On April 17, as mechanical equipment upgrades progressed, the industrial machine ETF Cathay Pacific (159667) surged by more than 2.1%.
Behind this increase is the wave of equipment updates in the industrial field.
Since 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have jointly promoted the updating of equipment in the industrial field, and guided enterprises to eliminate outdated equipment and upgrade production equipment through financial subsidies and tax incentives.
Guoxin Securities analysis pointed out that the scale of equipment renewal in the industrial field is expected to exceed 5 trillion yuan in the next three years, and the policy covers multiple fields such as industrial machinery, new energy equipment, and intelligent robots.
This series of policy initiatives provides a strong impetus for the upgrading of industrial equipment.
Although China’s machine tool numerical control rate has increased from 30% in 2018 to 40% in 2023, there is still much room for improvement compared with the 70% level in Japan, the United States, and Germany.
This means that under the background of policy traction and domestic substitution, the demand for high-end machine tools is expected to continue to be released.
As domestic enterprises’ demand for high-end machine tools continues to increase, related industries will also usher in new development opportunities.
