My country has achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1 in the design and manufacturing of sheet metal technology, and has occupied a certain share in the low-end and mid-end markets, and has obtained a certain share of technology in the recent joint research and development of domestic and foreign institutions. During the period of 2015-2024, the number of sheet metal processing patents in my country totaled 3,973, of which 708 were in 2023. The sheet metal processing industry is of certain importance to the improvement of domestic high-speed rail, automobile and shipbuilding, communication electronics and other industries. The development of the sheet metal market not only brings convenience to production and daily life, but also brings good economic benefits to enterprises. With the gradual rise of these industries in China, the rapid development of the sheet metal processing industry has also been driven. In 2023, the market size of China’s sheet metal processing industry will be around 36.505 billion yuan, and the market size will be about 37.7 billion yuan in 2024.
