Mold is an important part of the equipment manufacturing industry, the industry associated with high, is one of the important guarantee for industrial upgrading and technological progress. It is estimated that the proportion of mold can be related industries is about 1: 100, ie, mold development 100 million yuan, 10 billion yuan to related industries.
Die widely used variety, classification lot. Classified according to the nature of the molding process, the mold can be divided into stamping dies, plastic molds, die casting and forging molds and other categories.
First, the auto industry before stamping die
Downstream in the mold industry, the automotive industry to use a large amount of mold in the United States, Germany, Japan and other developed countries, automobile manufacturing, automotive mold industry output value accounted for more than 40% of the mold industry output value, in our country there are about 1/3 mold products for the automotive industry and services. Generally produce an ordinary car needs 1,000 to more than 1,500 sets of stamping dies, accounting for about 40% of vehicle production required for all mold output.
Automotive stamping dies are important automobile production technology and equipment, the design and manufacture of automotive development cycle time of approximately two-thirds, it is one of the major constraints to change type of car. Automotive stamping die having a large size and complexity of the work profile, and high technical standards, technology-intensive products. Automotive stamping dies past commonly used single-step mode and the modulus of the composite structure design, and as technology advances and improve the level of equipment, it is possible to reduce costs and improve the multi-bit analog-productive, progressive die increasingly used in automotive stamping dies design and manufacture, to become the development direction of automotive stamping die manufacturing technology.
Second, the global automotive stamping market capacity
Since 2001, the world's mold industry has been in a steady upward trend, with an average growth rate of more than 5%, to 2015, the global mold industry market size will more than 100 billion US dollars. In the United States, Germany and Japan and other developed countries, die and automotive-related demand accounted for more than 40% of the total demand of the mold, whereby estimates, the global auto mold market has reached 50 billion US dollars. According to automotive stamping dies mold output value accounted for 40% of the car basis, the market size of the global automotive stamping dies at around $ 20 billion. Currently, North America, Europe, Japan, as the market demand for traditional automotive stamping dies, still occupy an important position in global demand, the next few years, its market demand growth will remain at a relatively stable level. Compared with the United States, Germany and Japan and other developed countries, China, India, Brazil and Russia and other emerging economies, the rapid development of the automobile industry, and associated demand for expanded demand for space-based global automotive stamping dies market and will gradually become the global automotive stamping mold growth in demand for the new engine.
Third, the market prospects for the global automotive stamping dies needs analysis
Development and downstream development of automobile industry automotive stamping die industry is closely related to the steady and rapid development of downstream automotive industry will greatly promote the development of automotive stamping die industry.
Steady and rapid development of the automotive industry for the development of automotive stamping die industry to create a good environment in the production of cars more than 90% of the parts it needs to rely on forming mold, an ordinary car manufacturing approximately 1,000 to 1,500 sets of stamping dies. A reflection of the overall situation in the country required for automotive die vehicle production to a certain extent on the country. After the 2008 financial crisis, the US, Germany and Japan and other traditional automobile production power a modest recovery in vehicle production, while China, India and Brazil and other emerging market countries, rapid growth in demand for cars. According to research firm IHS Automotive forecasts, 2013 to 2020, global light vehicle production growth rate will reach 3.6%, which will reach 5.7% growth rate in developing countries, developed countries, the growth rate will remain at around 1.2%, the downstream automotive industry steady and rapid development for the automotive stamping die industry development to create a good environment.
Fourth, industry trends
1, the low-end domestic market is relatively saturated automotive stamping die, to accelerate the pace of domestic high-end market
In recent years, the number of automotive stamping mold manufacturers increasing production capacity also will increase, but mostly small and medium enterprises, equipment and R & D investment in the industry is limited, the main production technology less demanding low-end products stamping dies, resulting in low-end automotive stamping die supply market is relatively saturated, competition is more intense, and the high-end market, the domestic self-sufficiency rate is still relatively low, only about 60%.
Some domestic leading automotive stamping die manufacturer, through the introduction of foreign advanced production equipment and technology, strengthen research and development and manufacturing process innovation mold products to a new height, to achieve C-class auto stamping die design and manufacturing, large progressive mold substantive breakthrough, successfully developed up to 6m large progressive die, stamping die in high-end automotive products market segments and all aspects of international manufacturers competition, promote the rapid development of import substitution market, to further accelerate the pace of domestic mold . Chery, Great Wall, Brilliance and other independent brand car companies would have needed to develop automotive vehicles die from imported to domestic sourcing, and Volkswagen, GM and other auto companies have begun joint high-end automotive stamping dies to domestic procurement. Localization of high-end automotive stamping dies to further expand the domestic market demand for automotive stamping dies.
2, the domestic automotive stamping die production specialization and commercialization to further improve
Due to historical reasons the development of China's automobile industry, domestic auto stamping die enterprises are dependent on car manufacturers to develop, to provide supporting mold as the top priority for the automotive OEMs, automotive stamping die enterprises generally lead to specialization is not strong, market-oriented, social low level of procurement. During the "Eleventh Five-Year", China's policy to encourage the automotive stamping die industry to specialization, commercialization development, and encourage the separation of major, mold production from subsidiary to independence, more and more enterprises to improve their affiliated undertake external mold proportion of orders or reconstituted as an independent mold enterprises. At present, the annual production of a mold die social procurement accounted for only about 45%, the future will further increase the mold and close to the foreign social procurement above the level of 70%.
3, automotive stamping die manufacturer extends downstream industry chain
With the rapid development of the automotive stamping die industry, the industry technology level faster, along with increased competition, a simple model has been not well designed and manufactured to meet the needs of market competition, some of the major companies in the industry began to die downstream of the core extend the industrial chain, build stamping production line, directly in the production of molds for the production of automotive stamping parts, such as the core to the mold transfer to the downstream industry chain advantage, one automotive stamping die manufacturers in the course of business and the automotive vehicle production manufacturers to establish a long-term stable cooperative relations, direct supply stamping products can better serve the automotive vehicle manufacturers; the second is used for the production of molds direct production of automotive components, can effectively reduce production costs, improve production efficiency; the third is the size obvious advantages, automotive stamping dies for the customized products, and automotive stampings can high-volume continuous production, improve production scale enterprises. For the above reasons, the scope of business within the automotive industry, mainly stamping die manufacturing enterprises showed a trend towards extending downstream industry chain, the initiative with the automobile manufacturers, to provide "integration" mold and goods and services.
4, progressive dies
Shape complex stampings, especially some of the traditional process requires multiple sub-sequence vice stamping die punching sized complex stampings, the increasing use of progressive die forming. Developed countries about 30% -40% of the automotive stamping progressive die has been used to produce, while the proportion of secondary progressive die stamping die of auto parts is only about 10%, progressive die will be the country focus on the development of the mold products one.
