Zhimu Technology | The 'Industrial Actuary' who Forge Ahead

Various technologies are widely used in the production process of precision metal components, including the application of computing technology in mold design and development, the application of high-speed and high-precision machining technology in mold manufacturing and structural component forming, and the application of materials science and nanotechnology in surface treatment of structural components. With the widespread application of new technologies and processes, precision metal components are gradually developing towards greater precision, complexity, and economic speed, with increasing technological content. The continuous improvement of technological level has made the position of precision metal components increasingly important in the downstream application product manufacturing process, and the application fields are constantly expanding.

1. Automated production is gradually replacing manual manufacturing

At present, the manufacturing process of precision metal components in downstream application products is mainly concentrated in the Asia Pacific region. However, with the gradual increase in labor costs in Asia Pacific countries led by China in recent years, the demand for production equipment automation from manufacturing and processing manufacturers is also increasing. The application of automation equipment is beneficial for manufacturing and processing manufacturers to reduce labor costs and the demand for professional skills, while also improving product accuracy and stability, and enhancing production efficiency. With the continuous expansion of the downstream field of precision electronic components worldwide, the shortening of product update iteration cycles, and the gradual development of electronic equipment products towards miniaturization, intelligence, and efficiency, precision metal component manufacturers face significant challenges in terms of product accuracy and output. Traditional manual or semi-automatic manufacturing models are difficult to meet the needs of enterprise development. Therefore, with the gradual maturity of related technologies, precision metal component manufacturers will gradually develop their production equipment towards automation and intelligence in the future.

2. Industry concentration continues to increase

Due to the relatively simple structure and production process of mid to low end precision metal components, the industry threshold is low, and usually only simple stamping equipment and molds are needed to complete production, resulting in a large number of mid to low end precision metal component processing manufacturers in the industry, serious product homogenization, and significant differentiation between the mid to low end product market and the high-end product market.

High end processing manufacturers in the industry are mainly concentrated in regions such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, which include major downstream large brand merchants in the industry. Due to difficulties in entering the downstream large brand industry chain, domestic precision metal component processing manufacturers have fewer high-end product manufacturers. The increase in the number of manufacturers of mid to low end products and the gradual deterioration of product homogenization have increased the competitive pressure within the industry. Enterprises with low specialization, small scale, outdated equipment, and slow technological development in the industry will face greater elimination risks. At the same time, the fierce market competition environment is conducive to the development of production enterprises in technology research and development as well as production scale, promoting the continuous improvement of industry concentration.

3. Downstream application areas will become more extensive

Precision metal components are mainly used in various industries such as consumer electronics, automobiles, and medical devices, with a wide range of downstream fields. Among them, in recent years, with the development of new technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, as well as the increasingly fierce market competition environment, consumer electronics manufacturers have continuously launched new products, and emerging consumer products have emerged one after another, constantly opening up new markets for the precision metal parts industry. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of consumers' requirements for electronic device operating efficiency, capacity, energy consumption, volume, etc., the use of precision electronic components is also increasing. On the other hand, with the development and progress of related manufacturing industries, precision electronic components will gradually be applied to emerging fields such as the drone market, intelligent equipment market, AR/VR market, and intelligent industrial market.
