It is understood, there are now three thousand mold manufacturing enterprises, employing about 100 million people in 2007 with annual sales of 87.0 billion, exports 1.4 billion, the largest export provinces and cities in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shanghai.
    Die & Mold Industry since 2000 at an annual rate of 20% is growing, "Eleventh Five-Year" period, sell very well, yield, quality and level to further improve, particularly in the automotive manufacturing industry and IT manufacturing industry, boosting the die-end increase, sophisticated mold manufacturing equipment for mold technology level has provided a guarantee. China Die & Mold Industry Association executive vice president and secretary general, said Cao Yanan, China's mold industry is experiencing the "golden stage of development," the period ahead will continue to maintain sustained and rapid growth.
    In recent years, mold the industry to speed up product structure adjustment, to large, sophisticated, complex, long-life die as represented by high-tech mold growth rate higher than the overall industry growth rate, accounting for about 35% of the total die. Mold growth rate of exports in 2007 reached 35.73%, a further decline in trade deficit, import and export mold structure more reasonable, domestic alternative to imported mold mold has become a climate.
    From the industry structure, the rapid development of private enterprises, state-owned enterprises vitality, market-oriented manufacturer of professional mold number and capacity increased rapidly to adapt to the characteristics of die mold industry produced concentration of the production park have been developed, less developed central and western regions such as mold industry greater progress.
    Some die Enterprise multi-position progressive die precision has reached 2 microns, the life washed up to 300 million or more times, individual enterprises multi-position progressive die has been able to 2500 times / minute using high-speed punching, precision up to 1 microns. Has been able to produce 43-inch large-screen color TV, 65-inch rear projection TV Molded dies, 10 kilograms of high-capacity washing machine complete set of plastic molds and automobile bumper, the overall instrument panel and other largeplastic mold.
    Precision plastic mold, has been able to produce camera, cell phone plastic mold, multi-cavity mold, as well as small-modulus gear accuracy of 5 microns cavity plastic mold, etc. 7800. Sophisticated large-scale die-casting mold is capable of producing the escalator as a whole pedal die-casting mold, car rear axle gear boxes and automotive engine die-casting mold casting shell mold and so on.
