According to statistics released by the American Association of Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the American Machine Tool Distributors Association (AMT鄄DA) on June 8, the consumption of machine tools in the United States in April 2009 was 97.04 million US dollars, a decrease of 41.5% compared with March. In April 2008, the US$435.34 million fell sharply by 77.7%. From January to April 2009, the total consumption of machine tools was 497.4 million US dollars, which was 70.7% lower than the figure for the same period in 2008. From the perspective of product categories, the consumption of metal cutting machine tools in April 2009 was 86.58 million US dollars, a decrease of 41.1% from the previous month and a decrease of 78.5% from the same period last year. The consumption of metal forming and manufacturing machine tools was US$10.47 million, down 44.8% month-on-month and 68.0% year-on-year. Douglas K.Woods, chairman of AMT, said that when industry experts speculated whether the current economic situation had bottomed out, the consumption of machine tools dropped by 41% month-on-month due to the bankruptcy of the two major auto groups GM and Chrysler in April. . The automobile industry is the most important downstream industry of the machine tool industry, but at present the automobile industry in the United States is facing an unprecedented crisis, which is undoubtedly the most significant blow to the development of the machine tool industry.
