Japan's mold industry strives to reduce production costs and enhance competitiveness

by：Gewinn 2022-05-07

Japan exports a large number of die-casting molds to foreign countries every year. Now the competition in the mold market is becoming increasingly fierce, so the Japanese mold industry is also trying to reduce production costs. The labor cost in Japan is more than ten times that of China and Southeast Asia, and more than 70% of the labor cost is non-core technical personnel. 'Now Japan's die-casting mold industry is gradually shifting low-tech molds to production in areas with low labor costs, and only producing products with high technical content in their own countries.' China Machine Tool Network (Machin35.com) believes that Japan's main molds are used. There is a tendency for enterprises to speed up their transfer to foreign countries, which reduces the use of die-casting molds in Japan. At present, the Japanese mold industry has accelerated the pace of developing mold factories overseas. This makes the price of molds in Japan drop by about 20% compared with 2005, but this is the result of Japan's expansion of mold production bases overseas, which undoubtedly enhances the competitiveness of Japanese molds in the world market. Japan is still the world's most powerful country in mold production, and its profits have not shrunk, but the mold industry has become more competitive by transferring overseas.
