III. Market Situation
Germany is an important economic and trade partner of my country. In 2022, the bilateral trade volume between Germany and China reached 297.9 billion euros. China has been Germany’s most important trading partner for the seventh consecutive year. Precision machinery and equipment are important commodities in the trade between the two countries. Grinding is one of the four major manufacturing processes in the German machine tool industry. In 2021, the equipment produced by the grinding industry was worth 820 million euros, of which 85% was exported, and the largest sales markets were China, the United States and Italy.
In order to further develop and consolidate the European market, expand the export of grinding tools and abrasive products, and promote economic and trade cooperation between my country and Europe in the field of grinding, as the exhibition organizer, the Abrasives and Grinding Tools Branch of the China Machine Tool Industry Association will also connect with relevant companies in the upstream and downstream industries of grinding in Germany to increase the international market interaction of exhibitors.
Stuttgart, where the exhibition is held, is the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The region’s automobile manufacturing and parts, electricity, electronics, medical equipment, measurement, optics, IT software, technology research and development, aerospace, medicine and bioengineering are all in a leading position in Europe. Since Baden-Württemberg and the surrounding area are home to a large number of potential customers in the automotive, machine tools, precision tools and services sectors, the regional advantages are very obvious. The GrindingHub in Stuttgart, Germany will benefit exhibitors and visitors from home and abroad in many ways.
