China's imported machine tool product structure has changed

In the past two decades, the development of China's manufacturing industry has been extremely rapid, and the machine tool industry has made great strides in the world's largest machine tool manufacturing countries at an incredible speed. According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs of China, in the first half of 2013, China imported 38,426 sets of metal processing machines, a year-on-year decrease of 22.3%. After entering 2013, the import of machine tool products in China has experienced a general decline.
After entering 2013, the import of machine tool products in China showed a general decline. From January to May, the import value of machine tools decreased by 14.6% year-on-year, of which metal processing machine imports fell by 16.8% year-on-year. This is in addition to the impact of the global financial crisis in 2009. Imports of machine tools have fallen for the first time in double digits in the past 10 years. Not only that, the structure of imported machine tool products in China has also undergone significant changes in many aspects in the past two years.

"The sharp drop in import volume is the inevitable result of China's machine tool market entering the callback period after a period of rapid expansion to a certain stage." The relevant personnel of the Marketing Department of China Machine Tool Industry Association believe that the actual situation of the market may be much harsher than the above data.

According to the data of January-May 2013 of the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of domestic gold-cutting machine tools decreased by 4.9%, and the average unit price increased by 11.5%. According to the same period data of the customs, the number of imported gold-cutting machine tools decreased by 25.7%, and the average unit price increased by 12.1%. When the demand for machine tools is greatly reduced, the average price of machine bed sheets has risen significantly, indicating that the market demand for medium and low-end machine tools has been greatly reduced.

According to customs import source data, the import volume of German metal processing machine tools, which ranks among the best in the world's machine tool industry, has increased, and the import volume has increased by 16.48%. In some advanced machine tool countries such as the United States, the import volume has also increased; Imports of machine tools decreased by 37.2% compared with the same period of 2012; the number of machine tools in Taiwan in China also dropped by 15.07%. This shows that the proportion of domestic demand for medium and high-end precision CNC machine tools is increasing.

With the development of domestic aerospace, marine, military, automotive, steel, machinery, electronics, chemical and other industries, the demand for high-efficiency, high-precision automated manufacturing equipment has been driven by various industries, and it has also brought high precision, high speed and high efficiency. The demand for medium and high-end CNC machine tools has increased significantly. This means that the product demand structure is accelerated and upgraded in the current situation of reduced environmental demand. “The large-scale low-grade tool production capacity of the tool industry is maintained by the national export tax rebate. This excess capacity of wasted resources will definitely be eliminated.” said Shen Zhuangxing, honorary chairman of the Tool Tool Industry Association of China Machine Tool Industry Association.

According to the data published by Global Insight, the scale of China's manufacturing industry accounted for 19.9% ​​of the global total in 2011, but the tool industry serving the manufacturing industry consumes more than 50% of the world's raw materials. Cemented carbide accounts for more than 40%. Shen Zhuangxing pointed out that this asymmetrical consumption ratio indicates a huge waste of resources and cannot be continued. “So, changing the economic development mode of the tool industry means eliminating the excess capacity of high-consumption and inefficient tools, vigorously developing modern and efficient tools that are urgently needed by the manufacturing industry, and providing the greatest productivity to the society with the least resource consumption. Needless to say, This process will make the enterprise of the tool industry constitute a reshuffle in accordance with the principle of survival of the fittest."

Shen Zhuangxing pointed out that in the next 10 years, China's manufacturing industry will accelerate the pace of transformation from large to strong. Therefore, the tool industry must meet the new demands of the manufacturing industry, not the increase in the quantity of supply, but the improvement of the service level. Looking forward to the development of manufacturing technology and equipment in the next 10 years, first of all, green environmental protection is a necessary condition. Second, there are five major trends in function: high productivity, high performance, high flexibility, adaptive control and modularity. The requirements for the tool are high performance and stability, life and efficiency, and reduced cutting energy consumption. To meet these new requirements, tool companies have new breakthroughs in tooling system design, material technology and coating technology.

Shen Zhuangxing also stressed that tool companies have entered the development of modern and efficient tools, and they have to complete a major transformation of their roles: from simple tool suppliers to providers of integrated solutions for manufacturing process technology. "We have repeatedly mentioned in the industry development strategy seminar that in recent years, China's tool companies have introduced advanced foreign technology and equipment, and the manufacturing capacity of high-efficiency tools has been greatly improved. Import substitution has been realized in many fields. However, many enterprises are supplying After the tool, there is no comprehensive ability to provide extended services for users. Therefore, in the high-end field, there are often one-to-one import substitutions, and the scale of the whole market is very slow. This is the main gap between China's tool enterprises and foreign advanced levels. Must be determined to solve it."
