Looking at future development from the trend of domestic machine tools

Since the fall into the machine tool industry began to show signs of recovery, the machine tool industry will also enter a new stage of development. In the first half of the year, China's machine tool industry achieved a sales value of 267.3 billion yuan, an increase of 41.7% year-on-year. However, from the mid-year report of the listed company of machine tool companies, although many companies have revenue growth, most profit margins show a downward trend. In July and August, the order quantity of our machine tools was only a quarter of March and April. Machine tool is the main force of equipment manufacturing industry. Due to the time lag of statistical data, data analysis can not effectively reflect the fall of production and sales growth. Therefore, many machine tool industry insiders believe that the first half of the machine tool industry production is actually the end of the year or the beginning of the year's orders, concerns about the real impact of the growth of the machine tool industry will be the second half.

Due to the rise of raw material prices, the appreciation of the renminbi, the obstruction of exports, the increase in manpower costs of some factories in the south, and other factors, the demand for machine tools has been reduced. This is due to the economic environment and cannot be changed by enterprises. What we can do is to adjust the industrial structure and optimize the product structure according to market demand and changes. From this we can see that the macroeconomic environment has brought a tremendous impact on the machine tool manufacturing industry.

Of course, in the face of the difficulties and challenges faced by the machine tool companies, we should also see our own achievements. The Chinese machine tool industry has maintained a rapid upward trend in the past eight years after entering the 21st century. The domestic market share of domestic machine tools has grown from 2,000. Less than 40% of the year, up to 61% in 2008. The development of CNC machine tools was particularly noticeable. The annual output of CNC metal cutting machine tools increased from 14,000 units in 2000 to 122,000 units in 2008. The total industry output value increased from 53.9 billion yuan in 2000 to 347.2 billion yuan in 2008, with an average annual growth rate of more than 26%. In 2008, the total consumption of machine tools in China was 19.44 billion U.S. dollars. China has become the world's third largest machine tool producer in the world for 4 consecutive years in terms of production scale and value of production. For the seventh consecutive year, it has become the world’s largest machine tool importer and the world’s largest consumer of machine tools. Now, how can China's machine tool industry keep this momentum of development and preserve it? This is a question worth exploring and thinking about.

The development path of the machine tool industry is tortuous, with twists and turns in development and advances in twists and turns. There is a good saying: "Opportunity will only come to people who are prepared." This is not false, and the same applies to shopping malls. Opportunities for the machine tool industry have arrived, but whether it can be discovered and grasped will affect the future of the domestic machine tool industry.

Key components and accessories determine the development of the host. The research and invention of parts and components is the "short leg" of most enterprises in China's machinery manufacturing industry. Foreign suppliers began to impose restrictions on China in many aspects such as supply of basic parts, quotation, supply period, product specifications, and other models. In this case, the main profits of the machine tool industry must be swallowed by imported parts. Therefore, it is a major challenge and opportunity faced by the development of China's machine tool industry to resolve the situation in which key and core components rely on imports for a long time and are subject to foreign suppliers.

Although the economic environment is unfavorable, many operators of machine tool accessories still have confidence in the future. We have every reason to believe that under the huge CNC machine tool market in China, the machine tool industry in China has surpassed Germany and the world’s largest machine tool market has been encouraged. The domestic machine tool market will develop faster and better!
