2009 by the financial crisis, China’s machine tool industry has experienced a second-quarter downturn trend, but the government policy of expanding domestic demand and have been introduced in the top ten industrial restructuring and revitalization of the dual role, into the third quarter of 2009, machine tools tool industry growth to double-digit growth; the whole industry was before the suppression after the Yang, the overall positive trend; profit decline narrowed the industry, business loss has been reduced.

Meanwhile, China’s machine tool output value ranked third from last year ranked first in the world, concern is: metal cutting machine tool industry growth rate is still relatively low; import and export industry-wide decline of the decline in exports is particularly serious. From the overall situation, in 2009 the whole industry is relatively stable, the main products imported to China did not pose a threat to the industry, industry in the state of basic security.

Hit by the global machine tool industry

In the international financial crisis, the countries seriously affected production and marketing machine. According to the U.S. Kadena Company January 11, 2010 announced the world’s leading machine tool manufacturers data, the previous year’s machine tool production in the forefront of Germany and Japan are significantly lower. One German machine tool production value of 15.6 billion U.S. dollars from the previous year by 40%; Japanese machine tool production value fell nearly 50% over the previous year, less than 90 billion dollars.

Machine tool industry in the world downturn, China’s machine tool industry in the government policy of stimulating domestic demand driven, to maintain the trend of flat or slightly increasing. 2009 China’s machine tool output value is expected to reach 13.96 billion U.S. dollars, with the previous year, thus exceeding Germany and Japan for the first time ranked the top; Chinese enterprises — Shenyang Machine Tool Group annual output value of 12.062 billion yuan will be the first to enter the world top five ( fifth).

Smooth out the crisis

2009 January to November, China’s machine tool industry’s total industrial output value of 349.46 billion yuan, an increase of 12%, the growth rate increased 6.5 percentage points over the first half. Industry-wide product sales revenue 331.85 billion yuan, an increase of 12.2%, the growth rate from January to August increased by 5.7 percentage points.

2009 January to November, China’s machine tool industry realized profits of 17.641 billion yuan, down 1.8% contraction compared with January-August fell 11.1 percentage points. Cutting the amount of profits which the largest decline of small industries, nearly 30%; metal cutting, metal forming, machine tool accessories industry profit decreased 7% year on year, lower than the -1.8% of the industry average. Product sales margin was 5.3%, down 0.8 percentage points higher than the month increased 0.2 percentage points 1-8 than 1-5 months increased 1.2 percentage points. The sales ratio of 97.4% year on year increase of 1.2 percentage points.

2009 January to November, China’s machine tool industry, metal cutting machine tool 565,961 sets completed, down 15.9%; in which to complete the CNC metal cutting machine tool 129,298 sets, down 3.0%. Decline compared with January-October, respectively, 3.0 and 4.4 percentage points narrowed, a decline of slowing down.

Along with the structural adjustment as the center of a series of industrial policy, the market is also accelerating change in the structure of demand, general, demand for CNC machine tools shrinking economy, universal, high growth in demand for CNC machine tools. According to the machine tool industry to monitor 230 key enterprises in 2009, the output value from January to November of CNC machine tools and machine tool unit rates are improved. Key enterprises CNC metalworking machine tools output was 52.7%, an increase of 5.4 percentage points; CNC metal cutting machine tool production rate of 54.1%, an increase of 5.3 percentage points; forming CNC machine tool production rate of 45.8%, an increase of 6.8 percentage points . Metal cutting machine tools and CNC metal cutting machine tools, respectively, the average unit price of 19.4 yuan and 409,000 yuan, respectively, increase over the previous year by 23% and 11%.

In addition, the output value of domestic market share of metalworking machine tools continue to improve, reaching 70% market share of domestic output of CNC machine tools to 63%.

By the financial crisis, the international machine tool market continues to slump. 2009 China’s machine tool exports growth from the previous years, Sharp is the depth of decline.

Competitive market, the export price fell sharply machine in 2009, January-November machine tool exports $ 4,230,000,000, down 35.7%; including metal processing machine tool export 1.26 billion, down 35.0%.

Affected by domestic demand, imports decline slowed down, and imports increased proportion of high-end machine. 2009 January-November machine tool products, imported a total of $ 8,690,000,000, down 23.4%; including metal processing machine tool imports 5.3 billion U.S. dollars, down 23.9%. Average unit price of imported machine tools 8.9 million, 6.0% increase over last year. In addition, there are also some changes in sources of imports from the United States, Japan, China Taiwan’s machine tool imports substantially reduced, from Germany, Italy, France and other European imports of machine tools continued to grow.
