In 2010, the raw materials market is in reasonable level, which creates a good external environment for the development of machinery industry.. 2011 is expected to inflationary pressures still larger, the raw material is the focus of the machinery industry's attention.With the gradual recovery of the world economy, the demand for basic raw materials increases, the long-term trend of rising raw material prices is irreversible. But because of the machinery industry of steel, copper, aluminum, and silicon steel sheet, etc mainly raw materials demand large and larger proportion in the cost of products.
