China's metal processing machine tool data in May

Statistics from the General Administration of Customs show that China imported 32,079 sets of metal processing machines in January-May 2013, a decrease of 21.5% compared with the same period of last year. In May, China's metal processing machine tool imports amounted to 6,604, and the import amount was 744 million US dollars.

Attached: The April production of metal cutting machine tools rose slightly year-on-year. The output of metal-cutting machines increased slightly year-on-year in April, and the decrease in imports and exports decreased. In April, a total of 65,000 metal-cutting machine tools were produced, a year-on-year increase of 1.6%, of which 20,000 metal-cutting machine tools were produced, which was a decrease of 3.5% year-on-year, and the decline was smaller than that of the first quarter.

From January to April, the cumulative production of gold-cutting machine tools reached 243,000 units, a decrease of 2% over the same period of last year, and a total of 60,000 units of CNC gold-cutting machine tools, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.9%. In April, a total of 22,000 metal forming machines were produced, which was a year-on-year increase of 7.0%. From January to April, a total of 69,000 sets of forming machine tools were produced, a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%. We previously judged that the prosperity of the machine tool industry will gradually bottom out in the second quarter. At present, the April data has seen a certain degree of improvement. Considering the machine tool industry lags behind the macroeconomic cycle and the recovery of the downstream industry, we expect the machine tool industry will be in the second half of the year. Gradually warmer.

On the import side, a total of 0.65 million machine tools were imported in April, a year-on-year decrease of 22.7%; the import value was US$970 million, a year-on-year decrease of 3.1%. From January to April, China imported 25,600 sets of metal processing machine tools, a year-on-year decrease of 19.3%, and the cumulative amount of imports was US$3.67 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 12.1%. In terms of exports, in April, 1.23 million sets of metal processing machine tools were exported, up 105% year-on-year; the export value was 210 million U.S. dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 0.9%, and the single export value was significantly reduced. From January to April, the cumulative export value was 890 million U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%.
