China Machine Tool Industry Association executive vice president of Satisfying said recently , in 2009 , machine tool industry was stable economic performance to good posture , but the impact of financial crisis on the industry as well as uncertainties still exist. 2010 , in the economic growth rate over 8 % of the driving force of the machine tool industry's growth rate will reach 15% , metal cutting machine tool industry will have single-digit growth . Annual import and export of metal working machines will appear to resume growth.

Multiple pressures bearing machine tool industry

In addition , users of the machine tool products, performance, reliability, service , payment method , also proposed more stringent requirements , coupled with foreign machine tool manufacturers, price competition , increase the company's sales of domestic difficulty and pressure to weaken the Chinese machine tool Tool industry, the price advantage , affecting profitability , increased the risks faced by the industry running .

By the financial crisis , foreign machine tool industry into a recession , machine tool production and sales are down 30% year on year to 50% . The reason is that the manufacturing recession , the global infrastructure investment at a standstill , automotive and general machinery manufacturing industry difficult , on the demand for machine tools dropped significantly. This also led to China's machine tool exports dropped sharply over the previous year , according to statistics , down 33.5% .

Ranked first in the world manufacturing country

While in 2009 China's machine tool industry the serious impact the financial Wei Ji , but in Zhongyang correct principles and policies under the guidance of a firm confidence in the whole industry , tenacious struggle , to overcome difficulties , Quannian industry-wide output and sales Shou Rureng Gong Ye Wei Chi Growth situation , and for the first time ranked the world's first machine tool manufacturing country .

In accordance with the National Bureau of Statistics data , in 2009 the industry 401.4 billion yuan industrial output value , up 16.1% ; 1 to November sales income 331.9 billion yuan , up 12.2%. China is the world 's machine tool output value and sales income of the only countries to maintain growth .

In 2009, industry innovation accomplishments. Industrialization of independent innovation accelerated development of new products are great attention . CNC machine tool companies to develop new products has become the subject of further optimization of product structure . A number of high-speed , precision , complex , multi-axis NC machine tool , and a group of large size , large tonnage of new products entering the market CNC machine tools , and enhance the enterprise 's ability to fight financial crisis , military and national defense to meet the needs of key users , In national economic construction and national defense industry played a key role in the development . In particular the rapid development of heavy metal cutting machine tools , development and manufacture of the world's largest 25m, 28m vertical milling CNC lathes, turning diameter of 5m, load 500t CNC horizontal lathe , 10.5m overhead gantry CNC composite tool , boring bar diameter 320mm CNC Boring and Milling Machine , 2500mm diameter, roll grinding , high-performance CNC forging equipment caused great concern to the international counterparts . Machine tool industry in 2009 , there were 24 sub- projects were the "China Machinery Industry Science and Technology Award , " first, second , and third prizes .

To meet the financial crisis, changes in market demand , many companies have done a lot of adjustment on the main products of the work . Compressed low-grade , general products, upgrading of the economic type CNC machine tools , and focus on developing high-end CNC machine tools and production lines. From the industry perspective, low-grade , less common products , the high-grade digital products, special products more . According to association statistics for the key enterprises in 2009, NC metal processing machine tool production was 52% , an increase of 3.4 percentage points . Metal cutting machine tools and CNC metal cutting machine tools were the average unit price of 19.5 million yuan and 406,000 yuan , respectively, compared with 21.9% in 2008 and improved 8.8% . Industry experts point out : industry product mix to effectively adjust rapidly during the past few years thanks to technological innovation and new product development, solid foundation .

After the rapid development in recent years , a number of sub- machine tool industry has been in the fierce international competition to obtain an advantage . If a large heavy-duty CNC metal cutting machine tools and large-tonnage forging equipment , many foreign products in the same stage with many foreign competitors to beat .

On the other hand , a year after the industry 's efforts , the machine tool industry finally succeeded in the challenge response to the financial crisis has made the improvement of production and sales of two-way , but the industry average profit level has not increased .

Meanwhile, the Central Economic Work Conference also suggested , "continue to implement the proactive fiscal policy and a moderately easy monetary policy. According to the new situation, new focus on improving the policy relevance and flexibility. " " To maintain appropriate growth of investment focus for the completion of construction projects and strictly control new projects . " This means that countries with limited financial resources will be used to encourage R & D of high-tech products and create a favorable energy saving technology to benefit rural issues, improve people's livelihood and other aspects , without sacrificing the environment to ensure growth , on "Two High A capital " products more restrictive . Copenhagen Conference on countries to reduce carbon emissions are greater pressures.

The next phase should focus on the work of Satisfying that should note the following : First, investment in key countries of concern , to speed up industrial restructuring. Second, by strengthening the management effectiveness , to ensure corporate profitability. The third is to seek a breakthrough in the industry to expand exports . Should also increase the technological efforts to expand technical innovation in high- level work , and to pay attention to strengthening of integration of the two , particularly in key business sectors must do a good job .
