It is expected that demand of plastic mould steel, large scale mould steel and medium to high-end mould steel will constantly increase in the next five years.

 

  1. Automotive and home appliance is the main application market of plastic mould steel. Over 90% of the auto parts are molded, which uses cold forming, hot forming and plastic mould steel. Mould consumption of every 10,000 cars reaches 0.12 tons. 80% components of home appliance rely on molding, wherein consumption of plastic mould steel is the most. 
  2. On one hand, mould forming component follows the trend of large-scaled; on the other hand, to enhance production efficiency, one-mold and multi-cavity model is widely used; thus, demand of large scale mould steel will increase year by year.
