Three of China's Bottleneck Technologies - CNC Machine Tools: Blockages and Prospects

2024-11-23

Currently, China's industrial sector still faces significant "bottleneck" problems, relying on foreign countries for integrated circuits, operating systems, and basic software. 90% of China's chips, 80% of its high-end CNC machine tools, and over 80% of its core industrial software are imported.

The machine tool industry has always been a key strategic focus for major countries and leading companies. Future changes and adjustments in the manufacturing landscape, particularly for high-strategic industries such as global automotive, aerospace, and high-end equipment manufacturing, make the machine tool industry an important strategic fulcrum, significantly impacting future competitiveness. "Made in China 2025" lists CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment as "strategic areas for accelerated breakthroughs," proposing to strengthen forward-looking deployment and key technological breakthroughs, proactively planning to seize future technological and industrial competition points, and improving the level and voice in international division of labor.

In recent years, driven by favorable national policies and continuous innovation by enterprises, China's CNC machine tool industry has developed rapidly. Data shows that in 2019, the scale of China's CNC machine tool industry reached 327 billion yuan. Due to the impact of the epidemic and energy supply restrictions, the market size of China's CNC machine tool industry decreased slightly in 2020, reaching 247.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 24.4%. In 2021, the market size of China's CNC machine tool industry resumed growth, reaching 268.7 billion yuan. The China Business Research Institute predicts that the scale of the CNC machine tool industry will reach 295.7 billion yuan in 2022. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China actively cultivates advanced manufacturing clusters and promotes the innovative development of high-end CNC machine tool industry, and the industry is expected to enter a period of rapid development.
