Analysis of Development Status of High-Temperature Heat Pump Drying Industry in China

In the past years, dry storage has been an indispensable process in China's agriculture and industrial industries. The application of drying equipment has become more and more widespread. High-temperature heat pump drying equipment is commonly used for grain drying and tobacco drying. In the field of industrial and business development, the development of the drying equipment industry in China has gradually advanced to high-end and energy-saving for over 20 years. At present, the drying equipment manufacturing industry has formed a certain scale in China. Although an economic interest chain has been formed in the international market, there are still certain problems and drawbacks.

Problems that exist

In the next few years, the demand for drying equipment in China's chemical industry will reach around 3,000 sets (sets); the annual demand for pharmaceutical drying equipment will reach around 3,000 sets (sets); the annual demand for drying equipment for agriculture, forestry, grain, light industry, etc. The amount is expected to reach around 5,000 (sets). At present, the domestic market share of drying equipment in China has reached more than 80%. It is expected that during the “10th Five-Year Plan” period, the domestic market share of domestic drying equipment will reach over 90%. At present, the existing problems are highlighted by two areas: regional concentration and weak technological innovation.

Business distribution

Most of the production enterprises of the drying equipment industry in China are gradually derived from the early enterprises in the industry. The geographical location is relatively concentrated, and the personnel structure is seriously flawed. So far, enterprises are mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Liaoning, and Heilin. Enterprises in these regions account for almost 50% of the total number of industries. In stark contrast to this, at present there are still some areas in China Drying equipment manufacturers. Intense competition in the industry, some companies focus on immediate interests, the lack of system development ideas, the overall quality of the slow increase, seriously hampered the normal development of the industry.

Technological development ability is not strong

After the reform and opening up, especially in recent years, China's economic growth potential has been effectively released. The supply-demand relationship formed by the shortage economy has undergone a fundamental change, and the buyer’s market has taken shape. Under the pressure of the buyer's market, some companies are chasing the market rather than looking for and exploring the market. The company's energy is focused on the products that have more market demand and mature in the near future. Therefore, in the oven, vibrating fluidized bed, spray dryer and other products, the manufacturers are more concentrated and the competition is fierce. There are fewer companies engaged in the development of drying equipment in the industry. The improvement of new products and the introduction of new products mainly rely on mutual imitation.
