Grasping policy opportunities and responding to export trends

According to customs statistics, from January to May this year, the import and export of machine tool industry was 5.432 billion US dollars, down 23.4% from the same period of the previous year. Among them, imports were 3.873 billion US dollars, down 20.45% year-on-year (Imports increased by 13.29% from January to May 2008); exports were 1.559 billion US dollars, down 29.85% year-on-year (from January to May 2008, exports increased by 41.48%). The import and export deficit was 2.314 billion US dollars, a deficit of 2.346 billion US dollars from the same period of the previous year, a decrease of 332 million US dollars.
From January to May this year, the import of metal processing machine tools was 2.484 billion US dollars, down 15.84% year-on-year; the export was 543 million US dollars, down 29.9% year-on-year. among them:
The number of CNC machine tools imported was 3,892 units, amounting to 1.203 billion yuan, down 1.79% year-on-year; 4,173 units were exported, amounting to US$118 million, down 37.1% year-on-year.
The processing center imported 2,347 units, amounting to 625 million US dollars, down 22.51% year-on-year; exporting 251 units, amounting to 22,294,600 US dollars, down 23.6% year-on-year.
Overall, due to the impact of the international financial crisis, the demand in the US and international markets decreased, and the cumulative decline in the export value of the machine tool industry increased month by month. From January to February, exports were 633 million US dollars, down 24.23% year-on-year; January-March exports were 935 million US dollars, down 25.73% year-on-year; January-April exports were 1.244 billion US dollars, down 28.17% year-on-year; To 29.85%.
From the monthly export situation of the whole industry, the first two months of this year continued to decline, and the latter three months rebounded slightly. May's exports increased by 1.94% from April, but this does not mean that external demand has improved. It is China’s policy of stabilizing foreign trade growth and the initiative of enterprises to adjust themselves to see some results. Whether the cumulative decline in exports across the industry can slow down depends on the performance of external demand. Judging from the current situation, the basis for the rebound in exports is still not stable, and the export situation is still grim. According to the predictions of relevant international organizations, the basic situation of the world economic recession has not yet fundamentally changed. The global trade decline has not bottomed out. The demand for major export markets of mechanical products such as the EU, the United States and Japan has shrunk. At the same time, in the economic downturn, countries tend to tighten trade policies, and trade protectionism may come back. In this regard, enterprises must have a clear understanding and mental preparation.
Grasping preferential policies to promote the development of export trade In response to the impact of the international financial crisis, the Chinese government has adopted a number of policies to increase macro-control and expand investment scale, including increasing investment in fixed assets of the machinery industry (the equipment required for these investments is mainly machine tools). Formulate policies and measures to further support the development of equipment manufacturing industry, encourage technological transformation of enterprises; comprehensively implement VAT reform; expand domestic consumption to stimulate domestic demand. At the same time, it also abolished the duty-free and VAT-free policies for a large number of domestic investment projects imported machine tools, and eliminated the VAT exemption policy for all foreign-funded enterprises. These policies will be conducive to the independent innovation of Chinese enterprises and enhance the competitiveness of domestically produced equipment. For the export of machine tool industry, there are also many favorable factors: RMB bank loans have lowered interest rates several times; steel prices have fallen from high levels; from October to December 2008, the state has increased the export of 54 machine tools three times. Tax rebate rate; Recently, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation have also announced that from June 1st, the export tax rebate rate for some machinery products will be increased, including 44 kinds of machine tools; the state subsidizes the sales of some agricultural machinery, automobiles and home appliances, which has driven these industries. The demand for machine tools; the exchange rate of the RMB against the US dollar has not stopped the momentum of rapid appreciation, but it has also slightly depreciated in early June, which is conducive to reducing export costs. Enterprises must fully grasp these preferential policies and favorable factors, and actively promote the development of production and foreign trade.
Transformation and upgrading to optimize the structure of export products The current machine tool industry is facing difficulties in order reduction, sales decline, and inventory increase. At the Canton Fair held in April this year, orders for mechanical and electrical products fell by an average of 19.4% from the previous session. Enterprises' production and exports face many problems. To this end, enterprises must continuously improve the quality of labor-intensive products with advantages (such as some bench drills, abrasive tools, various tools and some low value-added ordinary machine tools, etc.), consolidate and expand the international market share, and must be upgraded and upgraded. Continuously optimize the structure of export products, gradually change the current situation of low value-added and low-tech products, increase the development of high-tech content, high value-added products, develop products with independent intellectual property rights, and attach importance to Continuous improvement and improvement of product technical standards, efforts to close and transform international standards or international advanced technology standards to enhance international competitiveness.
From the specific measures, the whole industry should focus on gradually transforming part of the processing trade (export of machine tool processing trade in the whole industry to 15.8% in 2008) into general trade exports; gradually transforming some OEM products into independent brand exports; Product structure (such as abrasives, castings, etc.) with high pollution, high energy consumption, and high consumption of scarce resources will increase its added value.
Deepening cooperation to promote market diversification At present, the demand of developed economies such as the European Union, the United States, and Japan is declining. Therefore, companies must diversify into other potential markets, such as the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, India, and Brazil. Russia and other efforts to make up for lost shares in the EU, the United States and other markets.
In recent years, China's machinery products and India, Brazil, Russia and other emerging economies, namely the BRIC countries, have a good momentum of bilateral trade among the three other countries except China. In 2007 and 2008, China's exports of machinery products to these three countries generally increased 40. %~90%.
China and the 10 ASEAN countries, China and Chile, China and Singapore have signed free trade agreements between 2005 and 2008 respectively; on April 28, 2009, China and Peru signed free trade agreements, and both parties will have more than 90% of their products. Zero tariffs are implemented in phases, which will benefit China's machine tool exports.
In the current situation of the export situation is not optimistic, enterprises should make full use of the preferential policies of tariff reduction and exemption of the above-mentioned countries to expand exports. Especially in ASEAN, bilateral trade has developed rapidly in recent years. Many of China's gold cutting machine tools, pressure machines, bending machines and other forming machine tools, as well as some tools, abrasive tools, machine tool parts and accessories, have strong competitive advantages in the local area. Active efforts should be made to export to these markets.
