Mould is an important process equipment in material forming and processing, the value of the products it can produce is often many times that of the mould itself, and the use of moulds can easily mass produce a large number of valuable and meet the quality requirements of the parts. Therefore, the mould is widely used in machinery, electronics, automotive, information, aviation, aerospace, light industry, military, transportation, building materials, medical, biological, energy and other industries, the above industries about 60% -80% of the parts need to rely on mould processing.
Therefore, the mould manufacturing level has become an important symbol to measure the level of a country's manufacturing industry. Not only that, the rapid development of the mould industry can also give strong support to the manufacturing industry, mould industry industry driven by the ratio of about 1:100, that is, the mould industry development of 100 million yuan, can lead to the development of related industries 10 billion yuan.
China's mould industry started late, but the speed of development is very rapid. Thirty years of development has made China become the world's mould manufacturing and consumption of large countries, and established a mould industrial system. China's mould sales in 2017 exceeded 200 billion yuan, 243.3 billion of China's mould consumption value to support the 27 trillion yuan of product manufacturing. China mould industry association secretary-general qin ke in the afternoon of 10th april this year, ‘mould and modern manufacturing industry report’ said, our country mould enterprise is well-equipped, mould manufacturing ecosystem is healthy, for the downstream product manufacturing industry benefit amplifier role is remarkable. Boost the development of China's equipment manufacturing industry, market-led ability to enhance the core parts of the integrated industrial chain embodied in the manufacturing enterprises, automobiles, consumer electronics and other consumer support services to protect the mould industry, is an indispensable and important part of these manufacturing industries.
Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of China's automotive industry, electronic information, home appliances, building materials and machinery industry, the mould industry has achieved rapid development. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the total industrial output value of China's mould industry has risen from 136.731 billion yuan in 2010 to 240.091 billion yuan in 2016, and reached 250.99 billion yuan in 2017 on a new level.
However, during the period of 2010-2016, China's mould production was fluctuating.In 2016, China's mould production was about 17.23 million sets, a decrease of 0.46% compared with the same period of the previous year.
The total industrial output value of the mould industry maintains continuous growth, and at present, although the total volume of China's mould production has ranked among the top in the world, and there are many mould enterprises. However, the mould design and manufacturing level in general than Germany, the United States and other countries lag behind, specifically manifested in: low technology content of the mould has been oversupplied, while the higher technical content of the medium and high-grade moulds are still far from being able to adapt to the needs of the development of the national economy, such as precision, complex stamping moulds and plastic moulds, car cover parts moulds, electronic connectors and other electronic product moulds and other high-grade moulds are still a large portion of the reliance on imports.
