China's Mold Industry's "Twelfth Five-year Plan" Development Strategy and Policy Suggestions

Combining the information in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" development plan of the mold industry in the "China Tooling Information" from China Association for Modeling, Luo Baihui pointed out that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China properly responded to major changes in domestic and international development environment and accelerated the realization of comprehensive construction. The crucial period of the well-to-do society goal is also a critical period for the healthy development of the mold manufacturing industry in China. Although there are many uncertain factors at home and abroad, China’s economic development is still in a period of rapid growth, and the comparative advantages of China’s molds in the international mold market still exist. The domestic mold market is expected to continue to look good.

1, various types of mold development and market conditions

Plastic molds are expected to develop rapidly. Under the inevitable trend of “plastic steel substitute” and “plastic substitute wood”, China's engineering plastic products industry is expected to maintain an average annual growth rate of 15% in the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. It can be imagined that the plastic mold market, which has the highest share of the total molds and supports the plastics industry, will also develop at a relatively high growth rate during the 12th Five-Year Plan period.

As the automotive industry with the largest amount of molds, it is expected that during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, it will grow at an average annual growth rate of about 10%. It is expected that the average annual growth rate of automotive molds during the 12th Five-Year Plan period will not be lower than 10%. %, the average annual growth rate of rubber molds, including automotive tire molds, will reach over 10%.

The electronic and information industry is also a large user of the mold. The “12th Five-Year Plan” is expected to have an average annual growth rate of around 20%.

In addition, rail transit, aerospace, new energy, medical equipment, building materials and other industries will also bring huge market for molds.

In the international market, due to the continuous increase in labor costs in industrialized countries, they are forced to transfer molds to developing countries, especially developing countries like China, which have a relatively good technological foundation, in order to reduce production costs. The trend of multinational companies coming to China to purchase molds is still in development, and the development of international emerging markets is also promising.

2. Development strategy

Highlighting the adjustment structure and transforming development methods, innovating and nurturing to drive industrial transformation and technology upgrading, focusing on promoting the integration of informatization and industrialization, effectively improving the quality and efficiency of development, and striving to achieve development speed and quality improvement, structural optimization, and efficiency improvement. coordination.

Vigorously promote product structure adjustment. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the mold industry should further develop medium-to-high-grade mold products with high technological added value, continuously increase their proportion in the total mold, and encourage the development of high-quality mold standard parts and high-performance mold materials to increase the national Economic pillar industries, national key projects, key projects and strategic emerging industries supporting services.

Actively promote enterprises to "big and strong" and "small and specialized" direction. Strongly support the development of key key enterprises, especially large-scale key enterprises, improve their level and industry leading capabilities; guide and nurture a large number of SMEs to develop in a “special, refined, and special” direction; encourage enterprises to conduct capital operations and specialization Integrate, optimize and reorganize, develop various forms of industrial alliances, and promote the development of the industry; encourage qualified companies to develop the industrial chain with mold as the core and expand the scope of services.

Efforts to open up the market. Develop international and domestic markets in various fields, actively increase the proportion of export of mold products, further increase the grade and added value of export products, increase the level of industry through the increase of exports, encourage the development of alternative imported products, and pay due attention to the development of technical service exports. . Through the development of new markets, new growth will be achieved.

Actively promote the information, digitalization, refinement, automation and standardization of mold production; strengthen the combination of production, education, research, and use, and promote the improvement of research and innovation capabilities.

Vigorously develop modern manufacturing services (productive services). Support the construction of mold industry clusters (pay attention to the rational layout in coordination with product manufacturing), promote the construction of service platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises, and actively and steadily extend and develop the upstream and downstream industrial chains with mold manufacturing as the core, gradually form complementary advantages and coordinate development. Industry pattern.

Change the mode of development as soon as possible. In the past, the mold industry must rely heavily on the extensive development model of scale expansion and volume increase, and gradually shift to a lean development model that mainly relies on scientific and technological progress and improvement of product quality and level; vigorously promote innovation-driven development methods and actively nurture Develop new growth points. Moreover, mold enterprises must change from simple production to production and service.

Focusing on key development priorities and major tasks, we will implement "project-driven" around key service targets. We must integrate the mold project into its supporting product projects to better fight for the support of the national and local governments at all levels. At the same time, mold manufacturing companies should also propose appropriate projects that are suitable for the company to drive development.

Accelerate the construction of training bases for skilled personnel. By actively promoting the construction of a talent training base, establishing a modern continuing vocational education system that is market-oriented and adapting to the requirements of the industrial structure, we will vigorously cultivate applied and skilled talents.

3, policy recommendations

In order to promote the effective operation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and long-term healthy and rapid development of China's mold industry, Luo Baihui said that the following policies deserve the attention and solution of the government.

1) Strongly call for the introduction of new fiscal and taxation preferential policies that will continue to support the development of molds as soon as possible so that the role of policy guidance can be sustained to speed up the adjustment of industrial structure, change the mode of development and the pace of scientific and technological progress.

2) Many molds are high-tech products, with high technological content and added value, low energy consumption of production molds, and almost no pollution. The average unit price of mold exports is about 10,000 USD/ton, and more export molds are conducive to improving China’s foreign trade products. Structure, it is recommended to increase the export tax rebate rate for the major mold products to encourage investment.

3) It is recommended that relevant departments of the State strengthen the support for projects jointly developed by mold companies and host product companies, especially for projects with scientific and technological progress and energy-saving emission reduction effects, and to give substantive consideration to mold projects that have been included in basic special projects. stand by.
