The 16th China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT2019), organized by China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’ Association and co-organized by China International Exhibition Center Group, will be held in Beijing China International Exhibition Center (New Venue) from April 15 to 20. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere invitation to colleagues in and out of the industry, businessmen at home and abroad, and new and old friends. Welcome to visit, exchange ideas, discuss cooperation and make friendship.

At present, China's development is facing a complex and severe situation at home and abroad, which is rare for many years. New downward pressure has arisen in the economy. The CPC Central Committee judges that China's development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities. It has sufficient resilience, huge potential and constant innovative vitality, and the long-term trend of economic improvement has not changed or will not change. In 2019, the government would realize the stable growth and investment via those measures of deepening market-oriented reform, expanding high-level openness & innovation, perfecting macro adjustment & control, vigorously reducing taxes & burdens, and adhering to innovation to lead development. These changes have brought new challenges and opportunities to the machine tool & tool industry.

Since its birth 30 years ago, CIMT has been adhering to the road of internationalization and specialization, focusing on displaying the world's most advanced manufacturing technology and equipment, and has been strongly supported by national and regional machine tool associations, trade promotion agencies, domestic and foreign machine tool enterprises and user enterprises. So far, CIMT has had 15 successful sessions, making great contributions to China's reform and opening up, innovation and upgrading of equipment manufacturing industry. CIMT 2019 will focus on intelligent manufacturing and attracts more than 1700 manufacturers from 28 countries and regions, including 874 overseas exhibitors and 838 domestic exhibitors, both accounting for about 50% of the exhibition area. All the world-renowned machine tool manufacturers present; 13 national and regional machine tool associations and trade promotion organizations from the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries and regions participated in the exhibition; the total exhibition area reaches 142,000 square meters.

In 2018, China's machine tool and tool consumption market showed a trend of high at the beginning followed by low and teady at the end of the year. The total yearly consumption of metalworking machine tool was 29.13 billion US dollars, down 2.8% year-on-year. The total production amount was 23.46 billion US dollars, down 4.3% year-on-year. The total export amount was 4.0 billion US dollars, up 21.6% year-on-year. The total import amount was 9.67 billion US dollars, up 10.6% year-on-year. Comprehensive analysis of the above data on consumption, production and import and export shows that although there are fluctuating pressures in market demand at present, the consumption market potential of China metalworking machine tool will remain in the future, and the overall demand structure will keep continuing to upgrade.

2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China and the key year to win the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way for the first century. The steady growth of demand side will continue to exert its strength, and the reform of supply side will continue to deepen. At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and upgrading are forming a historic convergence. New technologies, such as new generation of information technology, robots, internet of things, industrial internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, are bringing new industries, new formats and new modes, and will also bring new opportunities and challenges to China's machine tool & tool industry. The theme of this exhibition is "Win the Smart Future together", which is in response to the development trend of China machine tool & tool consumption market. We believe that under the background of deepening market-oriented reform, expanding high-level openness, promoting high-quality development of manufacturing industry and accelerating the construction of a powerful manufacturing country, China International Machine Tool Show has been and will be the best window and platform for observing, researching and docking China machine tool & tool consumption market.

On the occasion of the opening of CIMT 2019, on behalf of the organizer, China Machine Tool & Tool Builders’ Association, I extend a warm welcome to new and old friends from the global peer industry. I wish the exhibition a complete success.
