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

Application of mould in automobile industry

The development of the automobile die industry is closely related to the development of the automobile industry, the steady and rapid development of the automobile industry will greatly promote the development of the automobile die industry. Mold is a consumable product with large consumption. More than 90% of the parts in the automobile industry are formed by the mold. At the same time, cold work, hot work and plastic mold are used, and the average consumption of mold is 0.12 tons per 10,000 cars. Under normal circumstances, the manufacture of an ordinary car itself needs about 1500 molds, among which there are nearly 1000 stamping molds and more than 200 molds for interior trim parts.

According to the calculation of professional institutions, the market share of automobile die and mould industry is about 1/3, and according to the statistical data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the sales revenue of automobile die and mould in China in 2017 is 266.342 billion yuan, and accordingly, the market size of automobile die and mould in China in 2017 is estimated to reach 88.8 billion yuan. By 2023, China's auto production will reach nearly 41.82 million units, with an average annual growth rate of about 6.0%, while the demand for auto molds will reach about 500 tons.

Application of mold in consumer electronics industry

With the increasing improvement of people's consumption level, the demand for consumer electronic products continues to expand, product upgrading is accelerated, the market size of consumer electronic products continues to grow, and the die related industries are driven to develop rapidly. Data show that the global consumer electronics market reached nearly 790 billion euros in 2015 alone, up 1.5% from the previous year, driven by the rapid growth of terminal devices such as smartphones, tablets and personal computers.

The continuous growth of China's electronic information industry has formed a relatively complete product categories of manufacturing system and industrial supporting basis. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the sales revenue of China's electronic information industry reached 15.4 trillion yuan in 2015, with an increase of more than 10.4%. China's electronic information manufacturing industry above designated size achieved sales output value of 1.1329.46 billion yuan, with year-on-year growth of 9.0%. The output of major products such as mobile phones and integrated circuits reached 1.81 billion units and 108.72 billion units respectively, up 7.8 percent and 7.1 percent year on year, respectively. The production of consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, personal computers and tablets, accounts 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 trend of steady rise.

Application of mould in home appliance industry

With the increasing improvement of living standards, the demand for household appliances in China has maintained 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 1.460560 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, creating a complete upstream and downstream industry chain. The vast majority of components of home appliance products depend on injection molding. The industrial cluster provides a good external environment for the linkage effect between the mold industry and the household appliance industry. Experts predict, as home appliance products gradually to intelligent, personalized and lightweight direction development, home appliance products update iteration speed is accelerated, the future home appliance industry market will still maintain a stable growth trend.

conclusion

Mold industry is a basic industry in the national economy. At present, China is in the transformation of industrial structure. The national goal planning for emerging industries is to strive to reach 15% of the proportion of added value of strategic emerging industries in GDP by 2020. In order to reach the target of 15%, among the seven strategic emerging industries, high-end equipment manufacturing industry, as the pillar industry of the national economy in the future, will be vigorously developed, while the die and mould industry, as the mother of modern industry, will benefit from the development of high-end equipment manufacturing industry and obtain rapid development
