Market Characteristics of Domestic Machine Tools at Present Stage

In the first half of this year, China's total import of metal processing machine tools was US$5.26 billion, a decrease of about 17% year-on-year, and the magnitude of the decline was very rare, reflecting the sluggish demand for total machine tool market in China. At the same time, the number of high-end machine tools that Germany, Italy, and the United States exported to China in the first half of the year has maintained a substantial increase. From a long-term development perspective, we have reason to hold optimistic expectations for the Chinese machine tool market. Based on the following considerations:

First of all, the Chinese economy has not changed its long-term good fundamentals. The process of industrialization, informatization, new-type urbanization and agricultural modernization in China is far from being completed. The development process in the central and western regions is still in its infancy. These processes will inevitably provide broad space for China's economic growth, and at the same time it will inevitably provide a huge and sustained market demand for the machine tool industry. Therefore, China will maintain its position as the world's first machine tool market for a long time.

Secondly, the new Chinese government is determined to seek new development momentum for the Chinese economy through reforms, and to promote economic restructuring and structural adjustment by means of reforms so as to realize the long-term sustainable development of the Chinese economy. Observers at home and abroad have noticed that since the establishment of the new government in China, expectations for reforms have been significantly enhanced, and the pace of reforms has been markedly accelerated. In many important areas, reforms have begun to enter deeper waters. This kind of positive policy orientation will undoubtedly stimulate the vitality of social innovation and enhance the power of economic development. This will inevitably provide sustained market demand and a favorable industrial development environment for the development of the real economy, including the machine tool industry.

Thirdly, despite the economic downturn in the first half of this year, the Chinese government has not introduced a large-scale stimulus plan but has issued a series of more comprehensive measures. These measures are not only conducive to current economic growth, but also conducive to long-term structural adjustment. Now, the effect of the above-mentioned comprehensive measures has begun to appear. Since the beginning of August, the Chinese economy has shown signs of stabilization. The Chinese government is confident of achieving the goals of economic and social development throughout the year and maintaining the momentum of long-term sustainable economic development.

China's economic environment and China's machine tool market have taken place and are still undergoing comprehensive and profound changes. This change not only forces China's machine tool industry to adjust and transform, it also poses new challenges to global machine tool manufacturers, and also provides New development opportunities. It can be predicted that the changes that have occurred and are taking place will reshape the future new pattern of the Chinese machine tool market. Therefore, the theme of the CCMT2014 exhibition was identified as: new changes. New future.

Under the new situation, the CCMT2014 exhibition will set up a brand-new high-quality display platform for the industry, which will create a good interactive high-end communication platform for exhibitors and users. The outstanding feature of the current CCMT is the significant increase in the level of internationalization. The exhibition area of ​​overseas exhibitors will exceed one quarter of the total exhibition area. Currently, nearly 200 exhibitors from 18 countries and regions have applied for booths, including many well-known companies. Metalworking Online will also participate in this exhibition as an important online media.

We express our sincere gratitude to the majority of Chinese and foreign exhibitors for their attention to CCMT2014 and look forward to exhibiting the exhibits that are most suitable for the needs of the Chinese market. During the exhibition, the organizers will continue to hold various events such as high-level forums, international exchanges, and technical seminars. All activities will be innovated or upgraded. Welcome everyone to pay attention and actively participate.
