Six measures to protect the machine tool industry "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" from big changes

From the end of the "Tenth Five-Year" period to 125.96 billion yuan in 2010 to 553.68 billion yuan in 2010, during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, China's machine tool industry, the total industrial output value growth rate as high as 339.56%. In the next five years, the output value target of China's machine tool industry will directly target 800 billion yuan, while the annual output of CNC machine tools will exceed 250,000 units, and the domestic market share will reach over 70%. The achievement of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” will inevitably require the establishment of a sound protection mechanism and safeguard measures in the market, policies, etc., and guide the industry to gradually “change from big to strong”.

"The 12th Five-Year Development Plan for the Machine Tool Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning") points out that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, it is necessary to optimize the market environment, support the development of functional component industries, increase investment in technological transformation, and improve Six measures, including the import and export policies, the promotion of the construction of public service platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the strengthening of the overall coordination mechanism, ensure the smooth development of the industry.

Optimizing the market environment According to the market environment for industrial development, “Planning” specifically pointed out that all industries are encouraged to actively purchase and use domestic machine tools and products, and preferentially adopt domestically produced equipment under the same conditions, in particular, encourage the use of domestically produced high-end products and the first one ( Sets of products to expand domestic market share. This means that it is still possible for the purchase and use of some domestic products to continue or even promote a series of preferential policies and guarantee policies in the next five years.

Supporting the Development of Functional Components Industry “Planning” refers to the development ideas of CNC systems and functional component industries in many places, and pointed out that the development of CNC systems and functional components has become a bottleneck restricting the development of the industry. "Planning" specifically pointed out: "We must further improve the environment for the development of numerical control systems and functional components industries, and support the development of functional component industries through various support channels, and build a tightly integrated and integrated industrial chain with 'mainframe, matching, and service'. A reasonable industrial layout will be formed.” In particular, it will continue to support key enterprises with a better foundation for the production and manufacture of numerical control systems and functional components, increase investment in R&D funding and technological transformation funds, and lean toward the functional component industry in terms of policies. Encourage funds to be raised through various forms such as listing and equity participation. While increasing technology and capital investment, a common interest community will be formed to achieve greater agglomeration economic benefits and industrial division of labor benefits, and further promote the development of domestic CNC systems and functional component industries.

To increase the technological transformation of capital investment in technological transformation is an important means to accelerate the sustainable development of China's machine tool industry, improve product technology and product quality. The "planning" suggests that government agencies at all levels should increase the concentration of investment in technological transformation, focusing on the research and development and industrialization of high-end products such as machine tools, numerical control systems, and functional components; and give full play to the support and driving role of the central technological reform policy. Mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments and enterprises and expand the financing channels. The technological transformation projects must be strictly examined, and it is necessary to avoid redundant construction and to prevent the dispersion of funds.

Perfecting the import and export policy The import and export policy has always had a very important impact on the machine tool industry. In fact, the import and export policy is also an extremely effective policy measure for the product structure of the company. "Plan" proposed that according to the development status of China's machine tool industry, on the basis of extensively listening to relevant competent departments, industry associations and corporate opinions, constantly adjust and improve the import and export policies. In particular, it was pointed out that the development and market promotion of domestic CNC machine tools, numerical control systems and functional components should be further encouraged, and more preferential policies should be given to the export of medium and high-grade products; the import tariff and the adjustment role of VAT in import links should be fully utilized. It is not only beneficial to the import of foreign advanced equipment, the introduction and reference of foreign advanced technology, but also can leave a certain market development space for domestic enterprises, promote the overall upgrading of China's machine tool industry, improve international competitiveness.

Promoting the construction of public service platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises To speed up the construction of public service platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises is an important measure to implement the national plan to promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and the development plan of the machine tool industry. The "planning" suggests that government agencies at all levels should continue to improve support policies for small and medium-sized enterprises in the machine tool industry, and give full play to the guiding role of public finance funds, providing financing, technical advice, personnel training, standardization, testing, measurement, etc. for SMEs. Services, improve the credit guarantee system for SMEs, study and formulate policies to promote the development of SMEs, and accelerate the development of SMEs.

Strengthen the overall coordination mechanism "Planning" also put forward proposals in the overall coordination mechanism: The competent government departments at all levels should strengthen and improve the overall coordination mechanism based on overall planning, overall promotion, and step-by-step implementation; Key technology developments, product development, demonstration projects and industrialization of high-end CNC machine tools and functional components and other key development products will accelerate common technology research, key technology research and product development, and lay the foundation for upgrading products. At the same time, he specifically pointed out that the role of intermediary organizations such as industry associations should be further brought into play to assist the competent government departments in the coordination of industrial operations, industrial safety and damage early warning, information exchange and major policies, implementation of major science and technology projects, and other services to promote the scientific development of the industry.
