Global manufacturing costs $400 billion

At present, all countries have taken the development of modern and efficient tools as an important means to increase the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. The concept that "cutting tools are productive during processing is not a consumable item" has reached a consensus in developed countries. Cutting tool consumption accounts for 3% to 4% of manufacturing costs. In China's manufacturing industry, most companies still rely on cheap labor as the main means to reduce costs, and less attention is paid to improving efficiency through improved processing methods. As a result, tool consumption levels in China's manufacturing industry are generally low, accounting for only 1 of manufacturing costs. % to 2%.

In Germany, the United States, Japan and other manufacturing powerhouses, the rules of modern CNC machine tools and high-efficiency tool coordination and balanced development are very obvious. The purpose is to provide the manufacturing industry with a best configuration and solution that can fully realize the potential of the equipment. According to research by Luo Baihui, chief information officer of Jinmo Tool Network, the annual manufacturing cost of global manufacturing industry has reached more than 400 billion US dollars, of which the tool cost is about 20 billion US dollars. In recent years, manufacturing industries in developed countries have adopted modern high-efficiency cutting tools to increase labor productivity. The annual cost savings for manufacturing industry has reached 100 billion US dollars, which is far higher than the investment in cutting tools. In the developed countries, in the normal years of stable economic development, the annual scale of tool consumption is generally about 1/2 that of machine tool consumption. For example, when the annual consumption of machine tools is 6 billion U.S. dollars, the consumption of tools is generally about 3 billion U.S. dollars. Only in the years of economic recession will this ratio change as the scale of investment shrinks. However, the regularity of coordinated development of machine tools in developed countries does not appear in China. Especially in the last 10 years, the consumption of machine tools in China's manufacturing industry has taken the lead and the tool consumption has been left behind. This strange phenomenon has become a feature of the development of China's machine tool industry. Such as: In 2010, China's machine tool consumption reached a record level of 28.5 billion US dollars. In the same year, tool consumption was 5 billion U.S. dollars, and tool consumption was only 18% of machine tool consumption. It is much lower than the level of 50% in developed countries.

The market demand for China's tool and tooling industry continues to expand In recent years, China's cutting tool industry is developing very rapidly. At present, it still maintains a momentum of rapid growth, and is expected to create a new historical high point. Statistics show that only the first half of the domestic tool market achieved a growth of 25% to 30%. Although the growth rate has declined since the second half of the year, it can still achieve 15% growth in the whole year. In comparison, the international tool market has maintained a stable recovery in recent years, but conservative estimates for annual growth rates have remained at around 3% to 5%. The development of hardware tools in China is booming. The tooling process requires molds to form the mold. This is of great benefit to China's mold industry. In Luo Baihui's view, the thermal development of China's hardware tools is inseparable from its strong market demand. According to the data, in 2012, the total production volume of China-made cutting tools reached 35 billion yuan, and export cutters reached 8.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.4%. According to this growth rate, it is expected that the tool consumption will reach more than 48.5 billion in 2013.

It is reported that the huge market demand is an important factor in the flourishing development of China's cutting tool industry. With the stimulation of consumption, the scale of tool production in China is continuously expanding. With the promotion of the tool market, the market demand for tool molds in China will inevitably be improved, which will promote the development of the domestic tool mold industry.
