According to the latest global machine tool data, in 2012, the global machine tool (excluding accessories) output value increased by 7% year-on-year, reaching 66.3 billion euros, a record high. Since the euro depreciated 8% against the US dollar and the Japanese yen in 2012 and the RMB depreciated by 10%, the total global machine tool output value in local currency increased by only 2%. Among them, Europe grew by 6%, the United States grew by 4%, and Asia fell by 1% after two consecutive years of sharp growth. In the euro, the United States and Asia increased by 11% and 7% respectively.

In terms of euros, the proportion of each region has remained basically unchanged. Asia accounts for 57.7% of global machine tool output, Europe accounts for 34.7%, and America accounts for 7.6%.

China is the largest importer of machine tools

In 2012, China imported machine tools worth 10.6 billion euros, accounting for 28.6% of global imports, making it the world's largest import market. Since 2007, China’s dependence on imports has fallen by 15 percentage points and is currently stable at 45%. There are two main reasons for this. First, China's industrial policy requires the use of domestic machine tools (Chinese manufacturers, joint ventures), preferential tariffs on imported high-tech investment products, and improved self-owned technical capabilities. Second, foreign machine tool enterprises. The number of new and expanded factories in the area has increased significantly.

In 2012, the output value of German machine tools basically reached the level of 2008, but consumption is still 25% lower than that of 2008. China’s output and consumption have decreased significantly after two years of rapid growth. Japan is basically stable, but it has not yet reached the pre-crisis level, and consumption is about 38% lower than the 2007 record. More dramatic is Italy, where consumption has fallen by more than half compared to 2007. Under the support of foreign businesses, output value is 20% lower than in 2007. The production of machine tools in Korea has continued to grow substantially. In 2009, due to the crisis, the record of innovation in 2012, market consumption has decreased. The United States experienced a two-year trough after the crisis, and in 2011 and 2012, like the phoenix nirvana, the machine tool consumption even exceeded the highest record in 2008.

German machine tool output has increased significantly

China is the world's largest machine tool producer. In 2012, its output value was 14.7 billion euros, accounting for 22.1% of global machine tools. After years of growth, it showed a 5% decline (compared to 6% in euros). Japan ranked second with an increase of 8% (zero growth in yen), an output value of 14.2 billion euros and 21.4%. Compared with the main competitors, German machine tools achieved a 10% increase, with an output value of 10.6 billion euros, accounting for 16%, ranking third. The top three machine tool producing countries account for 60% of the global total machine tool output.

Europe's second-largest machine tool producer, Italy's 4% increase, still lags behind South Korea's fifth-best growth, while Italy and South Korea account for 6.7% of global machine tool output. Taiwan, China, maintained its sixth position with a 6.4% share. The United States still ranked seventh, but the proportion rose to 5.8%. The huge demand in the domestic market led to a 7% increase in machine tool output (the euro was 15%). In Europe's third-largest producer, Switzerland's share fell slightly to 3.8%, and its output in 2012 also declined. Spain and Austria, ranked ninth and tenth, have a large gap with the top eight, accounting for 1.2%.

The world's first cutting technology in Japan

In 2012, the global cutting machine tool output value was 48.4 billion euros, and the forming machine tool was 16.6 billion euros. The proportion of total machine tool output was stable at 73% and 27%, and the year-on-year growth rate was 6% and 10% respectively. The growth rate of cutting machine tools dropped significantly. .
Among the world's major competitors, Japan has the highest proportion of cutting machine tools, reaching 87%; followed by Switzerland with 85% and Taiwan, China with 84%. Germany's cutting ratio is 74%, the same as the United States, South Korea rose to 73%, China fell to 67%; Italy's cutting machine tools and forming machine tools are equally divided, each accounting for 50%.

In 2012, Japanese cutting machine tools continued to rank first with an output value of 12.4 billion euros and 25.7%; the output value of Chinese cutting machine tools fell to 9.8 billion euros, accounting for 20.3%, ranking second; Germany's output value increased by 12%. The proportion rose to 16.2%, ranking third; Taiwan ranked 7.4% in Korea (accounting for 6.7%).

China's leading molding technology

In 2011, China's forming machine tools achieved a 46% increase. In 2012, forming machine tools developed better than cutting machines, achieving a production value of 4.9 billion euros and a market share of 27.2%; Germany ranked second with 2.8 billion euros and 15.5%; Italy is the third largest manufacturer of forming machine tools, with a focus on bending technology. In 2012, the output value was about 2.2 billion euros, accounting for 12.3%. Japan ranks fourth with a market share of 1.5 billion euros and 8.7%. Japan ranked fourth with 10.0%; South Korea ranked fifth, accounting for 6.7% of the same as cutting machine tools.

Japan's German monopoly machine tool export business

In 2012, the 34 countries (regions) of the German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association exported machine tools of 37.2 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 13%.

Japan continued to maintain its export champion position with a record of 9 billion euros, accounting for 24.2% of the total global machine tool exports; German machine tools narrowed the gap with Japan by 8.1 billion euros, 20%, accounting for 21.9%. Second. Japan and Germany have monopolized the global machine tool export business.

The third, fourth and fifth are Italy (3.4 billion euros, 9.2%), Taiwan (3.3 billion yen, 8.8%) and Switzerland (2.2 billion yen, 6.0%) . China is ranked eighth in South Korea and the United States, with an export value of 1.5 billion euros. It has not yet entered high-end equipment, and its share in the global machine tool market has risen to 3.9%. The huge domestic market consumes 90% of machine tools, and its export rate is only 10%. %. The highest export rate in the machine tool industry is in Switzerland, up to 89%; followed by 78% in Taiwan, 78% in Italy and 73% in Germany, which is an export-oriented industry. South Korea and the United States mainly meet the domestic market, with export rates of 45% and 42% respectively.

36% of global machine tool consumption in China

The calculation method of machine tool consumption is the machine tool output minus the export amount plus the import amount, also known as the market capacity. The global machine tool production value and consumption amount defined by the German Machinery Manufacturers Association is the same, that is, the machine tools produced and consumed in 2012 are 66.3 billion euros. Similarly, the world's export and import machine tools are 37.2 billion euros.

In terms of local currency, consumer demand for machine tools in the Americas grew the fastest, with an increase of 14%; in Europe it was only 1%, and in Asia it was down by 1%. Among the global machine tool consumption, Asia has the largest demand, accounting for 60%, Europe's share to 23.3%, and the Americas market share to 16.6% (see Table 4).

China is the world's largest machine tool consumer market. In 2012, demand was 23.9 billion euros, accounting for 36%, but consumption in local currency fell by 3% year-on-year; the United States rose to the second largest consumer market with a demand of 6.8 billion US dollars. The proportion reached 10.2%, the growth rate in US dollars was 19%; Japan's third, machine tool demand was 5.8 billion euros, accounting for 8.8%, up 1% year-on-year; Germany fell to fourth, market capacity was 4.9 billion US dollars, accounting for Compared with 7.3%, it was down 2% year-on-year; the fifth largest market in Korea accounted for 5.5%, the consumption in Korean won was down 10%; the Indian consumption in rupees increased by 4%, ranking 3.1%. Sixth; Italian market demand fell by 15%, from the fifth decline three years ago to the seventh, accounting for 2.5%; Russia and Mexico also developed very fast: Russia rose to the eighth with a 2.4% share, the dollar calculation The market demand increased by 19%. Driven by the international automobile industry investment and the continued transfer of US companies, Mexico entered the top ten, with the peso calculation increasing by 33%, accounting for 2.1%, second only to the ninth China. Taiwan (2.2%).
