SMM7 March 15: today, Zhu Haibing, Director of Dongguan NC tool Industry Association, brought a speech on the theme of "South China tool industry status and future prospects" at the "China Tungsten Industry Market and Application Summit Forum and China cemented Carbide Market Application Seminar", mainly around the development of China's tool market in 2019, the current situation of South China tool industry in 2019, South China tool market pattern, industry characteristics and so on.

The export of cutting tools in 2019 was 18.4 billion yuan, an increase of 6.92% over the same period in 2018.

The import of cutting tools in 2019 was 11.1 billion yuan, which was 4.4% lower than that in 2018.
