At present, the hardware industry for at least 70% of them are private enterprises, is China's hardware industry the main force of development. Our country gradually become the world's superpower metal processing and export powerhouse, and has become one of the countries of world metals production, has a vast potential market and consumption.
Cutting tool market demand is growing around the world. Including Europe, North America countries stable growth, especially in eastern Europe, Asian markets recovered slightly, market potential is very big, Latin American countries market growth obviously, especially in Mexico. To this, in the past year, cutting tool market demand growth slowly, mainly because of increased tool life, then there is user request, for the whole manufacturing process instead of many machine tools and cutting tools. Increased, and the application of multifunction tool, instead of a lot of previous single-function simple tool.
Future users will be more emphasis on factories on the research and development of cutting tool, is not only in the field of materials and surface coating technology, but also in terms of cutting tool product and its production process, pay attention to the production practice, will help tool factory increase market competitiveness in the field of which they are familiar with.
In terms of technical updates, gradually replace high speed steel cutting tools, carbide cutting tools in particular circular knives. Coated tools application is becoming more common in Europe, increasing the market share with new pattern cutting tool in high speed machining. Manufacturer of dynamic. From cutting tools manufacturers cooperation way, market will appear a lot of big companies in the field of high-tech combination.
The current domestic market is a big demand for high-grade mold, according to the forecast, "twelfth five-year" period, mold market overall trend steadily upward, but it requires the domestic mold must in such aspects as quality, delivery time, meet the needs of users. Moreover, household appliances, plastic products, automobile industry demand for mold. International markets, in recent years, the industry developed countries Labour cost increases, its shift towards developing countries, especially in southeast Asian countries. Its domestic production, high precision mould is given priority to, artificial mould rely on imports to solve labor inputs.
Therefore, cheap mould international market potential is very huge. As long as the quality of homemade mould can be improved, delivery guarantee, mold export prospects are very optimistic. In addition, mold standard parts of the international market demand is very big also. At present, only a small amount of export in our country.
In the new wave of world economic integration, global manufacturing to accelerate the shift towards the Chinese mainland has been the trend of The Times, China will gradually develop into a world-class manufacturing base. Obvious advantages especially in pearl river delta region in guangdong, mold production center in the world within ten years development. At the same time, because our country in recent years, with nearly $1 billion a year to import moulds, including precision, large, complex, long-life mold majority, so from the perspective of import less, such mould, hardware tools also will gradually increase in market share ratio. Future, mould and hardware tools industry in China will be among the top in the world.
