China's machine tool industry is gradually changing its traditional model of "exporting low-end products and importing high-end ones."
Guoyuan released a research report stating that demand in the machine tool market continues to grow, and the global machine tool market size is continuously expanding. The international machine tool market presents a "pyramid" structure. The top of the pyramid is represented by developed countries such as Germany and Japan. Data from 2024 shows that China remains firmly the world's largest machine tool producer and consumer. The domestic market has numerous players, and Chinese enterprises are developing steadily. The import and export structure is optimizing, with value-driven characteristics becoming prominent. China's traditional machine tool model of "low-end exports, high-end imports" is gradually changing. Guoyuan's main viewpoints are as follows: Industry Overview: A large market worth hundreds of billions, innovation-driven development Industrial mother machines play a major role in the construction of national economic modernization. Industrial mother machines, also known as machine tools, are machines that process blanks or workpieces of metal or other materials to obtain the required geometric shapes, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality. Demand in the machine tool market continues to grow, and the global machine tool market size is continuously expanding. According to Precedence Research data, it is expected to reach approximately US$185.76 billion by 2035. CNCization of machine tools has become an industry development trend, especially high-end CNC machine tools, which are expected to develop rapidly. With the development of electronic information technology, the current machine tool industry has entered an era of mechatronics represented by CNC machine tools. The industrial mother machine industry chain includes upstream core component supply, midstream machine tool manufacturing, and downstream terminal application fields. Domestic forces are rising rapidly in the midstream, while the upstream core and high-end markets remain dominated by foreign companies. The international machine tool market presents a "pyramid" structure. The top of the pyramid is represented by developed countries such as Germany and Japan. Data from 2024 shows that China remains firmly the world's largest machine tool producer and consumer. The domestic market has numerous players, and Chinese enterprises are developing steadily. Development Trends: Policy dividends continue to be released, technological innovation establishes advantages Policy dividends continue to be released, and China's machine tool industry is ushering in a period of strategic opportunity. In recent years, the national level has introduced a series of support policies around "industrial mother machines" with clear direction and unprecedented intensity, injecting strong momentum into the development of the machine tool industry, especially high-end CNC machine tools. The policy focus has shifted from supporting "machine tools" as a whole to precisely supporting key weak-link areas. The trend of technological substitution is clear, accelerating the process of domestic substitution. Products are evolving toward intelligence, with compounding and integration coexisting. The import and export structure is optimizing, with value-driven characteristics becoming prominent. China's traditional machine tool model of "low-end exports, high-end imports" is gradually changing. Related Targets Suggest paying attention to Ningbo Haitian Precision Machinery: a leader in the domestic substitution of high-end CNC machine tools, with long-term growth driven by technological upgrading; Neway Cnc Equipment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd: a technology-driven domestic machine tool company; Guangdong Create Century Intelligent Equipment Group Corporation: high-end intelligent equipment business, with steadily improving technological R&D and innovation capabilities. Risk Warnings Risk of delayed policy implementation; risk of macroeconomic and downstream demand fluctuations; risk of technological upgrading and market competition; supply chain security risk; international market expansion and geopolitical risk.
