To the exporting countries, the U.S. ranked first, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan.
    2, tool market
    Tool around the world demand will continue to grow. According to reports, the world's growing demand for cutting tools market. Where in Europe, North America, growing steadily, especially in Eastern Europe; a slight rebound in Asian markets, the market has great potential significant growth market in Latin America, especially Mexico. (In the past year, the tool market has been slow growth in demand mainly due to increase in tool life, and then there is the user request for the entire manufacturing process to replace a lot of machine tools and cutting tools. As well as an increase in the application of multi-functional tool to replace a lot of the past, a simple single-function tool.) experts have predicted, said: "the future users will be more emphasis on plant research and development of the tool, not only in materials and surface coating technology, but also in the process of cutting tool products and their production process context. "the expert said, pay attention to production practices that will help to increase the cutting tool manufacturer in the field of which they are familiar with the market competitiveness.
    Technology updates. Tool product technology perspective, carbide cutting tools to gradually replace high-speed steel cutting tools, especially the circular cutter. The application of coated tools is increasingly common in Europe, the high-speed machining tool with a new volume of market share continues to increase. The dynamics of the manufacturers. Cooperation from the cutting tool manufacturers point of view, in the field of high-tech market will be a lot of large companies powerful combination.
    3, die Situation and development trend of the market
    "Tenth Five-Year" period, the mold a smooth upward trend in the total market. At present, the domestic market for high-grade die in great demand, but domestic demand must die in quality, delivery, etc. to meet the needs of users. Moreover, household appliances, automobiles, plastics industry, the greatest demand on the mold. The international market: In recent years, industrial labor costs in developed countries, its mold being the transfer of developing countries, especially Southeast Asian countries. Its domestic production of high precision molds mainly large amount of manual labor into the mold to rely on imports. Therefore, the middle and low mold the international market potential is huge. As long as the quality of Chinese-made molds to have improved delivery can guarantee that mold export prospects are very optimistic. In addition, the international market for plastic mold frame and mold is also a great demand for standard parts. At present, China is only a small amount of plastic mold frame export.
    Experts believe that China's accession to the WTO, along with the integration of world economy, the tide of global manufacturing to accelerate the transfer of mainland China, is the general trend, China will gradually develop into a world-class manufacturing base. Experts predicted that have obvious advantages, especially in Guangdong Pearl River Delta region will be developed within a decade, become the world's mold production centers. At the same time, because in recent years, China's annual cost of almost one billion U.S. dollars of imports of mold, including precision, large-scale, complex, long-life mold the majority, to reduce imports from the perspective of such high-grade die in the market share will gradually increase the proportion of .
    Mold the future development trend of the market will present Ten
    First, the increasingly large-scale mold. This is because the mold forming part of an increasingly large and high productivity demands of development, "a multi-cavity mold," caused by.
    Second, the precision of mold growing. 10 years ago, precision mold precision is generally 5 microns, and now has reached 2 to 3 microns, and soon one micron precision mold will be available. This requires super-finishing.
    3 is a multifunctional composite mold will develop further. In addition to the new multi-functional composite die stamping forming parts, but also responsible for layers, tapping, riveting, and assembly tasks such as locking, performance requirements for steel are increasingly high.
    4 is a hot runner mold in the plastic mold proportion increased gradually. As a result of the mold hot runner technology can improve productivity and quality of the workpiece, and can produce significant savings of raw materials, so the application of hot runner technology, has developed very rapidly in a foreign country, and many plastic mold factory produced more than half of the plastic mold using heat Road technology, some manufacturers for more than 80% utilization rate, the effect is quite obvious. Hot runner molds in China have also been produced, and some usage rose to 20% ~ 30%.
    5 along with the plastic molding process of continuous improvement and development of mold and adapt to the high-pressure gas-assisted injection molding and other processes will follow the development of mold. Such molds require a good rigidity, high pressure, especially in precision mold cavity to be hardening, gate seal is good, mold temperature control accuracy, so die steel very strict performance requirements.
    6 is the standard applications will be increasingly widespread. Mold and mold standard parts standardization applications will greatly affect the mold manufacturing cycle, and also improve quality and reduce mold mold manufacturing costs. Therefore, the application of mold standard parts in the "Tenth Five-Year" period will be given a greater development.
    7 is the prospect of rapid economic mold very broad. Now many varieties of small batch production era, the 21st century, this mode of production the proportion of total industrial production will reach 75%. As a result, on the one hand is the product life cycle shortened, on the other hand pattern frequent changes require mold production cycle shorter the better. Therefore, rapid economic development of mold will be increasingly attracted attention.
    8, with the vehicles and electrical products such as the development of the lightweight, die-casting mold will continue to increase the ratio, while die-casting mold and complexity of life will also be raised higher and higher requirements.
    9 is a plastic on behalf of the steel to plastic to further accelerate the process of generation of wood, plastic mold of the ratio will continue to grow. At the same time, due to the complexity of the mechanical parts and precision continues to improve, the demands of the plastic mold growing.
    10 is a mold technical content will continue to increase in the proportion of high-grade mold will continue to increase, this is the result of product structure adjustment mold market trends change.
