From the perspective of enterprises, after more than two years of market tests, many enterprises have gradually shifted from passively coping with market changes to actively adapting to changes, actively positioning products, and looking for market opportunities according to their own characteristics. In the current situation, industrial enterprises should completely give up the expectation of the government to launch a further strong economic stimulus package and give up the desire for a strong rebound in middle and low-end market demand. The above expectations and aspirations are unrealistic and must be self-adjusted.


The comprehensive deepening of reform and innovation will give birth to more potential development opportunities, such as the rising phenomenon of "machine replacement" is giving birth to an unprecedentedly favorable upgrading market for the machine tool industry. The core of "machine replacement" is to upgrade the backward manufacturing mode to one that is more efficient, environmentally friendly, more reliable and more competitive, which is conducive to improving the income and quality of life of workers, and this trend is unstoppable. The machine tool industry should seize this opportunity.

III. The direction of efforts of the machine tool industry.

(1) to strengthen the construction of R & D test conditions and increase investment in R & D test activities. Create necessary R & D facilities to improve the reliability and accuracy of machine tools, change the common and frequently-occurring diseases of domestic machine tools, and persevere to create a high-quality image of Chinese machine tools.

(2) actively carry out experimental research on processing technology according to the processing requirements of different users, accumulate data, improve products, and improve the ability to provide users with "complete solutions". To improve its own added value in the process of improving quality and efficiency for the majority of users.

(3) to make great efforts to break through the weak links such as numerical control systems and functional components, cultivate competitive basic supporting industries, get rid of the bottleneck constraints of the weak foundation on the development of the machine tool industry, and provide strong support for the upgrading of the mainframe to the high end.

(4) to actively plan the upgrading of traditional machine tool products with digitization, automation, intelligence, networking and greening as the main direction, to prepare for China's machine tool industry to occupy a place in the competition of high-end products of its counterparts in the world in the future and to enhance the high-end market share of China's machine tools in the future.

(5) to take the road of "specialized and strong" modern tool enterprises.

In order to develop modern high-efficiency tool technology, Chinese tool enterprises should implement the guiding principle of "specialization and strength". It is necessary to advocate "being strong" rather than blindly "becoming bigger". Modern high-efficiency cutting tools are "high precision, high efficiency, high reliability and specialization" tool products developed to meet the specific needs of the manufacturing industry. The competitiveness of modern tool enterprises is not reflected in the performance-to-price ratio of its products, but in its ability to provide "overall solutions" to improve efficiency and reduce costs for the manufacturing industry. Therefore, to develop from a traditional tool enterprise to a modern tool enterprise is to change from a "panacea" to an expert.

In the current market environment, machine tool enterprises must change from pursuing the "economies of scale" of products that can be produced by many peers to helping users to obtain "scarcity benefits" supported by their own unique advantages. And get their own development opportunities in this process.

The "scarcity benefit" comes from products with superior performance, quality and cost performance; technological skills that people cannot; more lean management level than their counterparts; marketing skills with extraordinary benefits from brand marketing and international marketing; a team of talents with outstanding ability, outstanding quality and far-sighted vision. For this reason, machine tool enterprises must change their habitual thinking of extension expansion and devote themselves to cultivating their own unique core competitiveness. Increase investment in R & D, attach importance to the construction of test conditions and human resources, improve the innovation ability of products and processes, actively promote the deep integration of informatization and industrialization, and pursue the greening and internationalization of products and production processes, improve the lean level of production and marketing management of enterprises.

Finally, it is hoped that the enterprises in the industry will strengthen their confidence, seriously plan their own "map strength" strategy and ways to realize it, make good use of the reverse force mechanism, turn pressure into a driving force, tap the dividend of reform, cultivate the ability of innovation drive, and find the right breakthroughs. Make clear the focus, turn passivity into initiative, and achieve new breakthroughs in the new round of development of China's machine tool industry.
