China's mold industry to enter period of rapid development

Mold industry since 2000 at an annual rate of 20% is growing, "Eleventh Five-Year" period, sell very well, yield, quality and level to further improve, particularly in the automotive manufacturing industry and IT manufacturing industry, boosting the die-end increase, sophisticated mold manufacturing equipment for mold technology level has provided a guarantee. Mold Network CEO, Shenzhen Institute of mold technology expert member of the China International Economic Development Research Center, industry, researchers invited 100 Luo Hui said China's mold industry is going through the "golden stage of development," the period ahead will continue to maintain sustained and rapid growth.
    It is understood, there are now three thousand mold manufacturing enterprises, employing about 100 million people in 2007 with annual sales of 87.0 billion, exports 1.4 billion, the largest export provinces and cities in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shanghai.
    In recent years, mold the industry to speed up product structure adjustment, to large, sophisticated, complex, long-life die as represented by high-tech mold growth rate higher than the overall industry growth rate, accounting for about 35% of the total die. Mold growth rate of exports in 2007 reached 35.73%, a further decline in trade deficit, import and export mold structure more reasonable, domestic alternative to imported mold mold has become a climate.
   From the industry structure, the rapid development of private enterprises, state-owned enterprises vitality, market-oriented manufacturer of professional mold number and capacity increased rapidly to adapt to the characteristics of die mold industry produced concentration of the production park have been developed, less developed central and western regions such as mold industry greater progress. Some die Enterprise multi-position progressive die precision has reached 2 microns, the life washed up to 300 million or more times, individual enterprises multi-position progressive die has been able to 2500 times / minute using high-speed punching, precision up to 1 microns. Has been able to produce 43-inch large-screen color TV, 65-inch rear projection TV Molded dies, 10 kilograms of high-capacity washing machine plastic mold, as well as a full set of bumper cars, the overall instrument panel and other large plastic mold. Is capable of producing precision plastic mold plastic mold cameras and mobile phones, multi-cavity mold, as well as small-modulus gear accuracy of 5 microns cavity plastic mold, etc. 7800. Sophisticated large-scale die-casting mold is capable of producing the escalator as a whole pedal die-casting mold, car rear axle gear boxes and automotive engine die-casting mold casting shell mold and so on. Automobile mold is capable of producing complete set of mid-range of new cars outside the coverage of mold. Rolling radial tire molds, aluminum and plastic door and window profile extrusion mold, casting or rapid prototyping resin Drawing Die, etc., have reached a very high level.
    Generally speaking, China is still only a mold-producing countries, rather than power, products, and the developed countries there are 10 -15 years, the gap between middle and low at present is still mainly in the high rate of self-made mold accounted for only about 60%, many high precision, complex molds are still dependent on imports over the past three years, more than two billion U.S. dollars annually. Mold commercial rate is only about 60%, the use of standard parts coverage, only about 50%. A serious shortage of investment research funding, research and weak, does not favor the formation of innovative public technology support system. In order to narrow gap, we must increase research and development, based on innovation and enhancing economic operation quality. LAW 100-hui,      China's mold industry in recent years will be sustained and rapid growth, showed the following characteristics: products continue toward a more large-scale, sophisticated, complex and the direction of rapid economic development, technical content will continue to increase, shortening manufacturing cycle, mold production will continue to toward information technology, digital, fine, high-speed and automation direction, companies will further enhance all aspects of comprehensive strength and core competitiveness.
    At present, China's mold industry is entering an important period of development. Manufacturing industries, especially the development of automobile manufacturing industry to promote the domestic market, growing mold, and foreign users to purchase the mold of China's growing number of international mold manufacturing trend of a gradual shift to China is very obvious. LAW 100-hui said the market continued to die at home and abroad in 2010 to improve, annual growth rate of China's mold industry will continue to maintain about 20%.
