Guide : The United States, Japan, Italy, Germany, the four major world famous machine tool manufacturing countries, this article from the first half of the country's orders, observe the international machine tool orders.


US orders have declined in the first half of the year

        According to data released by the American Manufacturing Technology Association, in June 2013, US metal processing machine orders reached US$430 million, down 5.8% from the previous month and down 5.7% year-on-year. The order volume was 2,229 units, a decrease of 119 units from the previous month. Among them, metal cutting Orders for machine tools decreased by 1.8%, down 1.8% year-on-year, down 3.9% year-on-year. Orders were 2,094 units, a decrease of 76 units from the previous month. Orders for forming machine tools were US$34.4 million, down 36.0% from the previous month, down 22.7% year-on-year, and orders were 135 units. , the chain was reduced by 43 units.

        In the first half of 2013, US metal processing machine orders were US$25.4 billion, down 5.7% year-on-year. Among them, orders for metal cutting machine tools were US$2.29 billion, down 5.9% year-on-year; orders for forming machine tools were US$250 million, down 3.7% year-on-year.

        Douglas Woods, president of the American Manufacturing Technology Association, said that summer manufacturing technology orders have fallen as a common phenomenon, which has occurred in six consecutive years for nine years. However, the order level is still at a high level, the manufacturing industry continues to drive economic growth, durable goods orders reached a record high of 240 million US dollars in June, and the PMI index also reached 55%. It is expected that manufacturing technology orders will remain stable until the end of the year.

Italian machine tool new orders index fell 6% in the first half of 2013

        According to Business Weekly, in the second quarter of 2013, the Italian machine tool industry improved, with orders up 0.7% year-on-year. In the first quarter, orders fell by nearly 10%.

        LuigiGaldabini, president of the Italian Machinery Industry Association UCIMU, said that although the domestic market demand in Italy has decreased, the demand for machinery investment is large, mainly due to lack of funds.

        Due to weak domestic demand, the Italian machine tool industry has declined for two consecutive years. Domestic orders fell 21.2% in the second quarter, while foreign orders increased by 6.2%.

        In the first half of 2013, the UCIMU new order index fell by 6%, domestic orders fell by 29.6% year-on-year, and abroad fell by 1%.

        Galdabini believes that this is mainly due to the reduction of domestic demand for Italian machine tool manufacturers, and the decline in foreign demand. The current lack of investment in production technology is a practical problem facing Italy's overall economy and threatens all levels of production chain.

        At present, the Italian machine tool industry is demanding the conquest of financial officials to provide domestic manufacturers with strong capital investment provisions and clear regulations to promote credit.

Japanese machine tool orders need to reduce external demand

        In the first half of 2013, orders from eight major machine tool manufacturers in Japan totaled 219.43 billion yen, down 17.1% year-on-year. The eight machine tool manufacturers are Mori Seiki Co., Ltd., Otsuka (OKUMA), Makino Manufacturing Co., Osaka Machine OKK, Toshiba Machine, Tsugami Jettage, Toyota Machin and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

        The orders for the eight machine tool manufacturers in the first half of the year were 74.22 billion yen, down 21.1% year-on-year, and external orders were 145.21 billion yen, down 15.0% year-on-year. The proportion of external demand increased by 1.7 percentage points to 66.2%.

        Experts analyzed that the slowdown in China's economy, the decline in smartphones and the need for flood recovery in Thailand are the main factors affecting the reduction of orders. However, due to the recovery of overseas economy and the fall of the yen exchange rate, the total order value increased by 1.6% in the first half of 2013 compared with the second half of 2012 (July-December). It is expected to continue to grow slowly in the second half of this year.

Orders drop sharply, the German machine tool industry hopes in the Asian market

        According to a recent survey by the German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association, in the first quarter of 2013, German machine tool orders fell by 19% year-on-year, with German domestic orders falling by 21% and foreign orders falling by 18%. Scheffer, chairman of the German Machine Tool Association, said that machine tool demand lost momentum, economic uncertainty has affected the willingness of German SMEs to invest, Germany's domestic gold cutting machine orders fell 26%, driven by the automotive industry to form a machine tool unchanged from the previous year. Sch·fer expects the situation to improve in the second half of the year, and the output value will increase by 1%. Hope is mainly from the Asian market, especially the largest market for German machine tools - the rapid development of China's economy. North American operations are also growing steadily, and the modernization of German domestic industries has increased the importance of the Russian market. Demand for international automotive industry, aerospace and machinery manufacturing for strategic investment in market share is also increasing, and investment is expected to increase significantly in 2013.

        In addition, for the German machine tool industry, the main stimulus is still from Asia. Although China's machine tool orders have plummeted by 30%, according to recent indicators, its machine tool orders have picked up again. In January 2013, the Purchasing Managers Index rose to a 52-point point from its lowest point in August 2012. Industrial production has once again achieved double-digit growth.
