China International Machine Tool Exhibition（Since its establishment in 1989, CIMT has been carefully nurtured by the China Machine Tool and Tool Industry Association, and with the joint efforts of relevant partners and industry colleagues, its scale has continued to expand, its brand status and industry influence have been continuously enhanced, and it has now become one of the four most influential exhibitions in the world's machine tool and tool industry. This exhibition is not only a grand event showcasing advanced manufacturing technology and machine tool products from around the world, but also an important platform for promoting technical exchanges between China and foreign countries and advancing the technology of China's machine tool industry. It is also the best window to observe changes in demand in China, the world's largest machine tool market.

The theme of this exhibition has been determined asThe theme of "new demand, new supply, and new driving force" is in line with the development mainline of China's "supply side structural reform" during the 13th Five Year Plan period. The Chinese machine tool market is undergoing comprehensive and profound changes, characterized by a rapid upgrading of demand structure. Automated complete sets, customized customization, and universal gear shifting upgrades have become the main directions for upgrading the market demand structure. To adapt to the new changes in market demand, the machine tool manufacturing industry must start from the supply side, provide product technology and service models that meet customers' new requirements, and obtain new impetus for its own development through transformation and adjustment.

The total exhibition area of CIMT2017 is 131000 square meters, which is the same as the previous edition. Domestic and overseas exhibitors each occupy about 50% of the total exhibition area.
