In 2003-2009, promoted by the rapid development of downstream industries, China’s demand for air compressor and other related general machinery grew fast. Since 2009, impacted by the global economic crisis, downstream sectors have reduced the investment and hence the demand for compressors. In 2012, the total output value reached RMB 11.34 billion, an increase of 8.9% over the previous year.
Screw compressors consist of twin-screw and single-screw types. The single-screw compressor features balanced stress, long service life, small leakage, high volumetric efficiency, better energy efficiency and therefore increasing application. In 2012, the sales volume of aerodynamic single-screw air compressor and technological process single-screw air compressor hit 13,153 and 553 respectively, up 8.4% and 8.3% year on year separately; the sales volume of aerodynamic twin-screw air compressor was 73,654, down 1.6% from a year earlier, while the sales volume of technological process twin-screw air compressor achieved 56, up 4.5% year on year.
Sales Volume of Screw Compressor in China by Product, 2009-2012
The replacement of reciprocating compressor with screw compressor will continue. (1) in terms of sales volume, the share of screw compressor in China’s air compressor market is less than 20%, far lower than those in developed countries (which are over 80%), so there is still a large space for the replacement of reciprocating compressor with screw compressor; (2) the 12th Five-Year Plan once again raised the energy efficiency targets of air compressor, and the launch of related energy-saving and environmental protection policies will further highlight the energy saving advantages of screw compressor. It’s expected that the share of screw compressor in China’s air compressor market will reach 78.5% and the market size of screw compressor will hit RMB 15.9 billion in 2016.
