China's machine tool market information summary

From January to December 2012, the development of China's machine tool industry showed a steady year-on-year growth. The industrial output value was 7,057,791,100 yuan, an increase of 12.73% over the same period of last year; the sales value of sales amounted to 5,889,230 million yuan, an increase of 12.25% year-on-year; the sales ratio was 83.44%; The total amount was 5,216,450,000 yuan, an increase of 9.79% over the same period of last year, which was a decrease of 8.42 percentage points compared with the same period of last year.

Since the end of 2012, the import volume of metal processing machine tools has been continuously reduced, and the unit price of imports has continued to increase. This trend continued in 2013, with imports falling in the first seven months and unit prices rising by 6.4%. Judging from the situation in July, the import volume increased month-on-month, while the import price dropped from the previous month. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China, in July 2013, China imported 7132 sets of metal processing machine tools, a year-on-year decrease of 33.7%; the import amount was US$869 million, a significant decrease of 31.6% year-on-year; the average unit price was US$121,900.

From January to April, the cumulative production of gold-cutting machine tools reached 243,000 units, a decrease of 2% over the same period of last year, and a total of 60,000 units of CNC gold-cutting machine tools, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.9%. In April, a total of 22,000 metal forming machines were produced, which was a year-on-year increase of 7.0%. From January to April, a total of 69,000 sets of forming machine tools were produced, a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%. We previously judged that the prosperity of the machine tool industry will gradually bottom out in the second quarter. At present, the April data has seen a certain degree of improvement. Considering the machine tool industry lags behind the macroeconomic cycle and the recovery of the downstream industry, we expect the machine tool industry will be in the second half of the year. Gradually warmer.

On the import side, a total of 0.65 million machine tools were imported in April, a year-on-year decrease of 22.7%; the import value was US$970 million, a year-on-year decrease of 3.1%. From January to April, China imported 25,600 sets of metal processing machine tools, a year-on-year decrease of 19.3%, and the cumulative amount of imports was US$3.67 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 12.1%. In terms of exports, in April, 1.23 million sets of metal processing machine tools were exported, up 105% year-on-year; the export value was 210 million U.S. dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 0.9%, and the single export value was significantly reduced. From January to April, the cumulative export value was 890 million U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%.

In May 2013, the value of export delivery for the machine tool industry was 3.704 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.19%. From January to May, the value of export delivery was 16.98 billion, and the cumulative growth rate was 2.57%.

In May 2013, the value of export delivery for the machine tool industry was 3.704 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.19%. From January to May, the value of export delivery was 16.98 billion, and the cumulative growth rate was 2.57%.

In May, the output of metal cutting tools was 67,852,100 pieces, an increase of 10.31% from the previous quarter and an increase of 24.79% year-on-year. From January to May, a total of 307,565,642 pieces were produced, and the cumulative growth rate was 24.42% year-on-year.

From January to June 2013, the total import and export volume of the machine tool industry was US$11.787 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 11.44%, accounting for 3.74% of the import and export volume of the machinery industry. Among them, the negative growth rate of imports and exports in the machine tool industry expanded and exports were faster than imports. Eastern coastal areas such as Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Shanghai have always been the main areas for the import of CNC machine tools in China, and also the areas where export-oriented enterprises are relatively dense. The three places together accounted for more than half of the import value of CNC machine tools. However, in recent years, with the increase of investment and establishment of factories in the central and western regions of China, the import of these regions has shown a decline in volatility.

In recent years, the economy in the central and western regions of China has experienced a rapid growth, characterized by large volumes, concentrated sources of imports, and low single-unit prices. Importing companies are mainly on behalf of the IT industry. It can be seen from this that China's export processing industry is shifting to the central and western regions.

In the first half of the year, the rate of investment by overseas companies in the machine tool industry in China is declining. There are three main reasons for this. First, the national policy has changed. Foreign-invested enterprises enjoy the same national treatment in terms of taxation and equipment imports, and have reduced some of the preferential policies. Second, the degree of mainland market has declined, and the desire for foreign investment has declined; Manufacturing costs have risen significantly, and low-labor bonuses are gradually shrinking. This is consistent with the recent trend of shifting from labor-intensive industries to neighboring countries. Among the eleven products, metal processing machine tools have the largest deficit and the largest tool surplus. From January to June, the import and export deficit of the machine tool industry was 3.499 billion U.S. dollars.
