In the first three quarters of 2025, some listed enterprises in the printing machinery industry, especially those with in-depth layouts in high-end precision manufacturing fields such as electronic assembly, have shown a very strong growth momentum driven by robust downstream demand.
Performance Highlights of Profitable Enterprises in the First Three Quarters of 2025
During the reporting period, a number of enterprises achieved significant performance growth by virtue of their technological advantages and market insights:Kegger Precision Machinery was one of the most outstanding enterprises in this period, with rapid growth and high profit quality. In the first three quarters, its revenue increased by more than 34% year-on-year, and its net profit attributable to shareholders surged by over 175% year-on-year. More notably, the company’s quarterly revenue and profit both hit record highs in the third quarter. The performance growth was mainly driven by its core product—solder paste printing equipment. The revenue of this business increased significantly due to the rising demand for SMT (Surface Mount Technology) equipment brought by the recovery of AI servers, new energy vehicles, and consumer electronics. In addition, the company’s comprehensive gross profit margin rose to over 42%, its cash flow situation improved significantly, and its contract liabilities reached a historical high, indicating solid support for future performance.
Furthermore, Xianggang Technology’s net profit in the first three quarters increased by more than 186% year-on-year, while Dongfang Seiko’s net profit attributable to shareholders during the same period grew by over 54%. This shows that downstream market demand has played a positive driving role in related enterprises.
New Developments in the Printing Machinery Field in 2025
In the first three quarters of 2025, the overall development of the printing machinery industry has shown a clear path of automation, intelligence, and greenization. Beyond the impressive financial data, the industry has also achieved diversified improvements in technological and product innovation:
Deep Integration of Automation and Intelligence
Automation technology has become the key to enhancing equipment performance. For example, automatic plate-changing systems can greatly reduce the time required for traditional manual plate changing; automatic registration systems ensure the registration accuracy of printed products with the help of high-precision sensors; robotic small product tray loading systems realize automatic sorting and tray loading of small printed parts such as microelectronic components or mini-packaging labels, cutting manual handling time by over 60% and improving loading consistency to avoid damage caused by human error; and automatic inspection systems can monitor production abnormalities in real time, effectively improving product quality. In the future, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology with equipment to realize autonomous optimization of production processes and predictive maintenance will become the main development direction.
Continuous Expansion and Application of Digital Printing Technology
Due to its flexibility and high efficiency, digital printing technology is rapidly expanding its application fields from traditional textile printing to book and periodical printing, packaging, and other areas. In addition, digital micro-spraying equipment developed for high-end, small-batch, and multi-variety fabrics has also seen a significant increase in orders, thanks to its green features that address the problems of high pollution and high energy consumption in traditional processes.
Breakthroughs in Green and Environmental Protection Technologies
Green printing is also an important direction in the industry’s evolution. For instance, Dingyi Technology has successfully developed thermal transfer technology with independent intellectual property rights. The emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in its production process is close to zero, and it saves 50% more energy than traditional processes, realizing the localization of the entire industrial chain from dyes and carbon tapes to complete sets of equipment.
Accelerated Localization of High-End Equipment
Domestic enterprises continue to make efforts in the high-end market and are committed to import substitution. For example, Beiren Intelligence launched a number of high-end web-fed offset printing machines in 2025, demonstrating the capabilities of domestic high-end printing equipment in technological breakthroughs and scenario-based applications, and injecting a shot in the arm into the independent development process of the printing industry.
Conclusion
Overall, the printing machinery industry in 2025 is full of vitality, and industry technology is steadily moving towards automation, digitalization, and greenization. These are not only the current development hotspots but also will be the key factors determining enterprises’ future market competitiveness!
