China Numerical Control Machine Industry Production & Marketing Demand and Transformation Analysis Report, 2013-2017

As the basis of manufacturing industry the equipment manufacturing is named “industrial master”. The high-end numerical control machine and basic manufacturing equipment are necessities for the industry modernization needed facilities and equipments. And the performance, quality and quantity have become a significant sign of a country’s industrialization level and national power. The equipment manufacturing countries of strength in the world, such as America, Japan and Germany, think highly of controlling the commanding height of high-end manufacturing equipment, upgrading traditional equipment manufacturing industry by high-tech, supporting high-end manufacturing and keeping industry advantages.

Currently, either the output value of machine tool or the production of numerical control machine in China ranks first in the world. The industry total output value and product sales volume of China machine tool industry in 2010 maintain a higher growth rate, among which the production of metal processing machine breaks through 1 million. China will still be the biggest producer and consumer of machine tool in the world. The production of China machine tool in 2011 is 1.0984 million; industry total output value is 660.65 billion Yuan with a year-on-year growth rate of 32.1%, among which number of numerical control machine is 272,100 with a growth rate of 15.26%. The numerical control machine has become the mainstream for machine consumption. Moreover, the high-end numerical control machine is kind of high-end equipment manufacturing with features of high-tech content and high-tech added value. It is the major target to develop strategic new industry. Market space for high-end numerical control machine is huge in the future.

The grade, category and production capacity of numerical control machine always directly reflect the technology and economic national power of a country. As the strategic equipment of national defence and military, the numerical control machine is the most significant manufacturing method of various weaponries and assurance of the equipment modernization for national defence and military. The output value of the 28 major CNC cutting machine producing countries and regions in 2010 reaches 66.3 billion Yuan which is 21% more than that of 54.7 billion Yuan in 2009. During the recovery of global CNC cutting machine industry, China takes a leading position and become the biggest global CNC cutting machine consumer and importer for many years.

In current years, the domestic machine tool industry benefits from the macro environment of national promoting equipment manufacturing and strong market demand, and with a situation of technology tremendous development and enthusiastic investment. The central government attaches great importance to promote the equipment manufacturing and the “twelfth five years” plan has listed promotion equipment manufacturing as a meaningful content for industrial structure upgrade. And the CNC cutting machine has become one of the significances for promoting equipment manufacturing. According to

The “Twelfth Five Years” Plan for High-End Equipment Manufacturing (Exposure Draft), development mainstream in future China will be high-speed, accurate and compound CNC metal cutting machine, Heavy CNC metal cutting machine, CNC special processing machine, large-scale CNC forming stamping equipment and related accessories of numerical control machine, etc.

High-end product demand of numerical control machine is strong and related numbers grows in a fast speed presently. The total consumption proportion of numerical control machine to machine increases up to over 60% and will continuously fast develops during the “twelfth five years”. On the other hand, the demand class is increasing too. With the development of high-end new products of key field in the promotion equipment manufacturing, numerical control machine requirement from every field will higher. For example, large sum of high-speed, accurate, high-efficient and professional numerical control machines are needed for the processing manufactures of large-scale thermal power generation and nuclear power generating units, large-scale chemical equipments, large-scale marine transportation ships, large-scale high-speed train, new railway and rail transit auto, etc., especially for the development of new weapon, ships, aircraft, satellites and missile.

China has exceeded Germany and become the biggest machine tool market in the world. And the numerical control machine has become the mainstream machine consumption. Thus the numerical control machine market in China is huge. It is roughly predicted that by the end of the “twelfth five years”, the 2015, total asset of China numerical control machine industry is hopefully to break through 240 billion Yuan, and 180 billion Yuan for sales revenue, 12 billion Yuan for total profit which year-on-year growth rate is over 10%. In the meantime, technology of China numerical control machine is greatly improved that by the end of the “twelfth five years”, self innovation capability of high-end numerical control machine and basic manufacturing equipment special parts will obviously improve. Thus the core technologies with independent intelligent property will promote the overall technical level to be advancing in the world. Therefore, the mainframe, CNC system and functional parts will be medium-scale, and high-end for the whole industry. China will develop some key equipments which meet the global advancing level. Market share of high-speed and accurate horizontal-vertical processing centers and numerical control machine which are in large import volume will be obviously increases.
