Inventory Of China's Major Mold Production Areas

The mold industry cluster in China has distinct characteristics, and the color masterbatch industry network helps everyone understand the main well-known production areas.

Major mold production areas in China

Taizhou Huangyan, known as the "Hometown of Molds in China," has achieved remarkable success in the mold industry. Its complete industrial chain structure and distinct characteristics provide a valuable reference for the development of enterprises in the plastic industry.

Industry scale

Leading industry scale, considerable market share

The Huangyan mold industry is a leader in terms of technological level, industrial scale, and market share across the country.

Overall Industry Overview:

The annual output value is close to 30 billion yuan.

There are over 2,000 mold enterprises, with more than 50,000 employees, and the production scale accounts for about 10% of the country.

Market share of sub-segments:

Extrusion molds occupy 80% of the national market share.

Blow molding molds account for 75% of the national market share.

Injection molds account for 30% of the national market share.

Development status of enterprises above designated size:

Since last year, the number of mold-related enterprises above designated size has increased to 326, with a total output value of 25.376 billion yuan.

Industry cluster honors and output value:

Last year, the Huangyan plastic mold industry was selected as a national-level characteristic industrial cluster for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the first quarter of this year, the high-end mold industry cluster in Huangyan was selected as a provincial "rising star" industry cluster.

In the first quarter, the output value of the large-scale mold industry reached 2.78 billion yuan, with March alone reaching 1.23 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.6%.

Industry chain

Complete industrial chain with full coverage of key links.

Industrial Scale Foundation:

The local area has approximately 100,000 industry practitioners.

There are more than 4,000 specialized enterprises in molds, related accessories, and corresponding equipment.

Coverage of the industrial chain links:

Achieved comprehensive coverage of key links in the industrial chain, including three-dimensional surveying and mapping, mold materials, mold design, and trial molding.

Industrial effectiveness exemplified by automotive molds:

The automotive molds from Huangyan account for 40% of the country's total.

The company can quickly complete the personalized customization of all 500 sets of plastic molds required for the entire automobile without leaving Huangyan.

The benefits brought by a complete industrial chain:

Enabling enterprises to efficiently acquire the resources they need locally.

Greatly shortened the production cycle and reduced production costs.

Industrial driving effect

The industrial driving effect is significant, extending the industrial chain to create clusters.

The mold industry has a "turning iron into gold" effect. Experts analyze that it has a driving ratio of about 1:100, meaning that a growth of 100 million yuan in the mold industry can drive a growth of 10 billion yuan in related industries.

Extend the industrial chain to create an industrial cluster.

Core development idea: Huangyan focuses on high-quality development of the mold industry, vigorously promoting the development of downstream industries such as plastics, electric bicycles, and auto parts, as well as related industries. By extending the industrial chain to find new growth points, it aims to create a hundred billion-level mold and plastic industry cluster.

Key Cultivation Industry Situation

Industrial status: The electric vehicle and automobile and motorcycle parts industries, which are closely related to the Huangyan mold industry, are key areas for development.

Industry scale: The industry has 85 enterprises above designated size, with the output value of these enterprises reaching 14.573 billion yuan in 2024.

Advantages of the component industry: Huangyan's electric vehicle component industry is comprehensive, with market shares for plastic parts, motors, controllers, and other components ranking first in the industry. Except for tires and lead-acid batteries, all other components can be fully assembled in Huangyan.
