In recent years, China's tire mold industry has developed healthily, and the production and demand of rubber tire molds have flourished. Relying on technical transformation and innovation, new technologies, new processes and new products are constantly emerging, which accelerates the pace of tire mold enterprises to move towards high-tech enterprises. At present, there are more than 100 enterprises producing rubber tire molds in China, among which more than 30 enterprises have reached a certain scale, including two enterprises with a production capacity of over 200 million yuan: Guangdong Julun Mold Co., Ltd. and Jieyang Tianyang Mold Co., Ltd., and two enterprises with an annual production capacity of over 654.38 billion yuan: Shenyang Radial Tire Mold Co., Ltd. and Shandong Gaomi Mold Machinery Co., Ltd., In addition, Zhangjiagang Zhonglian Rubber Machinery Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Zhongli Mould Factory, Anhui Prince Fine Mould Co., Ltd., Anhui Avenue Mould Co., Ltd. and other 10 tire mould manufacturers have also formed large-scale production capacity.
Although China's rubber tire mold manufacturing enterprises have developed rapidly, their level and scale are quite different. Even leading enterprises still have a big gap with similar foreign enterprises, especially European and American enterprises, and their international competitiveness is insufficient.
With the rapid development of automobile industry, tire enterprises have higher and higher requirements on the precision, quality, life and delivery date of molds, and the competition among mold enterprises is also intensifying. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the radial tire rate will be further improved. At present, the domestic tire mold production capacity, especially the radial tire soft mold production capacity is seriously insufficient, which is a major problem facing the rubber tire mold industry. Facing the good market prospect and the main problems, China's rubber tire mold enterprises must strive to improve their core competitiveness and innovation ability.
