The demand for high-end tooling in China is increasing

Judging from the final statistical data, only some small and medium-sized enterprises producing low-end products in the second half of 2011 have experienced significant declines in orders, and production and sales have fallen into adverse situations, However, most high-end products have continuously connected with strong growth. The momentum, combined, continued to link high-speed growth throughout the year and created a new instant. The Eastern and Western Branch of the China Machine Tool and East-West Industries Association issued the economic operation data of the domestic cutting tool industry in 2011. The total consumption of cutting tools in the domestic market reached a record high, reaching 40 billion yuan. Yuan, which has increased by 7 billion yuan over the total consumption of 33 billion yuan in 2010, increased by 21.2% year-on-year. Among them, the total sales volume of domestically-made cutting tools was 26.5 billion yuan. a year-on-year increase of 20.5%, and the total amount of imported tool sales was 13.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.7%. The data provided by the East-West branch also shows that in 2011 China's domestic production of cutting tools reached 35 billion yuan, and export cutters reached 8.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.4%

Judging from the final statistical data, only some small and medium-sized enterprises producing low-end products in the second half of 2011 have experienced significant declines in orders, and production and sales have fallen into adverse situations. However, most high-end products have continuously connected with strong growth. The momentum, combined, has continued to link high-speed growth throughout the year and created new brands and services. It has become the key for some companies to receive customer support and recognition in the market situation change in the second half of 2011, and some domestic cutting tool companies with innovative skills are also Walking in front of their peers, not only does sales performance contrarian, but it also becomes a tense force that supports the industry's growth throughout the year.

"What is worthy of carefulness is that in terms of market occupancy, domestic tools still account for 66.25%, firmly occupying the leading position in the market consumption, but only about 2 billion high-end products with domestic tools are comparable to imported tools. Yuan, less than 10% of the total amount. At similar growth rates, the growth in support of domestic sales of cutting tools is still dominated by medium- and low-end products. “Shen Zhuangxing, the glorious chairman of the East-West branch of the China Machine Tool and East-West Industries Association, performed in an inheritance interview. Compared with imported products whose major products are mainly high-efficiency tools, the high-end products of domestic tools still account for only a small portion.

However, it can be seen from the statistical data that the demand for high-end cutting tool products is still very strong, and the demand for modern high-efficiency tooling in the domestic manufacturing industry is growing at a much higher rate than low-end tools. "Not only the market share of high-end cutting tool products is increasing, but also the proportion of high-end products made in domestic tools is increasing. "Shen Zhuangxing think so.

On the one hand, in the traditional manufacturing industry, the dual efforts of the high cost of manpower and the improvement of production efficiency have led many companies to actively accept advanced machine tools, and the demand for tools in the domestic manufacturing industry is moving from the middle to the low end. High-end is the main transfer, and the demand for modern high-efficiency tools will increase significantly. On the other hand, due to factors such as cost pressures, the domestic high-end manufacturing industry gradually shifts the department’s efficient tool orders from foreign companies to domestic tool companies, replacing them with domestic tools with comparable performance. Imports are also becoming a trend.

"In recent years, domestic tools have done a good job of replacing imports. Although there is a shortage of domestic tools in terms of service and tool life, the quality and accuracy of the links are comparable to those of imported products. Shen Zhuangxing stated that "user companies will not use domestic tools at the risk of affecting the production of beats and quality, and they can probably choose to replace imported products, which is obviously reaching a certain level." ”

In fact, after nearly ten years of growth, the manufacturing skills of some domestic tool companies have been greatly promoted, but it is difficult to abandon the low-end tool market in a good market environment. “From the second half of last year to the end of the current year, the continuous production and order landing is both a truth to be faced and the opportunity for the domestic tool companies to start a new phase of growth. "Shen Zhuanghang" mentioned at the end, "From the perspective of the product distribution environment of some companies in the first half of this year, the sales of some companies did not show much growth compared to the same period, and they even fell. But with regard to product layout, The proportion of ordinary tools is gradually declining. The proportion of high-end cutting tool products represented by contemporary high-efficiency tools has gradually increased, and the profits generated thereby have increased. This is undoubtedly a welcome sign for the domestic tool industry. When it comes to planning for the next five years, the growth of high-end tools will go a step further.
