In recent years, with the rapid development of the international refrigeration compressor industry, the global market concentration of compressor units has gradually increased. Leading compressor manufacturers have continuously improved their competitiveness through industry integration. Industry leaders represented by Germany's Bitzer and the United States' Ingersoll Rand have gradually emerged and occupied a dominant market position.
At the same time, in recent years, my country's refrigeration compressor unit industry has also developed rapidly driven by downstream demand. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the localization rate of refrigeration compressor sets in various fields of industrial refrigeration in my country continued to increase, and the demand for refrigeration compressor sets in cold chain logistics and home appliances continued to rise, providing huge business opportunities for the development of China's refrigeration compressor units. From 2008 to 2010, the market demand for refrigeration systems equipped with refrigerant compressor units averaged about 50 billion yuan per year. According to cost analysis estimates, the market demand for refrigerant compressor units was about 10 billion yuan; the market capacity of refrigeration systems equipped with refrigerant centrifugal compressor units averaged about 19 billion yuan. According to cost analysis estimates, the market capacity of refrigerant centrifugal compressors was about 6 billion yuan.
With the introduction of my country's 12th Five-Year Development Plan, the domestic market will provide a broad space for the development of the refrigeration compressor unit industry, and also provide unprecedented opportunities and challenges for the refrigeration compressor unit industry to accelerate the improvement of product quality and catch up with the world level. During the 12th Five-Year Plan, the total demand in my country's cold chain logistics field will further increase compared with the total demand during the 10th and 11th Five-Year Plans, coupled with the rapid growth of industrial refrigeration demand and the stable demand of the home appliance market. It is expected that during the 12th Five-Year Plan, the scale of my country's refrigeration compressor unit market will maintain a rapid growth rate of more than 10%.
