Compared with some developed countries, my country's industrial development started late, and the technological gap is obvious, especially in the machine tool industry. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Western developed countries have fully entered the era of CNC machine tools, while my country's CNC technology was still in its infancy. Therefore, when the machine tool market opened in the 1990s, my country's machine tool industry was facing stronger competitive pressure.
In May 2015, the State Council issued the strategic document "Made in China 2025" to deploy and comprehensively promote the implementation of a manufacturing powerhouse. This is also my country's action plan for the first ten years of implementing the manufacturing powerhouse strategy. After the "Made in China 2025" was proposed, my country's machine tool industry has also set the goal of "high-precision". However, with the development of the machine tool industry in recent years, market feedback does not seem to be optimistic.
Since entering the reorganization, my country's machine tool industry has been in a passive situation of "low-end melee and high-end fall" over the years. According to the relevant data of the annual China machine tool market released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of metal cutting machine tools nationwide reached 416,000 units in 2019, a decrease of 18.8% compared to 2018 output. In 2012, the output of metal cutting machine tools in China But it is as high as 882,300 units. In contrast, the downturn of the entire industry is worrying. The output of machine tools that are supported by basic industries has generally decreased year by year, which is not a good phenomenon.
For many manufacturing enterprises, a large number of orders can be obtained by adjusting prices, and part of the profits can be invested in research and development and upgrading of equipment, and then obtain more orders and profits. But to meet this virtuous circle, there is a prerequisite: the market capacity must be large enough, and the technological progress must not be too fast.
However, with the dual impact of global economic pressure and the epidemic, some machine tool companies have experienced depression. In the comparison of the output value of the world's machine tool enterprises in 2018, the important Shenyang and Dalian machine tool industries are still in bankruptcy and losses, and even fell out of the top 10 in the industry. If they continue to develop in this way, it will definitely be "unhealthy". In the eyes of professionals, there are two main reasons for this phenomenon.
First: the state does not pay enough attention to the industry.
Second: There is a serious brain drain in the industry.
In the machine tool manufacturing industry, from design to R&D and production, it takes less than three to five years to complete, and even three to five years are less. In the advanced machine tool manufacturing industry abroad, employees have been in the industry for almost a lifetime. You can imagine the depth of the rooted precipitation. Under the market competition of "chasing fame and profit", some domestic machine tool companies are eager for quick success and quick profit, completely neglecting the precipitation of technology and culture. In addition, the lack of profit is the main reason why some companies cannot stick to it. For machine tool companies, they have not received comprehensive and idealized policy support. The income of designers, craftsmen, and technicians in the domestic machine tool industry has always been far less than that of a sales lady or a car seller. And it is easy for people to associate the machine tool industry with "dirty", "chaotic", and "low". Under such circumstances, it is difficult for employees in the machine tool industry to be respected by some people in society, and of course their income is not much higher. Technologists have basically "starved to death" because it is difficult to feed their families.
A large manufacturing country must have three pillars-smelting, machine tools, and mechanics. Among them, the machine tool is the cradle of machinery, the mechanic is the nanny, and the smelting is the lubricant. In recent years, because many people are overly "superstitious" in the role of the global industrial chain (making commissioned processing and purchasing complete sets of equipment become the mainstream of the industry), the manufacturing industry has begun to be controlled by others, and product quality and innovation have not been improved, and it is clearly behind the world's cutting-edge Level.
China's machine tool industry is at a "crossroads" with many difficulties, and it is urgent to change the development mode and seek a new way to break through.
