China's mold industry may reshuffle during the 12t

Luo Baihui: "during the 12th Five Year Plan period, China's mold industry may be reshuffled

China's mold industry experienced a period of rapid development during the 11th Five Year Plan period. However, under the influence of multiple factors, the industry may face a reshuffle during the 12th Five Year Plan period. Luo Baihui, Secretary General of the International Model Association, said

recently, Luo Baihui, Secretary General of the International Mold Association, said in an interview that China's mold industry has achieved rapid development during the "Eleventh Five Year Plan". In terms of industrial layout, the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta have become the two regions with the most concentrated mold industry in China. In recent years, the Bohai Rim region is developing rapidly, and the mold industry in the central and western regions is also rising. At the same time, more than 50 mold production agglomeration areas have further developed and gradually formed a scale, among which there are some "mold cities" focusing on the development of modern service industry, showing a good momentum of development. The development of cluster production mode is mainly reflected in the development of mold production agglomeration areas. At present, in some new production agglomeration areas, there are more and more service platforms and service forms serving the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises in the mold industry, the service content is also becoming richer and richer, and the service output value is rising rapidly

in terms of marketing, the mold market has been further explored and developed, and new growth points have attracted much attention. In the domestic market, automobile lightweight, new energy, medical devices, aerospace, energy conservation and emission reduction and other fields have become important new growth points in the mold industry. In the international market, in addition to the traditional European, American, Japanese and Southeast Asian markets, the development of emerging markets such as Brazil, India, Russia and Australia has achieved results

looking at the world pattern, Luo Baihui believes that the global financial crisis, the great earthquake in Japan and the political turmoil in Libya and Syria have all produced a "Butterfly Effect" on the global mold industry chain. At the 5th Asia International Mold Exhibition (asiamold 2011) held in September this year, many exhibitors said during the experiment of expanding Dalian selection that under the triple influence of rising labor costs, RMB appreciation and slowing global economic growth, the business environment of enterprises has become more difficult

according to Yang Yingjie, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Hong Kong Mold Association, by the beginning of next year, 20-25% of the enterprises in the plastic mold manufacturing and molding industry in South China may face bankruptcy, and many factories have been closed in the first seven months of this year. He said that at present, the overcapacity in the industry is very serious, and the capacity utilization rate of many enterprises is only 50%, even though such enterprises may not be large

another member of the Executive Committee of the Hong Kong Mold Association, ou JIEHAO, also said that the business growth of the whole industry has been quite slow in recent months due to the increasingly cautious purchase of mold buyers

in the face of challenges, the Chinese government has taken a series of positive measures to expand domestic demand, adjust structure and ensure people's livelihood, such as increasing investment in infrastructure and stimulating the production and consumption of investment products; The implementation of preferential policies such as electric appliances to the countryside, automobiles to the countryside, building materials to the countryside, and tax cuts has played a positive role in product development and market expansion, thereby reducing the impact on the manufacturing industry, including the mold industry. On the other hand, enterprises have strengthened management to varying degrees and taken some measures to reduce risks and strengthen the management of cash flow; Strengthen cost accounting and reduce costs; Actively explore the market; Strengthen the research and development work and strengthen the adjustment of product structure; We have achieved good results in strengthening the standardization and informatization of enterprise production management. At the same time, the overall level of the industry has improved rapidly. It is mainly reflected in the continuous rise in the proportion of medium and high-end molds, mainly represented by large, precision, complex and long-life molds, the obvious scientific and technological progress and the great improvement of product level. The gap between the average unit price of mold import and export is shrinking, reflecting the improvement of the overall level of China's mold industry and the progress of science and technology

Luo Baihui pointed out that in order to effectively enhance the competitiveness of China's mold industry in the international market, we can no longer only emphasize the "small and specialized, small and refined, small and special, small and new" of mold production enterprises, but must put the "scale effect" of developing the mold industry on the important agenda of industrial development

we should selectively focus on cultivating a number of industry leading enterprises according to the focus of industry development. Enterprises should be encouraged to take improving product quality, grade and labor productivity as the guidance, accelerate the pace of restructuring and reorganization, improve the production concentration of the industry, and enable enterprises to have the strength of product research and development, quality testing, technological transformation, expanding exports and improving economic benefits, so as to drive the improvement of the overall level and competitiveness of the industry

on the basis of the development of cluster production in previous years, on the one hand, we should continue to support and encourage qualified regions to speed up the construction of mold production bases with high level and greater capacity, such as mold cities and mold industrial parks, and gradually form a regional mold production industrial chain with relatively supporting facilities through market-oriented operation; On the other hand, we should take auto panel dies, precision stamping dies, large and precision plastic dies, main die standard parts and high-tech dies as the main service objects, and actively use them for other elastic components and small-scale mechanical property experiment guidance through matchmaking, so as to form a regional die manufacturing network with greater strength and higher level

in addition, at present, some regions are actively exploring the industrial alliance and network production between mold enterprises, which is also a good development direction. According to the principle of "joint cooperation, complementary advantages, and win-win cooperation", the company is mainly responsible for developing the ultra-thin carbon fiber layer technology in a permanent situation, gradually promoting it in the industry, doing a good job in the connection between production and demand, and promoting the specialization of the mold industry The commercialization development and large-scale production of mold standard parts promote the continuous improvement of the use coverage of mold standard parts and the continuous development of the industry. Key backbone enterprises should establish their own technology R & D centers and increase scientific and technological investment. They should not only produce products according to user drawings and technical requirements, but also actively cooperate with users, put forward suggestions to improve mold design according to the development of mold technology, and improve products. The latest research results of 3D printing technology provide solutions and development for this, Form products with independent intellectual property rights and independent brands
