Machine tools, foreign trade, steady and rapid development, grinding tools are popular

At present, the world economy is in the recovery phase after the financial crisis, and the economic growth rate will gradually recover. According to the International Monetary Fund, the GDP of developed economies will increase by about 2.4% in 2011, and the GDP of developing countries will increase by about 6.6%. Luo Baihui, head of the International Association of Mould & Hardware Plastics Industry Suppliers, said that the international market demand will increase in 2011, especially the expansion of economic and technological cooperation between China and emerging economies and developing countries, and the establishment of six ASEAN countries. The free trade zone has signed free trade zone agreements with Chile, Peru, Singapore and other countries. The international economic environment is conducive to the steady and rapid development of China's machine tool industry.

However, due to the lack of momentum in the recovery of the world economy, many deep-seated contradictions and problems have yet to be resolved. Coupled with the impact of the European sovereign debt crisis, the US economy is weak and the uncertainty of economic development is increasing. At the same time, the supply and demand of resource products in the international market are still tight, some raw material prices may rise, and the appreciation of the RMB exchange rate and the increase in labor costs in China will all increase the export cost of machine tools. What needs special attention is that in the economic downturn, trade protectionism in various countries will continue to emerge. These will have an adverse impact on the expansion of China's machine tool industry.

The main objectives of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Five-Year Plan on the economic and social development of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" pointed out that "the economy should develop steadily and rapidly", "the strategic adjustment of the economic structure has made significant progress", and "the income of urban and rural residents has generally increased rapidly". . The machine tool industry is faced with the important task of adjusting the economic structure and transforming the development mode. It is necessary to vigorously develop emerging strategic industries, develop high-end CNC machine tools and their functional components, automated complete production lines, and intelligent control systems. With the adjustment of industrial structure, the product structure is gradually optimized, and the import and export structure of machine tools will also change.

Based on the above situation, Luo Baihui believes that the import and export of machine tool industry will continue to grow in 2011, and the structure of import and export products will improve. On the import side, the proportion of imports of heavy-duty machine tools and expensive machine tools may continue to decline, and the import of key components required for domestic enterprises to develop high-end machine tools and large-scale machine tools will increase. In terms of exports, in addition to a small number of high-end and heavy-duty machine tools, there may be breakthroughs, entering the international market, low-end CNC machine tools, high-quality ordinary machine tools suitable for users' needs, as well as metal cutting tools and abrasive tools, forging and stamping tools, machine tool accessories. Wait, it will still be welcomed by the international market and users.
