Self-improving domestic machine tools

With the development of manufacturing in China, the Chinese machine tool industry has also changed its predecessors in the mid-to-low-end market and started to move toward the high-end market. It is estimated that by 2022, the market size of China's CNC machine tool industry will exceed 500 billion yuan.

In the past two years, the machine tool industry has recovered, and the domestic machine tool market structure has been gradually adjusted. Machine tool companies have also constantly adjusted their product layout under the new situation and have developed to a high level of precision. At present, China's machine tool manufacturing industry as a whole is becoming digital, intelligent, integrated, and professional.

Regarding the development of the industry, Mao Yufeng, executive vice chairman of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, affirmed and pointed out that China's machine tool consumption market presents new features of “total stability and structural upgrading” and will show a moderate growth trend in the future. To be sure, the development of China's machine tool industry is good, and from the data point of view is also true. According to statistics, in 2016, sales of CNC machine tools in China were 263.04 billion yuan, an increase of 7.69% year-on-year. It is estimated that from 2017 to 2022, CNC machine tools in China will still maintain a growth rate of between 10% and 12%. Upstream and downstream industry development, national policy support, and technological innovation breakthroughs will all be favorable factors for the development of the machine tool industry in the next few years.

Although, in the enterprise and all parties' efforts, the upward development of the machine tool industry is irreversible. However, at this stage, some problems still need to be given enough attention. For example, the structure of China's machine tool industry is not rational enough, and low-end manufacturing is full; high-end fields have poor competitiveness and some technical fields have gaps; in addition, some companies have low profitability, and there are still 3% of companies last year under the general trend of industry warming. At a loss... All of these issues need to be solved.

At the “2018 Machine Tool Manufacturing CEO International Forum”, Long Xingyuan, the chairman of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, also pointed out that although downstream developments such as automobiles, construction machinery, and electronic products make the demand for machine tools very strong, the machine tool industry still needs Pay attention to the impact and opportunities brought by new materials and new technologies to the industry. At the same time, we must also grasp the opportunities brought by digitalization, networking, and intelligence to the industry.

With awe and steadfastness. Xiao Bian thinks that for machine tool companies, they can go further in the market competition in which both opportunities and challenges coexist.
