Haitian International Holdings Limited, one of the world's largest manufacturers of plastic injection molding machines, has reported its financial results for 2025, confirming continued business growth. The company's revenue increased by 10.0% compared with the previous year, reaching RMB 17,733.2 million. Profit attributable to shareholders rose by 7.2% to RMB 3,301.1 million. This growth was achieved in a market environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty, changes in global supply chains and differentiated demand dynamics across regions and industries. At the same time, investment in advanced manufacturing, energy transition and digital technologies continued to generate demand for equipment in the plastics processing sector.
Under these conditions, demand for Haitian injection molding technology remained stable in international and domestic markets. The company recorded particularly strong dynamics in overseas sales, supported by capacity expansion in many countries and investment by industrial customers, especially in Southeast Asia and South America. In the Chinese market, sales remained stable, with varied conditions depending on the end-use segment. Results were positively influenced by investment in the new energy vehicle sector and 3C electronics, while part of the consumer goods segment experienced weaker demand compared with the previous year.
Development of overseas and domestic markets
In 2025, global manufacturing conditions were shaped by geopolitical factors, structural adjustments in supply chains and regional differences in demand for industrial equipment. Despite these challenges, Haitian maintained stable demand for its injection molding machines in international markets.
Overseas sales reached RMB 7,601.5 million, an increase of 26.4% compared with the previous year. This development was supported by the expansion of global manufacturing capacity and overseas investments by industrial customers. Projects in Southeast Asia and South America were particularly important, where the plastics processing base and demand for modern production lines are growing.
Domestic sales remained stable at RMB 10,131.7 million, reflecting a mixed picture of demand in various sectors of the economy. The new energy vehicle segment and 3C electronics showed strong investment activity, generating demand for injection solutions with high precision and repeatability. At the same time, part of the consumer goods segment recorded weaker orders compared with the previous year, which translated into more moderate growth in the domestic market.
Injection molding portfolio versus structure of industry demand
All main machine platforms of Haitian recorded sales growth in 2025. The two-platen Jupiter series achieved particularly strong growth, supported by continued investment in the automotive supply chain and the expansion of new energy vehicle production. Large clamping units and optimized two-platen design support applications in the production of large parts with complex geometry, typical for automotive and technical parts segments.
The Zhafir all-electric series benefited from a recovery in the electronics sector, including applications requiring high process accuracy and short cycle times. The Mars series, Haitian's servo-hydraulic platform, maintained stable demand. Its performance was influenced among others by the international expansion of Chinese manufacturing companies, which are introducing established injection molding technologies into new markets.
In total, sales of plastic injection molding machines increased by 9.7% year on year, reaching RMB 16,897.3 million. These figures confirm that the company's broad technological portfolio enables it to respond to diverse application requirements in the plastics processing industry, from automotive components and electronic parts to the consumer goods segment.
Strategy: internationalization and technological development
In the coming years, Haitian International plans to continue a strategy that combines a strong position in the domestic market with further international expansion. This model is intended to provide greater flexibility in responding to regional requirements in machine design, production organization and after-sales support.
"Global markets remain dynamic, but demand for efficient and reliable production technologies continues to grow," said Zhang Bin, executive director and CEO of Haitian International. "Our strategy is to combine a strong domestic market presence with further international expansion. By increasing localized manufacturing and strengthening our global service network, we aim to support customers worldwide more effectively."
Technological development remains a key element of the company's strategy. Haitian focuses on developing energy-efficient, intelligent and application-oriented injection molding machines tailored to the specific requirements of different plastics processing sectors. This includes both optimization of energy consumption and the development of functions supporting process stability and quality control of molded parts.
In addition to technology development, the company places strong emphasis on long-term cooperation with customers from various industrial sectors. Joint projects with key accounts and industry partners are aimed at developing solutions tailored to specific applications while improving production efficiency, process stability and the quality of final products.
Outlook for injection molding machines and plastics processing
Despite ongoing uncertainty in the global economy, the company expects that in the long term demand for efficient manufacturing technologies in the plastics processing industry will continue to grow. Solutions that enable optimization of energy costs, a higher degree of automation and improved production repeatability will be of key importance.
"Customer requirements are becoming increasingly application-specific and technologically demanding. Our focus is therefore on combining technological innovation with close customer collaboration while continuing to expand our global presence. This approach enables us to support plastics processors worldwide in achieving efficient and reliable production," added Zhang Bin.
The combination of an extensive sales and service network, a diversified injection molding portfolio and an active presence in overseas markets is intended to enable Haitian to further strengthen its competitive position. Along with continued investment projects in the automotive, electronics and consumer goods sectors, the company expects sustained long-term demand for its solutions for plastics processing.
