China's machine tool market demand shifts to a higher level

The market of CNC machine tools in China is huge. Compared with foreign products, the gap in China is mainly due to the high-speed, high-efficiency and precision of machine tools. China is in the mid-industrial period, that is, from the solution of the shortage-based opening to the gradual transformation of the building of an economically powerful country, from the eradication of poverty. Towards enrichment, a number of high-growth industries based on heavy industry, such as coal, automobiles, steel, real estate, building materials, machinery, electronics, and chemical industries, have a strong momentum of development, which constitutes a huge demand for the machine tool market, especially for CNC machine tools.

The level, variety, and production capacity of CNC machine tools directly reflect the country's overall strength. According to statistics, in the past five years, the average annual compound growth rate of China's CNC machine tool production was 37.39%. Experts pointed out that, driven by relevant industries, the average annual growth rate of CNC machine tools in the future will exceed 10%. By 2015, the national CNC system demand will reach 400,000 sets, and annual sales will reach 850 billion yuan.

The competitiveness of China's high-end CNC machine tools is not strong because many companies only care about manufacturing machine tools, but they do not have R&D capabilities. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the issue of talents. The non-engineering of engineering education in China now leads to the training of talents and engineering practice knowledge. Less, less ability to innovate. This makes China's high-end CNC machine tools heavily dependent on imports, and technically controlled by others. For example, some of the key software of high-end five-axis linkage machines in foreign countries restricts the export to China. There are even restrictions on the use of departments and installation sites.

At present, most domestic machine tool companies are concerned about how to make the company bigger. There are thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. And foreign companies are more eager to lead the technology, that is to make their own products in the manufacture of other products indispensable. At present, the competition mechanism of Chinese machine tool companies mainly depends on price and quantity, and lacks core technologies. With the increase in labor, raw materials and other costs, corporate profits will become increasingly thin. Therefore, the competition mechanism needs to be changed.

In addition, the national policy also has an important influence on the technological development of the CNC machine tool industry. During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the state implemented a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy. With the advancement of science and technology, product upgrades, and the continuous advancement of national key projects and local investment projects, the demand for machine tool products in various sectors of the national economy will be With further improvement, the demand for high-level machine tools for modernization of national defense will become more urgent, market demand will develop to a higher level, and a new round of market competition will also become more intense.
