How to Transform and Upgrade the Machine Tool Industry in China

At present, the development of the machine tool industry and the market demand are gradually turning to high-end, and the domestic traditional low-end machine tools can no longer meet the production demand in the long run, and urgently need to be upgraded.

At present, the major problems faced by the China's machine tool industry in the development process are serious product homogeneity, excess production capacity, and intensified crisis in the market industry. In this case, the transformation has become a common issue facing the entire industry.

The homogenization of market competition further exacerbates the fact that the machine tool is called the “parent machine” of the manufacturing industry. In China's basic industry development today, although considerable progress has been made in all walks of life, there are still some problems. For example, the machine tool industry has always faced that domestic machine tool products are mostly low-end products and high-end products are less involved. Most of them are occupied by foreign products. At the same time, there are emerging manufacturing companies in the country that have entered the industry. However, because there is no decisive breakthrough in technology, market competition in the entire industry has been exacerbated, and there have been phenomena of price and brand battles.

To reverse the current unfavorable situation and change the situation where the growth rate continues to fall, the only way out is to make full use of various resources, speed up the transformation and upgrade, and achieve a fundamental breakthrough from “can do” to “do it well”.

First of all, it is necessary to actively adjust the product structure and actively combine basic research with market demand so that more medium-to-high-end machine tool tools can be used in key areas such as aerospace, shipping, and energy. When the time is ripe, boldly abandon the traditional low-end products of “eat dinner” and concentrate more on precision parts, and provide equipment for high-end users.

Second, we must understand the market in depth and meet the needs of users in key areas. As the industrial development equipment industry, the machine tool industry needs to understand the market development trend and continuously improve the product quality in the development and production process.

Third, we must innovate business models to provide users with a full range of solutions. Machine tool companies must change their concepts, strive to improve the pertinence and applicability of equipment, and gradually develop a team of talented individuals who have the ability to provide users with complete solutions, and strive to achieve their role as a simple “product provider” to a “user technologist”. change.
