(2) process equipment backward, organization and coordination ability is poor. Though some of the technological transformation of the enterprise after in recent years, has been more advanced technology and equipment level, some of the foreign invested enterprise level of equipment is not behind abroad, but most of the enterprise process equipment is still lag behind. More importantly, the enterprise organization coordinated ability is poor, difficult to integrate or transfer of social resources use, thus it will be difficult to undertake larger projects.
(3) most enterprise development ability is weak, the innovation ability is not enough. On the one hand, low level of technical personnel proportion is not quite high, on the other hand is the scientific development less input; More important concepts backward, insufficient attention to innovation and development. Mould enterprise not only to pay attention to the development of the mould, also want to pay attention to the innovation of the product.
    (4) short-term relief to the contradiction between supply and demand. In recent years, domestic plastics mould domestic market meet rate has been less than 74%, including a large, precision, long life mold meet more rate low, less than 60% estimate. Meanwhile, industrial developed countries are accelerating the mould transferring to China, international purchasing more and more, the international market has a good prospect. The market demand, production is difficult to keep up with development at that time, in short supply situation will continue for a period of time.
国内外塑料模具的现状及水平：
    整体来看，中国塑料模具无论是在数量上，还是在质量、技术和能力等方面都有了很大进步，但与国民经济发展的需求、世界先进水平相比，差距仍很大。一些大型、精密、复杂、长寿命的中高档塑料模具每年仍需大量进口。在总量供不应求的同时，一些低档塑料模具却供过于求，市场竞争激烈，还有一些技术含量不太高的中档塑料模具也有供过于求的趋势。
加入WTO，给塑料模具产业带来了巨大的挑战，同时带来更多的机会。由于中国塑料模具以中低档产品为主，产品价格优势明显，有些甚至只有国外产品价格的1/5～1/3，加入WTO后，国外同类产品对国内冲击不大，而中国中低档模具的出口量则加大；在高精模具方面，加入WTO前本来就主要依靠进口，加入WTO后，不仅为高精尖产品的进口带来了更多的便利，同时还促使更多外资来中国建厂，带来国外先进的模具技术和管理经验，对培养中国的专业模具人才起到了推动作用。 塑料模具英文文献和中文翻译(2):http://www.youerw.com/fanyi/lunwen_7335.html
