A Sharp Decline in Orders for German Machine Tool Industry Occurred

"With the demand end of last year the bubble finally burst in the financial crisis, a sharp decline in orders for German Machine tool industry." German Machine Tool Association, Xiweierke said recently. According to recent news published in other countries, the machine tool industry sales data showed that both the traditional or Emerging markets power tools, machine tool sales decline in both the avalanche occurred. Machine power devastated German Machine Tool Association recently released news that the German machine tool production this year is expected to fall 40%. In the 5 years after a record peak in 2009, the German machine tool production is expected to be restored to 1999 levels. German Machine Tool Association, Xiweierke said: "In the past two years, the German machine tool industry experience can only be used to describe special circumstances." Demand will continue to grow on the blind confidence of the international community led to increased demand for the manufacturing sector to record levels. Many large international consumer Business through a large-scale expansion of production capacity to make an early decision to lock the market share. Germany's experience is not the case. August 10, the United States Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the United States Machine Tool Distributors Association (AMTDA) statistics released in the first half. The first half of the total U.S. machine tool consumption amounted to 759 million U.S. dollars, higher than the same period in 2008 decreased 70.1%. In June, the U.S. machine tool production was 917 units, the chain added 58 units; consumption total 136,000,000 U.S. dollars, the chain increased 22%, but was 69.2% up year on year reduction. Metal cutting Machine Tools, for example, metal cutting machine tools in June amounted to 102 million U. S. dollars of consumption, the chain increased by 9.5%, but down 71.4%. Japan Machine Tool Industries Association (JMTBA) has also released the relevant statistical data. July 2009 the Japanese machine tool orders fell 72.2% year on year, the chain fell 1.5%. Of these, 72.7% decline in domestic orders and foreign orders fell 71.9%. The Italian machine tools, robots and automation Manufacturers Association (UCIMU-SISTEMIPERPRODURRE) research department statistics, compared to last year, first half of 2009, the Italian machine tool orders fell to 56.3% year on year. Which in the second quarter, the overall machine tool orders fell 63.1%, while domestic orders fell 62%, 64% decline in foreign orders. Germany, the United States, Japan and Italy are eight machines in the world powers. Shrinking demand in emerging markets Emerging markets also face the dilemma of shrinking demand. From the Indian Machine Tool Association, said the latest news, has experienced 30% for 5 consecutive years of market growth, the Indian machine tool industry is facing a sharp decline in customer demand resulting from declining demand. In this challenge, the Indian machine tool production in 2008 and 2007 to maintain a flat growth, of which 86% of metal cutting machine tools, metal forming machine tools rest. Has been the continuous development of the manufacturing sector has pushed India to the 2007 Big Machine 9 consumer market. Growth and demand for new industries to promote the demand for large machine tools, and pull the increase in imports. The metal processing machine tool concerned, imports accounted for 75% of total market share in India. Full CNC machine tool sales in India accounted for 65%. Throughout the industry, lathes, machining centers, special machine tools, presses and grinding machines in India in 2008 accounted for 80% of all machine tool production. China Machine Tool Industry Association executive vice president of Satisfying recent visit to Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia machine tool market, he said: "Russian machine tool industry under the most severe financial crisis, is now much better although not completely shut the factory, but only a week 2 to 3 working days, production decreased by 50%, and more, individual factories shut down for 2 to 3 months. " St. Petersburg, Russia's TBS factory was famous Leningrad Soviet-era machine tool plant, producing large, heavy-duty machine tools. By the financial crisis, the user less, underemployment, the original 400 employees, now only 10 people. While the takeover, production of some of the equipment needed for the Russian railway industry, such as not turning off the wheel, but also in the military industry, metallurgy industry, aircraft industry, etc. to provide some tools. On the other hand is also engaged in transforming the old machine. According to the Czech Republic Machine Tool Association estimates that in 2009 the Czech machine tool production could fall about 10%. Direct impact on China's exports Direct attack on the international market slump in China's export machine. According to customs statistics released this year, 1 to 6 months total exports of China's machine tool industry, 2.13 billion U.S. dollars, down 36.2%. Export side, China's machine tool main export markets in Europe, the United States, Japan and other economically developed body sharp drop in demand. By the international financial crisis, rose faster last year, India, Brazil, Russia, the machine tool market is down double-digit rate. Half, China's total machine tool exports increased by -31.3%, while total exports of machine tools a year ago an increase of 37.1%. While the international machine tool market as a whole was shrinking, but in many bright spots. This year, our large, heavy-duty machine tool imports and exports grew rapidly. In the first half, CNC milling, CNC grinding machines, CNC gear cutting machines were up more than 50%. Average unit price of large-scale machine tool exports doubled, heavy-duty machine tool export performance than other products. Meanwhile, the analysis is not difficult to see the Eastern European market potential market opportunities: First, the impact of financial crisis on the Polish small, because 70% of the machines imported. Polish economy this year may increase 1%, than Western European countries well; Secondly, there is a better basis for the Czech machine tool industry, tool technology level of its quality is better, and 70% of the machine tool exports. Despite the financial crisis, but the Czech machine tool industry production is relatively normal, they carried out extensive trade cooperation with China, on to seize the domestic machine tool market have a strong desire to rival China's concern; then followed by Russia, As the financial crisis, Russia's machine tool industry downturn is more severe, recovery will take some time. But the Russian Government has recognized the problem, developed a 5-year revitalization plan and started implementation of the project equally concerned about China's machine tool industry. In addition, the Eastern European countries is not very complete variety of Machine Tools, parts have been lacking, and our machine tool industry after years of rapid development, already have a considerable size, complete range of products, with certain technical level, especially large heavy-duty machine tool exports greater potential. Furthermore, our control system, ball screw, cutting tools and other accessory products, as long as product quality after-sales service to solve the problem, exports to these countries has great potential. It is understood that these countries are well-known machine tool enterprises such as the Czech Republic SKODA, TOSVarnsdorf, Poland, AVIA, etc. have built our company-owned or joint ventures, may wish to use the existing cooperation channels and gradually realize the diversification of China's machine tool market.
