China's mold industry and modern manufacturing co-dependent development

 

    Thirty years of development has made China a world leader in mold manufacturing and consumption, and has established a mold industry system. In 2017, China’s mold sales exceeded 200 billion yuan, and 243.3 billion Chinese mold consumption values ​​supported 27 trillion yuan in product manufacturing. China National Association of Mold Manufacturers Qin Hao, secretary of the China National Mould Industry Association, said on the "Mold and Modern Manufacturing Report Conference" on the afternoon of April 10th that China's mold enterprises are well-equipped and healthy in the mold manufacturing ecosystem, serving as a benefit amplifier for downstream product manufacturing. Significant. To boost the development of China's equipment manufacturing industry, the market-guided capacity enhancement is reflected in the core component manufacturing companies in the integrated industrial chain, and the mold industry supporting consumer and automotive consumption support services is an indispensable part of these manufacturing industries. component.

 

    At present, China's mold industry innovation has entered a new phase from tracking to tracking and running, and a group of companies have entered the first square of international manufacturing. In the future, mold products will continue to develop in the direction of large-scale (multi-process, multi-component, multi-cavity) precision, high performance, and integration. Mould enterprises have long been transformed from drawing processing to product design and forming studies for downstream users of the mold. While providing molds and mold forming processes, they also provide peripheral equipment for mold forming. That is, the mold manufacturer is also working with downstream mold customers. Partner integrator who provides the product. Reconstruct the relationship between the mold and the user, and provide a new model of differentiated, customized, personalized, accurate service zero (part) piece forming overall solution, making the mold enterprise an important part of future inseparable forming equipment support for downstream customers.

 

    In addition, from the perspective of market segments, the demand for molds in the automotive manufacturing sector is increasing. In 2017, China's auto production and sales completed 2902 and 28.88 million vehicles, ranking the first in the world for nine consecutive years, and automobile production and sales increased by 14.5% and 13.7% year-on-year. In 2017, production and sales of commercial vehicles increased by 15.1% and 17.5% year-on-year. The technical needs of automotive lightweighting and the optimized manufacturing of automotive parts provide a wider space for new mold applications and new applications. 2016 and 2017 new models and modified models are all in the range of 400 to 500, and automobile molds support the replacement of models. Chinese autos are developing new functional concepts in the data space, second home space, office space, and smart space. The changes in the interior of the auto-driving era will enable the automotive mold to respond to such needs in the field of innovative applications in the future. Intensive design and manufacturing and simultaneous mold development, manufacturing coordination and cost control, forming and production control and mold assembly and debugging and other solutions; automatic molding production line and after-mold service, etc. are all our comprehensive ability to provide mold enterprises; The (ultra) high-strength steel stamping dies, fiber-reinforced and multi-material multi-color injection dies, light alloy die-casting and casting dies that are required for quantification of manufacturing technology are destined to be the core shaping guarantee for automobile manufacturers.

 

    Looking at the demand for other manufacturing molds, the electronic information manufacturing industry released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology maintained a rapid growth in China's communications equipment industry production in 2017. In 2017, the overall size of China's electronic information industry above designated size reached 18.5 trillion yuan, and the output of mobile phones, computers, and color TVs ranked first in the world. A group of leading enterprises with global competitiveness emerged in the field of communications equipment and the Internet. In 2017, the overall operation of China's electronic information industry showed steady progress, revenue reached 20 trillion yuan, and the annual output of smart phones reached 1.4 billion units. Huawei, OPPO, Xiaomi and vivo ranked among the top six global smartphone shipments. The supply of electronic molds, especially mobile phone molds, has ushered in a new peak period of development.

 

    According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s plastic product output was 77 million tons in 2017; the household electrical appliance industry’s profits increased by 20.4% year-on-year; full-color TVs increased by more than 10% year-on-year; the electronic component industry’s production increased by more than 10% year-on-year. Production increased by 25% year-on-year. New parts of the new consumption model, such as financial equipment, and other new industries, all rely on molds to form parts. Molds, as process equipment, support the rapid growth of new products for consumer upgrades.

 

    Qin Hao said that the China Model Association is promoting the "detailed tooling for making molds." The China Modeling Association will make full use of the digital informationization committee among 15 committees and the coordination of the equipment committees to lead the industry in optimizing and improving the manufacturing level. "In the mold industry for the effective application of smart devices to provide support for the protection of talent to promote the healthy development of the mold industry.
