According to the development of Taiwan Machine Tool Foundation (TMTF) released the latest statistics, from January to May 2010, Taiwan's machine tool exports reached 10.2915 total hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars, up 45% over the same period the export conditions improve.
View from the export market, glue stick China (including Hong Kong) are among the first exports of 4.8273 billion dollars, 46.9% of total exports, up 108% over the same period.Data showed an increase compared with global exports, the Chinese mainland market has become more stable.
The United States in second place, to 44.4 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 4.3% of exports, decreased 34.3% over the same period.India ranks third in the amount of 43.81 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 4.3% and rose by 107%.
You can see the mainland market for Taiwanese machine tool industry,glue gun a pillar role.
The importance of China market
China machine tool industry compared to Taiwan's machine tool industry has been a leader in the development.Back in 1994, Taiwan had access to the world machine tool exports to the ranks of the top ten, and have maintained good momentum of development.According to the Taiwan Machine Tool & Component Manufacturers Association's latest statistics show that in 2008, Taiwan's machine tool industry output value reached 4.7 billion U.S. dollars, for the world's fifth largest producer of machine tools in the field and the fourth largest export market, even in the global 2009machine tool market is still top four suppliers.
Taiwan's machine tool industry is clearly close to the mainland market.With the mainland market demand and needs of machine tool products to enhance energy levels simultaneously, pay more attention to Taiwan's machine tool industry is the China market.
In the just-concluded 12th Shanghai International Machine Tool Show, the Taiwan Machine Tool & Components Industry Association, Shanghai International Machine Tool Fair as co-organizer, organized a Taiwan machine tool 25 exhibitors, together with Taiwan businessmen in mainland China openedenterprises, a total of more than 200 Taiwanese exhibitors, representing the current machine tool show 20% of total exhibitors.
Many Taiwan enterprises leaders have been urged to strengthen mainland China and Taiwan between the two places cooperation and exchanges Ru boss leading industry in Taiwan Taiwan Jichuang Friend Group, its president, Mr. Zhu Zhiyang Duoci called on Taiwan and the mainland 签订 Dangju accelerate economic cooperation framework agreement(ECFA), the cross-strait exchanges and promote cooperation to pave the way machinery industry.Recently, ECFA has finally settled, Taiwan machinery exports to mainland China can be removed about 10% of the tariff, will greatly enhance the competitiveness of Taiwan's machine tool manufacturers.
Oriental Morning Post, according to data released by the mainland to Taiwan reached 500 tariff reduction products, which accounted for 107 of mechanical products, mechanical products, especially machine tools and various types of grinding machines occupy a considerable proportion.Tax cuts mainly for machine tools: metal cutting CNC horizontal lathe, CNC lathes and other metal cutting, metal cutting CNC drilling machine, CNC surface grinding machine, grinding machine, grinding machine, polishing machine, slotting, broaching, sawing orcutting machine, planer, forging or stamping machines and hammers, not numerically controlled punching, slotting machines, punching machines and dual-purpose machine tool parts.
China Machine Tool Industry Association executive vice president of Satisfying that such preferential policies will be very beneficial to Taiwan's machine tool market in China to consolidate the status of machine tools on the mainland will inevitably have an impact and influence.
But there is a trend has changed, that the mainland and Taiwan machine tool machine tool products, the gap is shrinking, or that the game forces the two sides quietly changing.
Comparison of competitive advantage
The current global market for CNC machine tool is divided into several basic camp, Switzerland, Germany, came in first echelon, second echelon behind Japan, the United States came in the third echelon, China Taiwan ranked fourth echelon areas, while the mainland machinethe technological level of Taiwan's machine tool and is the least difference.
Satisfying, said, "Taiwan's machine tool industry bodies have three characteristics, namely, basic does not produce low-end products, CNC Jichuang Ye Jing Ji Xing basically do not do the; 2 is not available Tai size, heavy Chanpin the Shengchannengli; 3 is a function of Bu Jian Industryrapid development, a full range. "
The recent trend shows that the development of China machine tool industry faster machine tool industry in Taiwan, but the functional components to except.
Scroll feature industry experts Huang Zuyao introduced rolling functional components in Taiwan has developed very rapidly start time later than the mainland about 10 years, but above the level of development but on the mainland.Like the silver, Intime and other enterprises, relatively abundant capital, with Japan, Germany, the United States and other countries, corporate communications flow than the mainland, and their level of large-scale production than the high number of mainland enterprises.In particular reference is the feature of Taiwan enterprises attach great importance to basic research, Huang Zuyao, said he collected a lot of rolling Taiwan counterparts to write feature articles in basic theoretical research, studied very thoroughly.Taiwanese companies are willing to invest in this area, many companies are recruiting professionals specializing in fundamental research.
In addition to feature businesses, CNC machine tools for large-scale enterprises, research and development, technology, procurement, storage, quality control, production, sales, distribution, analysis of all aspects of the mainland and Taiwan enterprises are enterprises with the gap between the mainland's majormachine tool enterprise groups in addition to key parts of the production and R & D level is relatively backward, the ideas in the research and development, advanced optical / machine / electrical overall design is also quite different.
However, mainland enterprises have their own unique advantages: they Jubei Duonianchuantong Jichuangshengchan basis, Tong Shi Zai Mouyi Zhizaohuanjie to acquire the technical accumulation, You Qi yes machinery Bufen the casting / forging technology of technical precipitation, Rongziqudao widely, with some traditionalmarket share and capital accumulation can be an early form of business conglomerates, through the acquisition, holding means relative absorption and digestion of foreign advanced technology.
It is precisely because of this advantage, that prompted the continental level in recent years, machine tool rapidly advanced, great catching up the momentum of Taiwan's machine tool products.Narrow this gap, so that the mainland to Taiwan machine tool machine tools had no small impact.
But in mid-range machine tool products, competition, can not ignore the strength of Taiwan's machine tools.Satisfying concluded that "the competitive advantage of Taiwan Machine Tool now mainly in: the same specifications as the product quality should be better; delivery is relatively shorter; because some foreign policy of blockade, the procurement cost somewhat lower than the mainland manufacturers. In addition,the quality of personnel throughout the industry, enterprise management level, the mainland is still a considerable gap between enterprises. "
In fact, the game market in the future, the quality will be a very important part of a competition.
Recently, Zhoushan, Inspection and Quarantine on a batch of imports from Taiwan, the value of 506,000 U.S. dollars in two CNC machines tested, and found that two devices do not meet the requirements of the mandatory technical regulations, it is this year Zhoushan Boardthe third consecutive CNC machine tools imported from Taiwan were detected safety problems.
It is understood that the 2 sets of CNC machine tools in the mechanical, electrical safety, do not meet the seven aspects of the national mandatory technical regulations, there are serious safety problems, the hidden danger is not eliminated, easily lead to relevant personnel stabbed, electric shock and other accidents.
This incident is clearly a direct impact on the quality of Taiwan's machine tool credibility.
