China's mold industry may experience an inflection point in 2009

According to some experts, 'In 2009, the development of China's mold industry will encounter an inflection point. The momentum of rapid development in the past few years will no longer appear, and it is highly probable that the negative growth phenomenon of the industry will not be seen by the mold industry. '

Some people think that such an analysis is too alarmist, but in fact, think about it. Nowadays, most manufacturers in the manufacturing industry have already felt the change of orders. The original goal of high-speed growth has become unreachable and can maintain sales in 2007. Performance has been difficult. From the perspective of the global environment, some international people even said that '2009 will be the year of the global economic earthquake', because in the history of the world economy, the three major crises of the financial crisis, the energy crisis and the food crisis collided with each other. once. A subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has slowed its economic growth, the dollar has depreciated, and industry has begun to decline. What about the collision of the three major crises? Just a few days ago, the emergence of the US Lehman bankruptcy crisis was for the United States and the global economy. It is no different from the snow. For those countries in the world where the economy has been integrated, who can guarantee that they will survive?

Although the above directly reflects the global economic downturn, it is bound to affect the manufacturing industry. The rise in the prices of various raw materials, the reduction of investment and orders by the external economy, all of which will be a dilemma faced by manufacturing suppliers. For foreign manufacturing companies that have been developing for decades or even hundreds of years, they have already experienced such a thing. In the face of the crisis, both technically and financially, they should be prepared, but for the Chinese manufacturing industry that started shortly, Especially for mold manufacturers, it may not be that simple.

It is not too early for China's mold manufacturing to start as an industry, but after more than 20 years of rapid development, it has now begun to take shape, and some competitive mold manufacturing companies have emerged, but it is undeniable that for the entire Chinese mold In terms of manufacturing, such enterprises are few and far between, and are not enough to save the market. The situation of the entire Chinese mold industry is not optimistic. Mr. Liu Depu, vice president and secretary general of Shanghai Mould Industry Association, pointed out in his article "The Status and Development of China's Mould Industry" that there are nine reasons for the backwardness of China's molds: (1) The total supply is in short supply, lacking medium and high-grade molds. (2) The organizational structure, product structure, technical structure and import and export structure of the enterprise are unreasonable. (3) The level of mold products is lower than the international level, and the production cycle is higher than the international level. (4) The development capability is poor and the economic efficiency is not good. (5) The state's policy support for the mold industry is insufficient. (6) There is a serious shortage of talents, too little investment in scientific research and development and technological research. (7) The level of process equipment is not high, the matching is not good, and the utilization rate is low. (8) Specialization, standardization, low degree of commercialization, and poor collaboration ability. (9) The related technologies of mold materials and molds are backward. In this regard, most people in the industry still agree, but finding the problem is not the key, the key is to find a solution to the problem. It is the best policy to plan ahead.

Facing the severe economic situation and serious problems in the development of the industry. The State Council has also clearly stated that to give full play to the overall advantages and comprehensive competitiveness, it is necessary to strengthen overall coordination, improve cooperation mechanisms, and work creatively. Mr. Liu Depu believes that in the face of the upcoming 'economic winter', it is necessary for the manufacturing enterprises to prepare for the winter 'cotton jacket' and 'food'. 'Cotton' is 'innovation' and 'food' is 'funds'. In this cold winter, there will be a group of enterprises that are 'frozen' and even 'frozenly dead'. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and those that do not adapt to the market economy or lack of competitiveness will be eliminated. Enhance the resistance of some enterprises, strengthen immunity, promote innovation, achieve new integration, and new structure, which may prompt our industry to develop to a new height and achieve innovation that is difficult to achieve. That is, the phenomenon unique to China: 'How difficult is it to be a prosperous state'. To tide over the difficulties, it is still necessary to escort strategies and measures.

The arrival of the turning point seems to be a foregone conclusion. It is only a matter of time. As a result, it is important that the company's own repair and improvement is still important. However, if we can make good use of the surrounding resources and make rational use of external forces, the ability to withstand risks must be large. increase. Please believe that things are always relative, and the most difficult period is often the beginning of the next round of rapid development.
