2011 World Machine Tool Output & Consumption Survey  
Over the course of 2010, machine tool manufacturers in countries across the globe increased their output, in aggregate by 21% over 2009, and early indications are that growth will continue. And while some national industries emerged from recession sooner than others, China firmly established itself as both the world’s largest consumer and its biggest producer.
Chinese consumption of new manufacturing equipment continues to amaze: In 2004 she purchased and installed $9.3-billion in machine tools. That grew to $10.8-billion in 2005 consumption, and in 2006 gained another 20% to $13-billion. During 2007 consumption grew to $15.4-billion.
Chinese consumption, as a percentage of total estimated world production of $71-billion, amounts to 23%. So, again, more than one out of every five machines produced in the world ends up in China.
In terms of domestic production, China, which reports its production for this survey in U.S. dollars rather than yuan, increased 43%, solidifying its spot as third place in the world, ahead of the Italy and behind only Japan and Germany.
