​The air compressor, a driven fluid machine that lifts a low-pressure gas to a high-pressure gas, is the heart of the cooling system. The use of air compressors is relatively wide, in recent years, iron and steel, power engineering, metallurgical industry, petrochemical industry, mining, machinery and equipment manufacturing, paper printing, automotive industry, household appliances, aerospace engineering and other industries have no small business needs, the market has shown a booming trend.
Especially in recent years, the field of new energy and cold chain logistics has slowly become a promising industry in the development trend of the domestic industry, which further broadens the application range of air compressors. With the improvement of people's living consumption level, the consumption demand for fresh frozen food that is easy to store continues to expand, which has contributed to the rapid development of the cold chain logistics industry, and the demand for freezing equipment such as freezing storage, refrigerated trucks, and refrigerated cabinets is also increasing, thus driving the development of the air compressor market. In addition, in the field of new energy, air compressor as a key component of the automotive fuel cell cathode booster system, the use of performance is directly related to the efficiency of the fuel cell system, compactness and water balance characteristics, so the development of China's new energy vehicle market, is also conducive to the continuous expansion of the air compressor market.
In recent years, with the continuous expansion of downstream application demand, the air compressor industry in China has developed rapidly, and the sales revenue of enterprises above designated size has gradually developed from 49.25 billion yuan in 2016 to 59.23 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 4.7%; It is expected that in the next period of time, with the increasing demand for air compressor applications in the field of new energy and cold chain logistics, there is still a relatively large growth potential in the air compressor market in China. From the market distribution point of view, in China is not only the air compressor export power, but also the air compressor export power. According to the public data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, since 2015, the export scale of air compressors in China has been greater than imports, and the development of 2020, the export amount of air compressors in China has exceeded 1.47 billion US dollars, an increase of 17.6%, which is more than twice the import amount of the same year (about 720 million US dollars). The surplus expanded to 0 million. It can be learned that a large number of export industries in China's air compressors have developed rapidly, and a relatively large surplus has been formed, and the competitiveness of domestic products in the global market has been further enhanced.
However, from the current point of view, in the field of air compressors in China to maintain a vigorous development trend, the number of Chinese competitors is large, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises with poor overall strength, the quality of the products produced is also uneven, and the market industry differentiation space is large. It is believed that with the innovation and transformation of China's manufacturing industry, the market demand for air compressors has gradually developed in the direction of automation technology and intelligence, and local manufacturing enterprises in China also need to master the core technology as soon as possible, continue to optimize the product structure, and accelerate the development of high-end fields.
