Challenges and Opportunities in Machinery Industry

Current Situation

Manufacturers produce both industrial machinery and parts in Hong Kong. Initial development of the industry was prompted by a rise in local demand. Industrialization in the Mainland China since the early 1980s has provided an added boost to Hong Kong's machinery industry.

Hong Kong-made machines are price and quality competitive. Prices are lower than those of Japan and Europe. Hong Kong manufacturers are able to handle small batch and large variety of designs at shorter delivery lead-time. They also have an edge in providing prompt after-sales services, especially for those machines installed in China.

In order to compete with global competitors, such as Taiwan in the medium-level market as well as with Mainland China target the lower-end market, Hong Kong manufacturers are increasingly facing challenges between pricing and market segments.
