In the first half of 2016, in view of the complex development trend of international economic operation and the weak demand for domestic host equipment development, mechanical general parts industry enterprises are facing the double pressure of insufficient orders and product export development. Both in terms of their own economic operation and in terms of import and export, they are showing a negative growth on a year-on-year basis, and the downward pressure of industry enterprises is still large.

In the first half of the year, the total output value of the industry was 162 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of - 2.4%, a decrease from the negative growth in the first quarter. The main problems faced by the industry are the weak demand market for host equipment and insufficient orders for products of enterprises. The economic operation of the enterprise shows that the product development of the enterprise serving for the main engine equipment such as automobile and rail transit is relatively stable, with a slight increase in the same proportion, and the rest are negative growth.

The import and export performance of the industry is also sluggish. Whether the overall data of the industry or the import and export data of each of the six specialties, the year-on-year growth rate is negative. The total import and export volume of the industry in the first half of the year was US $14.518 billion, an increase of - 4.8% year on year. The total import volume of the industry is US $8.396 billion, a year-on-year increase of - 3.39%; the leading import specialty of the industry: gear import is US $6.405 billion, a year-on-year increase of - 2.41%; fastener import is US $1.455 billion, a year-on-year increase of - 2.66%. The total export volume of the industry is 6.122 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of - 5.82%; the export leading specialty of the industry: gear export is 2.764 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of - 1.5%; fastener export is 2.323 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of - 8.03%; chain export is 628 million US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of - 13.9%. The comparative analysis of exports in the first half of the year shows that the export development trend of the industry in the first half of the year is improving, and the negative growth rate of its exports is weakening, for example, the export of gears is decreasing from - 3.02% year on year at the beginning of the year to - 1.5% year on year in June; the export of fasteners is decreasing from - 22% year on year in February to - 8.03% year on year at the end of June; the export of chain is decreasing from - 23.4% year on year in February to - 13.9% year on year at the end of June.

In the first half of the year, the overall economic operation of the industry was still weak and the recovery energy was insufficient. In the second half of the year, the industrial enterprises should be cautious, open up their minds, and actively respond to promote the stable development of the industrial enterprises.

On the other hand, we have seen that under the favorable environment of "made in China 2025", industrial enterprises actively explore the new path of enterprise transformation and upgrading development, pay attention to the cultivation of enterprise innovation ability, constantly implement the adjustment of product structure, improve product quality, and gradually start to practice in the aspects of intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing, traditional enterprise transformation to manufacturing service industry Digital, management information, service networking and other technology applications are beginning to appear, and are promoting the continuous upgrading and development of industry enterprises.
