(4) The profits of the industry keep rising. The specific performance in the industry's total profit increased significantly; the industry's annual profit rate increased significantly; corporate profits rose significantly.

(5) The strength of science and technology continues to increase. Nearly 10 colleges and universities in China have set up plastic molding machinery and have master's qualifications. Among them, two key universities have also established doctoral programs. In China's press industry, there are 3 national professional research centers (National Engineering Research Center for New Polymer Molding Equipment, Plastics Machinery Technology Development Center and National Mould Research Center), 1 state-level enterprise technology center, and provincial and municipal specialties. There are 10 research institutes, 2 professional testing centers, and 10 professional research institutes for enterprises.

The entire industry is engaged in teaching and research staff of more than 1,000 people. Professional and technical personnel continue to increase, and scientific research results are abundant.

(6) The product categories are continuously complete. The main products of China's press industry can be divided into 4 categories, 19 categories, 53 different types and hundreds of varieties. The main products are: compounding equipment, injection molding machines, extrusion lines, blow molding machines, calendering Production lines, various types of secondary processing equipment and various ancillary equipment have formed a complete range of product systems.

(7) The "Three New" achievements are constantly emerging. With the continuous improvement of science and technology innovation and independent innovation awareness of China's press manufacturing companies, and continuous improvement of technological capabilities, new technologies, new products, and new achievements in the industry have emerged in an endless stream. Among them, the research and development of new injection molding machines have been continuously successful. In recent years, new types of injection molding machines developed by China's presses companies include: CD injection molding machines, micro injection molding machines, and all-electric injection molding machines.

(8) The industrial upgrading continues to accelerate. After the leap-forward development in the new century, China's plastics machinery industry has entered a new stage that must be promoted through structural optimization and upgrading. To this end, China's plastics machinery industry must take the establishment and implementation of the scientific concept of development as the key to promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, and actively promote industrial upgrading to overcome resource constraints, change growth patterns, improve the quality and efficiency of growth, and enhance the international competitiveness of the industry. It is of great significance to focus on creating an atmosphere of industrial harmony, strengthen the guidance of industrial upgrading, vigorously carry out technical exchanges and technical training, and strengthen the promotion and introduction of new technologies, new products, and new achievements.

3 Five areas lead the development trend of China's plastics industry At present, China's plastics machinery industry has five opportunities. First, the country accelerates the process of industrialization. For the equipment manufacturing industry, including plastics machinery, it will maintain a long period of prosperity. This will inevitably lead the press industry to “increase in quantity and quality”. The second is the process of new countryside construction and urbanization that China is currently accelerating. It has opened up new areas of work and service space for the development of China's press industry. Third, China's machinery industry has a clear international comparative advantage. Economic globalization and international industrial transfer will further stimulate the export of China's mechanical and electrical products, including plastic machinery, and provide tremendous impetus for the development of the industry. Fourth, the policy effect of the party and the country in revitalizing the equipment manufacturing industry has become increasingly apparent. It will surely continue to guide and drive the rapid development of China's press industry. Fifth, the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, making the industry's vitality continue to increase.
