Over the past 10 years, China's mold industry has maintained a rapid development trend, 2002-2010 industry output growth remained at more than 19%. In 2011, China's mold manufacturing industry increased production capacity, the industry's sales revenue and sales revenue has increased substantially over the previous year.

At present, China's mold industry has obvious regional characteristics, the development of the southeast coastal areas is faster than the central and western regions, and the development of the south is faster than that of the north. Mold production of the most concentrated areas in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta region, accounting for more than 2/3 of the national mold output value. Plastic mold and mold the entire industry geographical distribution is similar, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong plastic mold is located in the forefront of the country, its output value in the national mold output value of the proportion of 70%.

The mold industry in Zhejiang province mainly concentrated in Ningbo city and Taizhou City, a total of more than 4 thousand mold production factory in the two areas, including professional mold manufacturing enterprises more than 2 thousand, employing about 100000 people, die output value of about 20000000000 yuan. Among them, Ningbo, Ninghai, Yuyao, Cixi and Yinzhou, the main production of plastic mold, Beilun die casting mold; Xiangshan and Zhoushan to casting and stamping mold based.

However, the total amount of China's mold production has been ranked third in the world, the industry overall level of some excellent enterprises manufacturers, but the current domestic mold industry is uneven, a large gap between the manufacturers of technological conditions. A considerable part of private enterprises or self-employed, limited by many factors, capital, technology, information exchange site, part of the manufacturer is to rely on the traditional manual manufacturing equipment and complete, only the production of some medium and low-grade mold, it is difficult to introduce advanced molding technology and molding equipment advanced. This has resulted in the middle and low mold Market competition.

Mold enterprises should be through cooperation, integration, etc., the single fight alone, vicious competition for win-win cooperation, industry self-regulation to maintain a fair and healthy competition in the mold market.
