Chinese machine tools are difficult to match

The machine tool industry is the basic industry of the national economy and the national defense industry. At present, China's machine tool consumption and imports are the first in the world. With the rapid and steady development of China's economy, the whirlwind of "Made in China" has become more and more fierce, and the wave of investment and export is on the rise. The capacity expansion of China's machine tool market is vividly in sight. For the foreseeable future, the status of the world's No. 1 machine tool consumer is still Will be unbreakable.

In the past two years, CNC machine tool brands in Japan, Taiwan Province, Europe, the United States, and South Korea have launched an aggressive offensive against the domestic machine tool market. According to statistics, in 2004, the number of machine tools imported from Japan reached 1.97 billion US dollars, an increase of 58.8%, and imports from Taiwan were 1.21 billion US dollars, ranking second. Only the machine tools imported from the above two markets accounted for the total value of imports in the current year. 53.7%. In addition, imports from Germany were 860 million US dollars, an increase of 51.6%, and imports from the United States were 480 million US dollars, an increase of 75.3%.


The huge market capacity has not been developed to produce first-class production capacity. With the continuous and rapid growth of imported machine tools, the fragile competitiveness of China's machine tool industry is unobstructed. In 1999, China's machine tool imports were 1.51 billion US dollars, and then rose linearly. By 2004, the import value had reached 5.92 billion US dollars, four times that of 1999. In 2004, the export value was only 540 million US dollars, less than one tenth of the year's imports. The import and export deficit reached 5.38 billion US dollars, an increase of 1.63 billion US dollars over 2003.

On the one hand, the expansion of the deficit indicates that the demand for fixed assets investment in China's machinery manufacturing industry is heating up, and the intensity of technological transformation is increasing. On the other hand, it also reflects that it is difficult for imported machine tools in terms of variety, quality and reliability. There are big gaps and shortcomings in the courts.

The gap behind the machine tool's deficit, the import and export situation of the machine tool industry reflects the wave of economic globalization in China's machine tool industry. It is difficult to sit back and relax, and the level of the core competitiveness of the industry itself is difficult to keep up with the needs of the overall national economic development. It is an indisputable fact that China's machine tool technical indicators, processing accuracy and reliability are at a disadvantage in international competition:

The first is the structural gap. The industrial concentration of CNC machine tools in China is low, the production capacity of popular CNC machine tools is small, the number of enterprises producing medium and low-grade CNC machine tools is large, the production of high-end CNC machine tools is small, the development of functional components is lagging behind, and the degree of industrialization is low. China's imported machine tools are dominated by CNC machine tools and machining centers with high technical content, while the export is dominated by ordinary machine tools. In 2004, China imported a total of 7,168 sets of vertical and horizontal machining centers, valued at 790 million US dollars, up 59.2% and 50.1% respectively; imported CNC lathes 460 million US dollars, 5.8 times that of ordinary lathes; imported CNC milling machines 300 million US dollars, The ordinary milling machine is 5.1 times; the imported CNC boring machine is 6.2 times that of the ordinary boring machine.

In contrast, the number of vertical and horizontal machining centers exported in 2004 was only 101 units, only 2.62 million US dollars, less than three thousandths of the import value; the export of CNC lathes was 30 million US dollars, less than one third of the export of ordinary lathes; The CNC milling machine is 1.75 million US dollars, which is only 9% of the export of ordinary milling machine; the export CNC boring machine is only 40% of the ordinary boring machine.

The second is the price gap. The average price of imported machine tools in China is much higher than the average export price. In 2004, the average import price of CNC lathes was US$57,000 per unit, which was four times the average price of CNC lathes exported during the same period. The average import price of CNC milling machines was US$85,000 per unit, which was five times the average price of CNC milling machines exported during the same period. The average import price of the processing center was US$74,000 per unit, which was 2.7 times the average price of the export vertical processing center.

The third is the technology gap. Although some key technologies of China's CNC machine tool industry have made major breakthroughs in recent years, the overall technology, process and performance are still lagging behind. The average time between failures (MTBF) of foreign machine tools is more than 1000 hours, while the domestically produced ones are mostly in 500 hours. The rapid development of China's automobile and parts manufacturing industry, aviation manufacturing industry and mold manufacturing industry is the main driving force for the growth of machine tool consumption. At present, the high-tech products represented by CNC machine tools in China are far from satisfying the needs of users in terms of variety, performance, quality and reliability. As a result, the competitiveness of domestic machine tools is not strong, and the market share is declining.

Face the gap and catch up. If China's machine tool development can be rest assured, it must be tailored to its local competitive advantage.

First, we must steadily and steadily continue to play the existing comparative advantages and increase the development of ordinary machine tools and popular CNC machine tools;

The second is to learn while playing, through the introduction of foreign advanced technology and management experience, so that more foreign machine tool manufacturers in China to set up factories or set up representative offices, relying on the "technology spillover" effect to improve the development potential of China's machine tool industry;

The third is to rush to beat and beat, rely on science and technology to transform traditional industries, further improve the quality and industrial scale of CNC machine tools, improve the quality, reliability and service level of machine tool products, actively explore new markets and create their own brands.
