Air compressor market Chinese is mainly composed of piston, screw, centrifugal vane air compressor, etc., wherein the piston type accounted for the largest, followed by screw, centrifugal, vane, scroll type etc.. In recent years, with the development of screw air compressor and centrifugal air compressor, the proportion of piston air compressor in the industry has declined, but it still dominates the market.

Screw type air compressor

Compared to the piston type air compressor, screw type air compressor has low operation cost, from the machine to the entire life cycle, the investment recovery rate is 20% higher than the screw machine piston machine, energy-saving effect and other advantages, therefore, began to gradually replace the piston type air compressor in many fields of screw type air compressor.

Especially the development trend of energy saving in the "low carbon", the rapid development of the domestic mining, metallurgy, electric power, electronics, machinery manufacturing, medicine, food, textile, petrochemical and other industries, will also speed up the elimination of backward technology, high energy consuming equipment, promote the compressor equipment to high value-added upgrade from low value-added thus, bringing development opportunities for further screw compressor industry.

"11th Five-Year" period, screw machine in our country has realized the partial replacement of piston machine, screw machine is expected to replace the piston machine will continue, piston machine demand will gradually decline, but in view of the piston type air compressor is more extensively used and relatively low price, the market demand will continue to maintain a certain level. Looking forward to the Industrial Research Institute is expected, 2014-2018, China's screw air compressor market size will maintain an average annual growth rate of 15%.

Piston type air compressor

In recent years, the proportion of piston air compressor in air compressor has decreased, but still occupy a dominant position. 2008, the proportion of piston type air compressor in the air compressor accounted for 81.8%, accounting for nearly two years, although declined, but the overall remained at more than 75%. 2011, China's piston air compressor market size of about 100 billion 137 million yuan, in 2012, the piston type air compressor market size of about $108 billion 39 million.

Prospective industry research institute "2013-2017 annual sales demand Chinese air compressor industry forecast and upgrade analysis report" data show that the western developed countries screw air compressor market share is about 80%, the Japanese screw compressor in 1976 accounted for 27%, rising to 85% in 1985, the future of our country piston compressors are alternative efforts will continue to increase, but considering the replacement cost of the equipment and the replacement process is required for a period of time.

Centrifugal air compressor

Because the centrifugal compressor is oil-free compressor, the safety and sanitation performance is good, can be used in food, pharmaceutical and mining, air separation and other requirements of the work environment. At present, the centrifugal air compressor is mainly used in the fields of steel, petrochemical, shipbuilding, electric power and automobile, which can account for more than 70% of the total demand of centrifugal air compressor. Currently, iron and steel, shipbuilding, power, automotive industry is in a downward trend in these economies, is expected to slow the growth of downstream, will make the centrifugal compressor industry growth slowed.

scroll compressor

Scroll air compressor air compressor is the latest model developed in recent years, compared with the traditional air compressor has the advantages of novel structure, small volume, light weight, low noise, long service life, continuous gas supply, simple operation, low maintenance cost and a series of excellent technical performance, by the industry as "without air compressor maintenance" and "the new revolution of air compressor, air compressor is 50HP below the ideal model. Scroll compressor is still mainly used in the field of refrigeration.

In recent years, affected by the economic downturn, air-conditioning sales decline caused turboblower sales decline, but in the future with the development of economy and the consumer confidence index improved turboblower can still maintain a certain market growth.
