Opportunities and challenges faced by China's machine tool industry in recent years

In addition to deeply cultivating the domestic market, Chinese machine tool companies must also actively participate in international competition, learn advanced technologies, and find gaps in communication and cooperation. The higher level of machine tools has played a key role in the development of the manufacturing industry, and it has also contributed to the country's overall strength. It is of great significance. "Recently, Schaefer, the general manager of the German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association, made research and judgment on the cutting-edge issues of the current development of the machine tool industry

"From a global perspective, in the past few years, the order and sales of the machine tool industry have been increasing, and the demand for machine tools in traditional industries such as automobiles, machinery, and medicine has been rising." Schaefer pointed out that the current global machine tool industry has steadily developed. The emergence of new technologies such as networking has a huge impact on the industry, not only improving production efficiency, but also ensuring product quality. However, the emergence of new technologies does not represent a disruptive change, and the market and technical challenges are still facing enterprises.

Machine tools are known as the "mother of industry". With the acceleration of the modernization of China's industrial infrastructure, the demand for high-quality manufacturing technologies for high-quality development is increasing. According to statistics, in 2018, China's main business income of enterprises in the machine tool industry was 715.13 billion yuan, an increase of 8.3% year-on-year. Among them, metal cutting machine tools completed main business revenue of 119.01 billion yuan, an increase of 3.3% year-on-year.

"The machine tool industry covers various industries such as machinery, power, control, and software. The industries interact with each other and form a very complex system. The high-level development of the industry requires this system to grow in a balanced manner, but this is a long-term continuous The process is not a one-off process. "Schaefer pointed out that not only China, but also South Korea's machine tool industry, which has a good momentum of development, cannot reach a very high level in a short time. Chinese machine tool companies must actively participate in international competition and find The gap has increased.
