Mold is the processing of raw materials, given the raw materials in a complete configuration and precise size of the processing tools, mainly for high-efficiency, high-volume production of industrial products related parts.With the development of modern industry, the mold is more widely used In the automotive, electronics, instrumentation, home appliances, aerospace, building materials, motors and communications equipment and other products, about 60% -80% of the parts rely on mold forming, it is called the 'mother of industry'.
Mold is an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry, and its high degree of industrial relations is an important guarantee for industrial upgrading and technological progress.It is estimated that the mold can drive the proportion of related industries is about 1: 100, that mold development 100 million yuan , Can drive 10 billion yuan related industries.
Die widely used, a wide range of classification methods are many.According to the nature of mold forming process classification, the mold can be divided into stamping die, plastic mold, casting mold and forging mold etc .. According to China Mold Industry Association statistics, China's various types of mold sales accounted for the following:

According to the Industrial Research Institute and other information finishing, experts give 2017-2018 five trends in China's die industry:
1, mechanism conversion accelerated, the structure becomes more reasonable
In order to adapt to the situation, China's mold industry in recent years to speed up the pace of institutional reform and mechanism conversion, 'three sources' and private enterprises have dominated the industry, equipment and product levels have greatly improved management has made great progress Many companies have applied many high and new technologies such as CAD / CAM / CAE integration technology, 3D design technology, ERP and IM3 information management technology, as well as high speed machining, rapid prototyping, virtual simulation and network technology, etc. Through various quality system certification Business more than a year.
2, the scale of economic benefits, the rapid development of clusters
At the same time as the specialized development of 'small and fine specialized' continues to evolve, the scale effect has been paid more attention in recent years.In addition to making enterprises bigger and bigger and producing economies of scale, the production of mold clusters has also continuously demonstrated its superiority , So the mold city, mold park, mold production base and other forms of cluster production in the rapid development of the country now with an annual output of more than 100 million yuan mold enterprises have more than 40, more than 30 million yuan Of the enterprises have more than 200, has a certain influence 'mold city (park)' has nearly 50. The mold gathering production base construction, the development of China's mold industry has played a positive role in promoting.
3, pay attention to brand patents, strengthen innovation and development
Many enterprises are beginning to realize the importance of 'brand' and 'patent', and the capital investment and capability of independent innovation continue to improve.For a long time, molds have been in the position of "backward" and "passive", so there are few "brands" And "patent." With the development of market economy, in recent years, companies pay more and more attention to 'brand' and 'patent.' Some companies have realized the importance of innovation and R & D, investment increased rapidly.According to China Mold Association To the situation, in recent years, many companies in innovation and R & D investment and sales revenue ratio of about 5%, individual companies even reached 8% to 10%.
4, popular high-tech, talent shortage mold
Die technology continues to increase, are high-tech products mold more and more.With the development of high-tech, more and more mold manufacturing enterprises at all levels of government departments identified as high-tech enterprises.According to preliminary statistics of China Mold Association At present, there are 7 state-level high-tech enterprises in the mold industry, and there are nearly 100 high-tech enterprises in provincial and municipal levels.
Talent shortage has become increasingly prominent .Although the mold industry in China in recent years, the rapid development of the workforce, it is estimated that nearly 1 million people, but still can not keep up with the development needs of the industry. First, the total lack of second is not enough quality to adapt to the development of the industry Demand.According to Luo Baihui survey, the national mold industry practitioners about gap 300000 ~ 500000, of which about 20% of engineering and technical personnel, especially the current shortage of high-quality and high level of mold enterprise managers and senior technical staff and Senior technical worker.
5, increasing trade deficit, export prospects
Although China's mold industry has entered the fast lane of development, it still can not meet the demand of the development of China's manufacturing industry because of its large gap in terms of precision, life expectancy, manufacturing cycle and capability compared with the international advanced countries and advanced countries. Especially in the precision, large, complex, long-life molds, still in short supply, so each year still need a lot of imports.
The dependence on foreign capital has been increasing year by year since the accession of WTO to our country has lasted for six years and the foreign trade has developed at a rapid pace and the degree of dependence of our economy on foreign trade has risen from 30% to 70%. In the meantime, With the continuous expansion and deepening of the policy of opening to the outside world, foreign investment in China's mold industry is also increasing, resulting in increased dependence on foreign capital also increased year by year.For example, Guangdong Province is China's largest mold province, its production capacity of about The country's about 40% of the province's mold capacity, foreign-funded enterprises account for about 60%, about 10% of joint ventures the province's mold exports account for about 50% of the country, of which exports by foreign capital, joint ventures also Accounting for the majority of its export volume. The heavy dependence on foreign investment and foreign trade will have a significant impact on the safety of the industry and even the economic security of the entire country.
