Chinese mold industry imported equipment to play a leading role

Since the reform and opening up, as China's machinery, electronics, light industry, instrumentation, transportation and other industrial sectors have flourished, the number of molds is increasing, the quality requirements are getting higher and higher, and the delivery period is getting shorter and shorter.

In recent years, the field of application of molds has continued to expand. In the domestic market, on the basis of serving the traditional manufacturing industries such as machinery, automobiles and electronic appliances, with the adjustment of national industrial policies, industries such as aerospace, new energy, IT, medical machinery, and high-speed railway have raised higher levels in the mold industry. The requirements also provide a new market opportunity for the mold industry.

In 2011, China's mold manufacturing industry scale (20 million yuan) has 1589 enterprises with a total assets of 13.982 billion yuan, an increase of 16.28%; sales revenue of 163.988 billion yuan, an increase of 27.35%; total profit of 10.71 billion yuan, an increase from the same period last year 13.76%. From January to September 2012, the mold industry achieved sales revenue of 128.369 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.96%, and total profit of 7.346 billion yuan, an increase of 564 million yuan year-on-year.

In the international market, the current world mold market in short supply, the total market has exceeded 150 billion US dollars, while China's mold exports account for about 1/6, China's mold export market space.

However, in front of this huge market cake, the development of our country's mold industry is not so optimistic. The reason is because the technological upgrade of the industry has not kept pace with the development of the times and the development has lagged behind.

At present, compared with imported equipment, the equipment market for the mold industry is less competitive with respect to performance, reliability, accuracy, quality, delivery time, and comprehensive service capabilities. Luo Baihui believes that the main reason is that the capacity for independent innovation is weak. It does not attach importance to the equipment market in the mold industry, and the system, mechanism, and management cannot keep up with the three aspects.

First, there is a strong demand for CNC machine tools in the domestic market, especially for medium and low-end products, which are widely spread and easy to produce. Most machine tool factories are full of tasks, which makes many companies no longer pursue high, refined, sharp and difficult. The varieties and high-grade products; Second, the vast majority of machine tool companies, independent innovation ability is weak, the core technology and key technologies to master less, even if the intention is to develop high-end products, but it is more than enough; the third is the mold industry Although there is a relatively large equipment market, but because of the special nature of mold processing, especially the individual requirements are more prominent, mold enterprises are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, ordering digital equipment is difficult to form larger quantities, so to meet the needs of the mold industry, There are indeed more difficulties, and great efforts must be made. There are also risks and levels. In view of these three reasons, the domestic machine tool manufacturers still do not pay attention to the equipment market of the mold industry, or have no time to attend to it, and have to allow imported equipment to play the leading role.
