The industrial structure of China's mold industry reform is becoming more and more reasonable

In recent years, China's mold industry has accelerated the pace of institutional reforms and mechanisms, and its industrial structure has become more reasonable. Luo Baihui, CEO of Die Network, noted that China's mold will occupy the chief position in the world mold market. It is expected that by 2018, China will become one of the largest mold manufacturing bases in the world.

According to statistics, in the previous years, 58% of global molds were produced in Germany and other Western European countries, and the proportion of Asian countries such as China accounted for only 1%, but in the future, molds in Eastern European countries will have a substantial increase, while Asian countries’ The proportion of production will increase to around 22%. Luo Baihui is full of confidence in the future of mold development in China. He believes that due to the advantages of cheap labor costs in China and the good momentum of sustained and rapid development of the overall economy, the prospects for the development of mold in China will be very broad. However, due to the early misunderstanding of the price war in China's mold market and the lack of independent innovation capabilities, there has been no corresponding establishment of a reliable and reliable market system. 65% of European customers feel that the price of Chinese molds is low but their quality is not good.

At present, more and more foreign-funded enterprises see the increasingly developing Chinese mold market entering the Chinese mold market one after another. Many internationally-known automobile molds, stamping dies and injection mold enterprises have also gradually entered China and have entered the Chinese market. Very fast and very fast. For example, Toyota Japan set up a plant in Tianjin. It takes less than one year to plan, build, and produce. US SEKELY is a large stamping die factory in North America. In 2006, it was in Shanghai. The second phase of the project is mainly for stamping dies. Magna of North America has built a certain size of stamping factories in the airport of Tianjin in 2006, and in the areas of Guangdong and Shenzhen in southern China, the ratio of Hong Kong capital, Taiwanese capital, and foreign companies is higher. All of them, the total sales volume of molds has become China's largest area.

Foreign companies entering the Chinese market not only bring funds to the Chinese market, but also bring advanced technology, equipment and factory management. Foreign mold companies have increasingly felt the influence and pressure from their Chinese counterparts.

According to a survey conducted by the relevant research department, the time spent on mold design and production in Europe was 44% faster and 61% faster than that in China, but the cost of mold design and production in China was only 91% of European counterparts because of the low labor cost in China. It has a strong attraction for some foreign customers. At the same time, mold competition between Europe and other countries in the world has been correspondingly intensified. For example, the overall mold price in Germany in the last two and a half years has fallen by about 25%.

With the increasing role and status of the mold industry in the national economy, the national manufacturing industry ranks the mold industry as the mother of Chinese manufacturing, and mold manufacturing is listed as one of the most fundamental cornerstones supporting the development of China's manufacturing industry. To revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry, it is necessary to develop molds to save energy and materials and to change the mode of production growth and change the structure. Since 1997, the state has applied a preferential policy of returning 70% on the value-added tax for some domestic mold enterprises. In 2006, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation also clarified 230 mold enterprises from January 1, 2006 to 2008. On December 31st of the year, enjoy 50% preferential return policy for VAT on mold products. Preferential policy support provided a good social environment and policy guarantee for the development of the mold industry, improved the enthusiasm and initiative of the mold industry practitioners, the correct industrial policy has produced the correct guiding role, and promoted the technical level of China's mold industry Improve and form the backbone of the mold enterprise team.

The support of national and local industrial policies has promoted the prosperity of the domestic mold market, and has also attracted more and more international capital to the country. There are two connotations.

First, international capital has seen the Chinese market. China has abundant labor resources, natural resources and technical resources. China has become the second largest automobile production country in the world and has become the world's manufacturing base.

Second, multinational corporations have purchased moulds in China, especially middle and low-end moulds. The purchase volume is very large, which objectively drives the export of moulds in China and also reduces the prices of moulds in the international market.

Luo Baihui believes that an ideal solution is to strengthen the cooperation between Chinese and foreign parties, constantly learn advanced foreign technology and management concepts, speed up the industrialization transformation, and strive to improve the company's own core strengths and competitiveness. For example, in terms of improving customer satisfaction, companies not only have to make a fuss about low prices, but more importantly, they must shorten delivery time, improve product quality, emphasize integrity, and master the upstream R&D technology of products.

In addition, the rise of private mold companies is also a major adjustment in the structure of the entire Chinese mold industry, and private mold companies have dominated the entire mold market. In the past few years, people mentioned that automobile mold enterprises may think of companies such as FAW, Tianqi, Dongfeng, etc. But now this pattern has been broken, and more and more private auto mold enterprises have begun to enter the front end of the industry. Stepping on the pace of the times, in the footsteps of the advanced level of international mold development, set off another wave of boom in the Chinese mold market. Many emerging private mold companies are good at summing up the development process of the entire Chinese mold industry, drawing valuable lessons from them and digesting them into the company's design plans and development strategies. Private-owned mold companies are more free in terms of fund use, prompting them to go faster than state-owned companies in the market. Many private mold companies also attach great importance to the company's brand building, focusing on the enterprise's information construction, focusing on the development of the company's international market, and the realization of the mold of professional production.
