China's development of air compressors usher in a good opportunity

In recent years, with the rapid development of the international air compressor industry, the global compressor market has gradually increased its concentration. Leading compressor manufacturers have continuously improved their competitiveness through industry consolidation and gradually emerged as Atlas and Ingersoll Rand. The industry leaders represented represent a dominant market position. In 2011, Atlas and Ingersoll-Rand together accounted for nearly 20% of the global market share.

The “Analytical Report on Forecasting and Transforming Production and Sales Demand of China's Air Compressor Industry in 2012-2016” released by the Industry Research Institute of Forward-looking Industry shows that compared with the global market, the development of the air compressor industry in China has been even better in recent years. During the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, the localization rate of air compressor complete sets of equipment in various fields including China's petrochemical industry, chemical industry, coal-electricity oil industry, light textile industry, metallurgical industry, etc. has been continuously improved, which is the development of China's air compressor industry. Provides huge business opportunities.

Despite the economic crisis in 2008, the growth rate of the air compressor industry in China has slowed down. Since the economic environment has been warming since 2009, the recovery trend of the industry is obvious. According to statistics of the “Compressor” magazine, the 2011 market for air compressors in China mainly includes The capacity of screw, piston and other types of air compressors exceeds 20 billion yuan.

With the proposal for the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" development, the domestic market will provide ample space for the development of the air compressor industry. At the same time, it will provide unprecedented opportunities and challenges for the air compressor industry to accelerate product quality improvement and catch up with the world. During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, China’s total demand for large and medium-sized air compressors will increase further than the total demand during the “10th Five-Year Plan” and “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, especially for ultra-large and special process compressors.

At present, the vast majority of companies in the air compressor industry in China are engaged in the production of piston air compressors, and the main core component of most of the companies producing spiral air compressors, the double helix rotors, is also mainly dependent on imports. Domestic companies mainly provide Whole product. As a key component of the double-screw air compressor, the rotor occupies more than 26.79% of the total cost. However, the number of companies that can manufacture spiral rotors in our country is very small, and they are only leading companies in several industries such as Shanghai Hanzhong and Kaishan.

As China gradually becomes a global manufacturing center, the focus of global compressor manufacturing has gradually shifted to mainland China. Major international compressor manufacturers have entered the Chinese market one after another. Since the 1980s, Atlas, Ingersoll-Rand and Sullair have entered the Chinese market. Ingersoll-Rand first established a production base in mainland China in 1997, followed by Atlas and other companies. In the domestic investment and construction, at present, the world's major compressor manufacturers have production bases in China.

Forward-looking Industry Research Institute of the Air Compressor Industry Research Group said that the major international compressor manufacturers have attached great importance to the development in China, and China has become the world's second largest market. The entry of major international compressor manufacturers into China has exacerbated the market competition in China's air compressor industry.
