Capacity Concentration in Automotive Component Manufacturing Drives Polarization in Industrial Extrusion Sector

According to a Shandong-based industrial extrusion producer, the manufacturing of automotive components has formed a trend of capacity concentration due to the high complexity of the process. There are relatively few extrusion enterprises nationwide with relevant technical capabilities, leading to a pronounced polarize pattern in the industrial extrusion sector: top-tier enterprises maintain a high operating rate of over 80%, while small and medium-sized producers generally face resistance from idle capacity.

Recently, some building material enterprises that had transitioned to industrial extrusion have shown signs of strategic retrenchment. Although these companies have refocused on the building materials sector, their business structures have undergone deep adjustments: gradually reducing the proportion of traditional civil construction extrusions and focusing on expanding large infrastructure projects and industrial parks to secure government-led orders and enhance operational stability.
