The global demand for tooling is on the rise, with steady growth observed in European and North American markets, particularly in Eastern Europe. The Asian market has shown a slight improvement, while Latin America has experienced significant growth, especially in Mexico. This surge in demand can be attributed to several factors. In the past year, the slow growth in tool demand was mainly due to the extended lifespan of tools, which reduced the frequency of replacements. However, there has been a growing need for comprehensive manufacturing solutions, leading to the replacement of many traditional machine tools and single-function tools with multi-purpose alternatives.
Looking ahead, manufacturers are expected to place more emphasis on research and development within production plants. This includes advancements in materials, surface coating technologies, and the production processes of cutting tools. A stronger focus on practical applications will help tool companies enhance their competitiveness in the market.
Technological advancements are also shaping the industry. Carbide cutting tools are increasingly replacing high-speed steel tools, especially in circular cutting applications. The use of coated cutters is becoming more widespread, particularly in Europe, where the market for high-speed machining tools continues to expand.
In terms of collaboration, we’re seeing the emergence of more large companies in the high-tech tool market. Domestically, there's a strong demand for medium-to-high-grade molds, and during China’s "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the mold market is expected to grow steadily. To meet this demand, domestic mold producers must improve quality and delivery times.
Industries such as home appliances, automotive, and plastics have the highest demand for molds. On the international stage, rising labor costs in developed countries have led to the outsourcing of manufacturing to developing nations, especially in Southeast Asia. As a result, many high-precision and complex molds are still imported, creating an opportunity for Chinese mold manufacturers.
The international market for medium and low-end molds holds great potential. With improvements in quality and reliable delivery schedules, the outlook for mold exports looks very promising. Additionally, there is a growing demand for standard mold components globally, although China currently exports only a small amount.
As the world becomes more integrated, global manufacturing is shifting toward mainland China. Over time, China is expected to become a top-tier manufacturing hub. Guangdong, particularly the Pearl River Delta region, has clear advantages and is likely to become a major global mold production center within the next decade.
With annual imports of molds reaching nearly $1 billion, most of which are high-precision, large-scale, complex, and long-lasting molds, there is a strong push to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. As a result, the share of these high-grade molds and cutting tools in the domestic market is expected to grow significantly.
In the coming years, China’s mold and CNC tool industries are poised to join the ranks of the world’s best.
SSurface centrifugal pump is a type of centrifugal pump that is designed to work on the surface, meaning it is not submerged in the liquid being pumped. These pumps are used in a wide range of applications, including supplying drinking water, irrigation, drainage, and low-pressure liquid transfer.
