On February 1, local time, the American government announced that all goods imported from China will be based on existing pricesAdd a 10% priceCovering electric vehicles, lithium batteries, semiconductors and3D print equipmentWait several strategic industries. This policy not only directly pushes the cost of supply on the American market, but has also forced the 3D printing industry in China to accelerate technological escape and the adjustment of the global provision.
The data show that in 2024, the total value of the Chinese 3D printing industry reached 9.371 billion yuan, including the 3D printing export scale of the United States reached 3.053 billion yuan, representing 37.4% of the total industry export volume. However, with the rise of prices, the most direct impact will be the increase in the export terminals of 3D printing equipment, which will directly weaken the competitiveness of the prices of Chinese companies. In this context, American customers can reduce the purchase of 3D printing equipment in China, turn to local brands or other alternative suppliers, and further affect the share of Chinese companies on the American market.
01 “two -way pressure”: costs transmission and risk of technological rupture
The Chinese 3D printing industry is faced with the double pinch of “blocked exports + increased import costs”. Regarding upstream components such as high -level laser and scanning mirror are based on European and American imports. 40% of the global 3D printing application. At the same time, the main companies with technical obstacles can avoid prices in overseas factories (such as Southeast Asia) to improve competitiveness.
02 Autonomous technical speed Speed: Open domestic replacement window
Driven by politics, the local supply chain inaugurated an opportunity to break through. In terms of main components, companies such as platinum and other companies accelerate the national alternative of laser with high power fibers and sweeping mirrors; 50% lower than imported products; These breakthroughs will help improve the independent controllable capacities of the Chinese 3D printing industry and improve global competitiveness.
03 market structure changes: increased domestic demand for the risk of coverage export
In the context of a limited external demand, interior emerging industries become a key stamp belt. In the field of the aerospace military industry, fir engines and satellite components use large-scale metal 3D printing, and the annual volume of companies supply such as aerospace sciences and workers has increased in a way significant of the year – over a year; Casse molds and light structural parts increased quickly. been included in many provincial collective catalogs, and industry applications should inaugurate rapid growth.
With the publication of the high interior manufacturing request, the 3D printing industry accelerates the development of controllable and high -value autonomous departments. in the international trade environment.
04 Global Games in the long term: 3D prints in a “strategic chip” advanced manufacturing “
The price upgrade reflects the strategic intention of the United States to limit the rise of China in the field of intelligent manufacturing. As a basic technology in industry 4.0, the 3D printed supply chain is in competition to go beyond the pure range of trade and evolve into a part of the world competition from science and technology. However, with the progressive maturity of the Chinese 3D printing industry, the competitiveness of national companies in basic technology, the integration of the industrial chain and market applications have continued to increase, and international influence continued to increase.
In this context, 3D printing competition between China and the United States should intensify more, showing a trend in the multidimensional extension of market competition to the supply chain, to technical standards and to the ‘Industrial ecology. In the future, the Sino -us 3D printing competition will be reflected not only in the competition of market products and shares, but also in deep games such as technological innovation, standard formulation of industry and the provision of intellectual property.
In general, the industry will accelerate the evolution of the direction of the triple upgrade of the “demand for transfer to conversion to low conversion content, with low conversion content, with low content of matters of Sale one time. Always difficult to avoid certain pains, especially on the problem of the “card of the card” of the key components, the autonomous and controllable capacity of the domestic supply chain still takes time to unravel.
