Recent reports from the auto industry show that the recovery of Chinas auto industry has exceeded expectations. From January to September, Chinas automobile production and sales completed 16.957 million and 17.116 million respectively, continuing the rapid momentum of recovery growth, achieving year-on-year growth for six consecutive months, and the decline rate has narrowed to less than 7%.
According to the data released by the China Automobile Industry Association, the production and sales of automobiles in September were 2.524 million and 2.655 million, respectively, up 19.1% and 17.4% month on month, and 14.1% and 12.8% respectively year-on-year. As of this month, auto production and sales have been increasing for six consecutive months, of which the sales volume has maintained a growth rate of more than 10% for five consecutive months.
As we all know, the automobile industry is the largest and most important market in the machine tool industry. The manufacturing of key parts such as automobile engine, gearbox, high-pressure oil pump drive unit, wheel hub unit, steering knuckle, axle, bearing, automobile chassis and other key parts needs a large number of high-precision, high-efficiency and high reliability CNC machine tools, and the application scope of flexible automatic production line is constantly expanding.
The recovery of automobile industry has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the development of machine tool industry. In the machine tool business network and the exchange of member units, many enterprises also said: the companys orders are picking up.
Coincidentally, Chinas machine tool market is not only affected by the recovery of automobile industry. Indian media said that part of the revival of the auto industry has brought great help to the Indian machine tool industry, and the (machine tool sales market) is getting better and better after June 2020.
The current order environment of Japanese machine tools is also recovering. In addition to making smartphones and semiconductors for fifth generation communications (5g), car sales are also picking up. "The demand for automobiles has recovered and the Chinese market is in good condition," said Sadik Guchuan, president The company has plants in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, and Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, which have returned to about 80% of total production.
From the perspective of industry development trend, policy is the main reason for the recovery of EMU market. Specifically, the domestic economic situation continues to improve, the implementation of the "six stabilities" and "six guarantees" tasks has become increasingly obvious. The continuous improvement of the production and operation conditions of enterprises, the gradual improvement of the supply and demand cycle, the overall stability of employment prices, and the relevant policies, activities and double saving effects of various localities to promote consumption have promoted the recovery of the automobile market.
It is predicted that commercial vehicles will continue to maintain a growth trend driven by policies and investment in the fourth quarter; in terms of passenger vehicles, the Beijing International Auto Show, which opened in late September, has promoted the full launch of new products of enterprises, and superimposed on the continuation of consumption promotion policies in various regions, it is expected that the automobile market will continue to be better.
In the good situation of auto market recovery, machine tool enterprises should not only welcome the development, but also see the challenges behind the opportunities. At present, domestic machine tool products account for a small proportion of the total demand in the automotive field, and their strength in the middle and high-end industrial chain is weak, especially in the processing of key parts of automobile engine powertrain.
In a word, the recovery of the auto market is like a sweet dew, bringing new vitality to the machine tool market. But if machine tool enterprises want to occupy the automobile market for a long time, they need to further enhance their competitiveness. Especially with the emergence and vigorous development of new technologies such as new energy vehicles, domestic machine tool enterprises need to enhance their own strength to meet a new round of opportunities and challenges.
