As one of the pillar industries of China's light industry, the plastic industry has maintained a growth rate of more than 10% in recent years. In the plastics industry, the plastic hardware industry market is very active, becoming a new consumer hotspot and a new economic growth point. The market prospect of plastic mold is considerable, but it is far from the technical level of foreign countries.

The current situation of the plastic industry: The prospect is promising and there are many problems

With the progress of processing technology and production equipment, with plastic materials as raw materials for production, thermoplastic/thermosetting plastic products treated by different production and processing processes such as hollow molding are more and more widely used in different occasions of production and life, light industrial machinery, agriculture, forestry and transportation industries, plastic products are widely used.

However, because plastic products belong to high polymer, how to deal with waste plastic products has become a head-scratching problem. Simple landfill treatment, plastic products are difficult to decompose, but also pollute the soil environment. If incineration is carried out, the auxiliary materials added in the plastic production process will produce toxic and harmful gases and pollute the air environment.

It is understood that the emergence and development of the recycled plastic industry is expected to solve the problem of plastic product pollution. In recent years, people pay more attention to the quality of the living environment, the people's environmental awareness continues to increase, coupled with the rising price of crude oil, to promote the high price of plastic raw materials, clean and environmentally friendly recycled plastic industry has been a good opportunity for development, industry experts introduce, through technological innovation of products and industrial structure adjustment, China's recycled plastic industry has made great progress, is towards high quality, Multi-variety, high-tech direction of development.

Although China's recycled plastics industry has a promising future, it still faces many problems in the actual development process. On the one hand, due to the wide source of recycled plastic, its quality is uneven, and the performance difference between batches is also very large, resulting in low quality stability of recycled plastic; On the other hand, the cost of recycled plastic is relatively high, and its price is higher than the price of raw plastic. In addition, from the overall situation of the current recycled plastic industry, domestic waste plastic recycling enterprises are still mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, and the industry concentration is relatively dispersed. Because the recycling of waste plastics is a complex process, the technical requirements are also relatively high. However, China's domestic recycled plastic industry is still based on physical recycling, which undoubtedly hinders the development process of the entire industry to some extent.

Experts believe that in the country to vigorously promote the circular economy, the implementation of traditional industrial reform, the promotion of environmentally friendly sustainable development under the background, although the domestic recycled plastics industry there are still a variety of problems to be solved, the development prospects of the recycled plastics industry is still bright. Domestic plastic industry enterprises should seize the opportunity to develop recycled plastic production projects and promote the green development of the industry.

Some domestic plastic molds began to replace imported products

Mold industry belongs to the basic industry of the national economy, involving machinery, automobile, light industry, electronics, chemical industry, metallurgy, building materials and other industries, the application range is very wide. China's industrial development is rapid, including the development of automobile manufacturing, IT manufacturing and medical devices, so that the entire mold industry ushered in development opportunities.

In recent years, domestic enterprises continue to improve the mold process technology and products, therefore, some plastic molds or injection parts began to circulate internationally, successfully entered the supply chain system of some high-end industries, but also replaced some imported products, get rid of their dependence. But it is undeniable that only a few of them are in the international high-end market.

With the improvement of the technical level of China's mold industry and the gradual increase of product levels, now some international host industry supply chain system is further tilted to domestic enterprises, which will make it an opportunity and challenge. It is understood that by 2015, the independent matching rate of molds required by the Chinese market will reach more than 85%, of which the independent matching rate of high-end molds will be significantly improved.

Some experts pointed out that in addition to continuing to improve production capacity in the future, China's mold industry should focus on internal structural adjustment and the level of technological development. Mainly the enterprise structure to the professional adjustment, the product structure to the development of high-end mold, to the improvement of import and export structure, the formation analysis and structural improvement of high-end automobile covering parts, multi-functional composite mold and composite processing and laser technology in the mold design and manufacturing application, high-speed cutting, super finishing and polishing technology, information direction.
