In the mold of the whole industrial chain competition by en.wjb2b.com

China's rapid growth in the world's third-mold manufacturing industry, but in the industry as a whole chain of some of the weaknesses could lead to China Mould industry has been locked in the low-end.

After 20 years of catch up, China mould industry is in a critical point, the die business and the relationship between the customer model will play a decisive influence. Japanese companies are continually die and mould users form joint ventures to erode China Die enterprise market share.

By the end of 2005, known as a "confrontation between China and Japan - the battle manufacturing process," the documentary in Japan prompted a strong reaction, the film industry on the Japanese die in the "Made in China" in the course of the rise of the subject impact, as well as Japan Die practitioners to cope with the measures. The film industry in Japan die from the feedback information that the two Japanese counterparts contrast precision connectors and semiconductor manufacturing technology, the level generally believed that Japan has been lagging behind its Chinese counterpart.

A senior industry commentators have pointed out that: die manufacturing industry is the foundation of Sino-Japanese trade treatment die attitude, the two countries decided the future of the manufacturing sector. That being the case, this is related to the manufacturing sector is the foundation of the contest will be how to develop? "Made in China" the future will be affected?

China overtake Japan Die

2005 Tokyo, Japan Japan Ota is important to small and medium-sized enterprises gathered to die one. Now, OTA larger factories have relocated to China to take advantage of cheap local labor force much. By 2007, industry Hollow began to show signs of out, the region exceed 1 / 3 of cheap Chinese enterprises by the impact of labour, forced to choose, or simply go out of business production collapse. The closure of many factories now have become real estate development site.

Die industry decline of the Japanese phenomenon, it is precisely because Japan mold consumer companies have turned to China, the purchase of low prices caused by China Die. According to statistics, since 1998, reaching a peak of 1.87 trillion yen after Japan mold industry sales continued to decline, in 2006 the figure was only 410 billion yen, is the 1998 1 / 5 more. In addition, compared with the peak in 2006, when the number of Japanese die makers about 8.5% decrease employees by 30%, the total output value recession rate of 11%. Tokyo OTA mold enterprises the plight of Japanese die industry is a vivid depiction of the status quo.

And Japan formed a striking contrast to China's mould industry since 20 years ago began an unprecedented high-speed growth. Among them, from 1996 to 2002, the output value of China's manufacturing industries die an average annual rate of about 14%. In 2003, this figure reached an astonishing 25 per cent. Now, in accordance with the terms of output value in 2006, China Die sales of 720 billion yuan, has become the world's third largest mold manufacturers, behind the United States and Japan. In the eastern coastal areas, especially Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the die-intensive enterprises formed a large number of enterprise clusters. Most of these enterprises have imported high-grade mold for manufacturing machine tools, spacious plant and the staff of hard labor. And their Japanese counterparts, the China mold is not worried about not available factory orders, but orders too much fear.

Although mold industry is not the absolute value, but because of its product manufacturing system in the special position, mould industry has made a decision the overall level of manufacturing capacity. Die modern industries, especially the automotive, aerospace, electronics, electrical, instrumentation, equipment, weapons, daily necessities, and other essential technology equipment, industrial sector output these products are 60% to 90% of the parts and components are relied on mold Molding. Mould manufacturing technology directly restricts the development, product upgrading capability and competitiveness.

According to statistics, mold led the proportion of its related industries is about 1:100, that is, the development of 100 million yuan mold can develop the related industries 10 billion yuan. Based on this ratio, the 2006 China Die-driven industry output up to 7 trillion yuan over such a large capacity to promote the industry to die cornerstone of the modern industrial status.

In the United States, tooling industry is regarded as the "cornerstone of American industry" in Japan, tooling industry is to be respected "to enter the driving force behind an affluent society," such a high position. If you want to know a country's manufacturing level and the potential for development, research mold manufacturing level is a good choice.

Japan's such a serious shortage of natural resources of the country, human creativity is the only resources. Only by relying on people to create new products, Japan can in this era of globalization survival and development, and in this sense, the Japanese manufacturing sector as the foundation of this is appropriate. It is precisely because of this, China's prosperity and die industry, this will irritate the Japanese industry's nerves. China has rich resources if grasp the essence of the manufacturing industry, and can continue to be sublimated, then Japan will be the foundation of survival shaken.

Japanese manufacturers scourge?

In response to the threat from China, Japan Die enterprises racking their brains. Because of its technical advantages, thus giving full play to Japan Die enterprises of high-grade, a sharp technical features, will become general consensus.

Japan Policy Research Institute Professor Hashimoto meaning that long, generally speaking China Mould and Die compared to Japan is "1 / 3 of the cost, 1 / 2 quality." In other words, according to the different quality requirements, some users will be satisfied with the "1 / 3 of the cost, 1 / 2 the quality" and the other part is not. This was the Japanese mold industry in the face of competition from Chinese counterparts confidence of the party.

Die in China and the competitiveness of enterprises, the Japanese companies spare no effort to increase its presence in the field of high-end Die competitive advantage. First, strictly control the outflow of intellectual property rights may be to link, for example, personally worldwide products for maintenance, to avoid drawing users to the potential risk of leakage of technology. Secondly, to China and Southeast Asia, and other regions with cheap labor transfer, through the use of the local labor force increased the cost of Japanese die competitiveness. Finally, and most important is to strengthen Japan Die Die enterprises in the high-end market inherent competitive advantage.

As modern high frequency of replacement products, mold design and processing technology to a very high demand, mould industry has been gradually focused on the competition to mold design, innovation and technology transfer in areas such as standardization, Japan Die enterprises accumulated rich experience and high the quality of human resources in these areas to the competitive advantage has been constantly strengthened.

2006, China's enterprises spent on the mold imports reached 2 billion US dollars of funds, auto cover, such as electronic processing jig mold entirely dependent on imports. In addition, many Japanese users Die Mold is fully handed over to the high-end Japan.

Take advantage of the mold industry overall technical level is still at a relatively low level of the situation, Japan Die enterprises ongoing tit-for-tat competition. However, the Chinese and Japanese enterprises die competition in the industry and no internal constraints, the whole industry chain competition has been in full swing.

The whole industry chain competition

By the end of 2005, held in Japan in the manufacturing partners forum, the Japanese mold industry participants generally believe that: Perhaps foreign enterprises to learn Japanese die mold manufacturing technology, but they can not imitate the Japanese manufacturers, vendors, as well as forming and die manufacturers of materials Inter close to a joint development of the manufacturing system. In their view, such a "manufacturing culture" is unique to the Japanese manufacturing competitiveness. Carefully study the Chinese market on the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain Die three links, it is obvious that the above statement is indeed very convincing.

Die manufacturing in the upstream part of the field Die Steel, "Datong Steel" and "Hitachi Metal" and other Japanese enterprises occupy a near monopoly status, many Chinese enterprises Die outreach materials will be specially marked using the two Japan the special brand of steel. To meet the strong development of the China Mould market demand, Tatung and Hitachi have set up in China a lot of "Division." With the mold industry to accelerate growth, China's demand for steel mold growth. In recent years, only in the area more than 10,000 manufacturing enterprises die, the die steel consumption in the more than 500,000 tons, and demand is still growing. Corresponding to this is that the Chinese domestic steel molds to meet the rapid development of mould industry, mold enterprises have to choose steel imports. Although steel imports generally expensive than domestic steel 4 ~ 5 times, but in order to mould the quality of the domestic enterprises have no choice but die.
