This year China's machine tool output will maintain a 10% growth rate

Wu Bing said that last year, the domestic market for machine tool tools has undergone significant changes: On the one hand, due to the decline in exports, investment slowdown, sluggish domestic demand and other factors, the domestic market demand fell sharply; on the other hand, with the user industry to speed up the structure Adjustments and product upgrades, users put forward higher requirements for machine tool products and services, and their demand structure is accelerating.

Statistics show that as of December 2012, new orders have been negative for 19 consecutive months, and the demand for low-end products has decreased significantly. On the other hand, the amount of imports of machine tool products used to meet the mid- to high-end market has remained high. It shows that the contradiction between the product structure of our country's machine tools and the incommensurate with market demand is more prominent, and it has become an urgent matter to accelerate the market competitiveness of home-made high-end machine tool products.

Wu Bolin believes that after more than 10 years of rapid growth, China's machine tool industry is currently facing a relatively difficult transition period. The rapid growth over the past 10 years, although we have achieved world-renowned development achievements, it is still at the low end of the international division of labor and industrial chain. Faced with the accelerated upgrading of market demand structure, the lack of market competitiveness of domestic medium and high-end machine tool products, and the impact of factors such as the reindustrialization of developed countries and the expansion of international competitors’ product chains to the mid-range, it can be predicted that the market competition will become more intense in the future. The operating situation is even more severe. The machine tool industry must reverse the current unfavorable operating conditions. The only way out is to transform and upgrade, that is, to achieve overall improvement in the market competitiveness of industry enterprises through technological advancement, management upgrade, and improvement of the quality of laborers.

In this regard, Wu Bolin proposed that in response to the new situation in which the market demand for the whole industry is accelerated and upgraded this year, the machine tool industry production enterprises must make full use of various resources, closely follow the needs of users, adjust the product structure, and comprehensively upgrade the market of domestic high-end machine tool products. Competitiveness.
