European machine tool manufacturing adjusts product structure and development strategy

According to the analysis and prediction of the European Machine Tool Industry Cooperation Committee, the downturn in the world's machine tool manufacturing industry caused by the international financial crisis and economic downturn will continue beyond 2010 at least. This year, the European machine tool manufacturing industry will mainly rely on digesting the previous year's product orders to maintain production and employment. The production capacity will exceed the market demand by 40%, and the situation is quite severe. In order to overcome difficulties and increase market competitiveness as quickly as possible, relevant experts believe that the European machine tool manufacturing industry should accelerate the adjustment of product structure, while appropriately abandoning medium and low-grade technical products, while retaining and enhancing the innovation and R&D potential of high-end industrial products. To this end, European governments and industry organizations should issue protective policies, such as providing preferential financial assistance for the industry, reducing tax burden, strengthening training and support for technical and managerial personnel in the industry, increasing investment in related technologies and scientific research departments, etc. .

Faced with the difficulties currently encountered in the machine tool manufacturing industry, the European Machine Tool Industry Cooperation Committee recently appealed that the European machine tool manufacturing industry should more actively adjust the product structure and increase the technological content, so that the machine tool production can be more adapted to automation, numerical control, intelligence and energy conservation and environmental protection. The demand continues to maintain the world's leading competitive position and strive to maintain its market share in the world. Especially in the manufacture of high-precision machine tools, we should strive to increase market share to 80%.

Experts from the European Union's industrial and manufacturing development said that the future of the European machine tool manufacturing industry is closely linked with the development of emerging industries. Under the premise of product diversification, the key development direction is: to adapt to the new energy and renewable energy industry more quickly. The precision instrument manufacturing industry required by the information industry, the machinery processing industry related to aviation, aerospace, high-speed railways and public transportation, and the production of new generation medical devices will form the development strategy of the European machine tool industry in the next 10 years.
