On January 26, 2012, the American Association of Manufacturing Technology (AMT) released the latest statistics on the import and export trade of metalworking machine tools in the United States in November 2011. In November, the export value of US metal processing machine tools was 190.8 million US dollars, a decrease of 15.6% month-on-month and a year-on-year decrease of 6.8%; the import value was 493 million US dollars, a month-on-month decrease of 6.9%, and a year-on-year increase of 72.32%. In November, the U.S. trade deficit for metalworking machine tools was US$302 million, down 0.4% month-on-month and a substantial increase of 271.71% year-on-year. From January 2010 to November 2011, the trend of import and export of US metalworking machine tools In November, the US machine tool and manufacturing technology exports were both lower than the previous month. In November, the US exported 190.8 million US dollars of metal processing machine tools, and the export of metal cutting machine tools was 104.2 million US dollars. , down 19.9% u200bu200bfrom the previous month; the export of metal forming machine tools was 86.6 million US dollars, down 9.7% from the previous month; from January to November, the US exported a total of 1.542 billion US dollars of metal cutting machine tools, a year-on-year increase of 23.2%; metal forming machine tools were 850 million US dollars, an increase of 25.8% year-on-year . In November, the US export of CNC machine tools was US$75 million, down 11.4% from the previous month; the export of other manufacturing technologies was US$876 million, down 8.7% from the previous month. From January to November, the export of CNC machine tools was US$997 million, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%; the export of other manufacturing technologies was US$9.423 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.1%. Increased demand for imported CNC machine tools From the perspective of trade deficit, among metal cutting machine tools, metal forming machine tools and CNC machine tools, the United States has the largest demand for imported CNC machine tools. In November, metal cutting machine tools, which accounted for the largest share of metal processing machine tools, achieved a trade deficit of US$314 million, and a deficit of US$1.894 billion from January to November, a year-on-year increase of 217.3%; while CNC machine tools achieved a trade deficit of US$305 million in November, from January to November. The deficit was US$2.033 billion, a year-on-year increase of 194.1%. Metal cutting machine tools accounted for 84.9% of the total imports of metal processing machine tools. In November, the United States imported 493 million US dollars of metal processing machine tools, of which imported metal cutting machine tools were 419 million US dollars, down 1.0% from the previous month; imported metal forming machine tools were 74.3 million US dollars, down 30.2% from the previous month. . Metal cutting machine tools accounted for 84.9% of the total imports of processing machine tools. From January to November, the United States imported 4.237 billion US dollars of metal processing machine tools, of which metal cutting machine tools were 3.436 billion US dollars, an increase of 85.9% year-on-year; metal forming machine tools were 802 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 50.7%. In November, the United States imported 380 million US dollars of CNC machine tools, down 3.6% from the previous month; imported other manufacturing technologies of 1.129 billion US dollars, up 6.2% from the previous month. From January to November, the United States imported 3.029 billion US dollars of CNC machine tools, a year-on-year increase of 96.6%; imported other manufacturing technologies of 11.589 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 27.2%.
