　　Mold is the basic technological equipment of industrial production. It is called "the mother of industry". 75% of the roughly processed industrial parts, 50% of the precision parts are molded, most of the plastic products are molded. As the basic industry of the national economy, mold involves machinery, automobile, light industry, electronics, chemical industry, metallurgy, building materials and other industries, the scope of application is very wide. According to Luo Baihui, standing secretary-general of the International Association of Mold and Hardware Plastic Industry Suppliers, the mould industry is an important area of high-tech industrialization. In recent years, the mould industry in China has developed rapidly, and the mould industry has moved from a subsidiary industry which used to rely on imports to an independent new industry. The world mold production center is also shifting to China. China has become a big country in mold production and consumption. In the new investment of mold enterprises, the investment of processing equipment accounts for 80%. According to statistics, China's total mold sales in 2010 reached about 112 billion yuan, an increase of 14% over the previous year, and the mold equipment market in the country has exceeded 4 billion yuan, and annual growth rate of about 20%. This shows that China's mold industry in the post-crisis period has achieved a better recovery of growth, the growth rate has re-entered the double-digit.At present, China's total mold production has ranked in the forefront of the world and there are many mold enterprises. According to the data of 2008 China's industrial census, there are about 30,000 mold production enterprises (factories, points) and nearly 1 million employees in China. Among them, there are more than 2,800 mold manufacturing enterprises with a main income of more than 5 million yuan and 400 employees in China. More than a million people. However, the level of mold design and manufacture is lagging behind Germany and the United States on the whole. Specifically, the molds with low technology content are in excess of demand, while the medium and high-grade molds with high technology content are far from meeting the needs of national economic development, such as precision and complex stamping molds and plastic molds, car panel molds. Electronic components and other electronic products mold and other high-end mold still rely heavily on imports. Mr. Liu Depu, vice chairman and secretary-general of Shanghai Mould Industry Association, also pointed out nine reasons for the backwardness of China's mould industry in his article "Current Situation and Development of China's mould industry".
