Market analysis overseas advanced mold industry geographical distribution

Japan's mold industry At present, Japan's mold manufacturing technology is still in a leading position in the world. According to statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Japan, there are about 10,000 mold manufacturing plants in Japan, of which less than 20 people account for more than 91%, that is, the Japanese mold industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly relying on specialized division of labor to complete high-quality mold design, Processing. As Japan's specialized division of labor is doing well, the overall manufacturing level of small and medium-sized mold enterprises is high, making the "Made in Japan" mold a symbol of brand and quality. In recent years, Japan's plastic molds, powder metallurgy molds, and die-casting molds have grown significantly, while stamping molds and forging molds have been decreasing. According to Luo Baihui, Japanese molds currently face five major issues - shortened delivery time, lower manufacturing costs, improved mold quality and precision, insufficient labor force, and meeting the challenges of Asian countries. For this situation, many mold manufacturers in Japan are actively expanding their investment in equipment. In terms of processing, a large number of unattended processing units are used, or on-line control through computers. Almost all of the design and manufacturing departments use CAD/CAE/CAM technology for motion simulation analysis and DNC (Direct Digital Control) processing. The technology development of molds is mainly focused on high precision, high speed, long life, complexity, large scale, integration, and high performance.

The United States Mold Industry The United States currently has about 7,000 mold companies, and more than 90% of them are small companies with less than 50 people. Due to the high degree of industrialization, the US mold industry has long been a mature high-tech industry and is in the forefront of the world. The US mold steel has achieved standardized production and supply, mold design and manufacturing commonly used CAD/CAE/CAM technology, processing technology, inspection and testing supporting advanced equipment, large-scale, complex, sophisticated, long-life, high-performance mold development reached the leading level.

However, since the 1990s, the U.S. economy has faced major adjustments and major changes in the post-industrial era. It has also faced strong international competition—from cost pressures, time pressures, and competitive pressures.

German mold industry Germany has always been known for its superb processing skills and production of precision machinery and tools. The mold industry also fully embodies this feature. After many years of practical exploration in the industrial field where the mold has a complex connotation, the German mold manufacturers have formed a consensus that the entire industry must coordinate, work together, tap the potential of development, and jointly promote the spirit of innovation, common technological progress, complement each other and play a good role. The overall advantage to achieve the industry's success. In addition, in order to meet the needs of the rapid development of today's new products, not only large companies have established new development centers in Germany, but many small and medium-sized enterprises have also done so, taking the initiative to do research and development work for customers. In terms of research, Germany has always been very active and has become an important basis for its unbeaten position in the international market. In the fierce competition, the German mold industry has maintained its strong position in the international market for many years, and its export rate has been stable at around 33%.

According to the statistics of German tooling industry association, the German Association of Machinery Manufacturers (VDMA), there are about 5,000 die companies in Germany. In 2003, the German die value reached 4.8 billion euros. Among them, there are 90 (VDMA) member mold companies, and the output value of these 90 backbone mold companies accounts for 90% of the German mold output value.

The Singapore mold industry Singapore is a small country with a population of only 3 million. In the 1980s and 1990s, the government paid attention to and supported the development of precision molds, and introduced many policies to enable the rapid growth of the mold industry and promote the rapid development of the Singaporean economy.

Singapore has more than 1,000 types of molds and related companies for precision machining. The annual production value of molds exceeds RMB 4.5 billion, which has a very important influence and role in the Asian mold industry. There are more than 10 listed companies in the mold industry. The molds produced by more than 65% of Singapore's enterprises are all supported by the electronics industry. The molds produced are not large, but they are all high-precision, high-level molds.

Singapore mold companies are mainly concentrated in semiconductor frames / packaging molds, metal stamping molds, plastic molds, silicone rubber molds and other fields.
