Molds, industrial production for injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting or forging press forming, smelting, stamping and other methods to obtain a variety of molds and tools. In short, the mold is a tool used to make molded items, this tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts. It is mainly through the change of the physical state of the formed material to achieve the processing of the shape of the item, known as the "mother of industry" title.

With the development of China's industrial manufacturing, after decades of accumulation of mold manufacturing technology, mold products have gradually been applied to all walks of life, showing a development trend of synchronous expansion of vertical and horizontal depth. Under the background of the improvement of mold manufacturing technology and the increasingly fierce market competition, mold products are gradually being widely used in traffic equipment mainly represented by automobiles, and light industrial products mainly represented by household appliances, consumer electronics and plastic products.

Application of mold in automotive industry

The development of the automotive mold industry is closely related to the development of the automotive industry, and the steady and rapid development of the automotive industry will greatly promote the development of the automotive mold industry. The mold is a consumable, the amount is large, more than 90% of the parts of the automotive industry are formed by the mold, while the use of cold work, hot work, plastic mold, the average consumption of 0.12 tons of mold per 10,000 vehicles. Under normal circumstances, the manufacture of an ordinary car itself requires about 1500 molds, of which there are close to 1000 stamping molds and more than 200 interior parts molds.

According to the calculation of professional institutions, the auto mold accounted for about 1/3 of the market share of the mold industry, and according to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the sales revenue of China's auto mold in 2017 was 266.342 billion yuan, which estimates that the market size of China's auto mold in 2017 reached 88.8 billion yuan. By 2023, China's automobile production will reach nearly 41.82 million units, with an average annual growth rate of about 6.0%, and the demand for automobile molds will reach about 500 tons.

Application of mold in consumer electronics industry

With the increasing level of people's consumption, the demand for consumer electronic products continues to expand, product replacement is accelerating, and the market size of consumer electronic products continues to grow, while driving the rapid development of mould-related industries. Data show that in 2015 alone, the global consumer electronics market, driven by the rapid growth of smartphones, tablets, personal computers and other terminal devices, reached nearly 790 billion euros, an increase of 1.5% over the previous year.

The continuous growth of the scale of China's electronic information industry has formed a relatively complete product categories of the manufacturing system and industrial supporting basis. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2015, the sales revenue of China's electronic information industry reached 15.4 trillion yuan, an increase of more than 10.4%; China's electronic information manufacturing industry above designated size achieved sales output value of 113,2946 billion yuan, an increase of 9.0%. The output of major products such as mobile phones and integrated circuits reached 1.81 billion and 108.72 billion, up 7.8% and 7.1% year-on-year, respectively. The production of consumer electronics such as mobile phones, personal computers and tablets accounted for more than 50% of global production, firmly occupying the first position in the world. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the demand for molds in the consumer electronics industry will still show a steady upward trend.

Application of mold in home appliance industry

With the increasing improvement of living standards, the demand for household appliances in China has maintained a steady and rapid development. According to the data, from 2011 to 2016, the main business income of China's home appliance industry increased from 1101.575 billion yuan to 1460560 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.80%; The total profit of the industry increased rapidly from 51.162 billion yuan to 119.690 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 18.53%.

China's home appliance industry has formed a complete component independent supporting system and created a complete upstream and downstream industry chain. The vast majority of components of home appliance products rely on mold injection molding, and industrial clustering provides a good external environment for the linkage effect of mold industry and home appliance industry. Experts expect that with the gradual development of home appliance products to the direction of intelligence, personalization and lightweight, the update and iteration speed of home appliance products is significantly accelerated, and the future home appliance industry market will still maintain a stable growth trend.

peroration

The mold industry belongs to the basic industry of the national economy, at present, China is in the transition period of industrial structure, the national target planning of emerging industries is to 2020 strategic emerging industries added value accounted for the proportion of GDP strive to reach 15%. In order to reach the target of 15%, among the seven strategic emerging industries, high-end equipment manufacturing industry as the future pillar industry of the national economy will be vigorously developed, and the mold industry as the mother of modern industry will benefit from the development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry and obtain rapid development.
