Global machine tool industry growth rate in July

The growth rate of the machine tool industry in the global market rose slightly in July. Judging from the situation in Japan, after entering 2010, the annual growth rate of the total orders of the Japanese machine tool industry maintained rapid growth; however, the rapid growth of orders continued to decline in April, May and June, mainly due to the total amount of overseas orders. Declined, but there was a slight increase in overseas orders in July from a year earlier; in terms of the absolute amount of overseas orders, there was also a slight increase in July from the previous month.

China's CNC machine tool output increased slightly in July. China's machine tool industry operating data show that China's CNC machine tool output growth continued to show a slight upward trend in July, the year-on-year growth rate of 68%, higher than the level of 45% in June. Judging from the absolute value of output, the output of CNC machine tools in July reached 19,500 units, which was lower than the 20,300 units in June, which was a month-on-month decline. It can be seen that the increase in the growth rate of CNC machine tools in July was due to the base effect.

The numerical control rate remains high. After entering January 2010, under the influence of factors such as economic transformation and industrial upgrading, the output of CNC machine tools continues to expand, which has led to a continuous increase in the numerical control rate of China's machine tool industry. In July, the CNC ratio of China's machine tool industry was 29%, compared with June. The numerically controlled rate of 30% is basically the same and maintains a high position; this shows that the demand for CNC machine tools is increasing faster, which is also consistent with the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry.

Downstream drivers have slipped. The automobile and construction machinery industry is the main downstream of the machine tools, and it is also the main driving force for the development of the machine tool industry. After entering 2010, affected by the base effect, although the growth rate of China's automobile output and construction machinery production declined to a certain extent, it still maintained a positive growth. From the perspective of the auto industry, the year-on-year growth of China's automobile output in July was 17%, which was lower than that in June, and the year-on-year growth rate fell for 5 consecutive months.
