Annual output will reach to machine tool, spending $90 billion to $14.5 billion, about 10 years China market share for more than 50%.
09, machine tool product export continues to grow rapidly. From January to August, metalworking machine tools 10.47 export 44.79% billion, up, CNC metalworking machine tools 3.02 export 47.01% million us dollars, up, metalworking machine tools 28.85% export amount. Among them, metal-cutting lathes 774 million us dollars, export growth 34.53%, Forming machine, export growth 84.66% $2.73.

The rapid growth in exports, China imported machine is lower. From January to August, China imported metalworking machine tools for 44.98 billion, up 4.97% decrease.
