According to the latest statistics released by the Japan Machine Tool Industry Association, from January to September, the order value of Japanese machine tools was 997.1 billion yen, a year-on-year increase of 41.9%. Although it was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake at the beginning of the year, the increasing overseas demand was the main reason for the increase in orders. It is estimated that the machine tool order for 2011 will reach 1.3 trillion yen. Japan’s Machine Tool Industry Association President Yokoyama Yokohiko said that although orders from China have decreased, orders in Europe and the United States have grown for 21 consecutive months, and equipment investment plans for auto and machinery companies in Europe and the United States have maintained a slow growth trend. At the same time, due to the floods in Thailand, some of the machine tools in Thai companies need to be replaced or repaired. After the situation is stable, the demand for machine tools and accessories will soar. President Yokoyama Yohiko also said that due to the continued appreciation of the yen, some machine tool equipment manufacturers plan to reduce their production scale in Japan and transfer to overseas production. The future of the Japanese machine tool industry is still unclear.
