China’s air compressor industry traces its roots to the 1950s, initially serving state-owned enterprises and critical infrastructure projects. During the planned economy era, the sector focused on basic piston compressors for industrial applications. The post-reform era (1980s–2000s) marked a turning point, with market liberalization driving technological advancements like screw compressors and energy-efficient designs.
Key Milestones:
1980s–1990s: Introduction of imported technologies, such as rotary screw compressors, to replace outdated piston models.
2000s: Emergence of domestic brands like Langair and Airstone, leveraging automation and IoT for smart compressor systems.
2020s: China became the world’s largest air compressor market, valued at over ¥1 trillion, with 10% annual growth driven by industrial automation and green policies.
Future Outlook:
Smart Manufacturing: Integration of AI-driven predictive maintenance and remote monitoring systems.
Global Expansion: Rising exports under the Belt and Road Initiative, targeting Southeast Asia and Africa
