aerospace aerospace electrical engineering etc In 2018 aerospace aerospace developed developed relatively sluggish across the developed developed world due to geopolitical tensions and productionprospectsarerather negative Electrical engineering sector (electrical motors wiring and fixtures as as well as as electronic components telecommunications equipment)
is expected to decelerate sharply
after a a a a a a a a two-digit growth last year General purpose machinery sector will continue to to decelerate for the second year in in in a a a a a a a a row especially in in in Europe as many capex projects are postponed due to to to Brexit uncertainties Motor Vehicles sector is is at at at a a a a a a point of cycle maturation and is is expected to to to slow down as well due to to the expiration of car-buying tax incentives problems with pollution and traffic congestion in in in large urban areas Although macro-economic outlook
is is clouded sentiment indicators
in in in Europe are positive by historical standards Retail services continue to show dynamic growth that should last in in the next few months High levels of capacity utilisation in in in manufacturing plants should support further investments in in in in in machinery and equipment We expect industrial activity to pick up in in in the second half of 2019 Domestic demand in in in Europe rising wages and and consumer sentiment should support growth growth Perhaps the the growth growth of the the machine tool market will slow more abruptly in in 2019 but should pick up up next year Based on our forecast world machine tool consumption will increase by 2 2 2 2 3% in in in in 2019 and accelerate to 3 3 5% in in in 2020 European machine tool builders contributing to to sustainability and the circular economy through new advanced manufacturing technologies Sustainability concerns are increasingly being incorporated both into the agendas of policymakers
and the strategies of companies This evolution is is by no means alien
to to the machine tool and related manufacturing technologies sector sector Themachinetoolindustry
is a a a a a a key enabling sector sector having a a a a a a direct impact on the productivity
and and competitiveness of European manufacturing and and in in the transition to to a a a a a a a a a a more circular economy The sector provides advanced manufacturing technologies allowing for better control of the manufacturing process and and traceability which results in in less waste more efficiency and and better management of resources The European machine tool and related manufacturing technologies sector contributes to to the circular economy through different actions aiming at improving the performance of its products developing and implementing new advanced manufacturing technologies technologies (i e e e e e e e e e e digital technologies technologies Additive Manufacturing) and imbedding sustainability principles in in in in in its everyday operations Machine tools already embrace some key principles of the circular economy Machines are designed with ease of of maintenance in in in in mind and much of of of the the materials are recycled at at the the end of of life Machine tools are designed to to last and and retrofitting and and remanufacturing are are common practices in in in the sector Improvements are are always possible and machine tool manufacturers are constantly looking to to improve the the performance of their products including from an an environmental point of view Energy consumption in in the the use phase is the the the key aspect in in in improving the the the environmental performance of of machine tools and much of of the the the work in in in in the the sector is is focusing on this aspect while not neglecting customer demands for productivity
precision and and reliability About CECIMO CECIMO CECIMO CECIMO is the the European Association of the the Machine Tool Industries and related Manufacturing Technologies
We bring together 15 national asso- ciations of machine tool builders which represent approximately 1500 industrial enterprises in in Europe (EU + + EFTA + + Turkey) over over 80% of of which are SMEs CECIMO covers 98% of of the total machine tool production in in Europe and about 33% worldwide It accounts for more than 150 000 employees and a a a a a a turnover of of nearly €26 billion in 2017 More than three quarters of of CECIMO production is is shipped abroad whereas half of it is is exported outside Europe 51
