After years of development, China's equipment manufacturing industry has formed a complete, with large scale and considerable strength, technical level and constantly improve the level of complete industrial system, has become an important pillar industry of the national economy. Especially the "opinions" of the State Council on accelerating the development of the equipment manufacturing industry since the implementation, significantly speeding up the development of equipment manufacturing industry.

Under the background of globalization, the manufacturing industry to achieve a breakthrough, we must break the four major bottlenecks: a global high unemployment rate is two; two level differentiation; three is to consume a lot of resources; four is the destruction of the natural environment. In the Chinese Engineering Science and Technology Forum held recently -- "manufacturing high-end equipment", the participants expressed the common view of scholars. This forum is organized by Chinese Academy of engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China Institute of mechanical engineering, Xi'an Jiao Tong University contractors.

The conference held in Beijing, from domestic and foreign machinery manufacturing field of more than 700 leading experts and academicians are manufacturing industry to the global trend of development as the background, analysis of China's high-end equipment manufacturing opportunities and challenges. Experts believe that, from the international perspective, the global economic crisis, since the beginning of 2010, Century Economic Forum -- the Davos forum set up advanced manufacturing Global Agenda Council, began to focus on the manufacturing industry. The forum launched "the future of manufacturing plan" and "manufacturing" oriented economic growth plan. The change in USA manufacturing industry as an example, in 2009 2008, after the economic crisis, America society and the government to realize the importance of the manufacturing industry based on the real economy on employment and economic development. The government will put American advanced manufacturing to the first priority development strategy, actively support the automobile industry and encourage the return of manufacturing American local, and will invest billions of dollars to build ten manufacturing innovation base in the next few years. Change America understanding of the full description of the manufacturing industry, the development of manufacturing industry is an important support for a country's economic and social development.

The development of the manufacturing industry cannot do without scientific design. Many scholars said, the country's economic growth pattern cannot do without innovation, innovation cannot do without the design, the design cannot do without knowledge. They put forward the concept of knowledge assets, that the current lack of knowledge of how the assets through national research service direct benefits, and advocated to vigorously develop the knowledge service industry, to promote the development of high-end manufacturing equipment technology. The forum, experts summed up the key factors affecting the future development of the manufacturing industry, including government policies, trade agreements increase, currency exchange rate fluctuations, the impact of energy price, environmental cost, labor and talent shortage, labor cost growth, reliable supply of raw materials etc.. The expert points out, the ideal future of advanced manufacturing industry, should focus on the effective use of narrow gap and innovation ability, improve the skills and resources.
