Large reciprocating air compressors have been popularized and applied relying on new projects of coal chemical industry, coal to oil, coal to natural gas, coal to olefin and LNG. With the development of energy industry, the production technology of compressor has been developing forward continuously, and has entered a stable stage of development. With the rapid development of the air compressor industry, the concentration of the air compressor market has gradually increased, and a number of leading enterprises have gradually formed. In the future, leading enterprises with technological advantages and energy-saving advantages will continue to increase, and these enterprises will continuously improve their competitiveness through industry integration.
However, although Chinas air compressor industry has made breakthroughs, but the key parts still need to be imported, which has become a stumbling block for localization. Enterprises are small in scale, scattered in distribution, low in industrial concentration, lack of high-end technology, high proportion of low-level productivity, and serious homogeneity of products. Faced with these problems and fierce market competition, air compressor enterprises should urgently strengthen their efforts, implement structural adjustment, and promote industrial upgrading. At the same time, enterprises should vigorously speed up technological research and development, constantly carry out product innovation, and improve their own market competitiveness. Relevant enterprises should speed up the elimination of backward technology and energy-consuming equipment, and promote the upgrading of compressor equipment from low value-added to high value-added, thus bringing opportunities for further development of compressor industry.
Analysts pointed out that in recent years, Shanghai compressor enterprises have intensified innovation in technology, equipment, and personnel, and further narrowed the gap with foreign countries. But at the same time, relevant enterprises should continue to pay attention to innovation and research, improve product series, and lay the foundation for further localization of compressors in China.
