The production business of the French machine tool equipment manufacturing industry encountered great difficulties in 2004, and its operating conditions improved significantly. However, it has re-entered the stagnation since 2007. At present, the production business of the French machine tool equipment manufacturing industry is significantly lower than that of the beginning of 2000.
1. China has become the third largest consumer of French machine tool equipment products.
For many years, the French machine tool equipment manufacturing industry has maintained a structurally large deficit in foreign trade. Although the scale of the deficit has narrowed in recent years, its overall scale is still very impressive (see Table 2). In 2007, the total export volume of machine tool equipment of French companies reached 1.751 billion euros, an increase of 4.8% compared with the previous year. The total import value was 3.05 billion euros and the total deficit was 1.254 billion euros.
Since 2004, the total export volume of machine tool equipment products of French companies has generally maintained an upward trend. Among them, Germany, Belgium, Spain and Italy are the most important export markets for the French machine tool equipment manufacturing industry.
At present, France maintains a fairly strong upward trend in the sales of machine tool equipment products to countries in Asia and the Middle East. China has rapidly risen to become the third largest consumer of French machine tool equipment exports, and the demand for high-end complex machine tools and equipment with full digital control is very high. exuberant.
At the same time, since 2003, the total import volume of French machine tool equipment has also maintained a regular upward trend. Among them, countries in Western Europe (mainly including Germany, Italy and Switzerland), the United States, China and Japan are the most important suppliers of French imported machine tool equipment. The import of French standard machine tool equipment from China has risen rapidly.
In view of the fact that many large-scale machine tool equipment manufacturing enterprise groups with international status have subsidiaries in France, in fact, a large proportion of the French machine tool equipment import and export business is owned by these foreign-funded enterprise groups. Internal trading activities completed between national subsidiaries.
Second, the internationalization of French machine tool equipment manufacturing enterprises is getting higher and higher
The current world market for machine tool equipment exports is basically dominated by Germany and Japan. In 2006, the two countries’ share in the international market was 19.4% and 16.5% respectively, while France’s share was less than 3%. table 3). The total annual turnover of the machine tool manufacturing industry in Europe is approximately 35 billion euros. Among the two machine tool products currently produced in Europe, one is a German product; and one out of every four machine tool products is an Italian product.
However, in addition to fierce competition from emerging economies such as China, South Korea and Taiwan, these major European machine tool producers are also threatened by competition from some new European Union member states. In response to the new competitive challenges, some of the world's major machine tool manufacturing countries have chosen to invest directly in setting up factories in the emerging economies with great potential for these markets by signing cooperation agreements with local manufacturers. These plants mainly produce standardized machine tool equipment products that are highly competitive in the market, as well as machine tool equipment products that are sold according to the catalogue.
Up to now, the manufacturing business of machine tool equipment products sold according to the catalogue is mainly monopolized by some large-scale enterprise groups with world scale.
Third, French machine tool equipment manufacturing enterprises turn their production business to products with high degree of automation
French machine tool equipment manufacturers have chosen to adjust their main business activities to the production of high-tech machine tool equipment. These companies are able to maintain a strong market in this particular segment of the product market with their mastery of production technology. Competitiveness. For example, fully automated multi-functional machine tool products produced by French companies can significantly reduce and simplify different types of operations.
It is for this reason that expanding investment in the research and development of new products is of great significance for maintaining the long-term development of French machine tool equipment manufacturing enterprises.
At present, French machine tool equipment manufacturing companies are mainly aiming at improving two important index parameters in the research and development of new products: how to improve the production efficiency and processing accuracy of equipment. At the same time, next-generation machine tool products are also required to meet increasingly stringent safety standards and provide solutions in how to further improve the handling of the equipment.
In addition, due to the widespread use of emerging information technologies, French machine tool equipment manufacturers are also actively developing machine tool equipment that can be remotely maintained via the network.
