In 2012, a large number of leading companies in the mold industry emerged in China

Statistics show that the annual import and export volume of China's mold industry has reached 4 billion U.S. dollars, of which the level of imports and exports are equivalent, both are about 2 billion U.S. dollars. The data shown has proven that the countries and regions with the most export destinations for molds in China are Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, Germany, and India. The export molds are mainly exported from Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, followed by Shanghai, Shandong, and Tianjin. , Fujian, Liaoning, Beijing, and Jilin; the countries with the largest import volume of mold imports are Japan, South Korea, Germany, Taiwan, and the United States, with Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Shanghai as the top import destinations, followed by Tianjin, Beijing, and Liaoning. Jilin, Fujian, Shandong, and Zhejiang.

It is worth pointing out that the structural proportion of China's mold industry is relatively reasonable: about 37% of stamping dies, about 43% of plastic dies, about 10% of casting dies (including die casting dies), forging dies, tire dies, glass dies, etc. Other types of molds account for 10%. It is consistent with the proportion of mold categories in industrial developed countries.

In recent years, a large number of leading companies in the mold industry have emerged in China. For example, the car cover mold has four people, a large plastic mold with Haier, Warwick, Qunda line, precision stamping die with Guosheng, Wah Fu, automobile tire mold with large wheel, bold, casting mold with FAW casting, Ningbo Heli, Guangzhou type Cavity, Beilun huiwang, precision plastic molds with only CD, Ningbo Yokogawa and so on. According to the Wu Bingshu introduction, 95 enterprises in the mold industry have been awarded the title of China's key backbone mold enterprises. During the current Shanghai International Mold Exhibition, the China Die and Mould Association will also award the fourth batch of more than 10 companies. By then, China will have about 110 key mold companies.

For a long time, the development of China's mold industry is uneven in its geographical distribution. The development of the southeast coastal areas is faster than that of the central and western regions. The development of the south is faster than that of the north. The areas with the most concentrated mold production are in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. The output value accounts for more than two-thirds of the national output value. According to Jin Monet CEO and International Model Association Secretary Luo Baihui, this pattern is undergoing profound changes in recent years. China's mold industry is expanding from the more developed Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta region to the inland and north, and it has appeared in the industrial layout. Some areas where new mold production is concentrated include Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Changsha, Chengdu-Chongqing, Wuhan, and Hezhong areas. Mold and agglomeration development has become a new feature, and mold-making parks (cities, agglomerations, etc.) have continued to emerge. In the eastern region, the production bases for Kunming and Wuxi precision mold industry clusters have been formed; the production bases for Botou and Wuhu automobile mold industry clusters; and the production bases for large-scale and precision mold industry clusters in Ningbo, Huangyan, Shenzhen, and Dongguan.

Luo Baihui said that the mold industry is widely viewed in China. In recent years, China's mold industry has accelerated the pace of system reform and mechanism conversion, and the industrial structure has become more and more reasonable, mainly manifested in the development speed of large-scale, sophisticated, complex, long-life mold standard parts higher than the industry. The overall development rate; the proportion of plastic molds and die-casting molds has increased; the number and capability of professional mold-makers facing the market have increased rapidly; along with the continuous deepening of the economic system reform, the development of foreign-funded and private enterprises has been rapid.

More importantly, China's mold industry is not only large-scale, but also more and more rich grades. At present, the proportion of high-level molds represented by large-scale, sophisticated, complex, and long-life molds has reached more than 35%. For example, car cover molds have been able to produce B-type vehicle molds; the accuracy of precision molds has reached 0.5 micron; precision Progressive molds can be used in high-speed punch presses of 2000-2500 times per minute or more; plastic mold accuracy reaches micron level, adapting to the needs of IT industry development; single set of tire active tools with weight up to 120T and diameter of 4 meters become the largest Type of mold and so on.

Since 1997, with the rapid growth of automobiles, equipment manufacturing and household appliances, the demand for China's domestic mold market has begun to increase significantly. By 2009, the sales volume of Chinese mold enterprises had exceeded 100 billion yuan, and domestic stamping dies and die-casting molds accounted for about 80% of the total. Many foreign companies have also entered the Chinese market to share this market, and their market is very rapid and very fast. This is also due to the rapid development of the Chinese economy, including the suffering of economic and financial crisis, although it has been affected Relatively small impact, still maintained at a rate of more than 15% growth, a small number of foreign mold companies that have entered China began to produce a variety of high-precision and multi-functional molds, but are still in short supply. Luo Baihui believes that the potential of China's mold market is very large at present. Good quality stamping dies are in short supply in the automotive industry, IT electronics, building materials, and hardware industries; demand for die-casting molds in auto parts and equipment manufacturing industries surges; injection molds are used in household appliances. The development potential of other industries is also great; in addition, special molds have great development prospects.

After experiencing the financial crisis since 2008, the current international economic development is undergoing a recovery process. The international investment and consumer markets are further heating up, and the trend towards stable economic conditions is becoming increasingly evident. This brings the mold industry a good start in the fast lane of development. Development Environment. With the recovery of the world economy, it is believed that the development of China's mold will be further accelerated. Luo Baihui pointed out that China's molds must be strengthened in their rapid growth to enhance their competitiveness in entering molds with foreign countries. Quality, technology, and equipment are all important. Talents are also the key. Grasping these skills can make them faster.
