Sino-German machine tool trade has a significant two-way growth trend

At the China International Machine Tool Show, one of the world's four largest machine tool exhibitions that ended recently, the German pavilion became a highlight. A total of 156 companies represented the German machine tool industry, with an exhibition area of ​​8,600 square meters, which showcased innovative products and solutions for the Chinese industrial sector, including machine tools, lasers and non-lasers for the cutting and non-cutting industries. Gold processing technology, control systems, cutting tools, production metering and clamping tools.

Hein, the marketing director of the German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association, said that German machine tool manufacturers have such a high "enthusiasm", mainly due to the significant two-way growth in Sino-German machine tool trade in recent years.

According to Hein, in 2010, China ranked 7th among the important machine tool suppliers in the German industrial sector. Although the international financial crisis in 2009 slowed the upward trend of China's machine tool supply, in 2010 this supply returned to the growth track. Germany imported about 74 million euros of machine tools from China, an increase of 50% over 2006, including parts, accessories and lathes.

China is the world's largest machine tool market and the largest importer of machine tools. In 2010, 21% of China's imported machine tools were from Germany. This means that Germany is the second largest machine tool supplier in China's industrial sector after Japan. German machine tool exports have doubled since 2006 and have been relatively less affected by the international financial crisis. Since the end of 2009, there has been double-digit growth in orders, and in the second half of 2010, there were even There has been a three-digit increase in the month. For the whole year of 2010, the order book volume increased by an average of 85%, and the latest machine tool delivery reached 1.7 billion euros. The German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association expects German machine tool production to increase by 30% this year, creating the largest increase in the history of the industry. This uptrend is currently mainly supported by molding technology that accounts for 30% of the German machine tool industry, including machining centers, grinding machines, lapping machines, polishing machines and gear processing machines. Particularly prominent in this regard is sheet metal processing, which is capable of operating with relatively short lead times compared to marking engineering-oriented pressing techniques.

This change has occurred in the context of the adjustment of the global machine tool industry. The international financial crisis has triggered the adjustment and restructuring of the global machine tool industry. In 2010, global machine tool production increased by 25% compared with the previous year, and the driving force for growth basically came from the Asian region. The production in South Korea, Japan, China and Other countries all achieved double-digit growth. The ranking of the world's largest machine tool producers has changed significantly, and China has risen to the top for the first time. In 2011, according to the calculations of international economic experts, global machine tool consumption will increase by 20%, of which three-fifths of sales will appear in Asia.

The machine tool industry is a demand-driven industry. For example, changes in manufacturing materials will drive the machine tool industry to innovate, optimize the production process, and design special equipment. According to Wolfgang Horn, vice president of global technology, from the future development trend, machine tool enterprises should turn from simple manufacturers to solution providers to provide complete solutions in production technology. “German machine tool manufacturers have an advantage in this regard”, Hein introduced, they can transfer production skills from one field to another, such as using high-precision production technology to meet the very strict and highly specialized needs of related products. Medical technology industry and aviation industry.

WolfgangHorn believes that the Chinese machine tool industry, which has a good technical foundation and is developing very fast, needs more innovations to promote technological advancement to adapt to the development of the world machine tool industry. Hein also acknowledges this point. He said that German machine tool manufacturers attach great importance to innovation. Most German medium machine tool manufacturers have invested a considerable percentage of their R&D investment. A very obvious example is faced during the international financial crisis. With the decline in orders, they still retain a large number of technical R&D personnel and invest in the research and development of new products. It is this stage of innovation that has brought about a significant increase in orders in the past two years. WolfgangHorn suggested that while Chinese machine tool companies compete with German companies, the two sides can also carry out extensive cooperation, such as establishing a technology base, jointly developing and manufacturing machine tool products, and expanding into more emerging markets.
