Mold machine tools need to improve the level of technology

China’s machine tool consumption has been ranked first in the world for 12 consecutive years, and it has become the most active machine tool market in the world. Mold and machine tools, as one of its important branches, are also expanding its share. However, China's mold machine tool industry is large but not strong, low-end products can not meet the market's demand, and high-end product technology is not enough.

The reason why foreign machine tools are in charge of high-end mold manufacturing equipment is, of course, inseparable with the quality of their products, and also related to their strategies for the Chinese mold market. As a result of changes in international machine tool marketing strategies, high-tech-driven low-price mid-range machine tool products assembled with high-tech tools have rapidly occupied the Chinese machine tool market, posing serious challenges to Chinese domestic machine tool companies. Because the tooling used in domestic molds has higher processing technology requirements than parts processing, this has brought great difficulties to the R&D and design of domestic machine tool companies.

Under such circumstances, it is imperative to promote the industry to become stronger and stronger. The domestic mold machine tool industry gradually turned its attention from the original low-end market to the high-end mold market. Although the high-end die machine tools will still have a lot of imports in a short period of time, the market share of the domestic die machine tools is constantly increasing. At present, China's machine tool industry is facing transformational pressure. It is only possible to open up mid-to-high-end markets and increase the research, development, and production of middle-to-high-end CNC machine tools and their functional components to gain an advantage in future competition.

Although due to technical talents and other factors, they are relatively concentrated in the middle and low-end areas. Therefore, the high-end market for domestic mold and die enterprises is undoubtedly enormous. The market demand for high-end products in the machine tool industry has not only declined because of the macroeconomic slowdown, but has even increased. It is mainly used to invest in high-end, technologically advanced products. This conforms to the industry's future development trends and is of great significance to China's machine tools.

Due to the accumulation of talents and technology accumulation in high-end machine tools in China, the situation of large-scale imports of foreign high-end machine tools will not change, and China's dependence on high-end mold machine tools will continue to depend on imports in the short term. However, in the face of the promising market in the world mold market, especially the high-end market, China's machine tool industry urgently needs to develop the relevant mold machine tool products and seize the market for the current development status of the mold industry.
