The development of the machinery industry greatly influences the machine tool industry

At present, the market share of the domestic metal processing machine tool output value continues to increase, reaching 70.1%; the domestic market share of CNC machine tool production value reached 62%. Most of its demand orders originate from various types of enterprises in the machinery industry; at the same time, its level also has special significance for the upgrading of all industries and industries in the machinery industry. Therefore, the development of the machine tool industry depends not only on the overall development of the Chinese machinery industry, but also on the healthy development of the entire industry.

Compared with the situation in China's machinery industry, the changes in the machine tool industry and the contradictions faced in the past year were all more pronounced. According to data from the China Federation of Machinery Industry, until the first half of 2011, demand is still very strong. Most machine tool companies are in a state of exuberant production and sales; but from the second half of last year, the demand growth has slowed down significantly New orders fell sharply, the economic situation gradually became severe, and the profit rate continued to decline.

From January to December 2012, China's imports of CNC machine tools were US$4,560 million, a year-on-year decrease of 11.6%; imports were 15,600 units, a year-on-year decrease of 29.8%; and import average prices were US$299,900/unit, up 26.0% year-on-year.

In December, China's imports of CNC machine tools were US$351 million, a year-on-year decrease of 32.7% and a year-on-year decrease of 14.1%. Imports were 126,600, a year-on-year decrease of 26.9% and a month-on-month decrease of 15.8%. The average import price was US$277,500 per unit. It decreased 8.0% year-on-year and 2.1% month-on-month.

According to the data, in 2011, China's machine tool industry imported 20.7 billion U.S. dollars, while exports accounted for 7.3 billion U.S. dollars, and the import and export deficit was as high as 13.4 billion U.S. dollars. It can be seen that the demand for China's machine tool products is objective. It is only that domestic machine tool companies cannot fully satisfy them; if it can achieve the basic balance between imports and exports, the Chinese machine tool industry could increase sales of US$13.4 billion by the end of last year.
