Analysis of the Development Advantages of Metal Cutting Machines

Metal cutting machine tools are an important category in machine tools and play an important role in processing and production. From the data in recent years, metal-cutting machine tools are also in the forefront of machine tool products. It can be said that the development trend of metal-cutting machine tools to a certain extent represents the development trend of the machine tool industry.

The development of the manufacturing industry

From 2017 onwards, words like “Made in China 2025,” “Intelligent Manufacturing,” and “Industry 4.0” appear frequently in front of people. These words are sending us a signal that China must vigorously develop the manufacturing industry. As an industrial master machine, machine tools are inextricably linked to many industries. With the development of the manufacturing industry, many upstream and downstream machine tools have ushered in opportunities for development, and have also brought a huge potential market to the machine tool industry, among which metal cutting machine tools have performed the most.

According to the 2017 data, the output of metal-cutting machine tools increased by 7.7% compared to 2016 (data for October 2017). The machine tool industry is warming up. From this point of view, the growth momentum of metal-cutting machine tools is likely to be maintained in the future. And from the downstream point of view of metal cutting machine tools, China's auto, electronics, shipbuilding and other industries are in the ascending stage, and there is still much room for growth in the demand for metal cutting machine tools. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis, the market for metal cutting machine tools in the future development of a huge space.

Policy support Metal cutting machine tool has a good development environment

In 2017, a number of policies named the development of the machine tool industry. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China in 2017 issued the "National New Industrialized Industrial Demonstration Base 2017 Work Points" clearly pointing out that it is necessary to rely on the national demonstration bases to play an important role in the "four basic" areas of the top ten areas including high-end CNC machine tools. The "Several Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Rejuvenation of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry" also put forward 16 major technical and equipment fields that China will focus on developing in the future. Among these policies, whether it is clearly stated that the development of the machine tool industry, or the development of downstream industries such as industrial robots, ships, rail transit, etc., are all very beneficial to the development of machine tools. The policy support has created a good development environment for the machine tool industry. The advantages of the machine tool industry are undoubtedly the development advantages of metal cutting machine tools.

Wide range of applications

The analysis of the external favorable factors for the development of metal-cutting machine tools has now been analyzed from the perspective of metal-cutting machine tools themselves. According to the data compiled by the Foresight Industry Research Institute, metal cutting machine tools account for more than 50% of the global machine tool product distribution, which indicates its wide application. In fact, the application of metal cutting machine tools is indeed very wide, as small as 3C digital, as large as aerospace, can see its presence. The wide range of applications has brought great market patience to metal-cutting machine tools, and it is difficult for single-industry market fluctuations to have a large impact on them. This feature gives the strong market competitiveness of metal cutting machine tools, so that it can adjust its product targeting according to the downstream development, so as to maintain their own development advantages.

The downstream market has a large demand, the policy environment is good, and its own application range is also very wide. These advantages make metal cutting machine tools have a lot of room for development. If China's metal cutting machine tools can improve the technical level and better meet the market demand, we believe that the future development will become better and better.
