CNC technology and numerical control equipment are important foundations for the modernization of the manufacturing industry. Whether this foundation is solid has a direct impact on the economic development and overall national strength of a country, and it is related to the strategic status of a country. According to Luo Baihui, a member of the association, although the profitability of the machine tool industry is not high, it plays a role of a magnifying glass in the entire industrial system. Every dollar invested in the machine tool industry will drive related industries to earn a profit of 10 yuan. Nowadays, many changes have taken place in the CNC machine tool industry in China, which has formed certain characteristics in the region and has been continuously extended. The CNC machine tool industry in China is striding forward, and is developing distinctive regional features.

The NC machine tool industry in Northeast China plays a decisive role in the country and it has always been a nationally supported project.

Shenyang and Dalian have become the most important development and production bases for CNC lathes and machining centers nationwide. According to statistics, the output value of the two machine tools of Shenyang Machine Tool (Group) Co., Ltd. and Dalian Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. accounted for 26% of the national machine tool output value, and the output of CNC gold-cutting machine tools accounted for 25.4% of the country's CNC numerical control machine tool output. Among them, the output of CNC lathes accounted for about 35% of the total output of CNC lathes in China, and the output of machining centers accounted for about 21% of the total output of CNC machining centers in China.

The large and heavy-duty CNC lathes produced by Qizhong CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. account for approximately 48% of the country's large and heavy-duty CNC lathes, and the output value accounts for approximately 50% of the country's large and heavy CNC lathes. The large and heavy-duty CNC boring mills produced by Qiqihar No.2 Machine Tool (Group) Co., Ltd. account for about 35% of the country's CNC boring machine production, and the production value accounts for approximately 30% of the national CNC boring machine output value.

Taking Harbin as the mainstay, it has formed a national production base for tools and special complex tools. Its representative companies are Harbin Measuring & Cutting Tools Group Co., Ltd. and Harbin No. 1 Tool Co., Ltd.

In the Yangtze River Delta region, it has become a major production base for grinding machines (grinding machines), electric machine tools, sheet metal processing equipment, tools and machine tool components (ball screws and linear guides).

The three cities of Shanghai, Wuxi and Hangzhou are the mainstays and form the production and development base of China's grinding machines. The output value of the grinders of the three enterprises of Shanghai Machine Tool Works Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Machine Tool Group, and Wuxi Kaiyuan Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. accounted for 65% of the country's grinding machines. The grinding machine output accounted for approximately 42% of the country's grinding machine production, of which the CNC grinding machine production accounted for 74% of the country's CNC grinding machine production. .
