Development of Chinese Injection mould Industry

After long-term development, the Chinese injection mould industry is currently in a rising period. In such a stage, what kind of development methods that injection mould companies in China should adopt, which have became a problem that Chinese injection mould companies should thinking actively. Currently there are many companies engaged in plastic injection mould production in China, but the scale is relatively small, basically a small workshop model, there is no scientific and technological content.


The development of Chinese injection mould industry gives strong support to manufacturing industry. At the same time, the development of manufacturing industry has also promoted the development of injection mould industry in China. China has also become a big producer of injection mould. The number of injection mould companies in China has increased to more than 20000, and the number of employees in Chinese plastic injection mould industry is about 1 million. The total annual production value of injection mould has reached 55 billion RMB. However, Chinese injection mould and machine tool industry is still "large but not strong" Although Chinese injection mould industry is well-known as a global "manufacturer" with a huge annual import and export volume, due to the limitation of factors such as technical, talents, Chinese injection mould all are relatively concentrated in the low-end and medium-end markets. Therefore, the high-end injection mould markets has great attraction to Chinese injection mould manufacturers.

Chinese injection mould industry association is an economic organization established by related Chinese injection mould companies, which is established for the development of themselves. Under the conditions of market economy, as an important third-party organization, injection mould industry association in China has the function of coordinating the interests of market players and improving the efficiency of market allocation. Therefore, promoting the construction of Chinese plastic injection mould industry association has become a topic that cannot be ignored. If Chinese plastic injection mould industry want to gain long-term development, it is essential to promote the construction of Chinese injection mould industry association.

The proportion of some high-level injection mould has reached to about 40%. The characters of these injection mould is complexity, precision, large scale, and long life. For example, the weight of a single set of injection mould can reach to 125 ton. Some precision multi-position progressive mould have a life of 300 million punches, and the precision reach to 0.001mm. With the increasing of the precision requirements of the injection moulded parts industry and the progress of science and technology, the processing precision of some injection moulded parts will be within 1μm. The company's innovation, research and development capabilities are improved, the new technologies and new processes are widely promoted. For example, the self-processing technology and the flexibility of injection mould, the integration technology, the structural design system of injection mould, the large-scale progressive die, the advanced injection mould manufacturing technology and the research and development of the 3D design technology, the stamping process design system, the reverse engineering and the body mould digital manufacturing system, etc., that all of them are inseparable from the vigorous development and promotion of digitization and information technology.

Increasing of Chinese injection mould production output
According to statistics, in the first half of 2013, the output of injection mould in Hubei Province was 16388 sets, with a growth rate of 3.43%; of which, 4181 sets were produced in June, and the growth rate was 78.6%. The output of injection mould in Guangxi was 34344 sets, with a growth rate of 6.09% . The output of mould in Chongqing was 7365 sets, with a growth rate of 1.43%. The output of injection mould in Sichuan Province was 921682 sets, with a growth rate of 660.94%. And the output of injection mould in Shenzhen China is more than their total.

Current existed problems in Chinese injection mould industry
With the development of injection mould industry in China, there are also many problems that need to be solved. Chinese injection mould industry has been busy in expanding, ignoring market research and understanding customer needs, resulting in high-end injection mould becoming the short board of Chinese injection mould industry. Most of the high-end injection mould required in the Chinese market rely on imports, while there are a large number of injection mould products in China have no door to sell abroad and a lot of squeeze, resulting in a serious mismatch between supply and demand.
