Chinese mold industry has formed certain advantages, with obvious advantages in industrial cluster development. At the same time, its characteristics are also relatively prominent and regional development is uneven, which makes the development of Chinese mold industry in the south faster than in the north.

According to relevant data, in recent years, Chinese mold industry cluster has become a new feature of industry development, forming automobile mold industry cluster production bases represented by Wuhu and Botou; Precision mold industry cluster production bases represented by Wuxi and Kunshan; And large precision mold industry cluster production bases represented by Dongguan, Shenzhen, Huangyan, and Ningbo.

At present, the development of Chinese mold manufacturing industry has formed certain advantages, with obvious advantages in industrial cluster development. Compared to decentralized production, cluster production has many advantages such as convenient collaboration, lower costs, opening up the market, and reducing environmental pollution areas. The clustering of molds and the close geographical location of enterprises are conducive to the formation of a highly detailed and closely coordinated professional division of labor and cooperation system, which can compensate for the uneconomical scale of small and medium-sized enterprises with the advantages of social division of labor, effectively reducing production costs and transaction costs; Industrial clusters enable enterprises to make full use of their own location, resources, material and technological foundation, division of labor system, production and marketing networks, etc., to gather and develop one product at a time, providing conditions for the formation of specialized markets in the region; Clustering forms a regional economy of scale. Enterprises often win in terms of price and quality, deliver on schedule, and increase leverage in negotiations. This is conducive to expanding the international market. With the development of technology and changes in demand, the process is increasingly highly specialized. Mold clustering provides a great opportunity for specialized manufacturers to survive, and it also enables them to achieve large-scale production, forming a virtuous cycle between the two, Continuously improve the overall production efficiency of enterprise clusters.

The development of Chinese mold manufacturing industry has its own characteristics. The regional development is unbalanced. For a long time, the development of Chinese mold industry has been unbalanced in terms of regional distribution. The development of the southeast coastal areas is faster than that of the central and western regions, and the development of the south is faster than that of the north. The most concentrated mold production areas are in the the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, whose mold output value accounts for more than two-thirds of the national output value; Chinese mold industry is expanding from the more developed Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions to the mainland and the north. In terms of industrial layout, there have been some new areas where mold production is relatively concentrated, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, and Anhui. Mold agglomeration has become a new feature, and mold parks (cities, clusters, etc.) are constantly emerging. With the need for industrial adjustment and transformation and upgrading in various regions, more attention has been paid to the development of the mold industry. The trend of Chinese mold industry layout adjustment has become clear, and the division of labor among various industrial clusters is becoming increasingly detailed.

According to statistics from relevant departments, there are currently about 100 mold industry parks that have been built and are beginning to take shape in China, and there are still some mold industry parks under preparation and planning. I believe that China will develop into a world mold manufacturing center in the future.
