Continue to promote green and intelligent manufacturing: industry outlook from 2025 to 2034

introduction

As the global awareness of environmental protection increases, the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry has become a hot topic. How to reduce the impact on the environment while ensuring production and economic benefits has become a key issue that many companies are trying to solve. This article will explore the development trends and specific practices of sustainable manufacturing based on the latest industry trends.

Intelligent Manufacturing and Sustainable Manufacturing

Smart manufacturing as a driver of sustainable manufacturing

According to information recently released by Siemens, smart manufacturing can not only improve production efficiency and reduce costs, but also effectively promote environmentally sustainable development. Smart manufacturing plays an important role in environmental governance by optimizing production processes, improving resource usage efficiency, and reducing waste emissions. Siemens pointed out: "Smart manufacturing is sustainable manufacturing." The promotion of this concept is particularly important for manufacturing companies that are in a critical period of transformation and upgrading.

Corporate sustainable manufacturing practices

Dongshan Precision’s ESG report

The 2025 Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) Report (English version) released by Dongshan Precision (002384) details a series of measures taken by the company to promote sustainable manufacturing. The report mentioned that Dongshan Precision has significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced pollutant emissions by introducing advanced production equipment and technology. These measures not only help the company achieve its goals of energy conservation and emission reduction, but also lay the foundation for establishing an environmentally friendly corporate image.

Zijiang Enterprise’s Sustainable Development Report

Zijiang Enterprise (600210) also shared the company's efforts and results in sustainable manufacturing in its 2025 sustainability report. The report emphasizes the core role of technological innovation in achieving green development goals. Zijiang enterprises explore new production methods through continuous technological upgrading and innovation, such as using more environmentally friendly materials and technologies, to reduce environmental pollution and improve resource utilization.

Market trend analysis

From a more macro perspective, the combination of intelligent manufacturing and sustainable manufacturing is leading a new generation of industrial revolution. Especially in the packaging industry, as consumers' awareness of environmental protection increases, the market demand for sustainable packaging has risen sharply. Futu Niuniu reports predict that by 2034, the digital printing film market will reach 23.6 billion yuan, of which sustainable packaging, intelligent customization and high-resolution printing will become the main factors driving the rapid growth of the market.

This trend is not only a change in the packaging industry, but also a microcosm of the development of the entire manufacturing industry in a more environmentally friendly, efficient, and intelligent direction. By adopting digital and intelligent technologies, the manufacturing industry can not only meet the market's growing quality requirements for products, but also achieve the goal of environmentally friendly development in the process.

Conclusion

Taken together, with the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, the manufacturing industry is gradually transforming into a more sustainable direction. The practice of enterprises such as Dongshan Precision and Zijiang Enterprise has proven that technological innovation can achieve a win-win situation of economic benefits and environmental protection. In the future, it is expected that more companies will join the ranks of promoting sustainable manufacturing and jointly contribute to building a green earth.
