According to analysis of the plastic mold industry is a huge big cake

Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China’s economic development and social progress have achieved great achievements that have drawn worldwide attention. Especially industrial development is even more pronounced.

The rapid development of industry and the continuous improvement of general and engineering plastics in terms of strength and precision have all contributed to the continuous expansion of the application range of plastic products. The proportion of plastic products is also rapidly increasing. In particular, a reasonably designed plastic part can often replace many traditional metal parts. The amount of plastic products is also rising. This has greatly promoted the development of the plastic mold industry.

Shang Pu consulting machinery industry analyst pointed out: In recent years, China's plastic mold development speed is very rapid. At present, China's plastic molds account for about 30% of the entire mold industry. With the continuous improvement of the level of CNC processing equipment, companies are also increasing the development of plastic mold, plastic mold has become the most attractive mold "cake."

Especially with the rapid development of China's auto, home appliances, electronic communications and other industries, it is expected that in the future mold market, the proportion of plastic molds in the total number of molds will gradually increase, and the development speed will be faster than other molds. In the production of automobiles, all kinds of functional components must be molded by molds. Only about 200 pieces of interior parts are needed to make an ordinary car, while large and medium-sized ones are needed to make bumpers, dashboards, fuel tanks, and steering wheels. Plastic mold, from the mold industry production capacity, the current satisfaction rate is only about 50%. With the rapid growth of automobile production and sales, the potential market for automotive molds is very large.

According to the "2011-2016 China Plastics Die Hot-rolled Heavy Plate Market Analysis and Investment Strategy Report" issued by Champ Consulting, it shows that in the field of construction, plastic building materials replace traditional materials is also a general trend. It is estimated that in 2012 China's plastic doors and plastic The penetration rate of the pipe will exceed 45%, and the market share of plastic drainage pipe will exceed 50%, which all promotes the increase in the demand for molds.

In the future, molds will be developed in the direction of large-scale, high-precision, multi-functional composites, etc. The proportion of hot runner molds in plastic molds will gradually increase, and with the continuous improvement and development of plastic molding processes, gas-assisted molds and high pressures Injection molding and other processes will also follow the mold. At the same time, due to China's imports of molds of around US$1 billion per year in recent years, precision, large-scale, complex, and long-life molds account for the majority. From the perspective of reducing imports, China should also accelerate the development of high-grade plastic molds.
