Mold industry "Twelfth Five-Year" plan introduced

The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of the "China Die and Mould Industry" has formulated a clear development goal and strategic positioning for the development of the Chinese mold industry in the next five years. "Planning" clearly pointed out that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the self-made ratio of homemade molds in the domestic market reached more than 85%, the proportion of middle-to-high-grade molds reached more than 40%, and the number of key and key enterprises reached 160, of which 10 billion yuan were for enterprises 10 About. The research and development expenses of major key enterprises account for about 5% of sales revenue. They must have their own research and development teams and patented technologies, and about half of them should establish technical centers to gradually enter the product design for their services. It is expected that by 2015, the market size of China's mold manufacturing industry will be expected to exceed 300 billion yuan.

At present, there are more than 50,000 mold manufacturing enterprises in the country with about 2 million employees. The import and export scale reaches US$4 billion. The provinces and cities with the most exports are Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai. According to a survey conducted by Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Association for Modeling, the focus of investment in the mold industry in 2013 is likely to shift to infrastructure construction such as urban transportation and LED, medical and other industries, thereby boosting investment in infrastructure investment and social services. Considering the effect of the macroeconomic “steady growth” policy of the country, infrastructure investment, mold city construction, etc. will be steadily advanced. In 2013, the investment growth rate of mold industry is more likely to stabilize, and it is expected that the growth rate of investment in mold industry will be maintained throughout the year. Above 30%, the growth rate of fixed asset investment will remain at around 20%.

In terms of consumption, endogenous growth has been strong but growth has slowed. The automotive industry, although the growth rate has fallen sharply than before, the pace of development of new models has not slowed down. Therefore, the demand for molds is still strong, and the development of strategic emerging industries, as well as energy-saving emission reduction, engineering plastics, etc. will put forward higher and higher requirements for molds. In addition to traditional manufacturing industries such as automobiles, electronics, and home appliances, the aerospace, new energy, IT, medical machinery, and high-speed railway industries have also provided new market opportunities for the mold industry. Such as the medical device industry has a strong dependence on the mold, many mold companies involved in the display of vitality; at the same time, with the sensor and other functions of precision, ultra-precision molds, high-light traceless and mold assembly mold, laminated mold And rotary molds, multi-color multi-material injection molds, multi-layer co-extrusion compound molds, multi-functional high-performance molds are also the latest emerging mold development direction, and showed strong growth momentum.

In the second half of 2013, the export of mold and mold products will show a noticeable trend of slowing down, and it is expected that the growth rate of the export value of the mold industry will be maintained at around 10%. At present, the mold industry has a large degree of dispersion and industrial concentration is poor. Although China's die size is among the highest in the world, it is mostly concentrated in middle and low-end areas, and its technical level and added value are relatively low. On the contrary, many high-end molds also rely on imports.

How can Chinese mold manufacturing enterprises focus on improving product quality and reducing manufacturing costs? Luo Baihui still emphasizes that the mold industry should pay attention to structural adjustment, vigorously develop high value-added products, and take a refined, specialized, and strong line. Although the outlook is good, the mold market itself is also a global competitive market. At present, mold manufacturers in developed countries have also settled in China.
