China's mold industry has changed dramatically in the 1990 s, has now become the world's mold production base. In most areas, mold has occupied a large share of China. However, in many high-end field, especially in auto mould, precision mold, mold, efficient function is still a large number of imported from abroad, only a few domestic enterprises in precision mold manufacturing.

In 2010 China's mold industry rapid growth of income in 2003 from 2003 yuan to 140 billion yuan, 10 times as much as eight years growth, the average annual growth rate of over 28%. Financial crisis just the industry growth is slowing to 12.5%, still far higher than that of GDP growth, the very strong momentum of development of mould industry in our country.

"Mould industry in China has entered a rapid development period, which greatly promote the development of steel consumption, application and technology." International mold association secretary general luo hui said, China's steel consumption in 2012 reached 117 billion yuan, up 20% from a year earlier, for five consecutive years in our country to become the largest country in the global steel consumption, accounting for 21% of global consumption, at the same time the domestic steel production is only 63.5 billion yuan, although already is the world's steel production country, but the gap between supply and demand of 53.5 billion yuan, import dependency is as high as 46%, and high-grade mold and export mold material for almost all rely on imports.

From mould industry as a whole, China's overall level of mould is still cheap mould is given priority to, especially due to the lack of effective state of mould industry industry admittance threshold, so that in many so-called mould developed areas, is also the low-end, mould manufactured in flooding the market.

The domestic hardware industry mold industry development trend is mainly mold products toward larger, more sophisticated, more complex and more rapid economic development. After a five-year effort, make the mould level in our country in Asia by 2015 advanced ranks, after seven years of effort, full beyond the United States in 2019 Japan, reached the international leading level, make our country not only mould producer, and into the mould manufacturing world powers.
