In the third quarter of 2025, China's alloy saw blade industry as a whole demonstrated a development trend characterized by "steady growth and structural optimization." Driven by the ongoing recovery of the manufacturing sector, the upgrading and replacement of high-end equipment, and favorable export policies, the industry's sales volume increased year-on-year. However, performance varied significantly across different sub-sectors, while regional markets also showed distinct characteristics.
1. Overall sales remained stable yet continued to rise, with the proportion of high-value-added products increasing.
This quarter, driven by the rebound in infrastructure investment and robust demand from industries such as metal processing and building materials/home furnishings, the alloy saw blade market maintained steady growth. Sales of mid-to-high-end products—led primarily by cemented carbide saw blades—showed significant expansion, particularly with rising demand for premium blades tailored for challenging materials like stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and composite materials. Many companies reported that high-performance, customized products continue to deliver increasingly higher profit margins, signaling a shift in the industry—from "price-based competition" toward "value-driven competition."
II. Export markets performed strongly, with the Belt and Road region emerging as a new growth driver.
With the recovery of overseas manufacturing and the growing recognition of Chinese brands, alloy saw blade exports experienced rapid growth in the third quarter, particularly driven by strong demand from countries and regions along the Belt and Road initiative, such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Some companies have leveraged cross-border e-commerce platforms and the development of overseas warehouses to achieve precise, small-batch, high-frequency supply, further solidifying their position in the global market.
3. The domestic market shows clear regional differentiation, with East China and South China maintaining their leading positions.
From a domestic regional perspective, traditional manufacturing hubs such as East China and South China continue to dominate the major market share, with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces leading the nation in sales volume. In contrast, the North China and Northeast regions have experienced more moderate demand growth due to ongoing industrial restructuring, while competition remains fierce for mid-to-low-end products. Meanwhile, Central China and the Chengdu-Chongqing region are witnessing rapidly accelerating shifts in manufacturing activities, unlocking significant market potential in the process.
IV. Corporate Strategy: Leading Brands Strengthen Their Service and Solution Capabilities
Facing market changes, leading companies such as Bajun and Hengrui are no longer limited to selling single products—they are gradually shifting toward providing "sawing solutions," which encompass comprehensive services like blade配套, technical support, and after-sales maintenance. Meanwhile, smaller and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly relying on flexible pricing strategies and region-specific channel relationships to stay afloat, as industry consolidation accelerates and boosts brand concentration.
V. Challenges and Prospects
The industry currently continues to face challenges such as volatile raw material prices—particularly for steel—and overcapacity in certain low-end products, compounded by relatively high international logistics costs. In the fourth quarter, as the country rolls out policies aimed at upgrading equipment and promoting low-carbon manufacturing, high-performance, energy-efficient alloy saw blades are poised to usher in a new wave of growth. Companies should further strengthen their R&D efforts, optimize product portfolios, and actively explore emerging markets and innovative application scenarios to navigate an increasingly complex competitive landscape.
