1. Both China and the United States are major consumers of machine tools.

In terms of output value, China is the world's largest machine tool producer. In 2012, the output value was 14.7 billion euros, accounting for 22.1% of the global machine tools, and a 5% decline after years of growth. The United States continues to rank seventh, and the huge demand in the domestic market has led to a 7% increase in machine tool output, with the global share rising to 5.8%.

From the perspective of the proportion of cutting machine tools, China's cutting machine tool production accounted for 20.3% of the world's total, ranking second, with a 67% share of cutting, lower than the global average of 73%; forming machine tools are developing well, achieving a production value of 4.9 billion euros and 27.2% of the market share, ranked first. The proportion of cutting machines in the United States is 74%, slightly higher than the global level, and is the same as Germany.

From the perspective of domestic machine tool demand, China's machine tool consumption reached 23.9 billion euros, accounting for 36% of global consumption, but the consumption in local currency fell by 3%. The US jumped to the second largest consumer market with US$6.8 billion. The growth rate in US dollars reached 19%, accounting for 10.2% of global machine tool consumption.

In terms of export volume, China's machine tool exports ranked eighth, but it has not yet entered high-end equipment, accounting for 3.9% of the global machine tool market. The domestic market consumes 90% of machine tools, with an export rate of 10%. One hundred million euros, the export rate is 46.5%.

In terms of imports, China imported 10.6 billion euros of machine tools, accounting for 28.6% of global imports. It is the world's largest import market, and its import dependence is stable at 45%. The United States imports 4.5 billion euros, accounting for 9.5%, the second largest importer, with an import dependence of 67%.

2. Processing center import comparison

From the perspective of import dependence, US imports are more dependent, increasing by 2 percentage points in 2012; China's machine tool self-sufficiency rate has been increasing, and since 2007, import dependence has dropped by 15 percentage points.

In the first half of 2013, the import value of China's processing centers was US$1.84 billion, down 26.5% year-on-year; the import volume was 12,400 units, down 43.0% year-on-year; the import unit price was US$148,000/set, up 29.0% year-on-year.

In the same period, the US imported processing center was 620 million US dollars, down 22.2% year-on-year; the import volume was 3481 units, down 24.5% year-on-year; the import unit price was 178,000 US dollars/set, up 3.0% year-on-year.

In terms of imports, China's processing centers are in greater demand, about three times that of the United States, and imports are 3.6 times that of the United States, indicating that with the rapid growth of China's manufacturing industry, there is a greater demand for foreign high-tech processing centers. From the perspective of import unit prices, the prices of products imported from the United States are higher, indicating that the demand for US products is higher than that of China.

From the monthly import situation, the processing center imported from China reached the highest record of 5,851 units in August 2012, and then went down straight. The unit price of imports was innovated at a low price of 102,000 US dollars per unit in October, and then gradually increased. In the first half of 2013, the import volume gradually decreased while the import unit price continued to increase. After reaching its peak in April, the price increase in May and June began to reverse.

Compared with China, the highest peak of US imports occurred in October 2011, followed by high levels, and began to decline after October 2012; the import price reached the bottom in June 2012, and then went higher, reaching $220,000 in November. The highest peak of the station.

In the first half of 2013, the import volume and import unit price of imported machining centers in the United States were declining, but contrary to China, this trend began to reverse in May and June.

3. US imports are more concentrated

In terms of imports, Japan, Germany and Taiwan are the top three sources of Chinese processing centers. In the first half of 2013, imports from Japan were 739 million US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 51.3%, accounting for 40.2% from 60.7% in the same period of 2012; imports from Germany were 520 million US dollars, up 51.6% year-on-year, accounting for 13.7%. 28.3%; imports from Taiwan, China, were US$179 million, a decrease of 16.4% year-on-year, and the proportion increased from 8.6% to 9.7%. The fourth to tenth import sources are South Korea, Italy, the United States, Spain, France, Switzerland and Singapore; the top 10 import sources account for 98.5%.

Among the processing centers imported from the United States, Japan imported the most. In the first half of 2013, imports from Japan were 350 million US dollars, down 26.4% year-on-year, accounting for 59.6% from 59.6%; Taiwan ranked second, with imports of 64.812 million. The US dollar fell by 29.1%, from 11.5% to 10.4%; from Germany, it was US$63.70 million, down 23.4%, and the proportion dropped slightly from 10.3% to 10.2%. From the fourth to the tenth, the import source status is Korea, Italy, France, Switzerland, New Zealand, China and Brazil; the top 10 import sources account for 99.6%.

From the Sino-US processing center trade, in the first half of 2013, the United States imported 5.409 million US dollars from China, down 38.6% year-on-year, accounting for less than 0.9%. China's processing center imported from the United States was US$56.16 million, a year-on-year increase of 60.6%, and the proportion rose to 3.1%, reflecting the increasing competitiveness of US processing centers.

4. Differences in the structure of imported products

In the first half of 2013, China's imported processing centers were mainly vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers and gantry machining centers, of which 43.3% were vertical machining centers, 44.5% were horizontal machining centers, and 9.1% were gantry machining. Center, the rest are Other processing centers.

The machining centers imported from the United States are mainly vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers. The vertical machining centers with ATC (automatic tool changers) are divided into Y-axis strokes of more than 660 mm and less than 660 mm. Horizontal machining centers The Y-axis stroke is less than 658 mm, between 685 and 1016 mm and over 1016 mm.

From the source of imported unit price, the United States imports the highest number of high-end processing centers from France, the unit price reached 469,000 US dollars / Taiwan, followed by Switzerland, 336,000 US dollars / Taiwan, Germany, Italy, Japan processing center price of 220,000 ~ 240,000 US dollars / Taiwan, products from 100,000 to 130,000 US dollars / Taiwan are from Thailand, Denmark, Singapore, Czech Republic, South Korea and China.

The high-end processing center imported from China is from Spain. The average price in the first half of the year was US$1.540 million/unit, the Italian processing center was US$1.109 million/set, and the Czech unit price was close to US$1 million/set, indicating that the Czech Republic has been the European machine tool production base in recent years. The effect is reflected in the price of processing centers from Germany at US$688,000 per unit; processing units from Singapore, South Korea and the United Kingdom are priced at US$100,000 to US$180,000 per unit; processing units from Japan and Thailand are priced at US$100,000 per unit. The products of Taiwan and the United States are around US$70,000 per unit.
