According to China Customs statistics, China's printing equipment (including screen printing, digital printing, offset printing machines, etc.) exports to the United States will be about 1.2 billion US dollars in 2023, accounting for 15%~18% of China's global exports of printing equipment. Among them: - Screen printing machines account for about 15% (about $180 million). - Digital printing equipment grew rapidly (e.g., UV flatbed printers), driven by demand from the U.S. packaging and advertising industries.

 In 2024, China's printing equipment exports to the United States will be in the range of 1.1 billion ~ 1.3 billion US dollars, digital printing and high-end screen printing equipment are still the main growth points, while traditional models are under pressure. In 2025, printing equipment manufacturers will face the game of new tariff policy and alternative supply chains. Exports to USA will be suppressed in the short term. 

Relocation of production capacity, overseas construction of factories Diversification of the market ；

Shift to emerging markets: expand exports to ASEAN (such as Vietnam, Thailand clothing printing demand), the Middle East (advertising logo market), and Latin America. 

Domestic substitution opportunities: China's photovoltaic, electronic products and other industries for the growth of demand for screen printing equipment (such as photovoltaic electrode printing);

Technology upgrading, the development of high value-added products, entrepot trade, etc. may become the future development plan that enterprises of screen printer need to consider.
