In 2013, the machine tool industry maintained a 10% growth in output value

Wang Liming, executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, said on the 6th that in 2013 China's machine tool industry will maintain a total industrial output value of more than 10% growth.

According to Wang Liming, in the first 10 months of 2012, the situation facing China's machine tool industry was severe. According to the industry data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics, the growth rate of production and sales in the industry has dropped significantly, and the profit has shown negative growth. The total industrial output value of the association’s key linking companies has seen double-digit negative growth since the beginning of the year, and both orders and new orders for enterprises have dropped sharply. , Inventory increased significantly.

Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from January to October 2012, the national machine tool industry accumulated a total industrial output value of 576.67 billion yuan, an increase of 11.1% year-on-year; the cumulative sales value of product sales was 559.27 billion yuan, an increase of 10.8%, and the product sales rate was 97.0%. , Compared with the same period of last year, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points; cumulative investment in fixed assets increased by 14.2%, a decrease of 40.7 percentage points over the same period last year. In the first nine months of this year, the machine tool industry achieved a profit of 28.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 3.6%. The profit margin of product sales was 5.8%, which was a decrease of 0.7 percentage point from the same period of last year.

Wang Liming stated that the various areas of the national economy have gradually shifted from the past to the extension mode of expansion of production capacity to the connotative growth mode of product transformation and upgrading, and the shift from attention to quantity to the pursuit of quality. With the change of user development methods, the machine tool industry will also enter a continuous, rational and stable growth stage. It is expected that the decline in the growth rate of the gross industrial output value of the machine tool industry in the fourth quarter of this year will stabilize, but the growth rate of the metal processing machine industry may slow down for a long time. In the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics of the machine tool industry, in view of the double-digit growth in the industries such as abrasives, woodworking machinery and foundry machinery, it is expected that the growth rate of the machine tool industry in 2012 will be higher than 10%, including metal processing machines or There will be a slight positive growth.

Wang Liming believes that the investment prospects of various sectors of the national economy that affect the machine tool market are not pessimistic. The recent approval of the urban rail transit project by the country will lead to an increase in the growth rate of investment in fixed assets and will be reflected in 2013. In the area of ​​large aircraft, aviation engines will be the focus of China's future development. According to Shangfei, it is estimated that there will be more than 10 billion yuan in R&D investment in the next few years; with the continuous improvement of automobile emission standards, the demand for high-end equipment will be driven by the market, and auto parts companies will further reduce costs. Promote the localization of equipment. Investment in these user areas will drive the growth of the machine tool market.

Sheng Chunfang, a journalist from the machine tool media, commented: As China's macroeconomic growth has started to show a downward trend since last year, domestic manufacturing investment has tightened, demand is weak, coupled with factors such as the international financial crisis and the European debt crisis. The situation of the machine tool industry is very serious. From the statistics of more than 4,000 companies from the National Bureau of Statistics, as well as the statistics of 217 companies, the situation is not optimistic. The sharp decline in corporate sales has led to a substantial increase in stocks. From January to September 2012, the finished machine inventory of the machine tool industry grew by 22.7% year-on-year. Statistics from companies linked to the association show that stocks at the end of April after April 2012 have been maintained at about 15 billion yuan. In the harsh situation, the association also gave confidence. The Secretary-General Wang Liming stated that at present, the country’s project approvals for urban rail transit, aircraft, aviation, and automotive fields, the market demand for high-end equipment is still large, and the user industry will drive the effective growth of the machine tool market. “The future is bright and the road is twisty.” The various areas of the national economy have gradually changed from the past to the expansion mode of expansion of production capacity, to the intensional growth mode of product transformation and upgrading, and from the focus on quantity to the The pursuit of quality. With the change of user development methods, the machine tool industry will also enter a continuous, rational and stable growth stage. The transformation and upgrading of enterprises and the entire industry will become the highlight of 2013.

Whether in 2013, the machine tool industry will really welcome such a rapid development, let us wait and see.
