Valve Market Analysis: Valve Market Turnover Reaches 150 Billion Yuan

At present, the annual turnover of valve market in my country is as high as 150 billion yuan, of which more than 30 billion yuan is occupied by foreign valve enterprises. According to China's "11th Five-Year Plan" development plan, the Chinese valve industry, especially valve enterprises focusing on the two major markets of water and construction, still lags behind international advanced enterprises in energy conservation, environmental protection, safety and sustainable development strategies.

Compared with international advanced valve enterprises, Chinese valve enterprises are mainly manifested in the following aspects: Chinese valve enterprises are small in scale, low in technical level, and relatively weak in competitiveness of Chinese valve brands. If these problems are not solved in time, they will not only greatly affect the overall supporting level of China's valve industry, but also restrict the healthy growth of China's valve industry. The integration and reorganization of valve enterprises is a process that China's valve industry must go through at present. Only through large-scale and large-scale integration of high-quality assets can Chinese valve enterprises quickly form a strong valve group.

During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the total demand for domestic valves is predicted to be 300 billion yuan. In addition, according to the needs of my country's national economic development, the focus of valve development is the development of new valve products for major engineering construction projects such as thermal power, nuclear power, hydropower, large-scale petrochemicals, oil and gas gathering and transportation pipelines, coal liquefaction and metallurgy. While developing the above new valve products, attention should be paid to the promotion and application of new valve technology, such as the application of vacuum electron beam welding technology and shear extrusion technology when developing high-temperature and high-pressure power station valves and nuclear power station valves with forged welding structures; and the application of integral welding technology in the development of large-diameter integral ball valves for long-distance pipelines.

Valves are indispensable fluid control equipment in various sectors of the national economy, including petroleum, chemical industry, power stations, long-distance pipelines, shipbuilding, nuclear industry, various cryogenic projects, aerospace, and offshore oil production.

After more than 20 years of development, there are about 6,000 valve enterprises of various sizes in my country, ranking first in the world, of which 900 have an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan. From the perspective of valve products, my country's valve industry can currently produce more than a dozen major categories of products, such as gate valves, stop valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, safety valves, check valves, throttle valves, plug valves, pressure reducing valves, diaphragm valves, steam traps, emergency shut-off valves, etc.
