US machine tool orders temporarily lead the North Central

At present, the U.S. economic development is very weak, not optimistic. Experts believe that the hollowing out of the U.S. economy is largely responsible. The hollowing out of economic development generally refers to a country's economic development mainly relying on the financial industry rather than the manufacturing economy, resulting in a slow recovery after the economic crisis. At present, the United States, as the world's leading country in high-end manufacturing technology, still retains a certain vitality in its machine tool industry. According to the data released by the American Association of Manufacturing Technology, in January 2013, the order value of metal processing machine tools in the United States was 370 million US dollars, a decrease of 26.5% from the previous month and a decrease of 12.2% from the same period last year; the order volume was 2,040 units, a decrease of 108 units from the previous month and a decrease of 5 units from the same period last year. . In the whole year of 2012, the order value of metal processing machine tools in the United States was 5.71 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 2.6%, the order volume was 28,202 units, and the monthly average was 2,350 units. Industry insiders said that despite the decline in orders in January, the number of orders at the end of 2012 was large, which was better than the overall economic environment, and the manufacturing industry was still growing strongly. In January 2013, the US metal forming machine tool orders were 340 million US dollars, down 20.3% month-on-month and 14.4% year-on-year; forming machine tools were 32.43 million US dollars, down 59.6% month-on-month and up 18.2% year-on-year. According to the data released by the American Association of Manufacturing Technology, in March 2013, the order value of metal processing machine tools in the United States was 510 million US dollars, an increase of 30.4% month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of 3.2%; . In March, the US metal forming machine tool orders were 470 million US dollars, an increase of 33.1% month-on-month and a year-on-year increase of 3.7%. The number of orders was 2,191 units, an increase of 195 units month-on-month, a year-on-year decrease of 168; 1.9%, and the order volume was 142 units, an increase of 7 units month-on-month and an increase of 11 units year-on-year. In the first quarter of 2013, the order value of metal processing machine tools in the United States was 1.28 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 5.0%, and the order volume was 6,535 units; among which, the metal cutting machine tool order value was 1.16 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 6.7%, and the order volume was 6,127 units; The order value of machine tools was 120 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 15.2%, and the order volume was 408 units.
