Looking back at 2013, which has just passed, the development status of China's mold industry in 2013 has been significantly improved. The relevant experts put forward their own views:

1. The implementation of the strategy to expand domestic demand will promote the development of China's manufacturing industry.

Among them, the development of large-user mold industries such as automobiles, home appliances, IT industry, packaging, building materials, and daily necessities will continue to provide a large market space for the development of the mold industry. For example, more than 90% of auto manufacturing processes use molds, automotive-related molds already account for more than one-third of China's total molds, Germany, Japan, and the United States account for more than 40%, and the development of auto molds relies mainly on the launch of new models; plastics More than 90% of the products are molded by molds, so the plastic molds account for 45% of the total molds in China. China's plastic products are close to 60 million tons in 2012, and annual growth is 15% to 20%.

2. Due to manufacturing costs and other reasons in industrialized countries, the demand for middle-to-high-end molds, including some high-end molds, is mainly resolved through external procurement. China's mold level and export capacity can fully meet the needs, so the mold export market is huge.

3. After 30 years of development, the system of our country's mold industry is basically complete, the level of technology has been greatly improved, and our business management capabilities have continued to improve.

In 2013, it is certain that the mold industry will grow by 10% by accelerating the transformation and upgrading, enhancing the ability to innovate, and improving the product level. At the same time, due to the fact that China’s molds still have a comparative advantage in the international market, it is still possible that the annual growth rate of exports will reach around 20%.

It is reported that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the overall goal of the development of intelligent mold manufacturing equipment for strategic emerging industries in China is to develop intelligent molds to promote the improvement of the overall level of high-efficiency, precision, and high-performance molds to meet the “Intelligent Manufacturing” requirements. To drive the mold to improve the overall level of strategic emerging industry services, so that the level of smart mold has been greatly improved, and lay a solid foundation for China's mold industry into the world mold power by 2020.
