In 2012, the machine tool industry showed a trend of low and high development.

In 2012, the machine tool industry showed a trend of low and high development, and the continued strong demand of the domestic low-end market slowed the growth of the industry to some extent. Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Model Association, believes that the industry still does not fundamentally shake off the development model characterized by scale expansion. Although our industry scale is large, the product structure level is low, and it is still at the low end of the global industrial chain. On the one hand, the development of the overall machine tool industry has the world's largest industrial scale. On the other hand, it faces the situation that the domestic middle and high-end market, especially the high-end market, still depends on imports. In particular, the medium and high-end CNC systems and major functional components are more dependent on imports. high. Therefore, it can be said that the basic characteristics of the industry at this stage are “big but not strong”. The main contradiction of the industry at this stage is the contradiction between the accelerated upgrading of the domestic market demand structure and the incompatibility of the industry supply capacity.

Since entering the new century, China's machine tool industry has experienced continuous high-speed development in the past decade, and has achieved great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. In 2009, the scale of the industry economy ranked first in the world. In 2010, the industry's industrial output value reached nearly 550 billion yuan, of which metal processing machine tools output value of 20.9 billion US dollars, accounting for about one-third of the world. At the same time as the rapid growth of the economic scale, the product structure level of the machine tool industry continues to increase, the technological innovation capability is significantly enhanced, and the comprehensive quality and market competitiveness of the industry enterprises are continuously improving. In 2010, the output of CNC machine tools exceeded 220,000 units in the whole industry. The domestic market share of CNC machine tools reached 57%. The domestic mid-range CNC machine tools were put on the market in batches. Some high-end CNC machine tools began to enter the core manufacturing fields of key industries and were initially applied. A few key manufacturing areas have made important breakthroughs.

The machine tool industry is greatly affected by the downstream demand pull. About 60% of the downstream industry's fixed asset investment is used to purchase machine tools. It is understood that during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the investment in the downstream aerospace industry, automobile, high-speed rail, construction machinery and other industries in the machine tool industry will increase, and the demand for medium and high-end CNC machine tools will continue to increase. According to Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Model Association, by 2020, the ratio of low-to-medium-grade CNC machine tools will reach 20:60:20, and the annual demand for medium-to-high-end CNC machine tools will be 120,000 units, which has a broad market space.

However, Luo Baihui pointed out that in the past ten years of rapid development, we have relied more on the following factors: the continued strong domestic market demand, the development momentum stimulated by the changes in corporate institutional mechanisms and the strength of national industrial policies. stand by. In comparison, the role of technological advancement and management upgrades is relatively limited. Objectively speaking, the continued strong domestic low-end market demand has also delayed the technological progress of the industry to some extent. As far as the industry is concerned, we still have not shaken off the development model with scale expansion as the main feature. Although our industry scale is large, the product structure level is low, and it is still at the low end of the global industrial chain. On the one hand, we have the world's largest industrial scale, on the other hand, we are faced with the situation that domestic high-end market, especially high-end market, still depends on imports, especially the high-end CNC system and main functional components are more dependent on imports. Therefore, it can be said that the basic characteristics of the industry at this stage are “big but not strong”. The main contradiction of the industry at this stage is the contradiction between the accelerated upgrading of the domestic market demand structure and the incompatibility of the industry supply capacity.
