Swiss machine tool industry: calming up and then calming down


The machine tool industry has always played an important role in the Swiss industry. According to the latest statistics of The Swiss Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Industries (SWISSMEM), as of the third quarter of 2008, the number of 90 machine tool member companies in the association was 11,941. .

Data show that in the first three quarters of 2008 (data for the fourth quarter will be released at the end of February), the total number of orders in the Swiss mechanical and electronic engineering industry fell by 12.7% compared with the same period in 2007, with orders from Switzerland falling by 4.4% year-on-year. %, the year-on-year decline of orders from abroad was 14.8%.

If only in the third quarter of last year, the number of new orders of SWISSMEM member units is more significant than that of the same period of the previous year, which is 20.2%, of which, the number of domestic orders has dropped by 9.2%, and the foreign market has dropped by 22.9%. . In terms of sales, sales in the third quarter of 2008 continued to rise by 6.5% compared to the same period in 2007. Among them, the Swiss domestic market increased by 1.9%, and the overseas market increased by 7.8%.

According to SWISSMEM statistics, in the first three quarters of 2008, Swiss machinery and electronic engineering products exported 60.759 billion yuan (unit: Swiss franc, the same below), an increase of 5.8% year-on-year; in 2007, this increase was two The number is 13.3%. During the same period, the total amount of Swiss mechanical and electronic engineering products sold to EU (EU) and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) amounted to 40.1 billion Swiss francs, which accounted for 65.9% of the total SWISSMEM membership; and sold to Asia. The part accounted for 10.8%.

Further research statistics can also be found that, from the situation in 2007, the largest consumer of Swiss machine tools is Germany, with a consumption of 1,415.8 million, an increase of 15.2% over the same period of the previous year, accounting for 24% of the total sales of Swiss machine tools; The Swiss native has digested 18% of the machine tools, with a total consumption of 1.0489 billion, an increase of 28.4% year-on-year.

It is worth mentioning that the total value of Swiss machine tools sold to China in 2006 and 2007 reached 270 million and 327.9 million respectively, an increase from the same period of the previous year, which was as high as 33.5% and 21.4% respectively. Undoubtedly, the importance of the Chinese market is increasing for Swiss machine tool manufacturers.

Compared with 2002, the output value of machine tools, machine tool components and accessories in Switzerland in 2003 has been slightly reduced, but the output value in 2004 has rebounded again, reaching a level that is basically the same as in 2002 and slightly exceeded. After that, the entire machine tool industry entered a period of rapid development, especially in the past two or three years. From the perspective of the whole machine, the output value in the first three quarters of 2008 has basically remained the same as that in 2005. It is not difficult to find that the Swiss machinery manufacturing industry has experienced a rapid growth, and now the speed has slowed down slightly.
