As of june this year, data have come out, most striking of which is the increase of over 90 per cent in the volume of 3-dimensional printer deliveries over the same period last year, as well as the increase of about three or four times in the number of orders for battery batteries. This is not a cold figure that means that china’s manufacturing industry is accelerating the process of transformational upgrading, and that it is closely linked to our lives。
Then why do these two tracks turn upside down? How many chances are behind this
From an industry-wide perspective, our industry grew by 11. 3 per cent in the first half of the year, and by 9. 25 per cent in the equipment manufacturing sector, which accounted for more than half of the value of industrial enterprises above scale. This ratio is also increasing in comparison to last year, and suggests that china’s manufacturing sector is shifting from its original low-value-added products to high-value density and high-technology content。
The two most prominent transformation cards are 3d printing and storage of lithium batteries at the consumer level。
In the field of 3d printing, so far, the production of 3d printers in the first half of the year has increased by 48. 5 per cent and is expected to reach about 3 million orders of magnitude and over 7. 8 billion yuan per year; the rate of growth is also rising. Even more striking, china's market share in the global consumer 3d printer market has reached one ninth. That means that nine of the 10 three-dimensional printers sold worldwide are made from china。
This involves the development of a mature electronics industry in areas such as shenzhen. The price of a 3d printer, which used to be around rmb hundreds of thousands, has now fallen below tens of thousands of yuan, and costs have been reduced by more than one tenth. And artificial intelligence one-key modelling has become widespread, and the way in which models can be designed on mobile phones is accepted and accepted. The 3d printing is no longer a simple manual toy, but is in the areas of house-wide customization and industrial precision processing。
In the case of a production line in shenzhen city, for example, a production line can produce a machine every day, and 20 production lines are running simultaneously but supply is not enough. The year-round order has been fully arranged, and more than 30 per cent of the growth in the last year is accelerating the expansion of production capacity. Such a situation could not have been imagined a few years ago。
After a 3d printout, another new hot field - the storage of lithium batteries - is to be seen。
Demand for energy batteries in the first half of the year was more than three times as high as in the same period last year, with significant results in the development of the national lithium electricity sector and an increase of over 80 percentage points. This growth rate can already be described as “zealous”。
This is mainly due to the expansion of the ai computing capacity industry worldwide. Large model training and data centres consume large amounts of power resources, and ms2 level storage backup becomes one of the basic requirements of the machine room. Moreover, the artificial intelligent room load has changed significantly, but storage can play a stabilizing role in the grid, so it is a fundamental part of the new computing infrastructure. “if there is no storage technology, then there is no way we can do anything.” that is to say, we can only operate with storage。
A reporter in a battery factory in whezhou reported that hundreds of millions of money had already been ordered and that more than 8,000 storage batteries had to be dispatched as soon as possible. An old employee with 15 years of experience also lamented: "never so much need!" this is not a single example, as is the case throughout the industry — we are all too busy. For the first time, the concept of “calculative + electricity” appeared in the report of the government on the work of the government and offered a long-term prospect of stable development of the energy industry by providing “calculations and electricity together”, “promising long-term stability for its development”。
The two tracks are characterized by new practices in new consumer-grade manufacturing, and by new demand for energy infrastructure. Both indicate that china's industrial structure is changing rapidly。
Over the past few years, our products have been largely marketed at low and low prices. The current 3d printing and large-scale development of energy storage batteries is due to technology, industrial chains and size. The move from shenzhen production line to the huizhou workshop was also marked by changes in the design of models, manual calculations, etc., using artificial intelligence。
Both areas will maintain high growth rates at a time when demand for artificial intelligence computing capacity is rising and green energy changes are occurring. It also promotes the upgrading of entire industrial chain-from materials to product applications and to all aspects of services. For ordinary people, this means new jobs, new investment directions and even new possibilities for life。
While the world is looking for new economic growth points, “china makes” offers the answer to two tracks, not simply scale-up, but quality enhancement based on technological innovation. "but this is only the beginning."
