Stamping Press: Jier dominates this market
Die casting/gigapress: several players like
Haitian, Lijin, yizumi working on 10000 ton gigapresses.
Robots: numerous domestic players rapidly gaining market share in painting, welding and AGV
Machining centers: more complicated landscape. German and Japanese machine tools dominate ICE factories, especially grinding/milling machines for molds, engine parts and gears in gearboxes, but EVs give domestic machine tool makers new opportunities. Chinese players also doing well in new niche tools like laser cutting and 3D printers and doing not so well in old niche areas like EDM
Key components: sensors like interferometers, encoders and gratings are unexpectedly doing well thanks to advances in domestic semiconductor industry. Domestic servo motor/drives and reduction gears (both RV and harmonic type) for industrial robots now occupy over 50% market share, a rapid improvement from a few years ago. However, domestic key components for machine tools still lag far behind. Spindles, milling heads, ultra precise bearings have been indigenized only recently.
