From January to November 2010, the import volume price of metal processing machine tools in the port of Guangdong increased

According to customs statistics, from January to November 2010, 22,000 Taiwan-imported metal processing machine tools (hereinafter referred to as “machine tools”) were imported from Guangdong ports, which was 1.2 times more than the same period of last year, with a value of 1.67 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 1.7 times, and an average import price. For each 75,000 US dollars, an increase of 19.1%.

I. Main features of the import of machine tools at the port of Guangdong in the period of 1 to 11 months in 2010 (I) The monthly import volume continued to operate at a high level. Since 2010, the import of machine tools from Guangdong ports has shown significant growth, with the monthly growth rate showing a positive double-digit growth over the same period of the previous year. Since March, the monthly imports have been over 2,000. In November of the same month, Guangdong Port imported 2626 machine tools, a two-fold increase from the same period of last year and an increase of 25.6% from the previous month. It was the highest monthly import since 2009.

(b) The import is mainly based on general trade. From January to November 2010, Guangdong Port imported 13,000 machine tools in general trade, an increase of 1.3 times, accounting for 59.5% of the total import volume of machine tools in Guangdong during the same period; 8141 imported equipment and goods imported by foreign-invested enterprises as investment. , an increase of 2.3 times, accounting for 36.7%.

(3) Import growth of foreign-invested enterprises is rapid. From January to November 2010, the foreign investment enterprises in the port of Guangdong imported 15,000 machine tools, an increase of 1.9 times, accounting for 67% of the total import volume of machine tools at the port of Guangdong during the same period; 4802 private enterprises imported, which doubled, accounting for 21.7%; state-owned enterprises Imported 2381 units, an increase of 22.4%, accounting for 10.7%.

(4) Japan, Taiwan Province, the European Union and South Korea are the top four sources of imports. From January to November 2010, the Guangdong port imported 11,000 machine tools from Japan, an increase of 3.4 times; imported 6,242 units from Taiwan Province, an increase of 84.3%; imported 2,520 units from the EU, an increase of 30.7%; and 1,164 imports from Korea, an increase of 1.1. Times. The above four imports accounted for 93.6% of the total imports of machine tools from ports in Guangdong during the same period.

(5) The import volume of machine tools in processing centers has increased sharply. From January to November 2010, Guangdong Port imported 9879 sets of processing centers, an increase of 7.7 times, accounting for 44.6% of the total imports of machine tools at the port of Guangdong during the same period; imported 3,145 sets of CNC machine tools, an increase of 71.4%, accounting for 14.2%.

Second, the current issues worth attention and related recommendations At present, China has been the world's largest machine tool consumer market, is also the largest importer and producer, but China's master high-precision technology manufacturers are scarce, the economic development of high-end CNC The machine tools are still mainly dependent on imports. The numerical control systems and functional components required for medium-to-high-end CNC machine tools are also mainly imported from abroad. Domestically produced parts and components cannot meet the requirements of the industry. The entire machine tool industry is facing the challenge of “big rather than strong, small but not special”. The situation has caused the relative self-sufficiency of some important core technology and equipment in China to remain relatively inadequate.

To this end, it is recommended that relevant national departments and trade associations take active measures to respond: First, actively guide enterprises to increase research and development of key projects and core components, enhance their independent innovation capabilities, and strive to improve the localization capabilities of high-end machine tools; The second is to further accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure, encourage joint reorganization between industries, support the development and expansion of a group of enterprises with strong competitiveness, and realize the transformation of domestic equipment manufacturing industry from large to strong.
