Orders in the EU region were 10.249 billion yen, down 9.1% from the previous month and up 26.1% year-on-year. In the first three quarters, the order value of machine tools from China was 255.664 billion yen, ranking first in the overseas market of Japanese machine tool orders, with a year-on-year increase of 41%; followed by the United States, with an order value of 148.253 billion yen, an increase of 63.4% year-on-year; the third place was In Germany, the order value was 40.935 billion yen, a year-on-year increase of 70.6%. Recently, although orders from China have decreased, orders from Europe and the United States have grown for 21 consecutive months, and the equipment investment plans of automobile and machinery companies in Europe and the United States have always maintained a slow growth trend. At the same time, due to the impact of the floods in Thailand, the machine tools and equipment of some enterprises in Thailand need to be replaced or repaired. After the situation stabilizes, the demand for machine tools and accessories will soar. In September, in terms of overseas demand for Japanese machine tools, the order according to the order demand was as follows: although China still ranked first with an order value of 25.101 billion yen, the order value increased by 26.9% month-on-month, but decreased by 2.6% year-on-year, accounting for Japan's overseas orders.
