As my country continues to ramp up policy support for the intelligent equipment manufacturing industry, the market for CNC hydraulic pipe-bending machines has the potential to reach a scale of one trillion yuan. The industry is expected to grow at an average annual rate of over 20% in the coming years; we project that the sector's scale will hit one trillion yuan by 2015 and exceed three trillion yuan by 2020, with domestically produced equipment capturing more than 60% of the market.
The pipe processing industry and the automation sector are becoming increasingly intertwined. In today's era of automation and numerical control, failing to keep pace means facing elimination; consequently, as CNC hydraulic pipe bending machines reach a stage of maturity and peak development, we are setting our sights on the future market for automated pipe processing. The future of these machines lies in CNC technology, and we will gradually phase out NC-based control systems as technological advancements progress.
Naturally, the NC-type microcomputer control panel has become a staple on CNC hydraulic pipe benders, offering reliable performance. Consequently, we have also upgraded the control systems for our other tube processing equipment, such as pipe cutting machines, circular metal saws, and tube reducing machines. While this update does not mark a revolutionary shift to full CNC technology, the improvements made to the button-based interface—moving away from the previous screenless design—represent a step forward.
The intelligent manufacturing equipment industry primarily encompasses intelligent measurement and control instruments, CNC machine tools, industrial robots, advanced sensors, 3D printing technology, and automated production lines. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has prioritized the advancement of four major categories of products, including intelligent instrumentation and intelligent equipment. Specifically, intelligent specialized equipment covers a wide range of machinery—such as large-scale intelligent construction machinery, high-efficiency agricultural machinery, intelligent printing machinery, automated textile machinery, and equipment for environmental protection, coal mining, and metallurgy—aimed at achieving automation and intelligence across various manufacturing processes.
With the rapid development of information technology and advanced manufacturing technology, the advancement of automated and intelligent manufacturing equipment is proceeding steadily. In 2010, sales revenue in sectors such as industrial automation control systems and instrumentation, CNC hydraulic pipe benders, metal circular saws, tube-reducing machines, and CNC machine tool systems exceeded 300 billion RMB. However, my country's intelligent manufacturing equipment industry still faces challenges: technological innovation capabilities remain weak, and core technologies—such as novel sensing and advanced control—have yet to be fully mastered; the automation industry is small in scale and lacks a solid foundation, with market shares for high-end and specialized sensors, intelligent instruments, automatic control systems, high-end CNC systems, and robots all falling below 5%.
