In 2007, China's woodworking machinery trade import and export reached an all-time high. Before 2008, China's woodworking trade showed a deficit, but after 2008, there was a surplus. With the recovery of the industry, trade again experienced a deficit in 2011.

With the strong recovery of China's woodworking machinery trade, Chinese companies are actively exploring the European market. Hannover International Forestry and Woodworking Exhibition, one of the international professional trade fairs, will be held at the Hanover Exhibition Center from May 6th to 10th, and China has become one of the top 10 participating countries in the International Forestry Woodworking Exhibition.

According to industry insiders, there is still a gap between China's woodworking machinery level and the world's advanced level. To promote the healthy development of the industry, enterprises must be honest and self-disciplined and strengthen brand building.

In the international market, China's woodworking machinery industry mid-range products are extremely competitive. China's mid-range products are not much different 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, judging from the technological development of the entire industry, the technological innovation capability of domestic woodworking machinery manufacturing enterprises is still far from the level of visibility and recognition compared with foreign advanced enterprises in the same industry. With the rapid development of the global furniture industry and wood products industry, the simultaneous development of R&D and new products will be an inevitable development trend. The lack of independent innovation capability and simultaneous R&D capabilities will have an impact on the survival and development of woodworking machinery enterprises.

According to the general manager of the German Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing Federation, China ranks first among the major importers of woodworking machinery in China in 2012. At present, the Chinese woodworking machinery industry is developing strongly and the market is full of vitality. Will it continue to maintain this trend in the next few years? Also need to observe. He stressed that "woodworking machinery is a mature industry, industry development is based on innovation, and rising production costs force manufacturers to increase investment in machining, so successful woodworking machinery manufacturers must value sustainable development."
