China's Injection Molding Industry 2026: Market Size and Competitive Landscape
A systematic analysis of the market size, value chain, and competitive landscape of China's injection molding industry in 2026: a highly concentrated machine segment (Haitian leads at home with 30%+ share, first worldwide) versus an extremely fragmented midstream of roughly 5 million molders. Chinese machines have moved from import substitution to export leadership, yet all-electric, precision, and large-tonnage high-end still belong to Japan and Germany.
Sodium-Ion Battery 2026: How China Built the Industry's Second Card Alone After Lithium Crashed
From 2024 to 2025, foreign sodium-ion pioneers (UK's Faradion acquired by India, Sweden's Northvolt bankrupt, US's Natron shut down) collapsed almost entirely — while China's sodium-ion shipments grew from 0.7 GWh in 2023 to 3.7 GWh in 2024, then another 3.5 GWh in H1 2025, with energy storage taking 62%. This is a research-institute analysis on why the sodium-ion battery supply chain has consolidated to China and where it heads in 2026-2027.
The Lightest Metal Waited Eighty Years: Sichuan Laiweimet and the Industrial Inflection Point of High-Strength Wrought Magnesium Alloys
From Pidgeon's process in 1941 to China's rare earth export controls in 2025, magnesium alloy — the lightest engineering metal — has never become a mainstream structural lightweight material. Sichuan Laiweimet uses solidification-strengthening plus continuous production to produce B91C2, a high-strength wrought magnesium alloy with yield strength 340–400 MPa, free of heavy rare earth dependency and SF₆, pushing the global high-strength wrought magnesium alloy landscape to a new tipping point.
