The development forecast and prospect of my country's mold industry in 2014 are as follows

(1) The public service platform and enterprise informatization construction in the mold agglomeration area will be further developed. Because the production of model companies has a great driving and promoting effect on economic development, and the development of mold agglomeration areas has a very good role in promoting the development of molds, governments at all levels and relevant departments have given strong support to the development of mold agglomeration areas. Various mold public service platforms serving the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises are also strongly supported because of their positive role in promoting the development of the industry. The informatization construction of mold enterprises is the premise and key to the integration of industrialization and industrialization, and the government, industry associations and enterprises attach great importance to it. They are expected to be further developed in 2014, and the effect will be more pronounced.

(2) The extension of the industrial chain and the further development of the production service industry. As the cost of mold production continues to increase and the profit margin continues to decline, it is expected that the trend of extending the industrial chain up and down with mold as the core will further develop, and the industrial chain will extend longer and longer. At the same time, the production service industry will also further develop.

(3) Mould exports will continue to grow rapidly. There are many unfavorable and uncertain factors affecting the development of my country's foreign trade.

In 2014, it is expected that the export growth rate will continue to slow down. Of course, this will also affect the development of foreign trade of molds. However, the comparative advantage of my country's molds in the international market is still relatively obvious. Under the guidance of the "export-driven" strategy of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" , Sand table model company predicts that although the growth rate of mold exports will slow down in 2014, it will still grow at a relatively high speed, and the foreign trade surplus will further expand.

(4) The production experts of the model company pointed out that although the development and growth rate of the mold industry may continue to slow down, the domestic mold market will still be prosperous in production and demand. In 2013, the investment in fixed assets in the mold industry continued to increase, which guaranteed the increase in production capacity and level in 2014. The development of the major user industries of molds in 2014 may not be as high as in the past. However, due to the increasing number of molds required for new product development, the overall demand will still be strong. For example, the largest user of molds, the automobile industry, although the growth rate has fallen sharply compared with the past, consumption has returned to rationality, and the pace of new model development has not slowed down. Therefore, the demand for molds is still strong. The development of strategic emerging industries, energy conservation and emission reduction, and engineering plastics will put forward higher and higher requirements for molds. Many key construction projects and key projects in many countries require a large number of molds. Therefore, the market demand will continue to grow.

(5) The effect of structural adjustment in the mold industry will be further manifested, and the level of molds will continue to improve. In the "Twelfth Five-Year" Development Plan for the Mould Industry, structural adjustment is the main direction of attack. Therefore, under the guidance of planning, the industrial structure, product structure and technical structure of the mold industry will be further rationalized. The medium and high-end molds mainly represented by large-scale precision, high-efficiency and high-performance molds will be further developed and the level will be further improved.
