Which industries are molds widely used in?

date：2023/08/10

Molds, various molds and tools used in industrial production to obtain the required products by methods such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die-casting or forging molding, smelting, and stamping. In short, a mold is a tool used to make molded objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts. It mainly realizes the processing of the shape of the article through the change of the physical state of the molded material, and is known as the "mother of industry".
Plastic mold
With the development of my country's industrial manufacturing, after decades of accumulation of mold manufacturing technology, mold products have gradually been applied to all walks of life, showing a development trend of simultaneous expansion in vertical and horizontal depth. In the context of the improvement of mold manufacturing technology and the increasingly fierce market competition, mold products are gradually being widely used in transportation equipment represented by automobiles, and light industrial products represented by household appliances, consumer electronics and plastic products.
Application of molds in the automotive industry
The development of the automotive mold industry is closely related to the development of the automotive industry. The steady and rapid development of the automotive industry will greatly promote the development of the automotive mold industry. Moulds are consumables and are used in large quantities. More than 90% of the parts in the automobile industry are formed by moulds. Cold, hot and plastic moulds are used at the same time. An average of 0.12 tons of moulds is consumed per 10,000 cars. Under normal circumstances, to manufacture an ordinary car itself requires about 1,500 molds, among which there are nearly 1,000 stamping molds and more than 200 interior trim molds.
According to estimates by professional institutions, automobile molds account for about 1/3 of the market share of the mold industry. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, the sales revenue of my country's automobile molds in 2017 was 266.342 billion yuan. Based on this, the scale of China's automobile mold market in 2017 is estimated. Reached 88.8 billion yuan. By 2023, China's automobile production will reach nearly 41.82 million, with an average annual growth rate of about 6.0%, and the demand for automobile molds will reach about 500 tons.
Application of molds in consumer electronics industry

With the increasing consumption level of people, the demand for consumer electronic products continues to expand, product upgrading is accelerated, and the market scale of consumer electronic products continues to grow, while driving the rapid development of mold-related industries. Data show that in 2015 alone, the global consumer electronics market, driven by the rapid growth of smartphones, tablets, personal computers and other terminal devices, reached nearly 790 billion euros, an increase of 1.5% over the previous year.
The continuous growth of the scale of my country's electronic information industry has formed a relatively complete manufacturing system and industrial supporting foundation. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2015, the sales revenue of my country's electronic information industry reached 15.4 trillion yuan, an increase of over 10.4%; my country's electronic information manufacturing industry above designated size achieved a sales output value of 11.32946 billion yuan, an increase of 9.0% year-on-year. The output of major products such as mobile phones and integrated circuits reached 1.81 billion units and 108.72 billion units, an increase of 7.8% and 7.1% year-on-year respectively. The production of consumer electronics such as mobile phones, personal computers, and tablets accounted for more than 50% of global production, firmly occupying the world's first position. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the demand for molds in the consumer electronics industry will still show a steady upward trend.
Application of mold in home appliance industry
With the increasing living standards, the demand for household appliances in my country has maintained steady and rapid development. According to data, from 2011 to 2016, the main business income of my country's home appliance industry increased from 1.101.575 billion yuan to 1.460560 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.80%; the total industry profit increased rapidly from 51.162 billion yuan to 119.69 billion yuan, a compound annual compound The growth rate is as high as 18.53%.
my country's home appliance industry has formed a complete independent supporting system for parts and components, creating a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain. Most parts of home appliances rely on injection moulding. Industrial clustering provides a good external environment for the formation of a linkage effect between the mould industry and the home appliance industry. Experts predict that with the gradual development of household appliances in the direction of intelligence, personalization and light weight, the renewal and iteration speed of household appliances will accelerate significantly, and the household appliance industry market will maintain a steady growth trend in the future.
Conclusion
The mold industry is a basic industry in the national economy. At present, my country is in a transitional period of industrial structure. The country's target plan for emerging industries is that by 2020, the added value of strategic emerging industries will account for about 15% of GDP. . To achieve the target of 15%, among the seven strategic emerging industries, high-end equipment manufacturing will be vigorously developed as a pillar industry of the national economy in the future, and the mold industry, the mother of modern industries, will benefit from high-end equipment manufacturing The development of the country has achieved rapid development.
