Machinery and molds account for 23% of CNC machine tool consumption

Mold manufacturing is the traditional foundation of CNC machine tools, accounting for 23% of the consumer market (combined with general machinery manufacturing). Injection molds, stamping molds, and die-casting molds all have rigid requirements for machining centers, electric discharge machines, and slow wire cutting. The characteristic of the mold industry is "non standardization" - each mold is customized, with large processing volume, complex surface, and tight delivery time. Domestic machining centers have a high penetration rate in the field of molds, but high-precision multi cavity molds and optical grade molds still rely on imported five axis and precision grinding machines. The profit squeeze in the mold industry is also intensifying - downstream price cuts, material price increases, and delivery time reductions, forcing mold factories to compress equipment update cycles. The cost-effectiveness advantage of mid-range domestic machine tools is particularly evident in this market.
