Machine tool industry will continue last year's restorative growth

A few days ago, the reporter learned from the 17th China International Machine Tool Exhibition (cimt2021) that in June 2019, the import and export trade surplus of China's machine tool industry appeared for the first time and has been maintained. From January to December 2020, the import and export trade surplus of China's machine tool industry was US $2.45 billion.


According to the China Machine Tool Industry Association, in 2020, the business situation of the machine tool industry will improve month by month after March, and then accelerate to pick up every month. This year will continue last year's restorative growth trend, the market will show the characteristics of high before low, and the main economic indicators are expected to grow by more than 5%.


The reporter learned from the exhibition area of Qinchuan group that the orders of Qinchuan group's enterprises are full, and the orders of CNC machine tools have been arranged to the second half of this year. Yan Jianbo, chairman of the group, revealed that compared with 2020, Qinchuan group's operating revenue and profit will increase significantly this year.


Foreign enterprises in China also have good expectations for this year's operation. At the joint meeting sponsored by China Machine Tool Industry Association, Feng Haitian, general manager of Liebherr Mechanical Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said that the company's performance in automobile, agricultural machinery, new energy, construction machinery and other sub industries has grown rapidly, and the company is very optimistic about the market prospect in 2021.


Jia Jiangyang, general manager of Heidenhain China, said that the growth trend of the company's performance remains unchanged and it is expected that it will reach a new level this year. Ai Feng, general manager of hammer (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd., said that the company's orders and deliveries increased by 10% year on year last year, showing a hot trend in the first quarter of this year, so that the German headquarters has set a growth target of 20%.


Some analysts believe that the reason why foreign enterprises in China have good expectations for 2021 is that China takes the lead in resuming work and production. In addition, China's entering the "14th five year plan" period, in order to achieve high-quality economic development and expand the demand for medium and high-end products and technologies, will also bring more opportunities to foreign enterprises in China. At the same time, the trade friction between China and the United States has had a certain impact on the entry of foreign high-end machine tools into the Chinese market, and the user's demand for high-end machine tools made in China has increased.


Wang Liming, Secretary General of China machine tool and tool industry association, said that there are many factors supporting China's economic good expectations in the future. For example, the double cycle new development pattern will promote the development of the machine tool and tool market; the purchasing manager index (PMI) is above the boom and bust line for 12 consecutive months, and the recovery trend of the machine tool and tool industry is obvious; the automobile manufacturing industry and other industries are obviously better than expected, which is conducive to the machine tool and tool industry The market demand of the industry is increasing.
