en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 40th Anniversary Conference of China's Forging Industry Development and the China Forging Industry Association was held in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province in June 2026. Ye Dingda, Vice President of the China Machinery Industry Federation, attended and addressed the conference. Ye noted that after four decades of development, China's forging industry has formed a complete, synergistic structure integrating forging, stamping, and sheet metal fabrication, establishing the world's most comprehensive and largest forging industrial system, with annual output ranking first globally.
Founded in 1986, the China Forging Industry Association is a national industry organization covering forging, stamping, sheet metal fabrication, and related equipment manufacturers. According to association data, the total annual output value of China's forging industry has exceeded one trillion yuan, with over 5,000 enterprises above designated size and approximately 2 million employees. Products are widely used in automotive, aerospace, rail transit, energy equipment, military, and engineering machinery sectors. Automotive forgings represent the largest application market, accounting for over 60% of total forging output.
In his speech, Ye Dingda stated that over the past 40 years, China's forging industry has evolved from a weak foundation into the world's largest forging manufacturing base, achieving leapfrog improvements in equipment levels, process technology, and product quality. He proposed four recommendations for future development: first, adhere to innovation-driven growth to overcome key core technologies and high-end equipment bottlenecks; second, accelerate digital and intelligent empowerment to promote smart manufacturing and digital transformation; third, pursue green and low-carbon practices to develop a circular economy and clean production; fourth, promote the spirit of craftsmanship to cultivate a highly skilled talent pool.
Ye Dingda expressed that the China Machinery Industry Federation is willing to work closely with the China Forging Industry Association to jointly promote high-quality development of the forging industry and contribute greater strength to building a manufacturing powerhouse. Relevant comrades from the Member Work Department of the China Machinery Industry Federation participated in the event.
The convening of this conference marks a new development stage for China's forging industry after 40 years of rapid growth. Facing the reshaping of the global manufacturing landscape and the "dual carbon" goals, China's forging industry is accelerating its transformation and upgrade toward high-end, intelligent, and green development.
