In recent years, China's CNC machine tool industry has developed rapidly. While the technical level of CNC machine tool has been steadily improved, it also continues to attract foreign-funded enterprises to enrich the domestic market. According to the prediction of relevant institutions, combined with the total assets data of China's CNC machine tool industry and China's economic growth data in recent years, according to the linear regression prediction method, it is preliminarily estimated that the asset scale of China's CNC machine tool industry will reach 270 billion yuan by 2020.

In fact, as one of the three pillar industries of manufacturing industry, China's CNC machine tools have made rapid development in terms of product type, technical level, quality and output, and have made major breakthroughs in some key technologies. According to the data, in 2010, the output of CNC machine tools in China reached 236000, with a year-on-year increase of 62.2%. There are 1500 kinds of CNC machine tools available for the market in China, almost covering the varieties and categories of the whole metal cutting machine tools and the main forging machinery. In 2014, the output of CNC machine tools in China reached 391000. According to statistics, from January to November 2016, China imported 10245 CNC machine tools, with a year-on-year decrease of 15.9%. The import volume in November was 1004 sets.

Behind the rise in the output of CNC machine tools and the decline in the output of imported machine tools is the steady improvement of the technical level of CNC machine tools in China. Machine tool manufacturing industry is the engine and heart of China's industry and national economy, especially major technical equipment. It is a concrete embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength and plays an important role in the construction of national economic modernization.

With the continuous progress of the comprehensive strength of China's CNC machine tool industry, more and more large overseas enterprises choose to stay in the Chinese market. For example, Emak group, the world's leading supplier of metal processing solutions, announced the establishment of Emak (Chongqing) Machinery Co., Ltd. and the establishment of Chongqing plant, making Emak the largest European machine tool manufacturer in China, with a total of 550 employees producing high-end manufacturing systems for China and even the world.

Numerical control machine tool is not only the necessary equipment for industrial manufacturing, but also one of the necessary equipment. At the same time of mechanical manufacturing, the purpose of numerical control machine tool is to greatly increase the scope of use, promote industrial production and improve work efficiency to a certain extent. Since the technology of CNC machine tools in China has developed to a mature stage, various fields have begun to pay extensive attention to CNC machine tools.

In recent years, the demand of important equipment manufacturing industries such as national defense, aviation, high-speed railway, automobile and mould has increased significantly, which has driven the significant growth of the machine tool industry. In the past five years, the annual compound growth rate of China's CNC machine tool output has been 37.39%, 29.94% in the past 10 years and 22.10% in the past 15 years. Driven by the national revitalization of the equipment manufacturing industry and international industrial transfer, the growth rate of China's investment in equipment and tools purchase will continue to maintain a level of about 20% in the next 5-10 years, and the demand of the machine tool industry will continue to grow at a high speed. Driven by demand, China's CNC machine tool output will also maintain rapid growth. With the deepening of economic structure adjustment, the CNC machine tool and CNC system industry will still develop rapidly.

According to the prediction of relevant institutions, the output of China's CNC metal cutting machine tools will reach 800000 units in 2017, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 3.47% in the next five years (2017 ~ 2021), and the output of China's CNC metal cutting machine tools will reach 850000 units in 2021. In addition, in 2017, the output of China's CNC metal forming machine tools will reach 335000 units, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 6.33% in the next five years (2017-2021). In 2021, the output of China's CNC metal forming machine tools will reach 389000 units.
