The machine tool is called the "industrial master machine", which is an important basis for equipment manufacturing and one of the important indicators to measure the level of industrialization in a country. As the "teeth" of the machine tool, the performance and quality of the tool directly affect the production efficiency of the machine tool and the processing quality.
For a long time, China’s high-end CNC machine tools and CNC tools have been monopolized by a small number of top foreign manufacturers. In 2019, the World Science and Technology Innovation Forum released an investigation report on "20 Technology Products China Relies heavily on Imports", pointing out that high-end CNC machine tools, CNC tools, Chips, lithography machines and operating systems are still products that China heavily relies on imports. With the upgrading and adjustment of industrial structure, the promotion of national strategies such as Made in China 2025, and the escalation of international trade frictions, the import substitution of high-end CNC machine tools and CNC tools and independent innovation breakthroughs are imminent.
The "Classification of Strategic Emerging Industries (2018)" issued by the National Bureau of Statistics lists cutting insert deep processing and CNC inserts as key products and services. In addition, in October 2019, the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue (2019 Edition)" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission clearly stated that "high-end CNC machine tools and supporting CNC systems: five-axis and above linkage CNC machine tools, CNC systems, high-precision, high-performance "Cutting tools, measuring instruments and abrasives" are listed as encouraged industries. Benefiting from the encouragement and support of national policies, the CNC tool industry will usher in a new round of rapid growth.
Current status of the tool industry
(1) Global tool market
According to QY Research's analysis report, global cutting tool consumption in 2016 and 2017 was 33.1 billion U.S. dollars and 34 billion U.S. dollars, respectively, and is expected to grow to 39 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. The average compound annual growth rate from 2016 to 2022 is 2.7%.
(2) my country's tool market
With the transformation and upgrading of my country's modern manufacturing industry, since 2016, the total national tool consumption has shown a rapid growth trend, from 32.15 billion yuan in 2016 to 42.1 billion yuan in 2018, with an average annual compound growth rate of 14.43%. At the same time, the overall level of the CNC tool industry is constantly improving, with domestic brands replacing imports, short delivery times, and sophisticated services. From 2016 to 2018, the proportion of imported tools in the total national tool consumption decreased from 37.17% to 35.15%, which shows that my country's dependence on imported high-end tools is decreasing year by year, and domestic high-end CNC tools are increasing year by year. In the future, as international trade frictions intensify and the localization of high-end tools accelerates, the capacity of my country's high-end tool market will continue to grow rapidly.

Total annual consumption of national knives from 2005 to 2018
my country's consumption of machine tools has ranked first in the world for many years. In 2018, the consumption of metal processing machine tools reached US$23.46 billion. The cutting tools are used by supporting machine tools. In developed countries such as Germany, the United States, and Japan, the law of coordinated and balanced development of modern CNC machine tools and CNC tools is very obvious. The consumption ratio of cutting tools and machine tools in my country is relatively low, but it has grown rapidly, from 16% in 2011 to 22% in 2018. Compared with 40% of tool and machine tool consumption ratio in developed countries, there is still huge room for improvement in the level of tool consumption in my country.
As the product structure becomes more complex, machining accuracy and efficiency requirements continue to increase, machine tools are gradually moving towards numerical control. The "Made in China 2025" plan clearly puts forward the goal of "high-end CNC machine tools and infrastructure equipment". By 2025, the domestic market share of high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment will exceed 80%. In 2018, China’s newly-added metal cutting machine tools have a numerical control rate of 39.02%. Compared with the nearly 100% machine tool numerical control rate in developed countries such as Japan, China’s metal cutting machine tools have a large room for improvement. Consumables, medium and high-end CNC tools have a broad market prospect.
In summary, the demand for domestic high-precision and high-performance cutting tools is expected to further increase, and domestic high-end CNC tool manufacturers will fully benefit.

(3) my country's tool import and export situation
With the intensification of international trade frictions and export controls, the lack of key core technologies will bound industry and economic development. As a strategic emerging industry of CNC tools, accelerating their localization and realizing import substitution are of great significance to national economic security. According to the estimates of the Tool Branch of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, my country's total tool consumption in 2018 reached 42.1 billion yuan, of which the annual consumption of domestic tools was about 27.3 billion yuan, and the imported tools were about 14.8 billion yuan (including domestic production of foreign brands). Although domestically-made cutting tools account for 2/3 of the total market share in my country's cutting tool consumption market, they are mainly low-end products. Among the 14.8 billion yuan of imported knives, most of them are highly efficient knives urgently needed by modern manufacturing.
Since 2016, domestic companies have increased their R&D investment and innovation, and through introduction and reabsorption, they have broken through some technical bottlenecks in the field of high-end CNC tools, and have successively developed a batch of high-end tools that can rival foreign advanced products. The import dependence of CNC tools is gradually decreasing. According to statistics from the Tool Branch of the China Machine Tool Industry Association, my country's tool exports in 2019 were 18.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.92%; imports were 11.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 4.4%. But it is worth noting that for the same type of tool products, the price of imported tools is much higher than the export price. For example, the price difference between the import and export prices of coated blades is 3.37 times, that of milling cutters is 2.34 times, boring reamers are 94 times, superhard boring reamers 29 times. It can be seen that the localization of high-end CNC tools still has considerable potential, and import substitution will become one of the most important development trends of my country's high-end CNC tool industry in the future.
Industry development trend
(1) Encouraged by national policies and driven by the downstream demand market, the CNC tool industry is developing rapidly
In recent years, with the upgrading of industrial structure and the advancement of national strategies such as high-end manufacturing, various national encouragement policies have laid a policy foundation for the healthy and stable development of my country's cutting tool industry. The "Thirteenth Five-Year" Special Plan for Scientific and Technological Innovation in the Field of Advanced Manufacturing Technology listed "high-end CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment" as one of the main directions to carry out key task deployments, and clearly "focus on two key service areas of aerospace and automotive. Overcome bottlenecks such as high-end CNC systems and functional components." In addition, the "Classification of Strategic Emerging Industries (2018)" lists "deep processing of cutting inserts (CNC inserts, welding inserts, ordinary indexable inserts, etc.), CNC inserts (aerospace, automotive industry, high-end equipment manufacturing)" as the focus Products and services, and the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue (2019 Edition)" clearly stated that "high-end CNC machine tools and supporting CNC systems: 5-axis and above linkage CNC machine tools, CNC systems, high-precision, high-performance cutting tools, measuring tools "Meters and abrasives" are listed as encouraged industries.
CNC tools are widely used in automotive, aerospace, energy, rail transit, mold manufacturing, construction machinery, consumer electronics, military industry, petrochemicals and other fields. The above-mentioned fields are mostly industries that will be developed in the future. Their market scale and development status are important for CNC tools. The industry has an important influence. China has become a major manufacturing country. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, the scale of my country's manufacturing industry continued to grow from 2004 to 2019. In 2019, the GDP scale of my country's manufacturing industry reached 26.92 trillion. The rapid development of the manufacturing industry has brought about an increase in the demand for CNC tools and other machine tool products. Taking the aircraft manufacturing field as an example, according to the "Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Market Forecast Annual Report (2018-2037)", the total market space of the aircraft manufacturing field in the next 20 years is about 10.4 trillion yuan, and the downstream application market has a huge capacity, which is important for the development of high-end CNC tools. And localization provides a strong market foundation.
(2) The urgency of localization and import substitution of high-end CNC tools has increased
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a manufacturing power, accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing, promote my country's industry toward the middle and high end of the global value chain, and cultivate several world-class advanced manufacturing clusters. Therefore, import substitution of high-end tools is a necessary stage for my country to become a manufacturing power, and it is also the general trend of foreign trade strategy. According to the statistics of import and export data from the General Administration of Customs, my country's import substitution is mainly concentrated in low- and medium-tech downstream industries, such as the white goods industry. The localization of medium-, high-tech and high-tech products has not been deep enough. As one of the core upstream areas of the manufacturing industry, the machine tool industry is an important direction of the future localization strategy.
High-end CNC cutting tools are mainly used in high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, defense and military industry, nuclear industry, and automobiles and ships. The above-mentioned industries are related to the lifeline of the national economy and involve national defense security and national security. Domestic tool companies started late, and there is still a certain gap in technical level and processing technology compared with tool companies in developed industrialized countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. At present, domestic CNC cutting tools are still dominated by low-end products. High-end CNC cutting tools have long been dependent on imports. The market share is monopolized by international giants such as Sandvik Group, Kennametal, Kyocera, Mapa, and Iscar. It is conducive to the adjustment and upgrading of China's industrial structure and poses a threat to China's industry and national security. Therefore, the localization and import substitution of high-end CNC tools is very urgent.
(3) High-end, customized, one-stop product and solution providers have obvious competitive advantages
With the rapid and vigorous development of modern manufacturing, the complexity and difficulty of processing parts and components in high-end equipment manufacturing industries such as aerospace, defense and military industry, nuclear industry, and shipbuilding are getting higher and higher, and the performance and precision of CNC tools are also required. Higher and higher, high-end cutting tools have advantages in terms of structure, materials, coatings, etc., which can meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for precision machining of parts.
On the other hand, as the cutting processing technology of different end customers develops towards specialization and high efficiency, the customization and individualization requirements of tools are increasing. Tool suppliers need to follow the specific indicators of their processing environment, processing equipment and processed parts. The design of the tool allocation plan, and customized production and installation, put forward higher requirements for the design ability, response speed, customized production and service capabilities of the tool manufacturer, so as to provide customized, one-stop products with high cost performance A comprehensive tool manufacturer with tooling solutions is in an advantageous position in the competition in the same industry.
Overview of major companies in the industry
From a global perspective, international giants such as Sandvik Group, Kennametal, Kyocera, Mapa, and Iscar have leading advantages in the field of CNC tools, especially high-end CNC tools. They rely on mature technology and strong R&D technology. The strong, long-established brand and high-quality and stable customer resources occupy most of the market share in the high-end CNC tool market. China's CNC tool industry started late and has the characteristics of being scattered and small. According to statistics released by the China Machine Tool Industry Association, as of the end of 2019, there were 5710 enterprises in the machine tool industry above designated size in China, including 715 cutting tools, measuring tools and measuring instruments. . With the vigorous development of modern manufacturing and the encouragement and support of national policies, China's CNC tool industry has emerged such as Zhuzhou Diamond, Xiamen Jinlu, Shanghai Tool Factory, Sentai Inge, Hengfeng Tools, Wald, etc. Enterprises, some of the key products of the above-mentioned enterprises have reached the international leading level in core parameters, and have directly competed with international tool giants in the global market, becoming an important force for high-end CNC tools to achieve import substitution.
