Middle and high-grade mold prospects can be expected

At present, the domestic market has a large demand for medium-to-high-grade molds. According to forecasts, during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, the general trend of the mold market will be steady upwards, but domestic molds must meet the needs of users in terms of quality and delivery time. Moreover, the home appliances, automobiles, and plastic products industries have the greatest demand for molds. In the international market, labor costs in industrialized countries have increased in recent years and they are being transferred to developing countries, especially Southeast Asian countries. Its domestic production of high-precision molds, labor-intensive labor-intensive molds rely on imports to solve.

In the new wave of world economic integration, the global manufacturing industry has accelerated its shift to mainland China, and China will gradually develop into a world-class manufacturing base. The obvious advantages of Guangdong, especially the Pearl River Delta region, will develop into a global mold production center within 10 years. The tool market is in a period of rapid development. Previously, simple tools with single functions were being replaced by more and more multifunctional tools. In the future production, users will put forward higher requirements for the research and development of tools, not only in the field of tool materials and surface coating technology, but also more stringent requirements for tool production technology.

In terms of technology updates, carbide cutting tools have gradually replaced high-speed steel tools, especially circular tools. The application of coated cutters is becoming more and more common. In Europe, the market for new cutting tools for high-speed machining continues to increase. The dynamics of the manufacturers. Judging from the cooperation mode of tool manufacturers, many large companies will emerge in the high-tech market.

Therefore, the medium and low-end mold international market has great potential. As long as the quality of domestic molds can be improved, the delivery date can be guaranteed, and the outlook for mold exports is very optimistic. In addition, the demand for mold standard parts in the international market is also large. At present, China has only a small amount of exports.

At the same time, due to the fact that China has imported molds for nearly US$1 billion per year in recent years, among which the precision, large-scale, complex, and long-life molds account for the majority, starting from the perspective of reducing imports, the proportion of such high-grade molds and hardware tools in the market will gradually increase. Increase. In the future, China's mold and hardware tools industry will also be ranked in the world.
