China Machine Tool Industry Association held a press conference on the IMTS2018 site

On September 12, 2018, the China Machine Tool Industry Association held a press conference at the IMTS2018 (2018 US International Manufacturing Technology Exhibition) in Chicago, USA. Executive Vice President Mao Yufeng, Secretary General Wang Liming and China International Exhibition Center Group Corporation President He Cailong attended the conference. The conference invited representatives from various countries and regions, representatives from associations or related organizations from Germany, Switzerland, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Taiwan, and more than 60 exhibitors from all over the world.

The conference was hosted by Wang Liming, and Mao Yufeng made a press release.

Mao Yufeng mainly introduced three aspects, the situation of China's machine tool consumption market, the operation of China's machine tool industry, and the preparation of CIMT2019 and CCMT2020. He said that in recent years, China's machine tool consumption market has shown a recovery growth trend due to China's economic recovery and new dynamism. Affected by this, the operation of China's machine tool industry and the import of related commodities also showed a significant growth trend. Overall, the machine tool tool consumer market and industry have gradually changed from the operational characteristics of “decreased total demand and rapid structural upgrade” before 2015 to “the total demand has stabilized and the structure has rapidly upgraded”. This new feature will continue for a while. period.

From the quarterly growth rate of China's GDP, the GDP growth rate in each quarter of 2017 showed a “high before low” process, which was related to the implementation of policy ideas such as prevention and control of financial risks, leverage reduction and economic restructuring. Affected by the decline in investment growth in the second half of 2017, the GDP growth rate in the first half of 2018 showed a slight decline. According to comprehensive analysis, China's macroeconomic operation will show a stable trend in the second half of 2018, and will also promote the growth of demand for China's machine tool and tool consumer market.

For the latest changes in the Chinese machine tool market, Mao Yufeng said that according to the data updated in June 2018, the demand for metal cutting machine tools will show a low point in 2018, but with the arrival of the in-service machine tool renewal cycle and new kinetic energy Appeared, after 2019, the demand index showed a steady upward trend. Metal forming machine tools are showing a steady growth trend, and as the value of machine tools increases, the growth rate of consumption will become more significant. Mao Yufeng also analyzed and judged the investment trends in the user field and the future trends and hotspots of domestic machine tool consumption requirements for the participants' reference.

According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of China's metal processing machine tools in the first half of 2018 was about 13.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 11.5%. Among them, the output of metal cutting machine tools was about 7.5 billion US dollars, an increase of 13.6%; the output of metal forming machine tools was about 6 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.9%. From the above data, China's machine tool consumption market showed a significant growth in the first half of 2018.

Regarding the future development of the industry, Mao Yufeng said that considering the comprehensive impact of factors such as industrial operation, import and export trade and changes in the RMB exchange rate, it is expected that China's machine tool consumption market will show a recovery growth in 2018. Among them, the output of machine tool tools maintained a small growth, the structural upgrade within the industry was further significant, and the import of machine tools showed a significant growth trend.

The meeting informed the preparations for CIMT2019 (the 16th China International Machine Tool Show) and CCMT2020 (the 11th China CNC Machine Tool Exhibition) hosted by China Machine Tool Industry Association. Affected by the upgrading of China's machine tool consumption market demand, the influence of these two machine tool tools and sisters exhibitions is increasing. From the perspective of exhibition effect, scale, specialization, international level and attractiveness, it has become a famous brand exhibition in the exhibition of machine tools in China and the world. CIMT2019, which will be held at the China International Exhibition Center (New Hall) in Beijing on April 15-20, 2019, is expected to have a total exhibition area of ​​140,000 square meters. The theme of the exhibition is “Integration and Win-Win, Smart Future”. China Machine Tool & Tool Industry Association will continue to uphold the concept of building exhibitions for domestic and international economic and trade exchanges in the field of machine tools, and provide quality services to exhibitors and visitors. CCMT2020, which will be held at Shanghai New International Expo Center on April 7-11, 2020, will continue to improve its internationalization and international influence, and will become another display window in the field of machine tools in China.

After the press release, the main leaders attending the conference answered questions from reporters.

The IMTS2018 exhibition, which opened on September 10th, welcomed many people from around the world. The exhibition was held at the McCormick Place in Chicago with the theme of “Where, Dreamers & Doers, Connect; Creative Innovation Inspiration Exchange”. . According to statistics from the organizers, more than 2,500 exhibitors from 33 countries and regions participated in the exhibition, and more than 110,000 visitors from 117 countries and regions registered to visit. According to the organizer, the scale of the exhibition and the number of exhibitors reached a new high. In order to facilitate the visitors, the organizers will divide the exhibits into 10 exhibition areas according to different categories, including: gold cutting machine tools, tools and fixtures, CNC systems and devices, CAD and CAM, EDM (Electrical Discharge), laser technology, additive processing. (3D printing), gear processing technology, functional components, environmental protection and quality inspection equipment.
