　　On August 6, the China Machinery Industry Federation announced the economic performance of the machinery industry in the first half of the year.

In the first half of the year, the added value of China's machinery industry increased by 22.3% year-on-year, which was 6.4 and 5.2 percentage points higher than that of the national industry and manufacturing industry, and the two-year average growth rate was 9.8%.

The year-on-year growth rate of the main economic indicators of my country's machinery industry is still at a relatively high level.

　　Chen Bin, Executive Vice President of the China Machinery Industry Federation, said that thanks to the effective control of the domestic epidemic and the continuous release of macro policy effects, the machinery industry market demand gradually recovered in the first half of the year, the operating environment continued to improve, and the export situation was better than expected. , The trend of stable production in the industry is becoming more and more obvious.

　　The machinery industry mainly involves five major categories of national economic industries, general equipment manufacturing, special equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing, and instrument and meter manufacturing in the first half of the year. The added value increased by 24.3%, 20.1%, 21.8%, and 29.4% and 19.2%, the two-year average growth rate both exceeded 8%.

　　"Import and export trade has greatly exceeded expectations." Chen Bin said that since 2017, the total annual import and export trade volume of my country's machinery industry has remained above 700 billion US dollars. In the first half of this year, in only half a year, my country's machinery industry has accumulated total import and export volume. 491.72 billion US dollars, an increase of 36% year-on-year.

The total export value was US$311.66 billion, a year-on-year increase of 40.3%, and the total import value was US$180.06 billion, a year-on-year increase of 29.2%. The trade surplus was US$131.6 billion, both hitting a record high in the same period.

At the same time, he also said that given the complexity of overseas markets, it is not good to predict future growth.

　　Chen Shihua, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, also stated that in the first half of the year, my country’s auto exports also doubled. Although the data on Tesla’s exports are included, it can also reflect the growth of my country’s own brand vehicles, especially new energy vehicles. The international competitiveness has increased significantly.

　　The growth rate of efficiency indicators for the machinery industry is still at a high level.

In the first half of the year, the machinery industry achieved a cumulative operating income of 12.49 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.85%; realized a total profit of 801.32 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 41.99%; the growth rate of both indicators was at a relatively high level.

In terms of different industries, the 14 sub-sectors of the machinery industry are operating well, and their total profits have achieved a growth of more than 10%. Among them, the growth rate of other civilian machinery industry exceeds 90%, and the growth rate of machine tool industry exceeds 85%, ranking the top Two, the profit growth rate of electrical appliances, robotics and intelligent manufacturing, and the automotive industry also exceeded 40%.

　　"The machinery industry has many sub-sectors and has the characteristics of'the East is not bright, the West is bright'." Chen Bin said that besides the low base factor, there are two reasons for maintaining a high growth rate in the efficiency index of the machinery industry.

First, the price of raw materials was still low in the first half of last year, and companies had the habit of stocking up in advance, so the pressure of rising costs did not appear at the beginning of this year. Second, the state introduced a series of policies to reduce taxes and fees, and relieve difficulties, which provided a way for companies to increase revenue. condition.

　　Driven by innovation, the strategic emerging industries of the machinery industry support the development of the industry.

In the first half of the year, the machinery industry’s strategic emerging industries and related industries achieved a cumulative operating income of 9.49 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.07%, and the growth rate was 1.22 percentage points higher than the average level of the machinery industry; The speed is 3.08 percentage points higher than the average level of the machinery industry.

　　In this regard, Chen Bin said that the sales prices of products in strategic emerging industries are higher, so the benefits will be better than the overall level.

Among them, new energy vehicles are the main trend, and my country has already accumulated well in the new energy vehicle industry chain.

In addition, the impact of the sharp increase in raw material prices on the efficiency of machinery companies has begun to appear. The continuous evolution of overseas epidemics has exacerbated the complexity of the foreign trade situation. In addition, the increase in the comparison base has put pressure on the growth of indicators in the second half of this year. The machinery industry has been operating smoothly throughout the year. The task of high-quality development remains arduous.

　　Chen Bin believes that the overall economic operation of the machinery industry this year will show a trend of high before and low. The growth rate of major economic indicators in the second half of the year will be significantly slower than that of the first half, but the entire machinery industry is confident of completing the annual target.

It is estimated that the growth rate of the added value, operating income and total profit of China's machinery industry will reach about 6% this year, and foreign trade import and export are expected to achieve new breakthroughs.
