Metal cutting machine tool industry to a strategic position

At present, it is understood that metal cutting machine tools have become the largest product category, and its size is three times that of metal forming machines. In the future, with the development of production scales such as automobiles and parts, aerospace, molds, railway transportation equipment, construction machinery, and other types of equipment manufacturing, as well as the formation of global industrial shifts, and the related industries’ strength to multi-level machine tool products The demand will further promote the rapid growth of China's metal cutting machine tool manufacturing industry.

In 2012, the global production value of cutting machine tools was 48.4 billion euros, and the number of machine tools was 16.8 billion euros. The proportion of total machine tool output was stable at 73% and 27%. The year-on-year growth rates were 6% and 10% respectively, and the growth rate of cutting machine tools decreased significantly. . Among the major competitors in the world, Japan accounted for the highest proportion of cutting machine tools, reaching 87%; followed by Switzerland, 85%, and China, Taiwan, 84%. Germany accounted for 74% of cutting, the same as the United States, South Korea rose to 73%, China It fell to 67%; Italian cutting machine tools and forming machines were evenly divided, each accounting for 50%.

In 2012, Japan's cutting machine tools continued to top the list with 12.4 billion euros in output value and 25.7% of the total; the output value of China's cutting machine tools fell to 9.8 billion euros, accounting for 20.3%, ranking second; the German production value increased by 12%. The proportion rose to 16.2%, ranking third; China's Taiwan accounted for 7.4% of the total (leading to 6.7%).

Due to the increase of downstream demand in the industry, various economic types of enterprises in the industry have developed rapidly. Large-scale state-owned enterprises represented by Dalian Machine Tool and Shenyang Machine Tool have maintained a strong momentum of development and have become the backbone of the industry; with the East China CNC, Yawei shares, The rapid development of private enterprises represented by Nantong Science and Technology, etc. In addition, Japan's Yamazaki Mazak, Otsuka Co., Ltd., Amada Co., Ltd. and German TRUMPF Group, Demagee Co., Ltd. have also achieved good results in China. development of.

The Chinese government has raised the metal cutting machine tool industry to a strategic position and listed the development of large-scale, precision, high-speed numerical control equipment and functional components as one of the country’s important revitalization goals, and will also promote the rapid development of the industry.

According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in May 2013, the output of China's metal-cutting machine tools was 68,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. From January to May of 2013, the output of metal cutting machine tools in China was 308,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 4.3%.

According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, China imported 32,079 sets of metal processing machine tools from January to May 2013, a decrease of 21.5% compared with the same period of last year. In May of the same month, China's imports of metal processing machine tools were 6,604, and the import amount was 7.44. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

Experts estimate that the total industrial output value of China's metal-cutting machine tool industry will exceed 200 billion yuan in 2015, making it the world's largest production base for metal-cutting machine tools.
