With the support of national policies and the continuous pursuit of innovation by some enterprises, China's CNC machine tool industry has developed rapidly, and the scale of the industry is also expanding. The development trend of CNC machine tool industry in 2023 is analyzed.

As an industrial "mother machine", the technical level of CNC machine tools plays an important role in improving the level of manufacturing industrialization. Due to the impact of the epidemic and energy supply constraints, the market size of China's CNC machine tool industry declined slightly in 2020, with a market size of 247.3 billion billion yuan, down 24.4 percent year-on-year. Benefiting from the strong recovery of China's manufacturing industry after the epidemic, the machine tool industry equipment renewal needs to support the bottom and machine tool localization substitution and other favorable conditions, China's machine tool industry began to pick up, 2021 China's CNC machine tool industry market scale to resume growth, up to 268.7 billion yuan, 2022 CNC machine tool industry scale will reach 295.7 billion yuan.

In terms of product distribution, China's CNC metal-cutting machine tools are the largest in 2020, accounting for 53.8 percent of the overall CNC machine tool industry; followed by CNC metal-forming machine tools, accounting for 28.5 percent of the overall industrial scale; CNC special processing machine tools account for 16.8 percent of the overall industrial scale.

From the perspective of investment and financing, there was a total of 1 investment and financing event in China's CNC machine tool market in 2021, with the investment and financing amount of 0.617 billion yuan, the highest level in recent years. The continued prosperity of the capital market has driven the entire industry chain.

From the point of view of import and export prices, except for 2020, China's imports of CNC machine tools are maintained at more than 10,000 units, and the trend of changes in import amount is basically consistent with the trend of changes in quantity. In 2021, China imported 13694 CNC machine tools, and the import amount was 17.27 billion yuan. In terms of price, the average import price of CNC machine tools in China remained above 1 million yuan/set, reaching 1.933 million yuan/set in 2019, the highest since 2014, and the average import price in 2020 and 2021 was 1.64 million yuan/set and 1.261 million yuan/set, respectively. In 2020 and 2021, the average export price of China's CNC wakeup is 106000 yuan/set and 123700 yuan/set. The average import price is more than 10 times higher than the average export price. It can be seen that the CNC machine tools produced in China are concentrated in the low-end market. The added value of exported related products is low, and high-end CNC machine tools rely on imports. The development trend of CNC machine tools in 2023 is analyzed from the three major conditions.

1. Accelerate the pace of domestic substitution in the high-end market

In recent years, under the vigorous promotion of policies and market demand, private CNC machine tool companies have risen strongly, continuously increasing investment in scientific and technological research and development, vying to lay out the high-end CNC machine tool market, and the level of technology and management has continued to improve, and the products produced have been in the domestic market. Widely recognized. Since last year, a number of enterprises have announced the high-end market layout dynamics. Genesis plans to invest 1.8 billion yuan to build a high-end CNC machine tool manufacturing industrialization production base project; Qinchuan Machine Tool Invests 1 billion Yuan to Build a High-end CNC Machine Tool Innovation Base in Xixian New District; Haitian Seiko plans to invest 1 billion yuan to build a high-end CNC machine tool production base in Ningbo Economic and Technological Development Zone. In the future, with the continuous development of domestic brands, the pace of domestic substitution in the high-end market of CNC machine tools in China will accelerate.

2. Continuous improvement of industrial chain supporting

From the coverage of parts category, domestic parts manufacturers have achieved high coverage on most high-end parts. However, in the field of high-end CNC machine tools, key components such as CNC system, two-axis swing head, two-axis cradle turntable, grating ruler and encoder mainly rely on imports, domestic parts in high-end CNC machine tools on the application rate is low. "Made in China 2025" proposed that by 2025, China's CNC system standard and intelligent domestic market share will reach 80% and 30% respectively; the domestic market share of high-end functional components such as spindles, screws, and guide rails will reach 80%. In the future, with the landing of various supporting policies, major machine tool enterprises will continue to increase investment in research and development of key core components, and the industrial chain in the high-end market will be gradually improved.

3. Machine tool numerical control rate continued to improve

In 2021, the domestic machine tool numerical control rate of 44.9, "Made in China 2025" China clearly proposed that by 2025 the key process numerical control rate will be increased to 64%, the domestic machine tool numerical control rate still has a large room for improvement. With the continuous acceleration of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, traditional machine tools can no longer meet the needs of manufacturing automation, intelligence, and digital production. Overlaying the demand for machine replacement starting in 2021, the CNC machine tool industry has ushered in a period of rapid development of the industry.

In summary, China's technological progress in machine tools is quite obvious, has become the world's largest machine tool production and marketing country.
