Plastic molds account for the largest proportion of my country's total mold sales, accounting for about 45%; stamping molds account for about 37%; casting molds account for about 9%; other types of molds total about 9%.

　　There are about 30,000 mold manufacturing factories in my country, employing about 1 million people. In 2015, the national total sales of molds was about 171.8 billion yuan (excluding self-produced and self-used molds that did not enter the circulation link, the same below), and the output value of self-use molds of enterprises was about 40 billion yuan. In 2016, the country's total mold sales are expected to reach 180 billion yuan.

　　Since 2010, my country's mold industry has achieved a surplus in foreign trade, and the amount of the surplus has increased year by year, the development trend is good, and the structure is further tending to be reasonable.

　　According to the 2017-2022 China Machine Tool Mold Industry Development Prospect Analysis and Development Strategy Research Report released by the China Report Hall, as the focus of mold manufacturing in developed countries has shifted to developing countries represented by China, the domestic mold manufacturing industry has grown rapidly. At the same time, it further intensifies the competition in the industry. The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta are the two major mold manufacturing bases and sales distribution centers in China. The competition between the two regions has intensified. Among them, the number, income and profit proportion of the three foreign-funded enterprises are 35.98%, 47.19% and 56.05% respectively. In my country's mold manufacturing industry occupy a very important position in the competition.

　　In the future, the industrial development of the mold industry will pay more attention to the transformation of efficiency and quality manufacturing: the manufacturing flow guided by quality data will run through mold enterprise design, manufacturing, and feedback manufacturing, and integrate enterprise information flow, capital flow, and logistics under the framework of quality control to achieve benefits , Quality horizontal and vertical two-way integration;

　　Use refinement, knowledge, and specialization to achieve value-added efficiency; software technology enhances the application value of hardware equipment and realizes value-added efficiency; customer data and management are shared to improve resource efficiency, operational efficiency, and R&D efficiency.

　　Opportunities and adjustments in my country's mold industry coexist. In the future, the long-term development of the mold industry will still rely on the advancement of science and technology to enhance international competitiveness and strengthen the technology and innovative research and development of mold products.
