At the same time that international competition has intensified, the demand for CNC machine tools in China has remained strong. "Since 2000, driven by huge market demand, domestic CNC machine tools have grown at an average annual rate of 30%. Since 2003, China has become the world's largest machine tool consumer for seven consecutive years. It is currently the world's largest CNC machine tool. "Importing countries." Luo Baihui, a researcher at the China International Economic Development Research Center, said that at present, China is in the peak period of equipment replacement and the critical period of industrial upgrading, and the demand for CNC machine tools, especially high-grade CNC machine tools, will still maintain over 30%. With the high growth level, it is expected that this growth rate will remain for 35 years.

Luo Baihui believes that the development of the machine tool industry can be divided into two steps: by 2015, China's production of high-end CNC machine tools will basically meet domestic needs, and product performance will basically reach the international advanced level; by 2020, a complete industrial chain of CNC machine tools will be formed and domestic CNC systems will be established. And accessories such as functional components basically meet the needs of domestic hosts. Domestic high-end CNC machine tools occupy a dominant position in the domestic market (machine tools, valves, and pumps), and have several machine tool companies (groups) that have mastered core intellectual property rights, have international competitiveness and influence, and have achieved great power production from machine tool manufacturing countries to machine tools. change.

Of particular note is that the world-famous machine tool companies have distributors and production bases in China (with SKD companies to avoid tax). Such as the United States Harding company, specializing in the production of small CNC lathes and machining centers, in recent years, the rapid expansion of production capacity in China, plans to increase from the monthly production of 100 to 300, and throughout the country to set up more than 10 with 4S shop nature of the sales service shop . Beijing Fanuc joint venture company, the highest annual output in China in the past few years is 52,000 sets of various CNC systems and servo, spindle system, is now ready to engage in a new phase of the project, reaching a monthly capacity of 20,000 sets, and market segments, Conduct secondary development and increase corresponding sales and service personnel.

Although large-scale machine tool manufacturers in China are ranked top in international machine tool companies, such as Shenyang Machine Tool Group ranked first, Dalian Machine Tool Group ranked fourth. From the aspect of face engineering, China's machine tool industry has leapt to the top in the world, but the industry and users themselves have a scale. For example, the top ten German DMG companies are composed of three machine tool factories. Each factory has only two or three hundred people or a little more. In total, there are nearly one thousand employees, and it is owned by Shenyang Machine Tool Group and Dalian Machine Tool Group. Compared to tens of thousands of employees, is it happy or sad?

"Most companies in the current machine tool industry rely on lowering product prices to gain market access. The consequences are low product prices, low added value, and low profits. Companies do not have enough funds to continue to develop." Luo Baihui pointed out that with the development of the industry And the upgrading of competition, improve product technology content, with independent patents, design, focus on brand building and marketing is the best choice for long-term business development. The development of China's machine tool industry needs to be guided by market demand, with the development of CNC machine tools as the leading tool, the host as the leader, and the perfect supporting system as the foundation, and strive to realize the early realization of CNC machine tool products from low-end to high-end, from primary product processing to high-precision product manufacturing. The transformation.
