Data and Satistics
CECIMO Economic Department provides up to date information to the member associations regarding the evolution of the global market of machine tools, and aggregates the national data in order to make European compilations and assess the weight of CECIMO in the global market, whether in terms of production, exports, imports or consumption. European figures are available on CECIMO website for all EU Stakeholders wishing to assess the position of Europe in the manufacturing and trade of machine tools.
CECIMO also monitors orders and shipments (domestic and foreign) at global level on a quarterly basis, as a way to monitor the commercial dynamism of our sector. This global statistical follow-up has been made possible by a long-standing and efficient collaboration with the associations of machine tools builders in other major countries outside Europe (Japan, USA, South Korea, Taiwan, and more recently Brazil).
A CECIMO statistical project team, composed of representatives of the national associations, meets twice a year to discuss the latest trends in the market, agree on the communication of figures, prepares the presentation of the Economic Committee at the General Assemblies, and define new methodologies and tools to constantly improve the quality of the process when gathering the statistical information.
CECIMO works with some economic experts that have a particular knowledge of the machine tools industry to help develop forecast of orders and of consumption of machine tools at global level, and analyse the impact of the macro-economic indicators on the machine tool industry.
