in 2007, printing factories across the country purchased a total of 1,283 high-end offset presses, while 1,135 were imported that year, accounting for 88.5% of the total number of high-end machines purchased. In 2008 and 2009, due to the impact of the financial crisis, the number of imported printing equipment in my country declined, but in the high-end printing equipment market, imported equipment still dominated. Comprehensively comparing the gap between the domestic printing equipment manufacturing industry and the international advanced level, the main problems are: weak scientific research and development capabilities, low product performance grades, and low levels of digitalization and intelligence. In the research of important process technologies such as product design, key core technologies, parts materials, manufacturing accuracy, product stability, reliability, etc., there is a large gap with foreign advanced levels, and it is necessary to catch up. 2. The tasks and goals of the development of the printing equipment manufacturing industry during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period In combination with the current situation and existing problems of the printing equipment manufacturing industry in my country, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the main tasks and goals for the development of the printing equipment manufacturing industry are to conduct in-depth research Domestic and foreign printing markets and technology development trends, focusing on the development of digital printing and printing digital technology equipment, high-end printing machinery, high-end post-press equipment and green environmental protection equipment, enhance independent innovation capabilities, expand production capacity, and change as soon as possible high-end equipment mainly relies on imported products. situation. Actively develop and expand the international market, and strive to achieve more than 80% of the import value of printing equipment in 2015. (1) The development trend of the printing industry and the tasks it faces It has become an important direction for the development of the world printing industry. According to statistics, the annual growth rate of digital printing retail sales in the United States is 18%, the growth rate in Europe is 22%, and the average annual growth rate in the rest of the world is 8%, all of which are higher than the overall development level of the printing industry; CTP plate making machines are popular in developed countries in Europe and America. The rate has reached 70%-80%, and the digital workflow integrating pre-press, printing and post-press processes is developing rapidly. Compared with developed countries, my country's printing industry started late in the application of digital printing and printing digital technology, but it is showing an accelerated development trend. According to statistics, as of July 2009, the total installed capacity of high-end color digital printing machines in my country was 354. The installed capacity of production-type color digital printing presses is 990, and the installed capacity of production-type black and white digital printing presses is 66, both of which have achieved substantial growth over the previous year. In the same period of 2008, more than 600 units were added. Compared with developed countries, the digitalization process of my country's printing industry is in the stage of rapid popularization, and there will be a lot of room for development during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. 2. Green printing is an important trend in the development of the printing industry Environmental protection is a major issue related to the long-term survival and development of human beings. In recent years, countries and all walks of life in the world have paid unprecedented attention to environmental protection issues. Energy saving, consumption reduction, green and environmental protection have become the inevitable requirements for the development of printing production. In order to improve the green environmental protection level of the printing industry, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Press and Publication have started the formulation of national environmental protection printing standards, and signed the "Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Implementing Green Printing". The group will study and formulate green printing action plans, improve the green printing evaluation system, promote the implementation of green printing standards in printing enterprises, give priority to green printing of textbooks for primary and secondary schools, and gradually promote the printing of government-purchased products, food and drug packaging and printing and other fields. At the same time, strengthen policy support for printing enterprises to implement green printing, eliminate outdated printing processes, technologies and production capacity, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the printing industry. This shows that effectively improving the level of environmental protection has become an important trend in the development of the printing industry and an issue that printing companies must face. 3. Structural adjustment and industrial upgrading are urgent tasks facing my country's printing industry. In recent years, with the changes in the internal and external industrial environment, the industrial structure of my country's printing industry is facing a profound adjustment: in terms of production capacity distribution, the production capacity of medium and low-end products is excessive. , the problem of insufficient production capacity of high-end products needs to be solved urgently; in terms of product structure, under the impact of electronic media, the growth rate of publication printing represented by book and newspaper printing has slowed down, and the proportion in the printing industry will show a downward trend, while service Packaging, commerce and label printing for industrial production and commodity circulation continue to maintain steady and rapid development, and the proportion in the printing industry will further increase. At the same time, with the changes in the market environment, the problem of partial surplus of printing production capacity has become increasingly prominent, the profit margin of printing enterprises has declined significantly, and some enterprises have fallen into operational difficulties and urgently need to transform and upgrade. my country's printing industry is facing the heavy task of structural adjustment and industrial upgrading. It is a challenge for China's printing industry to cultivate a group of large-scale leading enterprises with strong technology and scale strength and a large number of "small, refined, specialized and special" characteristic printing enterprises. urgent task.
