Aug 14, 2023
"Industrial sewing machines are the main equipment for production and processing in industries such as clothing, luggage, and footwear, including lockstitch machines, overlock machines, coverstitch machines, specialized machines, and roller feed machines. Industrial sewing machines are an important part of China's light industry, with both labor-intensive and technology-intensive characteristics."
I. Overview and Industry Chain Diagram Description
Industrial sewing machines are the main equipment for production and processing in industries such as clothing, luggage, and footwear, including lockstitch machines, overlock machines, coverstitch machines, specialized machines, and roller feed machines. Industrial sewing machines are an important part of China's light industry, with both labor-intensive and technology-intensive characteristics.
| Product Classification | Description |
|
Pre-sewing equipment
|
Pre-sewing mechanical equipment mainly includes cutting machines, spreading machines, fabric inspection machines, pre-shrinking machines, etc., which are used for processing tasks such as cutting fabric and spreading products to be sewn. These devices are applied in the pre-sewing process of sewing machine production. |
|
Sewing equipment
|
Sewing equipment for the middle process mainly includes lockstitch machines, overlock machines, coverstitch machines, sergers, buttonhole machines, etc. Additionally, based on their application scenarios, they can be categorized into industrial sewing machines, household sewing machines, and multifunctional sewing machines.
|
|
Post-sewing equipment
|
After the sewing process is completed using the middle process equipment, the sewn materials still need to undergo post-sewing operations before being shipped. These operations involve using equipment such as pressing machines, packaging machines, fusing machines, thread sucking machines, and needle detectors to process the products before they leave the factory.

II. Upstream Market Analysis
◆Pig Iron
Pig iron is an important upstream raw material for its hardness, wear resistance, and good castability. In the past two years, due to the impact of the pandemic, stricter environmental policies, and structural adjustments in the steel industry, China's pig iron production has decreased. According to data, China's pig iron production was 868.568 million tons in 2021, a year-on-year decrease of 2.1%. As of October 2022, the production reached 726.89 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 1.2%.
◆Servo Motors
From 2017 to 2020, due to the rapid development of downstream industries such as industrial robots and electronic manufacturing equipment, China's servo motor industry has continuously expanded its application areas and maintained a growing trend in market size. According to data, the market size of China's servo motor industry reached 14.2 billion yuan in 2019, a year-on-year growth of 6.77%. The market size is expected to increase to 18.1 billion yuan in 2022.
III. Middle Market Analysis
From 2015 to 2021, the overall production of China's industrial sewing machine industry showed an upward trend, but the fluctuation in demand was significant. According to data, in 2021, China's industrial sewing machine production was approximately 10 million units, with 9.33 million units produced by major manufacturers, accounting for 93.3% of the total; the demand for industrial sewing machines was 5.281 million units, a year-on-year increase of 79.99%. In terms of market size, in recent years, due to the strong development of the domestic textile industry, the industrial sewing machine industry has seen healthy growth and an expanding market size. According to data, in 2021, China's industrial sewing machine industry had a market size of 16.619 billion yuan, an increase of 6.123 billion yuan compared to the previous year, and a year-on-year growth of 171.42%.
IV. Downstream Market Analysis
The main application area of industrial sewing machines is the textile and clothing sector, and the development status of this market has a significant impact on the demand for industrial sewing machines. According to data, the market size of China's textile and clothing industry decreased from 2.36 trillion yuan in 2016 to 1.5832 trillion yuan in 2019, and then increased to 1.6918 trillion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year growth of 6.86%.
