Despite global trade friction, China’s air compressor industry is leveraging policy incentives and R&D investments to sustain export growth. The State Council’s 2024 Action Plan for Large-Scale Equipment Renewal aims to boost industrial upgrades, with compressor efficiency standards driving demand for advanced models like permanent magnet VSD units.
Market Dynamics:
High-End Expansion: Domestic leaders like ELANG Group and Huade Mechanical are capturing niche markets with IoT-enabled and energy-efficient compressors, priced 30% lower than Western counterparts.
Export Structure: Screw compressors dominate exports, accounting for 52.6% of China’s 2023 output. Portable oil-free models are gaining traction in food/pharma sectors, with ASEAN imports up 29.7% YoY.
Tariff Mitigation: To counter U.S. tariffs, Chinese firms like Atlas Copco China are establishing assembly hubs in Mexico and Vietnam, reducing direct exports by 15%.
Forecast: By 2029, China’s air compressor exports are expected to reach $58 billion, with digitalization and green certifications (e.g., ISO 22000) becoming critical for market access.
