As China's market economy continues to improve, sheet metal industry has become China's equipment manufacturing industry, an important part of the development. Increase production capacity and supply requirements, so that China gradually become an international processing and manufacturing center, coupled with increasing foreign investment, metal processing capacity needs are constantly increasing, while the metal processing industry in the electrical control box, machine shell, etc. Generally said to sheet metal parts, so demand for sheet metal processing capacity is also rising.
Generally speaking, the financial crisis on the sheet metal industry does have a certain impact. But the sheet metal industry, under the tide of the financial crisis has shown a good trend. The sheet metal industry, production and sales of domestic and foreign markets in the financial crisis can be basically complement each other to achieve a balance, so the financial crisis on the sheet metal industry, the overall impact of small orders.
Of course, with the changes in international and domestic markets, sheet metal enterprises are also faced with re-shuffling process. The development of enterprises emerged polarization signs: weak enterprises in the fierce competition has been eliminated, while the quality management as the first brand enterprises have also experienced a highly confidential, but in surviving the financial crisis that they may come out of the woods, and then the creation of the peak to another.
 
Market Potential
In the "Eleventh Five-Year" period and even some time to come, China's economy will continue the rapid development of sheet metal processing industry which will give a tremendous market opportunity. In particular, the rapid growth of China's various industries and upgrading with the automated, large-scale features of the control-based components - sheet metal processing, increasing demand for its technical performance, quality, types, and so put a higher demand.
The future, sheet metal processing industry the potential for market development are mainly embodied in the following areas:
First, the total size of sheet metal processing industry for further expansion of the foundation of the growing. As for the economic development and national defense construction, the provision of technical equipment, basic, pillar and strategic industries, sheet metal processing industry has become China's one of the largest industrial categories. According to statistics, in 2007 gross output value of China's equipment manufacturing industry, the first time exceeded 7 trillion yuan, compared with 2006, an increase of nearly 32% for 5 consecutive years of more than 20% of the rate of sustained and rapid development; domestic scale equipment manufacturing enterprises realized profits of more than 388.666 billion yuan, an increase of 47.79%.
Secondly, the sheet metal processing to further increase R & D investment, innovation continues to increase. The coming period, China's independent innovation capability to enhance, revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry will continue to advance a series of major projects, for all sectors of society to guide enterprises to increase R & D investment of the equipment manufacturing industry to enhance the innovative capability of equipment manufacturing enterprises of great significance. The report predicts that the next five years, China's equipment manufacturing business R & D investment accounted for the proportion of sales revenue will be about 1.4% of the current increase to about 2%.
Third, innovation and further increase the total amount of independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness has been increasing. Nine priority areas of China's equipment manufacturing industry (power generation equipment, petrochemical equipment, metallurgical equipment, machine tools, instrumentation, coal, machinery, engineering machinery, agricultural machinery, environmental protection equipment) by units or individuals, the number of patent applications in China has shown sustained growth trend. The report predicts that the next five years, nine equipment manufacturing industry in key areas by units or individuals in China, the total invention patents, invention patent applications for utility model patents volume and growth rate of the total will reach over 30%; my equipment manufacturing industry has been awarded the number of internationally famous marks will further increase, an average annual growth rate of over 30%.
Fourth, the further implementation of major state projects, a large number of major technical equipment for realization of self-oriented. The report predicts that the next five years, relying on national key projects in energy, materials, machinery manufacturing, and other areas, to speed up research and development of large-capacity high-head hydroelectric generating set, million-kilowatt pressurized water reactor nuclear power critical equipment, large-scale oil and natural gas long-distance pipeline sets of equipment, large-scale integrated coal mining and washing was complete sets of equipment, large-scale ethylene megaton complete sets of equipment, large-scale coal chemical complete sets of equipment, large-scale broadband sheet and generous plate production of key equipment, new ships and offshore oil engineering equipment, a large number of major technologies and equipment will progressive realization of the self-oriented.
 
Integrated trading platform
To meet the sheet metal processing industry, the escalation of transformation, to seize this unprecedented business opportunities, a large-scale, brand-oriented, comprehensive and can provide comprehensive solutions to the trade arena are being incorporated into the strategic vision of major companies, "Shanghai International Machine Tool Show" "sheet metal processing expertise Hall" is in such a situation came into being.
Relying on 80,000 square meters of Asia's top professional exhibition of the advantages of machine tool, "sheet metal processing expertise Hall" planning more than 10,000 square meters, will bring more sheet metal processing enterprises in the professional industry buyers, In addition, as a professional industry exhibition organizers, Shanghai Dong Bo Exhibition Co., Ltd. will also be organized specifically for sheet metal processing related industries buyers, coverage includes: machinery manufacturing, communications, sheet metal processing, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, wind power nuclear power equipment, home appliances manufacturing , high-speed railway locomotive manufacturing, medical equipment manufacturing.
At the same time in order to allow enterprises to fully understand the international and domestic market development in sheet metal processing conditions, improve the market competitiveness of enterprises, the East his company will also sheet metal processing, R & D and market conditions at home and abroad a number of professional bodies, in the exhibition Held in conjunction with a variety of seminars and technical exchanges, covering: the sheet metal processing capacity, production, consumption, prices, import and export data analysis; sheet metal processing technology and the latest technological development direction; sheet metal processing products at home and abroad the market situation, afternoon development forecast, market competition and distribution channels for analysis. These activities will further help the sheet metal processing expertise exhibitors access to the core of the museum buyers, master encourage enterprises to upgrade their industrial upgrading and competitiveness of key information.
Special mention is that the "Shanghai International Machine Tool Exhibition" strategic partner, "state-level and modern equipment manufacturing base in Binhai New City" - Shanghai Lingang New City will be organized to settle down in their park projects to be involved in the national foster, explain the next few years, the overall project development and procurement plans. In addition, as the "Shanghai International Machine Tool Exhibition" perennial partner, China South Locomotive, North Car Group, the exhibition will also be involved throughout the process, I believe the next few years, high-speed railway and railway locomotives huge market, but also for sheet metal manufacturing industry brought thriving business opportunities.
We have reason to believe that the "Shanghai International Machine Tool Exhibition Hall sheet metal processing expertise" - the dumbo's efforts to build an integrated sheet metal processing industry will surely become a trading platform for sheet metal processing industry in China's leading trade platform for the development of the industry and make due contributions.
