Halfway through 2012, how is the CNC machine tool industry currently operating? Will there be a turnaround in the second half? What development posture should the company maintain? To this end, Dongguan Zhen Lei Li mechanical and electrical talk about the years of CNC cutting machine research and development and sales work under the market for some of the views.

From January to June, the total profit of the industry fell by 19.85% year-on-year, down by 22.77% from January to April. Compared with this, we can see that the industry as a whole has seen some slight warmth. It has been affected by factors such as employees’ vacations and it has appeared in July this year. The industry's lowest sales volume. Compared with sales in previous years, the sales volume of the major product lines of CNC machine tools basically conformed to the sales pattern in previous years. From the perspective of the industry product line, the total sales volume of Gantry-type CNC cutting machines, portable CNC cutting machines, and desktop CNC cutting machines have decreased significantly. Compared with manual equipment sales, the total sales volume is not very different from that of previous years.

On the export side, despite the cooling down of the entire CNC cutting machine tool market, in the first half of this year, the numerically-controlled machine tool industry achieved an import and export volume of 12.576 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 5.01 percent over the previous year, and an import value of 3.336 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 36.2 percent. The export value reached US$9.24 billion, an increase of 36.9% over the same period of the previous year, and achieved a trade surplus of US$5.9 billion, which was an increase of US$4.38 billion compared to the same period.

In 2012, the peak period of domestic imports occurred in March and May, which was roughly the same as in previous years. The low level of domestic exports occurred in February of this year. Today, the entire CNC machine tool industry is in a period of continuous low tide, and it is not easy for a good watch in the field of import and export. According to the forecast of the CNC Machine Tool Industry Association, the export growth in 2012 will reach about 30%.
