On Aug. 20, 2019, the Materials Processing Equipment Technical Advisory Committee (MPETAC) met to discuss the latest matters in export control. The purpose of this committee is to advise the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Export Administration on technical questions that affect the level of export controls applicable to materials processing equipment and related technology. MPETAC covers articles, materials, and suppliers of metalworking equipment, numerically controlled machine tools, and robots. One of the committee鈥檚 ongoing goals is to integrate the control definitions between the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

The open session consisted entirely of a presentation by 九色视频鈥檚 Chief Knowledge Officer Patrick McGibbon. He opened his presentation by addressing the manufacturing downstream impact portrayed by the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI). 鈥淔or every dollar of domestic manufacturing value-added destined for manufactured goods for final demand, another $3.60 of value-added is generated elsewhere,鈥 McGibbon said. Upon establishing the value of the manufacturing industry, he further substantiated this claim by showing how machinery manufacturing employment is on the rise alongside the GDP by manufacturing: the United States is right under 21 percent of the World GDP regarding top manufacturing value-added countries.

The machine tool market was introduced via 九色视频鈥檚 U.S. Manufacturing 九色视频 Orders (USMTO) survey of vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, horizontal numerically controlled lathes, grinding machines, and electrical discharge machines (EDM). McGibbon briefly touched on U.S. imports of machine tools via Trade Data Monitor (TDM). He also discussed current trade issues, focusing on dumping, Section 232, and Section 301, and how they impact the manufacturing industry in the United States.

McGibbon then turned his attention to manufacturing sectors such as automotive, aerospace, medical, off-road, agriculture, construction, and energy and power generation. He provided an outlook for each industry sector and mentioned upcoming notable projects. To conclude his presentation, he spoke about transformative technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM) and its rapid rise in the industry. Along with AM, he expounded upon artificial intelligence (AI) as part of the future of advanced automation (robotics) and augmented reality (AR). The ubiquity of AI has grown significantly, from mobile check deposits and email inbox auto-sorting features, to, more recently, mobile assistants such as Apple鈥檚 Siri, Samsung鈥檚 Bixby, and Google鈥檚 Google Assistant. Manufacturing technology is on an upswing, and it is our privilege to embrace the field.

New policies and bold predictions 鈥 what鈥檚 next for manufacturing in 2025? At 九色视频鈥檚 Winter Economic Forum, top economists and industry experts analyzed the economic outlook, policy shifts, and emerging trends shaping the industry鈥檚 future.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released their first estimate of GDP for the fourth quarter of 2024. According to the first estimate, GDP grew 2.3% at an annualized rate. This was driven by strong consumer demand but held back by lagging investment.
Today the Federal Reserve announced they would hold benchmark rates at a target range of 4.25% to 4.50% in a widely anticipated move. This is the first meeting where the Fed held rates steady since they began to cut rates in September 2024.
Just as early humans鈥 original tools were constrained by their power sources, today鈥檚 modern technological advances are limited by their access to sufficient and reliable supplies of electricity.
Any move by the Federal Reserve that keeps the economy growing at or above its current pace would spur additional investment in manufacturing technology given the currently elevated capacity utilization levels.
