At present, the development of national economy has entered a new normal of medium and high-speed growth, and the costs of production factors such as labor, raw materials and energy have risen, making it more and more difficult for manufacturing enterprises to operate. "Reducing production cost and improving production efficiency" has become the consensus of many domestic manufacturing enterprises. In recent years, domestic tool enterprises have risen rapidly, replacing some imported products with cost-effective and local service advantages, and accelerating the localization process of CNC tools.
In 20 19, the total consumption of tools in China reached 39.3 billion yuan, of which the annual consumption of domestic tools was about 25.7 billion yuan, and the annual consumption of imported tools was about13.6 billion yuan. Although domestic tools occupy the dominant position in China tool consumption market with 2/3 of the total market share, they are mainly low-end products. Most of the imported tools worth 654.38+0.36 billion yuan are efficient tools urgently needed by modern manufacturing industry. ZTE incident has sounded the alarm for China manufacturing, and the lack of core technology in key links will definitely restrict the vigorous development of high-end manufacturing in China. As a supporting numerical control tool for high-end equipment manufacturing industry, accelerating its localization is of great significance to national economic security. According to the statistical data of cmtba, from 20 16 to 20 19, the proportion of imported tools in the total consumption decreased from 37. 17% to 34.6 1%, which shows that the self-sufficiency rate of CNC tools in China is gradually increasing and the dependence on imports is decreasing year by year.
In the future, the tool industry in China will present the following development trends:
-The adjustment of tool consumption structure has been accelerated, and the consumption demand of CNC tools has increased. China is the country with the richest tungsten resources in the world, but the utilization level of tungsten resources is not high. There are many enterprises engaged in the manufacture of cemented carbide products and tools in China, but most of them are small in scale and mainly oriented to the low-end market. With China's industrial policy to promote the extension of cemented carbide to deep processing, the structure of cemented carbide products and tools is being further optimized, and the proportion of deep processing products represented by CNC blades will be further improved.
-Substitution of import and localization is the main development direction of China tool industry. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China put forward the "Made in China 2025" and "internet plus" action plans to promote the automation and intelligentization of China's manufacturing industry and enhance the level of digital manufacturing. Numerical control tool is an integral part of digital manufacturing, a key means to improve labor productivity and quality, and plays an important role in saving manufacturing costs. The dependence of high-end CNC tools on imports is related to national economic security and national defense security, which is an obstacle for China to become a manufacturing power.
At present, most tool enterprises in China mainly produce low-end products with traditional standard tools, and the supply of CNC tool products adapted to the development trend of digital manufacturing is insufficient. In recent years, China's tool enterprises have made some progress in product structure adjustment, replacing some imported products in some areas, but it is difficult for domestic tools to replace imports in the short term.
-The market concentration of tool industry will gradually increase. In developed countries, tools develop with digital manufacturing. With the increasing awareness, use and requirements of tools in manufacturing industry, tool materials have been upgraded from carbon tool steel and high-speed steel to cemented carbide and superhard materials. The system of tool technology, R&D, marketing and service is more complicated than before, the imitation of tools is more and more difficult, the requirement of independent innovation is higher and higher, and the survival and development environment of small tool enterprises is getting smaller and smaller. In the future, with the evolution of tool technology, small enterprises are unable to continue to invest in research and development in tool materials, coatings and other fields, and are at a disadvantage in market competition, which will inevitably be eliminated by leading enterprises in the industry.
At present, China's tool industry presents a situation of disorderly market competition for low-end products. A large number of small enterprises lacking technology precipitation, poor R&D ability and weak capital strength are facing the situation of elimination or merger, while enterprises with brand, capital and technology advantages have more competitive advantages in high-end application fields, and will gain more market share, thus improving the market concentration of the whole tool industry.
-The comprehensive service capability of domestic tool enterprises needs to be improved. At present, the world's leading tool manufacturers provide users with personalized cutting solutions by virtue of their rich product categories, deep understanding of customer needs and high R&D strength. In the future, the role of tool manufacturers in China will change, from simple tool production and supply to developing new cutting technologies and corresponding supporting technologies and products, from simple tool supplier to an important partner for user enterprises to solve machining problems.
