China's mold industry has formed certain advantages, and the advantages of industry clustering development are obvious. At the same time, its characteristics are relatively prominent, and the uneven regional development has made the development of China's mold industry faster in the south than in the north.

According to relevant data, in recent years, the agglomeration development of China's mold industry has become a new characteristic of industry development, forming automobile mold industry cluster production bases represented by Wuhu and Botou; Precision mold industry cluster production bases represented by Wuxi and Kunshan; And large-scale precision mold industry cluster production bases represented by Dongguan, Shenzhen, Huangyan, and Ningbo.

Analysis of the advantages and characteristics of the development of China's mold industry

At present, the development of China's mold manufacturing industry has formed certain advantages, and its industry cluster development has obvious advantages. Compared with decentralized production, cluster production has many advantages such as convenient cooperation, cost reduction, market opening, and reduced environmental pollution area. The clustering of molds and the close geographical location of enterprises are conducive to the formation of a highly refined and closely coordinated professional division of labor and cooperation system, which compensates for the diseconomies of scale in small and medium-sized enterprises with the advantages of social division of labor and effectively reduces production and transaction costs; Industrial clusters enable various enterprises to fully utilize their location, resources, material and technological foundations, division of labor systems, production and sales networks, etc., with one place, one product, clustering and rolling development, providing conditions for the formation of professional markets in the region; Cluster formation of regional economies of scale often allows enterprises to win in terms of price and quality, deliver on time, and increase bargaining chips in negotiations, which is conducive to expanding the international market. With the development of technology and changes in demand, the process is becoming increasingly specialized. Mold clustering provides great survival opportunities for specialized manufacturers and also enables them to achieve scale production. The two form a virtuous cycle, continuously improving the overall production efficiency of enterprise clusters.

The development of China's mold manufacturing industry has its own characteristics. The regional development is unbalanced. For a long time, the development of China's mold industry has been unbalanced in terms of regional distribution. The development of the southeast coastal areas is faster than that of the central and western regions, and the development of the south is faster than that of the north. The most concentrated mold production areas are in the the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, whose mold output value accounts for more than two-thirds of the national output value; China's mold industry is expanding from the more developed Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions to the inland and northern regions. In terms of industrial layout, some new areas with concentrated mold production have emerged, including Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Changsha, Chengdu Chongqing, Wuhan, Anhui and other regions. Mold agglomeration development has become a new characteristic, and mold parks (cities, clusters, etc.) continue to emerge. With the need for industrial adjustment and transformation upgrading in various regions, more attention is being paid to the development of the mold industry. The trend of layout adjustment in China's mold industry has become clear, and the division of labor among various industrial clusters is becoming increasingly refined.

According to statistics from relevant departments, there are currently nearly 100 mold industry parks in China that have been built or have begun to take shape, and some mold industry parks are still under construction and planning. I believe that in the future, China will develop into a global center for mold manufacturing.
