Group 1 - The National Standardization Administration and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have issued a plan to establish a high-quality standard system for industrial mother machines by 2026, aiming to enhance the resilience and safety of the industrial mother machine supply chain [1][2] - The plan includes the development of at least 300 standards, with a target of leading the revision of at least 5 international standards and achieving a 90% conversion rate of international standards [1][2] - By 2030, the standard system is expected to fully adapt to the high-quality development of the industrial mother machine industry, with overall standards reaching advanced global levels [1][2] Group 2 - The high-quality standard system for industrial mother machines consists of six levels, including basic general standards, design support, manufacturing equipment, manufacturing processes, inspection and testing, and industry application, with a total of 34 categories and 17 subcategories [2] - Key tasks outlined in the plan include accelerating the development of urgently needed standards, promoting the revision of series standards, strengthening standards in cross-disciplinary fields, and enhancing the internationalization of standards [2] - The machine tool industry is currently undergoing a critical transformation and upgrade, with the industry scale ranking first globally for over a decade and entering the second tier of global technology levels [2][3] Group 3 - In the first half of 2025, China's machine tool industry achieved a revenue of 493.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.7%, with a narrowing decline compared to the first quarter [3] - The production of metal cutting machine tools increased by 13.5% year-on-year, while the production of metal forming machine tools rose by 10.4% [3] - Investment in equipment and tools increased by 17.3% year-on-year, significantly higher than the overall investment growth, indicating a recovery in market demand for machine tools [3]

Core Viewpoint - The National Standardization Administration and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China have issued a plan to establish a high-quality standard system for industrial mother machines by 2026, aiming to enhance the resilience and safety of the industrial mother machine supply chain and promote product quality improvement and equipment upgrades [1][2]. Group 1: Development Goals - By 2030, a comprehensive standard system for high-quality development of industrial mother machines is expected to be fully formed, with standards achieving advanced international levels in material reduction and additive manufacturing [2]. - The high-quality standard system will consist of six levels, 34 categories, and 17 subcategories, dynamically adjusted according to the development of the industrial mother machine industry [2]. Group 2: Key Tasks - The plan outlines four key tasks: accelerating the development of urgently needed standards, promoting the revision of series standards, strengthening the development of standards in cross-cutting fields, and enhancing the internationalization of standards [3]. - Focus areas for urgently needed standards include high-end composite CNC machine tools, integrated die-casting, precision forging, and high-performance functional components [3]. Group 3: Industry Status - The industrial mother machine sector, crucial for national security and development, has established a complete industrial system and has ranked first globally in scale for over a decade [4]. - In the first half of 2025, the machine tool industry generated revenue of 493.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.7%, with metal cutting machine tool production increasing by 13.5% [4]. - The industry is undergoing a critical transformation, with significant growth in equipment investment and demand driven by emerging markets and high-end sectors such as new energy vehicles and aerospace [4].
