January 17, 2026 Comprehensive Report In recent years, China's full-automatic glue binding machine industry has maintained a sustained high-speed growth momentum in export trade, driven by technological iteration and global layout. The latest data from the General Administration of Customs shows that in 2024, the total export volume of China's electric perfect binding machines reached 856,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 18.3%, with export value exceeding 420 million US dollars and trade surplus expanding to 240 million US dollars. Domestic equipment has continuously enhanced its competitiveness in the global market, gradually transforming from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China".​
As core equipment for post-press processing, the export growth of full-automatic glue binding machines benefits from the triple drivers of global printing and publishing industry's automation upgrade, office digital transformation and green production demand. Data from China Printing and Equipment Industry Association indicates that the international market share of China's electric perfect binding machines has risen from 15.8% in 2021 to 22.3% in 2023, making China the world's second-largest supplier and an important equipment provider in the overseas market.​
In terms of export market distribution, Europe, North America and Southeast Asia form the core destination matrix. Europe accounts for 35% of the export share, where Germany, the United Kingdom and France, with their developed printing and packaging industries, have strong demand for high-end intelligent glue binding equipment. North America accounts for 28%, with US imports growing at an annual rate of 12%, significantly driven by the needs of the publishing industry and office automation. Southeast Asia accounts for 20%, where Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and other countries have become the fastest-growing regional markets by virtue of the dividends of manufacturing transfer. Meanwhile, under the deepening promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative, markets in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America are being gradually developed, becoming new growth engines for foreign trade.​
Technological upgrading is the core key for domestic glue binding machines to enter the global market. Among current export products, mid-to-high-end models equipped with automatic control, IoT remote monitoring and AI visual inspection functions account for over 60%, an increase of 25 percentage points compared with three years ago. Leading domestic enterprises such as Shenzhen Keyihua and Zhejiang Haoda Machinery have increased R&D investment to launch customized products with modular design and environmentally friendly material adaptation, accurately meeting the special needs of different overseas customers. Among them, Shenzhen Keyihua accounted for 15% of the national total export volume in 2024, and its independently developed intelligent glue volume control system can reduce energy consumption by 30%, which is highly favored by European green printing enterprises.​
Policy support and standard alignment provide strong guarantees for foreign trade development. China has formulated and issued the national standard GB/T 39217-2023 with reference to the international standard ISO 126435:2020, achieving full alignment with international safety standards and greatly reducing export technical barriers. At the same time, electric perfect binding machines enjoy a 13% export tax rebate policy. The Ministry of Commerce has included them in the "China Equipment Manufacturing Overseas Promotion Plan", setting up special exhibition areas at international exhibitions such as Drupa (Germany) and Printing United Expo (USA) to help enterprises expand overseas channels.​
Facing changes in the global trade pattern, domestic enterprises are accelerating their global layout. Drawing on the successful experience of the photovoltaic industry in building overseas factories, some leading enterprises plan to establish assembly bases in Southeast Asia to get closer to downstream customers and reduce logistics costs and tariff impacts. In terms of intellectual property protection, enterprises have established international patent layout and risk early warning mechanisms to avoid legal risks in overseas markets. In 2024, the whole industry applied for more than 100 new foreign patents, focusing on core markets such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.​
Industry experts predict that the average annual growth rate of China's full-automatic glue binding machine exports will remain at around 15% in the next five years, and the export share is expected to rise from the current 25% to 35%. With the continuous iteration of intelligent technology and the improvement of green manufacturing systems, domestic glue binding machines will further break the monopoly of international brands in the high-end market and occupy a more core position in the global printing equipment supply chain.
