Machine tool: The development of the whole year is expected to rise steadily

New changes in market demand
China Machine Tool Industry Association recently released the statistics of China's machine tool industry operation in the first half of 2010. Since the first half of the year, China's machine tool industry has continued to grow at a high rate. According to statistics, from January to June this year, the machine tool industry has completed a total industrial output value of 242.42 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 41.4%; product sales value of 235.87 billion yuan, an increase of 42.0%; industrial product sales rate reached 97.3%, an increase of 0.4 Percentage points; cumulative fixed asset investment completion increased by 10.3% year-on-year.

From the perspective of sub-sectors, the gross industrial output value of the three small industries of gold cutting machine tools, measuring tools and measuring instruments, and woodworking machinery is lower than the industry average, while machine tool accessories, foundry machinery, abrasives, and other metal processing. The growth rate of five small industries such as machinery and metal forming machine tools is higher than the industry average.

In terms of market demand, the first half of the year showed a trend of reversing the "Z" shape. From the statistics of the China Machine Tool Industry Association on the number of new orders and cumulative orders completed by key contact enterprises, in January this year, the Machine Tool Industry Association added orders and accumulated orders to 230 new key enterprises in the industry to reach 3.95 billion. Yuan fell to 3.56 billion yuan in February. Since then, the value has climbed all the way to reach 3.93 billion yuan in April, and the market demand has seen a new round of growth. From May to June, the number of new orders and cumulative orders completed by key contact enterprises remained at 3.66 billion yuan.

Wu Bolin, executive vice president of China Machine Tool Industry Association, said that the above trend indicates that the market demand for some machine tools in China has declined, and the market demand growth is expected to slow down in the second half of the year.

The pace of structural adjustment needs to be accelerated
In the first half of this year, the export of machine tool products reached US$3.11 billion, up 45.7% year-on-year. Among them, cutting tools and tools, abrasives and abrasives became the two largest export products, accounting for 44.8% of total exports; metal processing machine tools accounted for total exports. 26.1%.

Wu Bolin analyzed that the impact of the international financial crisis on the overall export situation of the machine tool industry still exists. Although the export value of machine tools has rebounded sharply, it has not recovered to the same level in 2008. In addition, the structure of China's exported machine tool products is still in constant change. The pressure on the unit price of export products has increased, and the profits of export enterprises have shrunk. The industry still faces many difficulties.

From January to June this year, the import value of China's machine tool products increased by 12.7% compared with the same period in 2008. Among them, the high-speed growth of cutting tools, machine tool fixtures and machine tool parts imports is particularly obvious. From the average import unit price, the proportion of imported high-end machine tools has declined, resulting in a sharp drop in the unit price of imported machine tools, but close to the same period in 2008.

Wu Bolin analyzed that the main reason for the increase in imports is that the domestic machine tool market has expanded rapidly in recent years, providing space for the rapid development of China's machine tool industry, but many domestic high-end CNC machine tools and high-end tools and parts are in use. Life expectancy, efficiency, reliability and other aspects have to be further improved, which has led to a significant increase in the import volume of these products.

Wu Bolin further analyzed that the current import and export situation of machine tool products shows that the competitiveness of China's machine tool industry is still not strong, and the situation of high-end products relying on imports has not changed significantly. The market competition of mid-end products is becoming increasingly fierce. The pace of adjustment needs to be further accelerated.

Strive to improve the quality of the industry
Wu Bolin said that since the first half of this year, due to the cumulative effect of investment, market demand has soared, and the demand for low-end machine tool products by some SMEs has also increased rapidly. Driven by this market demand, some machine tool companies have begun to tilt their capital and production capacity to low-end products, which has adversely affected the adjustment and optimization of the industry structure.

Statistics also show that from January to June this year, the numerical control rate of metal processing machine tool output value was 49.8%, down 1.5 percentage points year-on-year; the output value of domestic major system manufacturers mainly producing economical numerical control system was as high as 83.2%; The demand for ordinary machine tools and economical CNC machine tools has increased significantly.

In addition, China Machine Tool Industry Association statistics on the 230 key enterprises in the industry, the average unit price of gold cutting machine tools and CNC metal cutting machine tools displayed every six months, starting from 2008, the average unit price of machine tools has increased rapidly, but from 2009 At the beginning of the second half of the year, the average unit price of Jinchee machine tools was only slightly higher than that of the first half of 2008. The average unit price of CNC machine tools has been lower than that of the first half of 2008. After further eliminating the factors such as the increase in raw material costs, the above two units Both have been lower than the same period in 2008. This further reflects that the current product structure of the machine tool industry has not improved significantly.

Wu Bolin pointed out that the market's demand for low-end products is growing temporarily. From the current point of view, with the further release of investment energy, market demand will further return to rational demand. In other words, high-end machine tool products will be more favored by the market. In addition, from a policy perspective, the state is also more inclined to support high-end machine tool products with independent intellectual property rights and strong market competitiveness.

Wu Bolin said that it is expected that the development of the machine tool industry will remain relatively stable this year. In the long run for a long time, we should pay attention to guiding enterprises to shift more from focusing on scale and speed to focusing on quality and efficiency, so that enterprises can accelerate the structural adjustment and strive to improve product quality and market competitiveness, thus achieving the improvement of the whole industry. The goal of quality and efficiency.
