Universal plastics - Interempresas organized on 8 February the traditional annual meeting with the suppliers of injectors implanted in Spain for injection machines market study. The appointment was, again, in one of the halls of Fira de Barcelona, thanks to the collaboration of the Equiplast Hall, and the participants therein represented 99% of the sector. Market study provides data on the number of sold machines, their sizes, most common applications and geographical areas where you have installed, among other data. In general terms, 2010 was a year better than 2009, which can be interpreted as a sign that points to a change of trend, but still a far cry from the boom years.

Fira de Barcelona. Tuesday, February 8. Opponents in the stage of the sale of the injection moulding machines are approaching the Chamber Hall of the precinct ferial for, for a time, as every year, all together, look for common interests. The main objective is one: reliable market data to enable each one know its position in the market, as well as assess the data at the time of chart a strategy of selling. For more than 10 years, plastic universal - Interempresas acts as pooling and gathers all of them. Rivals, competitors, with its good and bad relations among themselves, many of them old known, all together to get data. Information is power.

The participants in the study account for 99% of the sector.

Indeed, the objective of the meeting is the study of market, but there is no doubt that the appointment at a single site of so many professionals involved in the same battle in the day to day, gives much more. There is talk of what happened in this or that operation, what is concerned, what is the industry and what Deluxe

The hardness of the crisis it is revealed in a quick reading of the data, but 2010, at least, was a year better than 2009. He climbed the number of injectors sold in Spain, while it is true that it is difficult to not leave quite lightly compared to 2009. In the last ten years, the sales curve has gone gradually down and does not seem easy to imagine a scenario similar to the year 2000, for example. In any case, plastics sector is one of the affected by the economic downturn, though it is shown that has their weapons to survive. In fact, it is doing. This is probably the cause of it breathes a greater optimism among providers of injectors.

Time for a coffee, waiting for the results.

According to the comments of the majority of the suppliers of injectors, the last edition of the K fair in Düsseldorf was an injection of optimism for many. As it already narrated plastics universal - Interempresas in his Chronicle of the fair, a more positive atmosphere that that is is breathing in Spain in recent years are breathed, and many were who sold machines there, taking advantage of the massive attendance of professionals to make good deals. Despite this, as it believed any of the suppliers, it will be the Equiplast exhibition in the month of November, which will show the real temperature of plastics in Spain sector.

Another of the major issues of concern to the sector, is the lack of funding, which is slowing down investment, while it is true that the uncertainty and the fear of what may happen in the short term are perhaps the true cause of the halt in investment in capital equipment. Judging by what many of the suppliers of injectors have responded in the survey conducted by the magazine, "the problem is not only a lack of funding, as you are has been singled out for some time." "The lack of confidence is perhaps the main engine of this lack of investment, the fear of the inyectador to decide to invest is massive given the current climate of economic uncertainty which doesn't permit a glimpse of what will happen in the medium term".

The figures of the study reveal that 2010 improved compared to the previous year.

For the future, the packaging and packaging and everything related to food, as well as the doctor and pharmacist are the sectors that are growing and will continue to do because they require new materials and technologies. However, the car remains the most important consumer of machines for the injection moulding.
