Analysis on the current market situation and development trend of China's mold manufacturing industry in 2021

China business information network news: mold is known as the "mother of industry", which is a processing tool for processing raw materials and giving them complete configuration and precise size. It is mainly used for the efficient and mass production of relevant parts and components in industrial products. With the development of modern industry, molds have been widely used in construction, transportation, automobile, energy, consumer electronics and other fields. According to different processing and forming methods, molds can be divided into stamping molds, die-casting molds, forging molds, casting molds, extrusion molds and other molds.

1、 Current market situation of China's mold manufacturing industry

In recent years, due to the continuous improvement of China's industrialization, China has become a big country in mold manufacturing and mold trade in the world. The mold industry is highly related to many industries and covers a wide range of areas. The continuous development of the downstream market also drives the rapid development of China's mold industry. Especially as the global manufacturing industry shifts to China, driving the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry will also bring new growth opportunities to the mold industry. In 2016, the market size of China's mold industry reached 273.107 billion yuan. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the market size of China's mold industry decreased in 2020, with a market size of 276.612 billion yuan. It is expected that the market scale of China's mold industry will rebound in 2021, reaching 302.833 billion yuan.

2、 Development trend of China's mold manufacturing industry

（1） The market share of leading enterprises has increased, and the industry concentration has gradually increased

At present, the mold manufacturing industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with a large number, but the industry concentration is low. With the continuous growth of demand for high-end downstream applications such as automotive lightweight, consumer electronics, rail transit, etc., leading enterprises in the industry increase R & D investment while deeply cultivating existing customers, speed up the automatic upgrading of production lines, improve the development level of new products, and constantly enhance the one-stop supporting services of multi specification and full production lines, so as to occupy new market share, while the process level is low, the ability of technological development is weak Small enterprises with poor service capacity will be phased out, and market resources will gradually concentrate on advantageous enterprises in the industry.

（2） The domestic low-end market is relatively saturated, and the localization of the medium and high-end market has accelerated

Compared with international leading enterprises, the number of domestic mold manufacturing enterprises is large, but most enterprises mainly produce low-end products due to limited equipment level and R & D investment, and the variety is relatively single, which is difficult to meet the escalating downstream market demand. In recent years, some domestic leading mold manufacturing enterprises have introduced foreign advanced production equipment and technology, strengthened independent technology research and development and production process innovation, improved the automation level of production lines, improved product accuracy and stability, competed with international manufacturers in the medium and high-end market in an all-round way, and constantly realized the import substitution of medium and high-end products.

（3） Manufacturing is developing towards automation and intelligence, and production efficiency is greatly improved

With the deep application of information management technologies such as cad/cae/cam integration technology and three-dimensional design technology in the machinery manufacturing industry and the development of Internet of things technology, the mold manufacturing industry will improve the integration ability of new technologies and the integration ability of software and hardware in the production and design process in the future, and promote the development of production and manufacturing to the direction of automation and intelligence, so as to improve the mold processing efficiency and manufacturing accuracy. Based on the existing technical level and manufacturing capacity, the mold manufacturing industry is gradually realizing the upgrading of efficiency, automation and intelligence through the comprehensive integrated application of communication technology, big data and Internet of things technology, so as to comprehensively improve product design ability and production process control ability.

（4） Rapid response to market demand and improvement of customized R & D and design capabilities have become an important factor in competition

Mold manufacturing products are usually customized production oriented to the actual needs of customers. In recent years, with the expansion of downstream application fields such as photovoltaic, wind power, automotive lightweight, consumer electronics and so on, the speed of product renewal has been accelerating. As an upstream field, the mold manufacturing industry should deeply understand the product characteristics and customer needs, participate in the initial research and development of customers, shorten the research and development cycle, speed up the response speed of production and service, and improve the quality stability of products. Facing the needs of customers and the market, the ability to carry out synchronous R & D, design, production and manufacturing has gradually become an important indicator to measure the market competitiveness of enterprises.
