After more than half a century of development, the Chinese woodworking machinery industry has formed a relatively complete development system with Chinese characteristics in product design, manufacturing, sales, and technical services.

After the financial crisis in 2009, China's woodworking machinery industry showed a strong recovery capacity. According to data from the Prospective Industry Research Institute, there were 209 woodworking machinery manufacturing enterprises above designated size in 2010, with total assets of 9.092 billion yuan; sales revenue of 12.076 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.74%; and a total profit of 626 million yuan, an increase of 84.40%. In 2011, China's woodworking machinery industry achieved sales revenue of 10.09 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.68%.

In recent years, the rapid development of China's economy, the continuous improvement of people's material living standards, and the increasing demand for wood products have provided huge market space for woodworking machinery. A series of major strategic measures such as the western development of the country, the revitalization of the old industrial base in the northeast, the promotion of urbanization, the construction of a new socialist countryside, and the construction of affordable housing have also brought rare development opportunities for the development of the woodworking machinery manufacturing industry.

In the international market, the mid-range products of China's woodworking machinery industry are very competitive. China's mid-range products are not far from international woodworking machinery in terms of geometric accuracy, product appearance, product structure performance, noise index, etc., but the price is only a fraction of them. The mid-range products of Chinese woodworking machinery are of high quality and the market competitiveness is very good. However, from the perspective of the technological development of the entire industry, the technological innovation capabilities of domestic woodworking machinery manufacturing companies are still somewhat different in terms of popularity and recognition compared with foreign advanced companies in the same industry. With the rapid development of the global furniture industry and wood products industry, simultaneous research and development and the introduction of new products will be an inevitable development trend. The lack of independent innovation capabilities and simultaneous research and development capabilities will affect the survival and development of woodworking machinery enterprises.

Foresight Industry Research Institute woodworking machinery industry research group analysis pointed out that if China woodworking machinery to truly go out, it must absorb advanced foreign technology, combined with China's specific situation, based on China, take the path of self-development, development has an independent New products with intellectual property rights. In the next few years, domestic woodworking machinery enterprises should further strengthen R & D efforts, move towards high-end wood machinery products, and enhance international competitiveness.
