Guided by the ‘dual carbon’ targets, the tyre mould industry is accelerating its transition to green manufacturing, with the promotion and application of environmentally friendly processes such as dry cutting and low-temperature machining, resulting in a continuous reduction in the sector’s energy consumption and emissions.

The domestic tyre mould industry has achieved new breakthroughs in digital design technology, with the introduction of an AI-based mould structural design system that has reduced design cycles by an average of over 30%.

Driven by increased infrastructure investment and a recovery in the mining sector, demand for all-steel radial tyre moulds has surged, with engineering tyre moulds emerging as a new growth driver for the tyre mould industry.

According to the latest data from industry research organisations, the market size of China’s tyre mould industry exceeded 10 billion yuan in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.5%, with digitalisation and intelligent upgrades becoming the dominant themes driving the industry’s development.
