Analysis of trends in the development of the mold industry

In recent years, the pace of adjustment of the die industry structure has accelerated. The main development indicators of large, complex, and durable dies and standard die parts are higher than the overall development speed of the industry; the proportion of plastic dies and dies for injection molding is large; the number and capabilities of market-oriented professional die manufacturers are growing faster. The future development direction of Chinese automotive dies should focus on adjusting the product structure and positioning, further improving the level of die production technology, occupying the complex structure, and high technology content in the die market.

Although the total output of dies in China, while ranking third in the world, there is no shortage of some of the overall industry level is relatively good corporate manufacturers, but at present, the domestic die industry is characterized by uneven process conditions of manufacturers, the gap is very large. A significant portion of the private sector or individual households, subject to capital, space, technology, information exchange and many other factors, some manufacturers rely on traditional equipment and manual work, can only produce some medium and low-grade molds, it is difficult to introduce advanced molding technology and modern mold manufacturing equipment. This has led to intensified competition in the low-grade die market. Some die manufacturing enterprises, in order to get the job, at each other's expense reduce prices, and low prices inevitably affect product quality, resulting in the user falling into a pit, making mistakes in choosing analogs, but also harming themselves.

From the analysis of the prospects of the Chinese mold industry and the investment development planning research report, to understand the future development of the mold industry is able to meet a large number of needs, but also has a high technological content, especially at present the country can not be self-sufficient, the need for a large number of imports of molds and dies and can represent the development direction of large-scale, complex, durable molds, and in addition to China mold products in the international market to occupy a greater price advantage, the prospects of exporting good mold products will also become a point of development.

If you recall that 10 years ago the accuracy of the mold was usually 5 microns, then over time the accuracy of the mold has become higher and higher. Now it has reached 2~3 microns, and soon molds with an accuracy of 1 micron will be listed. This requires ultra-fine processing. The die industry will become increasingly large-scale. This is because the molded parts are becoming larger and require high productivity, and the development of the die is due to the presence of multiple cavities. Multifunctional composite molds will be further developed. New multifunctional composite molds in addition to stamping molded parts, but also carry stacking, cutting, riveting and locking and other assembly tasks, productivity has become increasingly demanding.

In particular, the home furnishing industry should continue to develop and innovate, the demand for home furnishing is growing, the home furnishing industry presents various changes. Many furniture hardware manufacturers invariably divide these two directions, decorative hardware does not focus on functional development, functional hardware on its decorative development is not sufficiently studied, there is a gap between the two directions.

Die manufacturing is an important part of China's hardware industry. The 12th Five-Year Plan period is China's proper response to major changes in the development environment at home and abroad, to accelerate the realization of the goal of building a moderately prosperous society, but also the healthy development of China's die manufacturing industry is a critical period of time. The domestic and international environment, although there are many uncertainties, but China's economic development is still in a period of high-speed growth, Chinese dies in the international die market comparative advantages still exist, the domestic die market is expected to continue to look good, the development of the die industry represents the main trend.
