Machinery industry production and sales double over 10 trillion

In 2009, the total industrial output value and sales output value of the machinery industry totaled 10.75 trillion yuan and 10.48 trillion yuan, which means that the annual production and sales volume of China's machinery industry exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 16.07% over the previous year. 16.11%. At this point, since 2003, the machinery industry has achieved a new trillion-dollar-per-year increase in sales for seven consecutive years.

Statistics also show that in 2009 the value added of the machinery industry increased by 13.8% over the previous year, which was 2.8 percentage points higher than the growth rate of the national industry of 11.0%. Wang Ruixiang, president of the China Federation of Machinery Industry, in an interview with the reporter of the Economic Daily, fully affirmed that after the central government implemented a package plan to deal with the international financial crisis, the policy of “guarantee growth” appeared earlier in the machinery industry, which strongly promoted the industry. The major economic indicators within the country steadily rebounded month by month.

The output of major machinery products has reached new heights, especially in the automotive and agricultural machinery industries. The automobile industry can be called the “engine” for the growth of the machinery industry. Starting from March 2009, the monthly sales of Chinese automobiles have exceeded one million for 10 consecutive months. The annual output has reached 13.79 million and the sales volume is 13.64 million.

It is worth mentioning that, with the promotion of relevant policies, China's high-end equipment has made new progress in independent innovation, and the machine tool industry has seen bright spots in structural optimization. According to the statistics of 197 key enterprises in China's machine tool industry, in the first nine months of 2009, the numerical control rate of metal processing machine tools increased by 6 percentage points year-on-year to 53.6%, while the output of metal cutting machines decreased by 30.6% year-on-year, but the average unit price increased. 34%, CNC machine tool production fell 13.8%, but the unit price increased by 21%, showing a strong momentum of machine tool product upgrades.
