Chinese tool industry after years of development , although the accounts for market dominance , but the low-tech , low value-added products , not in line with international service standards , there are still many problems in the development process , must be resolved.

Tech and low-tech
At this stage, carbide cutting tools in developed countries accounted for tool type dominance , the proportion of up to 70 %, while high-speed steel cutting tools , but at a rate of 1% to 2 % annual reduction , the proportion has dropped to below 30% .
"
Carbide cutting tools in China has become the main tool required processing enterprises , has been widely applied in the fields of heavy industry, automobiles and auto parts production, mold manufacturing , aerospace and other" International Association Secretary-General Luo Baihui mold that my tool business there are still blind , producing a large number of high speed steel cutting tools as well as some low-grade standards , did not take into account the market saturation and business needs, eventually with high value-added, high-tech and high-end tool market lost to foreign companies .

The current annual sales of approximately $ 14.5 billion of knives , carbide cutting tools which lack the proportion of 25% , but the necessary domestic manufacturing carbide cutting tools have occupied more than 50% of the tool , which has been blind production seriously failed to meet the growing demand for domestic manufacturing carbide cutting tools , thus forming a vacuum in the high-end market , was eventually dominated by foreign enterprises .

Low value-added products
In 2007, China produced 16,500 tons of carbide , there are 4,500 tons for the cutting tool production , quantity and Japan quite . But the value of the tool is made after only eight billion dollars, far less than the $ 2.5 billion , and Japan , which fully shows that the overall level of domestic production and foreign carbide and efficient tool is still a considerable gap.

So, in the domestic enterprises can not meet the market needs of the premise , the manufacturing sector will have to rely heavily on imports needs to be resolved.

The main foreign sales growth rate in China's high-end tool market by up to 30 % more than the average annual growth rate of domestic knives .

Service standards and international non-
Multinational companies , such as Germany Schunk , Japan Daijie , Denmark Unimerco other tools manufacturer in the long history of development has accumulated rich experience in production, which also determines the form of its services is no longer a one-shot deal , but only available to customers beyond the primary tool sales stage , according to customer tool problems encountered in the production process , in a timely manner proposed solutions , contrast, our tool industry in the service level, and international gap is relatively large, usually just have a city is priceless, low profits, the tool can not be compared with the internationally renowned company's products
