In order to adapt to the situation, China's mold industry has accelerated the pace of institutional reform and mechanism transformation in recent years. The "three capital" and private enterprises have dominated the industry, and the equipment level and product level have been greatly improved, and management has made great progress. Many enterprises have applied CAD/CAM/CAE integrated technology, three-dimensional design technology, ERP and IM3 and other information management technology, as well as many new technologies such as high-speed machining, rapid prototyping, virtual simulation and network technology. Enterprises have been certified by various quality systems for more than one year.

2, the scale economic benefit, the cluster development is developing rapidly in the "small and special" specialization. In recent years, the scale effect has been paid more and more attention. In addition to strengthening the business and making economies of scale more effective, mold cluster production also shows its superiority. Therefore, all kinds of cluster production modes such as "mould city", "mold Park" and "mould production base" are developing rapidly throughout the country. At present, there are more than 40 enterprises in the country with an annual output of more than 100 million yuan, and more than 200 enterprises have more than 30 million yuan or so. There are nearly 50 kinds of mold towns (parks). The construction of these mould agglomeration production bases has played an active role in promoting the development of the mould industry in China.

3, pay attention to brand patents and enhance R & D, many enterprises begin to realize the importance of "brand" and "patent", and improve their capital input and capabilities continuously. For a long time, the mold has been in the position of "rear" and "passive", so there are few "brands" and "patents". With the development of the market economy, the enterprises have paid more and more attention to "brand" and "patent" in recent years. Some enterprises have realized the importance of innovative research and development, and the investment has been improved very quickly. According to the situation of China Die & Mould Industry Association, in recent years, the proportion of investment and sales revenue of many enterprises in R & D has reached 5%, and individual enterprises even reach 8% to 10%.

4, the high and new technology is very popular, the mold technology content of die and mould talents is increasing continuously, and more and more moulds of high and new technology products are used. With the development of high and new technology, more and more mould production enterprises have been identified as high and new technology enterprises by relevant government departments at all levels. According to the preliminary statistics of China's model association, there are 7 state-level high-tech enterprises in the mould industry, and nearly 100 high-tech enterprises at the provincial and municipal levels. The shortage of talents is becoming more and more prominent. Although the workforce of the mould industry in China has developed rapidly in recent years, it is estimated that it has reached nearly a million people, but it still cannot keep up with the demand for industry development. First, the total quantity is insufficient, the two is that the quality is not enough to meet the needs of the development of the industry. According to Luo Baihui survey, the national mold industry practitioners about the gap from 300 thousand to 500 thousand people, including engineering and technical personnel accounted for about 20%, the shortage of high-quality mold and is especially high level of enterprise management personnel and senior technical personnel and senior technical workers.

5, the trade deficit increased, although the export prospects of China's mold industry has entered the fast lane of development, but because of the precision life manufacture cycle and ability, compared with the international standard and advanced industrial countries there is a big gap, so it can not meet the development of our country's manufacturing demand. Especially in the precision, large, complex, long life die, still in short supply. Therefore, a large number of imports are still needed every year. The dependence on foreign capital has increased year by year. China's accession to the WTO has been over 6 years, and the foreign trade has developed rapidly. The dependence of our country's economy on foreign trade has risen from 30% to 70%. At the same time, in recent years, foreign investment has entered China's large scale. With the expansion and deepening of the policy of opening to the outside world, more and more foreign investment is being invested in China's mold industry, resulting in an increasing dependence on foreign capital. For example, Guangdong province is the largest province of China's mold, and its capacity accounts for about 40% of the country. In the province's mold production capacity, foreign enterprises have accounted for about 60%, and the joint venture accounts for about 10%. The export of the mold of the province accounts for about 50% of the country, of which the export of foreign capital and joint venture accounts for the majority of its exports. The great dependence on foreign investment and foreign trade will have a great impact on the security of the industry and the economic security of the whole country.
