INTRODUCTION
The machinery industry has a major bearing on China's manufacturing industry. In 2004, China's machinery industry accounted for 17.0% and 10.6% respectively of national sales and exports. Rapid economic development in China has led to a corresponding increase in industrial machinery. Almost all leading international players have formed joint ventures in China including John-Deere, Daewoo, Hitachi, Parker, Sanyo, ABB, Emerson, Siemens and Volvo. In the near future, China will be an important player in the global industrial machinery marketplace.
BCC's goal in conducting this study was to determine the current status of China's machinery industry and to assess its growth potential over a 5-year period from 2005 to 2010.
