In recent years, influenced by the international financial crisis, the global market shrinking, but according to relevant data show that as of the first half of the year, Japan is still the world powers of die casting mould, its profit is not shrinking, competitiveness is still strong.

Because the world such as Japan, the United States, Germany, the domestic demand of mold production power decline and the increasing cost, makes the mold manufacturers began to shift production in these countries, and gradually expand the Chinese market.The hope is to increase profits through cheap labor and materials procurement costs in China.However, once the mold production enterprises in these countries enter the east, it will inevitably lead to the invisible outflow of their national mold design and manufacturing technology.In this way, a large amount of research and development costs must be invested again to strengthen the competitiveness of its mold products, thus drawing the gap between them and Chinese mold products.

It is reported that under the increasingly fierce competition in the international die casting mould market, the Japanese die casting mould industry is also trying to reduce the production cost."Now Japan die-casting mould industry is gradually technology content is not high mold to production region with low labor costs, only in the domestic production of high technical content of products" international mold association secretary general luo hui said, Japan the growing trend of speed up to transfer abroad, which reduce Japanese die-casting mold usage.

But on the other hand, although the presence of a foreign mold enterprise will increase to a certain extent domestic mould competition, but these high-end mold enterprise come from another Angle also promoted the domestic mold competition consciousness, which would increase the overall level of mould manufacturing technology improvement to improve.

In terms of the size of the market, the decline in output or domestic demand was most pronounced in Japan.Japanese mold manufacturers in technology attaches great importance to the polishing and grinding process, the German mold manufacturers, by improving the accuracy and efficiency of machining and edm, to reduce processing time by hand.
