1. The domestic low-end and mid-end automobile stamping die market is relatively saturated, and the pace of localization in the high-end market is accelerating
In recent years, the number of automobile stamping die manufacturing companies in my country has continued to increase, and production capacity has also increased accordingly, but most of the industry is small and medium-sized enterprises, with limited equipment and R&D investment, and mainly produces low-end and mid-end stamping die products with low technical requirements, resulting in a relatively saturated supply of low-end and mid-end automobile stamping die markets and fierce competition, while the domestic self-sufficiency rate in the high-end market is still relatively low, only about 60%.
Some leading domestic automobile Custom Copper Stamping die manufacturers have brought their die products to a new level by introducing advanced foreign production equipment and technology, strengthening technology research and development and production process innovation, and realizing the design and manufacture of C-class automobile stamping dies. Large progressive dies have made substantial breakthroughs, and have successfully developed large progressive dies up to 6 meters long.
They have competed with international manufacturers in all aspects of the high-end automobile stamping die product market segment, promoted the rapid development of the import substitution market, and further accelerated the pace of mold localization. Chery, Great Wall, Brilliance, and other independent brand automobile companies have successively shifted the import of complete vehicle molds required for automobile development to domestic procurement, while joint venture automobile companies such as Volkswagen and General Motors have also begun to shift high-end automobile stamping molds to domestic procurement. The localization of high-end automobile stamping molds has further expanded the market demand for domestic automobile stamping molds.
2. The degree of specialization and commercialization of domestic automobile stamping mold production has been further improved
Due to the historical reasons for the development of my country's automobile industry, most domestic automobile Copper Sheet Metal Fabrication mold companies have developed dependent on automobile manufacturers, and have made providing mold matching for automobile manufacturers their top priority, resulting in a general lack of professional division of labor in automobile stamping mold companies, and a low degree of marketization and socialized procurement. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, my country encouraged the automobile stamping mold industry to develop towards specialization and commercialization from a policy perspective, encouraged the separation of main and auxiliary, and made mold production move from subsidiary to independent. More and more subsidiary mold companies have increased their proportion of external orders or reorganized into independent mold companies. At present, socially purchased molds account for only about 45% of the molds produced each year in China. In the future, the level of socialized mold procurement will be further improved and approach the level of more than 70% of molds produced abroad.
3. Automobile stamping die production enterprises extend to the downstream industrial chain
With the rapid development of the automobile Brass Sheet Metal Stamping die industry, the industry's technical level has improved rapidly, and competition has intensified. The simple design and manufacturing model can no longer meet the needs of market competition. Some major companies in the industry have begun to extend to the downstream industrial chain with molds as the core, establish stamping production lines, and directly produce automobile stamping parts for customers with the produced molds. The advantages of this transfer to the downstream industrial chain with molds as the core are that, first, automobile stamping die manufacturers have established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with automobile manufacturers in the course of operation, and directly supplying stamping products can better serve automobile manufacturers; second, directly producing automobile parts with molds produced for customers can effectively reduce production costs and improve production efficiency; third, the scale advantage is obvious.
Automobile Manganese Copper Stamping dies are customized products, while automobile stamping parts can be produced continuously in large quantities, which increases the production scale of enterprises. For the above considerations, the business scope of major manufacturers in the automobile stamping die industry has a trend of extending to the downstream industrial chain, actively cooperating with automobile manufacturers to provide "integrated" mold and product services.
4. Wide application of progressive dies
Beryllium Copper Stampings with complex shapes, especially some small and medium-sized complex stamping parts that require multiple stamping dies to be punched in sequence according to traditional processes, are increasingly formed by progressive dies. About 30%-40% of automobile stamping parts in developed countries have been produced by progressive dies, while the proportion of progressive dies in my country's automobile parts stamping dies is only about 10%. Progressive dies will be one of the key mold products developed in my country. Progressive dies are safe, high-precision, high-efficiency, and long-life dies.
They are one of the development directions of Stainless Steel Stamping dies and can significantly reduce the production cost of small and medium-sized stamping parts. Progressive dies to control the feeding distance and punch through each station to continuously complete the blanking, bending, stretching, forming, and other processes, realizing automation and large-scale punching and forming. With the development of efficient and automated automobile stamping production, progressive dies will be more widely used in the production of automobile stamping parts.
