China’s mold industry and modern manufacturing co-exist and develop together

In 2017, China’s mold sales exceeded 200 billion yuan, and China’s mold consumption value of 243.3 billion supported 27 trillion yuan in product manufacturing.

Thirty years of development has made China a major country in mold manufacturing and consumption in the world, and has established a mold industry system. China’s mold sales in 2017 exceeded 200 billion yuan, and China’s mold consumption value of 243.3 billion supported 27 trillion yuan in product manufacturing. China’s mold companies are well-equipped and the mold manufacturing ecosystem is healthy, which plays a significant role in the benefit amplifier of the downstream product manufacturing industry. Boosting the development of China’s equipment manufacturing industry, market-led capacity enhancement is reflected in the core parts manufacturing enterprises in the integrated industrial chain, and the mold industry that provides support and support services for consumption such as automobiles and consumer electronics is an indispensable important for these manufacturing industries. component.

At present, the innovation of China’s mold industry has entered a new stage of shifting from tracking to tracking and parallel running, and a group of companies have entered the first phalanx of international manufacturing. In the future, mold products will continue to develop in the direction of large-scale (multi-process, multi-component, multi-cavity) precision, high performance, and integration. Mold companies have long changed from processing according to drawings to integrating the downstream users of molds into product design and forming research. While providing molds and mold forming processes, they also provide peripheral equipment for mold forming, that is, mold manufacturers are still working with downstream customers of molds. The partner integrator who provides the product. Reconstructing the relationship between molds and users, and providing differentiated, customized, personalized and accurate services for zero (parts) forming a new model of overall solutions, making mold companies an important part of the inseparable molding equipment support for downstream customers in the future.

In addition, from the perspective of market segments, the demand for molds in the automotive manufacturing sector continues to rise. In 2017, China’s automobile production and sales completed 2,902 and 28.88 million vehicles, ranking first in the world for nine consecutive years. Automobile production and sales increased by 14.5% and 13.7% year-on-year; in 2017, commercial vehicle production and sales increased by 15.1% and 17.5% year-on-year. The technical requirements of automobile lightweight and the optimized manufacturing of automobile parts provide a wider space for new mold technologies and new applications. In 2016 and 2017, there were 400 to 500 new models and modified models, and automobile molds supported the model replacement. Chinese cars are developing towards new functional concepts of data space, second home space, office space, and smart space. The interior reform in the era of autonomous driving makes automobile molds in the future to respond to such demands in the field of innovative applications. Design and manufacturing intensive and mold synchronous development, manufacturing collaboration and cost control, forming production control and mold assembly and debugging solutions; automated forming production lines and mold post-mold services are all our comprehensive capabilities for mold companies; automotive light The (super) high-strength steel plate stamping molds, fiber-reinforced and multi-material multi-color injection molds, light alloy die-casting and casting molds required for quantitative manufacturing technology are destined to be the core forming guarantees of automobile manufacturers.

In terms of demand for other manufacturing molds, the electronic information manufacturing industry announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has maintained rapid growth in the production of China’s communication equipment industry in 2017. In 2017, the overall scale of China’s electronic information industry above designated size reached 18.5 trillion yuan. The output of mobile phones, computers and color TVs ranked first in the world, and a number of globally competitive leading companies emerged in the fields of communication equipment and the Internet. In 2017, the overall operation of China’s electronic information industry showed a steady progress. The revenue scale was nearly 20 trillion yuan, and the annual output of smart phones reached 1.4 billion units. Huawei, OPPO, Xiaomi, and vivo ranked among the top six in global smart phone shipments. The supply of electronic molds, especially mobile phone molds, has ushered in a new peak period of development.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of plastic products in China in 2017 was 77 million tons; the cumulative profit of the household appliance industry increased by 20.4% year-on-year, the full-color TV increased by more than 10% year-on-year; the production of the electronic component industry increased by more than 10% year-on-year, integrated circuits Production has increased by 25% year-on-year. The forming of parts in new industries such as financial instruments and other industries with new consumption models is completed by molds. Molds, as process equipment, support the rapid growth of emerging products in consumption upgrades.
