China is a traditional big country in machine tool consumption, and consumption has ranked first in the world for several consecutive years. China, as a major consumer of machine tools, is also a major machine tool producer. In 2009, China became the world's largest producer of machine tools for the first time. As an important part of the machine tool industry, metal forming machine tools also show rapid growth. According to relevant statistics, in 2010, China produced 602 large-scale metal forming machine tools, completed industrial output value of 40.2 billion yuan, exports of 569 million US dollars, and imports of 1.906 billion US dollars.

The capability of independent innovation has been enhanced, and the level of technology has been significantly increased. In order to meet the needs of the national economy and the sustainable development of enterprises, in particular, in response to the international financial crisis, the metal forming machine tool industry has intensified the development of new products in recent years. Scientific research, design, and manufacturing capabilities have been continuously enhanced, and the overall technical level of the industry has been further improved. A large number of new products with a high level of technology have been developed and verified in the production practice, which has been well received and recognized by users.

At present, the gap between the main products of China's metal forming machine tools and foreign technologies has narrowed significantly. Some product grades are close to international standards. The product types basically cover all products on the international market, and product quality, especially stability and reliability, have improved significantly, basically satisfying nationals. The needs of economic development also have the ability to impact the world market of high-end metal forming machine tools.

The product structure is further optimized. The "2013-2017 China Machine Tool Market Monitoring and Prospect Evaluation Report" published by Zhiyan Data Research Center pointed out that the product structure of China's metal forming machine tool industry is continuously optimized and presents the following characteristics: First, with industrial development and With technological advancement, the product has shown a tendency to develop in the direction of large (heavy) and super heavy. Second, medium and high-end intelligent flexible forming machine tools have become the mainstream and focus of market demand. All industries require high-speed, high-precision, high-stiffness, composite, and intelligent flexible metal forming machine tools in the process of technology upgrade and transformation. Third, the proportion of customized products has gradually increased to meet the individual needs of different users.

The market share of domestic metal forming machine tools has further increased. In recent years, with the gradual increase in the competitiveness of domestic machine tools in terms of variety, level, and quality, user acceptance has increased, and the market share of domestic machine tools has been on the rise. Metal forming machine tools as an important variety of machine tool industry, domestic metal forming machine tool market share in the past 10 years has also greatly increased.

China is a major country for the production of metal forming machine tools is not a strong country In recent years, the domestic machine tool industry has maintained a good momentum of development. Through technological transformation, the level of research and development, manufacturing, product quality and market capacity have all significantly increased. In 2009, China has become the world's largest machine tool producer, but the gap with developed countries remains significant. Metal forming machine tools as an important category of machine tools, but also has the characteristics of large but not strong, mainly in: First, the scale of the company is small, the current forging machinery industry manufacturers in China sales revenue of 500 million yuan in the company about 600 companies Most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the core equipment and production facilities (factory, lifting, and assembly conditions) of large-heavy and heavy-duty precision machining are insufficient. The production capacity is greatly limited, and large-capacity, large-tonnage, large-scale production can not be satisfied. Surface, high-precision, overall processing and forming product requirements. Secondly, the development of key functional components is lagging behind. The development of domestically-made functional components and numerical control systems is lagging behind. The supporting capabilities of functional components are weak and scattered. Whether it is a mechanical functional component, a numerical control system, or an electrical functional component, the high-end functional component is almost blank. The industrialization and scale of the mid-range functional component industry are not high enough to meet the matching requirements of domestic mainframes. The development of key functional components is lagging behind. Has become a bottleneck in the development of the metal forming machine industry. Thirdly, the product structure needs to be further optimized. Investigators of Zhiyan Data Research Center stated that the product structure of China's metal forming machine tool industry has been continuously optimized in recent years, but currently the proportion of medium-small and low-value-added products in China's metal forming machine tools is still relatively large. . It is a long-term task for the development of the metal forming machine tool industry to improve the production of large and heavy metal forming machine tools and further optimize the product structure.
