In the past ten years, China's machine tool industry has maintained a rapid growth trend. From the second half of 2008 to March 2009, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the growth rate of the machine tool industry has shown a downward trend. At the beginning of 2009, the state began to adopt a series of measures to implement loose monetary policy, increase investment in fixed assets, guide the purchase of advanced machine tools and equipment, and increase the introduction of advanced technologies, so that the machine tool industry and the overall economy are gradually supported by a series of supporting policies. Stop falling and rising.
Although in the past year, China's machine tool industry was affected by the financial crisis, compared to other countries in the world, China's machine tool market is still a boom.
The enviable “household demand” market of China's machine tool industry also means that the Chinese market will be a fierce battleground for machine tool companies all over the world. It also implies a torture of domestic machine tool companies. How to hold the cake in front of their own home?
In 2009, the demand, production and sales of machine tools in the world decreased sharply. This was reflected in the China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT2009) in April 2009 and the European International Machine Tool Show (EMO) in October 2009. Especially at the EMO exhibition, there was a phenomenon in which exhibitors were absent, the exhibition area was reduced, and the audience was reduced. In addition, according to the statistical information of national associations, Japan's machine tool output value decreased by 61% from January to September, Germany's 2009 output value decreased by about 60%, and the US equipment consumption in July 2009 decreased by 55.3% compared with the same period of last year. Since the first quarter of 2009, China's industry growth rate has rebounded. In the first three quarters of 2009, the output value of the industry has steadily increased. In July, August and September, the growth rate of output value reached double digits.
Why is the Chinese market landscape so good? The author believes that the growth of China's machine tool industry output value mainly depends on domestic demand and fixed asset investment.
Keeping the "Domestic Demand" Market China's machine tool industry has developed over the past 60 years. At present, it has a relatively complete system. The technologies of machine, electricity, liquid, gas and light have certain foundations. Low and mid-range products have been realized. Self-made matching is in the stage of continuous introduction, digestion and re-innovation of high-end products. Different from the “export-oriented” countries of Japan and Germany, as a developing country, China is in an accelerated development period. Therefore, the market of machine tool industry mainly belongs to “internal demand type”. This is the fundamental reason why China's machine tool industry has weathered the financial crisis smoothly.
In addition, the government actively responded to the crisis and adopted effective measures, such as timely introduction of 4 trillion yuan of domestic demand investment plans, a series of emergency aid policies and measures such as automobiles and home appliances going to the countryside to stimulate domestic demand, and introduced some tax benefit policies to expand imports and exports, etc., making China Quickly out of the impact of the economic crisis, and as a "master machine" of manufacturing, the machine tool industry has also benefited a lot.
Although the overall performance is stable, the impact of the financial crisis on different companies is also different. Mainly divided into three categories: First, talent quality, scientific research level, product quality, brand reputation and other indicators are good, at the same time, leading products with strong roads and strong resilience, less affected by the financial crisis; second, the above indicators are generally Enterprises, such enterprises are affected by the financial crisis, although the profits are seriously declining, but because they can adapt to the situation, timely adjust the product structure and open up emerging markets, so that enterprises can withstand. Third, enterprises with poor indicators and lack of resilience are extremely difficult to survive under the severe impact of the financial crisis, and some even face bankruptcy. According to the survey of 114 major machine tool enterprises in China by the China Machine Tool Industry Association in May 2009, the first category of enterprises accounted for 30%, the second category accounted for 60%, and the third category accounted for 10%.
In fact, this data is more optimistic. If we calculate according to the 5,876 machine tool enterprises counted by the National Bureau of Statistics, the distribution ratio of these three types of enterprises will change, because in addition to the main machine tool manufacturers, there are still many families. Workshop-style factories, these enterprises are backward in technology, product quality is not good, and their ability to resist risks is weak. Therefore, the proportion of third-class enterprises will increase greatly. In other words, although China's machine tool industry has a rich domestic demand market, it cannot be blindly optimistic.
Because, due to the shrinking demand in the world machine tool market, many powerful foreign companies are coveting the Chinese market. At present, there are many foreign-funded enterprises set up in China. They continue to improve and implement high-end products suitable for the Chinese market. Because they have already achieved localized production in China, they are quite competitive in the domestic market. For example, the United States' Haas Company (HAAS), Germany's DMG (DMG), Japan's Little Giant Company, etc., they entered China earlier, built factories in China, and trained a group of high-quality, research and development talents. At the same time, they also have a high degree of familiarity with the Chinese market. They are foreign-funded enterprises with absolute competitiveness. Another example is Fanuc of Japan and Siemens CNC Systems of Germany. They rely on the strong technical advantages in the field of numerical control systems and adopt the monopoly of technology to firmly control the domestic CNC system market.
Structural adjustment still needs to go deep The financial crisis has prompted China's machine tool industry to accelerate structural adjustment. On the one hand, the global machine tool market has shrunk, which has intensified competition in the Chinese market with unique scenery. In addition to the shortage of funds, users have to purchase key equipment with a small amount of funds, and put more stringent requirements on machine tool quality, processing precision and service quality. .
On the other hand, at present, China has about 7 million machine tools, but most of these products are low-end products, and the numerical control rate is low. It needs to be updated and upgraded. Therefore, during the financial crisis, the demand for ordinary manual machine tools has dropped significantly, while the demand for medium and high-end CNC machine tools is still strong.
In addition, in 2009, China's machine tool market demand has also undergone great changes: First, the country is vigorously developing energy, railway, aerospace, shipbuilding and other industries. The processing equipment for many large parts and components required by these industries is relatively lacking. The demand for advanced and heavy-duty CNC machine tools has soared.
Followed by the automotive industry. Due to the late development of China's automobile industry, especially in the vast rural areas, the demand for automotive products has broad prospects. Compared with the overcapacity of automobiles in developed countries such as the United States, Germany, and Japan, China's automobile industry is in a period of development. This also caused the demand for machine tools in the foreign automobile industry to drop greatly in 2009, while China has the opposite situation.
In addition, China's machine tool industry itself has many problems. The most prominent ones are: lack of strong supporting components such as basic components, numerical control systems, and knives; and scientific research institutions lacking talents and systems. Although many advanced technologies have been introduced for a long time, they have not been systematically absorbed, so many key Technology has not broken through.
At the same time, there are also disorderly competitions such as family workshop-style enterprises, product quality is not hard, low precision, poor reliability, and low-end product surplus. These problems have prompted the pace of structural adjustment of China's machine tool industry.
Enterprises that can sit back and relax in the financial crisis provide us with many lessons to learn from: First, reduce costs through scientific research and innovation, and second, strengthen personnel training, improve combat capabilities, and prepare for economic recovery and seizing the future market. For example, Siemens AG in Germany conducts systematic training and secondary learning every year, regardless of the operation of the company, and fully taps the potential of employees. The return of the company is also obvious.
Meeting the post-crisis era At present, the economic fundamentals are gradually improving, can it be safe and worry-free? In fact, after the crisis, the development trend of the machine tool industry is more multi-faceted.
First of all, the market demand will be developed to high precision, high efficiency, automation and environmental protection. The requirements for advanced product, reliability, stability, durability and after-sales service are getting higher and higher. The level of CNC machine tools has developed to a high level. The demand for high-precision, automated compound machining machines, five-axis control machining centers, robots and machine tools, heavy-duty, super-heavy, small, ultra-small CNC machine tools, various advanced control systems, and tooling components will continue to increase.
Secondly, the technical level of the machine tool, on the one hand, it is necessary to highlight the innovation of machine parts, tool materials and structure; on the other hand, it is to improve the strength, rigidity, shock resistance and heat distortion of the machine tool. For example, the grinding products of STUDER in Switzerland, the CNC lathes and machining centers of HARDING Company of the United States, most of the basic components have been made of synthetic resin materials (or artificial cement). At the same time, in order to improve the strength, heat resistance and wear resistance of the tool, many new tool materials have been invented. For example, at the Japan International Machine Tool Show JITMOF and the European Machine Tool Exhibition EMO, many new tool materials were exhibited. And new tools. There is also the processing technology of machine tools, which is the soul of machine tool design and one of the development trends of future innovation.
Finally, it is the scientific research ability and the construction of the talent team. During the financial crisis, many enterprises rely on scientific research and innovation to open up the market dilemma. At the European Machine Tool Show, Germany's DMG has an exhibition area of ​​1,554 square meters, with more than 30 high-tech advanced CNC machine tools exhibits, including 7 innovative products, which is enough to reflect the importance of innovative research and development in the market. In the financial crisis, although many enterprises are caught in a financial dilemma, many companies attach great importance to retaining various talents and continuously strengthen training. Once the economy improves, talents will exert tremendous energy and role.
