In recent years, with the introduction of new models, the replacement of old models and the continuous expansion of domestic and foreign vehicle and parts production scale, the demand of automotive hardware mold products is also increasing. Around obtaining new supply channels, the world's hardware mold manufacturers with advanced technology and the National Hardware mold manufacturers with cost competitiveness are strengthening their respective business fields and speeding up the construction of the hardware mold production system. An average of 1500 hardware parts are needed to manufacture an ordinary car. With China's increasing automobile production year by year, foreign capital has entered China to set up factories one after another. In order to meet the hot domestic demand and export demand at the same time, the demand for automobile hardware parts is bound to become a good opportunity for China's hardware mold industry to upgrade.
Due to the rapid development of domestic hardware mold and obvious progress in technology, coupled with the low price of domestic hardware mold, in recent years, many hardware molds of some domestic joint venture brand cars have been purchased at home instead of imported from abroad. At the same time, with the gradual enhancement of the international competitiveness of China's domestic automotive hardware mold industry, some foreign brand cars also began to purchase more and more hardware molds from China. Some vehicle manufacturers in Germany and the United States have incorporated the products of many Chinese hardware mold factories into their global procurement chain. This trend has not only become clear, but also with the production technology optimization of local enterprises, the advantages of domestic hardware mold industry in the international market will be further highlighted. Luo Baihui, head of the International Association of mold, hardware and plastic industry suppliers, pointed out that domestic mold manufacturers are optimistic about the market of automotive hardware mold products, but the imbalance in the development of domestic hardware mold industry also deserves attention. Although China's automobile production is amazing, many of them come from the capital investment and large-scale production of foreign famous automobile brands. At the same time, as an important part of mastering the lifeline of the industry, the development progress of hardware mold is out of balance. For example, Guangdong in South China, which is an important automobile town in the traditional sense, started later than Shanghai in East China and Changchun in North China. Especially for the metal molds with the highest added value, which are mainly used for manufacturing automobile panels, the development of mold Market in South China is almost blank.
China's automobile hardware mold industry still needs to improve its technology, but this will not change the pattern that the global automobile industry generally regards China as the preferred automobile production base. Geert van der Linden, international customer manager of uddholm tool AB, made it clear that China and the Czech Republic are the most popular automobile production bases in the world at present, and he is quite optimistic about the market prospect of China.
With the rapid development of automobile industry, China's automobile die market has shown a strong growth momentum. Speeding up the localization of automobile hardware die is the primary task of automobile parts industry. Without the low cost of domestic mold, there will be no rapid development of domestic brand cars, which has been recognized by everyone, but low cost does not mean low level. In the low-cost development of multi varieties at the same time, domestic brand car to rapid development and improve quality, must be inseparable from the improvement of domestic hardware mold level. Domestic cars will not only continue to develop in the medium and low-end market, but also will continue to increase their market share in the medium and high-end market. This trend is also very obvious. This will inevitably put forward higher and higher requirements for automotive hardware mold products, which is also the inevitable trend of automotive stamping mold market. Hardware mold enterprises should fully understand this trend, and rely on technological progress to maintain low cost, and constantly improve the quality of mold.
