The purpose of this paper is to examine the increase in the global competitiveness of East Asian countries （Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan） in die and mold industry. And we presented the competitiveness including structure of competition and division between East Asian countries. Furthermore, we insisted that such structure of competition and division is closely related to technological innovations of die and mold industry such as NC Machine Tools and 3D-CAD which occur in East Asian countries.
