jewelry processing industry is currently experiencing a surge in raw material prices, technological innovation, and demand upgrading. The consumer market is shifting towards "refined adaptation". In 2024, the scale of China's jewelry and jade industry slightly decreased by 5.02% year-on-year, but the scale of 778.8 billion yuan still ranks second in history, showing the characteristics of "steady progress in total volume and accelerated structural adjustment". The market is changing, and the penetration of intelligent technology and the demand for personalization and customization are exploding. So, how can we better win the initiative in this new industry transformation? As a craftsmanship factory in the jewelry casting industry for more than 20 years, today Yihui will work with everyone to sort out the new market link and explore the core competitiveness boundaries of the market.

Empowering diverse scenarios

Digitization reshapes craftsmanship, personality defines value

jewelry processing industry in 2025 is undergoing an unprecedented paradigm shift: behind the global market size breaking through 380 billion US dollars, "intelligence" and "personalization" are no longer parallel trends, but deeply intertwined industrial revolutions. The precision casting practice of Yihui Casting for more than 20 years is a vivid footnote to this revolution - using technology to solve efficiency problems and using services to connect emotional needs.

intelligentization

From device upgrade to full chain collaboration

Industry intelligence has entered a new stage of "digital ecosystem construction" from the innovation of single point devices. Data shows that by 2025, the penetration rate of 3D printing technology in the jewelry processing field will increase to 27%. AI design systems will achieve algorithm generation for 90% of basic styles, and casting, as the core link, will directly determine the level of industrial upgrading through technological breakthroughs.

Representative independently developed road tools by Yihui Casting: D3 intelligent vacuum die-casting machine and 20KG automated bead scattering machine production line. In cooperation with a leading brand in Shenzhen, we undertook the complex design of Chow Tai Fook's "Tour" AI model, and the equipment achieved a precision of ± 0.02mm and a 99.8% yield rate to bring creativity to fruition. Its full chain collaboration capability is excellent: Hanhui graphite customized molds form a consumable loop with Japanese A-1 platinum gypsum powder, combined with Ruihui automation digital platform, achieving seamless connection from design to finished products, shortening production cycle by 40%, and reducing labor cost to below 15%, far exceeding the industry average.

personalization

From consumer demand to industrial logic

Z era (also known as the Internet era, the Internet era, the anime era, etc., usually referring to the generation born between 1995 and 2009) is completely rewriting the rules of the industry: 73% of the world's Z generation is willing to pay a premium for customized jewelry, women aged 24 to 30 years in the Chinese market become the main consumer, and the search volume of "jewelry customization" in red books has soared by 240% year on year. This demand upgrade has forced the industry to shift from "large-scale production" to "flexible creation".

Yihui cooperation case explains the logic of personalized landing: cooperate with China-Chic brand in Guangzhou, use precision wax loss casting and flexible production scheduling to reduce the delivery period of customized jewelry from 30 days to 12 days, and the scrap rate of 800 orders in a single batch is 0.2%, which is better than the industry average. There is also the practice of revitalizing intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship: customizing a "intangible cultural heritage silk replication production line" for Yiwu enterprises, achieving large-scale customization through intelligent melting and customized crucibles, with annual sales exceeding 500000 pieces, confirming the value-added path of "culture+technology", and turning jewelry into a "social currency".

Trend Fusion

Development Implications and Future Directions in the Casting Field

The integration of intelligence and personalization has given rise to a new ecosystem of "flexible intelligent manufacturing". By 2026, the AI penetration rate in Shenzhen's jewelry industry is expected to reach 45%. Yihui will lay out ahead of schedule, and its six branch service networks will provide full process support from design to casting, adapting to the demand for new materials such as cultivated diamonds with an annual growth rate of 21% to replace traditional precious metals.

For the industry, Yihui's practice has three major inspirations: equipment autonomy is the foundation of intelligence, which can break the dependence on imports and reduce iteration risks; The full chain capability of consumables, equipment, and services is the core barrier to meet individual needs; The integration of culture and technology is the key to the implementation of the trend. McKinsey predicts that the average annual growth rate of "intelligent manufacturing+customized services" dual engine enterprises may reach 23%, and Yihui will lead the industry transformation with "professionalism, dedication, cooperation, and win-win".

When AI holds the carving knife and demand defines craftsmanship, the jewelry processing industry in 2025 is no longer driven solely by technology and market, but by a new chapter of "digital intelligence and craftsmanship" written by companies like Yihui with every process innovation and customized delivery.

When intelligence connects the industrial network and personalization ignites consumer demand, Yihui has proven through practice that industry trends are not just distant waves, but every breakthrough under our feet. The future is here, and using ingenuity to embark on new journeys is the best answer for Yihui to grow together with the industry.

Yihui Casting Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2003. After more than 20 years of accumulation, Yihui has now developed into a national high-tech enterprise that integrates research and development, production, sales, consulting, installation, and training of lost wax casting equipment, and provides one-stop solutions for metal casting. Yihui Casting Technology products include metal casting equipment, casting wax, graphite products, quartz products, etc., which are exported to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, America and other regions. The company has its own R&D team, which independently develops and produces automated vacuum die-casting machines, G20 vacuum bead scattering machines, and intelligent system D3 vacuum pressure casting machines, breaking the industry's long-standing dependence on imported high-performance jewelry equipment.
