2025 Core Trends of Pulp Molding Equipment Industry: Technology Integration and Pattern Reconstruction
I. Technology Integration: Trilateral Upgrade of "Intelligence + Green Development + Customization"
- Process and New Material Adaptation Upgrade: With the proportion of bio-based raw materials (bamboo pulp, bagasse pulp, etc.) increasing from 45% to 60%, targeted innovations in equipment are driven forward. Specialized beating equipment and multi-stage filtration and impurity removal modules have achieved a pulp purity of over 99.5%, meeting the demands of high-end packaging, medical, and electronic sectors. The dry pressing process is accelerating its popularization (target penetration rate of 65% by 2030). New-generation equipment, adopting precise temperature and pressure control technology, reduces product thickness tolerance to ±0.1mm, lowering costs by 18% compared with traditional wet pressing equipment.
- Accelerated Popularization of Intelligence: Digital technology has fully penetrated the entire production process. Sensors and AI algorithms have increased product qualification rates from 92% to over 98%; the "small-batch quick-response" system supports the rapid delivery of orders below 1,000 units, shortening lead times to 2-3 days; the equipment cloud platform enables remote monitoring and fault diagnosis, reducing downtime by 30% and operational and maintenance costs by 25%. A typical example is the overseas remote service module of Jinwei Machinery's HJ-N425 equipment.
- Green Low-Carbon as Core Competitiveness: Infrared/microwave drying modules have become standard configurations, cutting energy consumption by 30%; technologies such as "photovoltaic + energy storage" and "waste heat recovery" have been implemented, with renewable energy accounting for 40%; equipment recycling rates have risen to 85%, complying with EU environmental directives and facilitating overseas market expansion.
II. Rising Concentration: Capital Integration Reshapes Industry Pattern
- Horizontal Mergers and Acquisitions for Expansion: Leading enterprises supplement technology and production capacity through mergers and acquisitions. In 2025, the number of industry M&A cases increased by 45% year-on-year, with CR5 (market share of the top 5 enterprises) rising from 35% to 58%. Resources are concentrating in enterprises with technological and capital advantages.
- Vertical Integration to Extend Value: Equipment enterprises are transforming into integrated solution providers of "equipment + raw materials + services". For instance, Fuling Co., Ltd.'s Indonesian base realizes the synergy of "independent equipment + local raw materials + finished product production"; some enterprises conduct joint R&D with pulp suppliers to form an industrial chain closed loop.
- Accelerated Overseas Layout: Global production capacity is shifting to Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions. Enterprises establish overseas factories (e.g., Vietnamese assembly plants) and seek overseas financing to avoid trade barriers, seize the dividends of low-cost markets, and support sustained export growth.
III. Differentiated Survival Strategies for Enterprises
- Leading Enterprises: Focus on technological leadership and global layout, maintain R&D investment ratio at 8-10%, and tackle core technologies such as dry pressing processes and intelligent equipment.
- SMEs: Deepen niche scenarios (new energy vehicle, medical packaging equipment) or characteristic services (equipment renovation, localized operation and maintenance) to achieve differentiated competition.
- Startups: Rely on breakthroughs in single-point technologies such as AI control modules and energy-saving technologies to become supporting suppliers in the industrial chain of leading enterprises.
Conclusion
In 2025, the pulp molding equipment industry is shifting from extensive growth to refined competition, with technology integration and capital integration as core driving forces. Enterprises must keep up with trends and position themselves accurately to seize the dividends of industry transformation and achieve sustainable development.
