Stamping die industry development status and market analysis

In recent years, the number of metal stamping manufacturing enterprises in China has been increasing, and the production capacity has also increased, but the industry is mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, equipment and research and development investment is limited, the main production technology requirements are low and low-end stamping products, resulting in relatively saturated supply in the low-end market, the competition is more fierce, and the domestic self-sufficiency rate in the high-end market is still low, only about 60%. Some of the leading domestic metal stamping production enterprises, through the introduction of foreign advanced production equipment and technology, strengthen technology research and development and production process innovation, the product manufacturing to a new height.

According to the "2017-2022 China precision metal processing industry market supply and demand situation and development prospects Analysis Report" released by the New Thought industry Research Center, the "Twelfth Five-Year" period of the national stamping industry has 25,000 production enterprises, 2 million employees, annual production of 28 million tons of stamping parts, total sales reached 400 billion yuan. Taking the automotive industry as an example, at present, domestic enterprises have achieved the design and manufacturing of C-class automotive molds, large continuous stamping molds have made substantial breakthroughs, successfully developed a large continuous stamping mold up to 6m, and competed with international manufacturers in all aspects of high-end automotive mold product segments, promoting the rapid development of the import substitution market. The pace of stamping die localization has been further accelerated. Chery, Great Wall, Brilliance and other independent brand automobile enterprises have successively shifted the vehicle vehicle molds required for automobile development from imports to domestic procurement, while Volkswagen, GM and other joint venture automobile enterprises have also begun to shift high-end automobile molds to domestic procurement. The localization of high-end automotive molds has further expanded the market demand for domestic automotive stamping products.

The obstacles to entering the precision metal stamping industry are:

1. Technical barriers

Precision metal stamping industry is a collection of metal manufacturing, new material application, stamping die design and manufacturing, information technology and other aspects of the technology complex industry. Facing the downstream industries are mainly automotive, electronic communications and other industries, the processing accuracy of metal stamping parts and product quality requirements are higher, so as to put forward strict requirements for the technical ability of product research and development and manufacturing process, so that the existing enterprises in the industry have a strong technical level, forming a technical barrier to the latter.

2. Market barriers

Metal stamping parts are part of a complete product, so the metal stamping industry companies require a certain amount of industry experience in the industry where their customers are. In particular, the company's main service object is the manufacturing industry, across the electronics, automotive, communications and other industries, customers will pay attention to the company's previous industry success cases, whether it has the ability to independently develop molds, industry experience barriers are high. At the same time, after long-term and good service, the first entrants can establish a good customer base and accumulate a wealth of successful cases in their competitive fields, so as to establish a good market brand image and have a stable and loyal customer base, while the new entrants are difficult to cultivate a stable customer base in the short term.

3. Financial barriers

High-quality metal stamping parts need advanced equipment and high-quality stamping molds to cooperate with each other, which requires hardware stamping companies to introduce expensive hardware mold design software, mold processing equipment and advanced stamping equipment. And it is necessary to have the process technology innovation ability and new product research and development ability to upgrade and update simultaneously with customer products, so large-scale specialized metal stamping parts production enterprises must have enough funds to invest in equipment and research and development, which forms a financial barrier for new entrants. Dongguan Changdong Mold Co., Ltd. specializes in hardware mold design and manufacturing, independent development and design of large stamping molds within 4 meters.

Industry analysts believe that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the stamping industry has made a series of progress in the selection of new materials, the update of stamping equipment and stamping die, the improvement of stamping process and software development and application. Although the information and digital construction of the stamping industry has not started for a long time, it has significantly improved production efficiency and product quality, and obtained considerable economic and social benefits. It is expected that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, with the steady increase of China's gross national product and industrial added value, the market capacity of the precision metal stamping industry will be further expanded.
