The domestic CNC precision machining industry shows obvious polarization in 2026. The low-end ordinary machining market faces severe price involution and shrinking profits, while high-value-added fields including new energy equipment, medical devices and aerospace precision parts maintain steady order growth.

A large number of processing factories in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta have completed intelligent transformation, adopting five-axis machine tools and automatic loading and unloading equipment to build 24-hour unattended “lights-out production lines". Meanwhile, AI-based CAM programming software has been widely applied, which can automatically identify part features and generate tool paths, greatly shortening the debugging cycle of new products and improving production efficiency.

Overseas customer standards have been further upgraded. In addition to conventional drawings and material certification, European and American clients now require complete equipment networking data and process traceability records. Industry insiders pointed out that small workshops relying on low-price competition are facing survival pressure, while factories with multi-axis machining capabilities, standardized process management and complete data delivery capabilities will occupy the mainstream of the high-end overseas order market.
