Breaking 2023|Knitting machinery: continue to improve efficiency and production capacity
China Textile Machinery Industry Department Three
In the first three quarters of 2022, due to market saturation, inventory backlog, and weakening consumer demand in the downstream market, the market operations of the three major types of knitting machinery are facing certain downward pressure. However, knitting machinery and equipment are highly efficient, high-capacity, and Intelligence continues to improve. Domestic companies respond to market demand in a timely manner with differentiatednew products and new technologies, launching them into the market on time Gradually speed up.
New product iterations of circular knitting machines continue to develop
According to statistics from the Textile Machinery Association, sales of circular knitting machines in the first three quarters of 2022 were approximately 17,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 32%. In the first quarter, circular knitting machine companies mainly produced orders for the end of the previous year and maintained a certain level of production and sales; starting from the second quarter, the impact of the epidemic and the downturn in the downstream market led to a sharp drop in the number of machine orders; in the third quarter, as the industrial chain gradually recovered, the market was stable. Eased; in the fourth quarter, downward pressure was greater. In the first three quarters, circular knitting machine exports were approximately US$300 million, a year-on-year increase of 12%; imports were approximately US$30 million, a year-on-year increase of 12%. down 45%. India and Vietnam are my country’s main countries for exporting circular knitting machines, and Bangladesh’s exports of circular knitting machines have seen relatively large growth.
The development of new products and new technologies for circular knitting machines is reflected in the direction of high machine size and high machine speed. While increasing the speed, it also improves the processing accuracy and ensures the stable operation of the equipment. In addition, we continue to make efforts in the development and iteration of differentiated products such as loop pile cutting machines and sweatshirt machines. The application of equipment components such as the automatic doffing system of the cloth rolling machine, the knitting needle monitoring system, and the clothquality online monitoring system are also helping to improve the automation level of the circular knitting machine industry.
Computerized flat knitting machine applications continue to expand
In the first three quarters of 2022, the sales volume of computerized flat knitting machines is about 52,000 units, with production and sales declining significantly; the sales of fully formed models in Tongxiang and other sweater industrial cluster places have increased year-on-year .
The highlights of computerized flat knitting machines in 2022 are mainly reflected in the closer integration with downstream product development and design. Full-formed knitting technology has become a trend. Domestic two-needle plate fully-formed computerized flat knitting machines already have a certain market share. At the same time, the product applications of computerized flat knitting machines continue to expand into home textile and industrial fields.
Warp knitting machines have a clear trend towards high speed and wide width
In the first three quarters, the sales volume of warp knitting machines was approximately 2,500 units. India is the main exporting country, and the most obvious increases are Bangladesh and Iran. In recent years, the number of double needle bed warp knitting machines has dropped significantly for the first time in recent years, and the lace machine market has been weak.
Warp knitting machines continue to develop in the direction of high speed and wide width. The application of new composite materials, the improvement of processing accuracy, and the research and development of motor control technology have made warp knitting machines more and more popular. The weaving speed continues to break through. In addition, the real-time monitoring system for fabric quality has become standard equipment for weaving high-end warp knitted fabrics. Warp knitting machine production Internet of Things monitoring and fault diagnosis control systems are gradually applied in warp knitting manufacturing enterprises.
From a mid- to long-term perspective, China’s economy is highly resilient, has great potential, and has a lot of room for maneuver, and its long-term positive fundamentals have not changed. Looking forward to the future, enterprises in the industry will continue to improve the technical level of domestic key components by paying close attention to the upgrading and transformation of traditional industries, break through the automation technology of knitting and weaving workshops, and provide personalized customization and system solutions that are closer to user needs, which will help to grasp more Market opportunities.
