according toAMT(American Machinery Manufacturing Technology Association) released the relevant data of the US manufacturing technology order report,2025year6The total amount of new orders for metal processing machinery in the United States in May is4.292billion, comparison2025year5Monthly growth9.1%compare2024year6Monthly growth7.7%。2025year1-6month, the total number of U.S. machinery orders was25.2billion, comparison2024Growth in the first half of the year13.7%。

2025In the first half of the year, American machinery productsThe order amount increased compared with previous years21.2%, while the order volume fell during the same period17.2%, showing that in recent months, automated machinery products have played an increasingly important role in the field of manufacturing technology with their increased options and improved performance, thereby increasing the value of orders. Relevant automation solutions enable user businesses to gain additional productivity at current workforce levels to bridge the gap caused by a weak increase in industrial output and a sustained decline in employment. The following areas supported the growth of orders.

Contract Machinery WorkshopThey are the biggest consumers of manufacturing technology, and they have changed2024The situation of lagging behind the overall market for a long time has shown signs of recovery. and2024Compared with the first half of the year, the value of new orders and the number of units increased12%。 However, orders from this market are likely to weaken in the second half of this year, with more units indicating that they will not invest in additional machines in the coming year.

Although the news of a strike by some defense workers at Boeing may be interpreted as a negative signal, but2024The last strike at the end of the year drove significant investment in manufacturing technology.

For several months, rightElectricity and the equipment required for power generation and distributionThe demand has been increasing. and2024Compared with the first half of the year, the demand for mechanical equipment from electrical equipment manufacturers has declined19%, but the order value is still higher than average24%。 In contrast, orders from manufacturers of engines, turbines, and other power transmission equipment are associated with2024Compared with the first half of the year, it has increased19%, as many data centers complement the services provided by municipal grids with on-site generators.

North America has increased crude steel production, and a few other regions have made such investments, with executives reporting increased quoting activity and a rising backlog.

Uncertainty has always been2025The main economic driver in the first half of the year, the first few weeks of the second half showed little sign of this instability easing. at8month7DailyAMTAt the Economic Update webinar, Oxford Economics raised its forecast, showing2025Annual machinery orders will grow moderately in single digits. While this is an improvement from their previous estimates, it also means that activity will drop significantly, which will erode2025The first half of the year13.7%growth. meanwhileITR Economicsforecast2025Cutting tool consumption will be strong in the second half of the year, boosting this year's orders. While these forecasts may seem inconsistent at a rough view, cutting tool consumption tends to peak about two quarters after machinery orders peak. With2025Moving forward for the rest of the year, trends in healthy operations for U.S. consumers and businesses will reveal whether the current momentum is sustainable or whether a cyclical peak is imminent.
