Development of refrigeration and air conditioning industry in China

Development of refrigeration and air conditioning industry in China

     Abstract: This paper describes the general pattern of refrigeration and air conditioning industry in China, including market, enterprise constitution, product change.. Each of them is worth our special form of data tracking, analysis and development.. But we, because of the limited human, financial, energy, currently only for the development of enterprises to do a global description of the macro and micro analysis for further is becoming the direction of our future work. The development of refrigeration and air conditioning industry in China is closely related to the future of our everybody, and let us look forward to the future and meet new opportunities and challenges.

Key words: modular air conditioning unit, fan coil unit, refrigeration equipment

     Due to the problem of statistical time, the refrigeration and air conditioning industry in China did not divide the frozen air conditioning year as Japan as the year of the air conditioning as the dividing line of the statistical division in October.. So the industry as we announced in the year 2001 is the overall situation of the 1-12 month, while the annual data show that the 2002 annual 1-9 months of the growth of the enterprise in 2002. Two year data is not directly can be compared, but we according to the statistical data of the personality growth to 2001 to 2002 market changes of a description, explain the observation angle is what we know of the industry status, therefore in the industry for enterprise development strategy of reference. 2001 annual statistical data sources in the annual report of 182 companies, omitting the room air conditioners, refrigerators and belonging to a household appliance, involving enterprises in industrial and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning equipment for about 60, 2002 third quarter statement summarizes the above 60 40, so 2001-2002 data compared are personalized enterprise growth comparison. About 2001 annual detailed data analysis, can refer to "2001 China refrigeration air conditioning industry annual report".

     Association Information Services Department has always been to maintain the attention of enterprise growth of industrial and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning field. Thus the we of industrial and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning field scale, development, product changes, such as to everyone to make an introduction, hope that through our observation and summary will outline our living in the existing state of the industry.

I. General Situation and technological progress
    In twenty-first Century, the refrigeration and air conditioning industry in China began to move towards higher goals based on the existing foundation.. In 2001, the total output value of the whole industry has reached 22 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.2%, of which commercial refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, the total output value reached 282.9 million yuan (including above 5 horses cabinet type air conditioner, household central air-conditioning, etc.), an increase of 37% over the previous year, 2002 is expected to total output value of the whole industry over the previous year can add 15% above, exceed 250 billion yuan.

    These data indicate that the technology of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment manufacturing has been improved, and the status of the major power has been further consolidated. Although the refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment manufacturing industry is a small industry, but the contribution is not small. In 2001, has achieved the gross value of industrial output accounted for 2.3% of China's GDP, and approximately 50 similar refrigeration and air conditioning industry industry professionals in the mechanical system of our country, the pace of the industry, we are in the development of other machinery industry leading.

    The above achievements, first of all, should be attributed to the industry enterprises seriously implement the science and education and the country, the policy focus on the first development of science and technology results. In 2001 the whole industry to declare the patent (only commercial refrigeration and air conditioning) up to 12 items, including patents accounted for 1/3; in 2001 the development of 25 new products, including 2/3 reached the international advanced level of similar products; in 2001 China Refrigeration and air conditioning industry won national technology invention prize two, two prize of national technological progress three in 2001, after the Chunlan Haier Design Institute, Design Institute, and the establishment of a Ji Rong postdoctoral workstation, Dalian iceberg Design Institute and post doctoral research station, Dunan (Hangzhou) and central air conditioning research institute and Zhejiang University to build the postdoctoral workstation; 2001 in order to adapt to the product development with the world standards, 16 professional refrigeration and air conditioning to develop a standard, and has been higher authorities approved, started in 2002 to discuss the new industry standard, 8. All this indicates that the industry wide technological progress, technological innovation has been more attention, not only launched a products with independent intellectual property rights, but also develop their own technical staff, for future climb a new production technology summit for the reserve personnel. Also the enterprises make great efforts of system reform and the adjustment of product structure, to promote the development of productivity and improve product technology content and product quality, more to improve the product market share, exports in 2001 amounted to 80.9 billion yuan ($10 billion), up 27.8% over the previous year.

     According to the November 12 this year, the world economic forum published 2002 annual global competitiveness report shows, China's economic competitiveness ranking significantly improved. By 2001 the 39th rose to No. 33, which fully shows the improved Chinese business environment effect is obvious. But in all the assessment indicators reflect the technology of individual indicators, but from the fifty-third down to sixty-third place. Experts say this is mainly because China's purchase of patents in the number of patents per capita, per capita investment in information technology, the company and developed countries and some other developing countries have a larger gap. From an economic point of view, it is decided that the level of a country or industry should be the latest technology and innovation that it uses, and has nothing to do with the source of technology and innovation.. So although China independent innovation and technology independence than India, Brazil and other countries have been strong, but India, Brazil's enterprise consciously through technology patent license acquiring technology from foreign enterprises in China more than strong. China Refrigeration and air conditioning industry as a product manufacturing superpower status has been established, but we are also faced with the plight of the technology development, industry innovation system has not formed pattern under the situation of market economy, still exist in the scientific research and production out of touch, due to the lack of direct service to the production of intermediate technology. At the same time, we from the view of industry deeper experience to companies in our industry as the main position of technological innovation are not fully established. This should be the main direction that we will drive industry technology progress in the future.

II.2001-2002 years (1-9) industry state

     2001 is the first year of China formally joined WTO, is the first year of the implementation of the fifteen plan, but also a year of continuous and stable development of machinery industry enterprise production and management. 2002 began to make new progress in the restructuring of the industry, the industry's economic performance to further improve the economy, a substantial increase in the economy. From the indicators show that the national machinery industry, refrigeration and air conditioning industry production and economic benefit are among the best, following with 2001-2002 refrigeration and air conditioning industry, corporate annual reports, quarterly summary information, make a brief summary on the production and management situation of the 2001-2002 industry:

(a) 2001-2002 (1-9 month) the total industry output and sales of industrial output and other indicators of change:

Industrial and commercial refrigeration air conditioning field:

     In 2001, China Refrigeration and air conditioning industry association of refrigeration and air conditioning industry, industrial and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and ancillary equipment other refrigeration products, gross industrial output value (current price) 282.9 million yuan, the 2000 census data for 203.2 billion yuan, in 2001 and in 2000 an increase of 39.2%.
     From January to September 2002, from statistics to enterprises mainly summary of industrial and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning industry total output value of the scale of about 250 billion, the contrast in 2001 the same industrial enterprises throughout the year total output value of the first three quarters, total industrial output value of the first three quarters of 2002 and 2001 annual industrial output value flat growth trend is very obvious, is expected to grow 18%.

Domestic air conditioning field:
    From January to August 2002, sales of major air conditioning manufacturers of air conditioning products about 2563 million units around, the scale of the income from sales about 600 billion yuan, than in 2001 the same period of the product, sales and income have obvious growth trend, which significantly increased the amount of reflected in export growth, for about $10 billion. At the same time, it is worth noting that the amount of product inventory is also obvious.

(b) 2001-2002 (1-9 month) industry product market changes
    In order to provide to the enterprises of the "barometer", association of industry, the main product market conditions change of year longitudinal study, from the recorded data to observe the changes in the market demand for products with annual and, as well as production enterprise of business development. According to data statistics, the following product changes between 2001-2002 (1-9) are briefly introduced for reference.
1.Refrigeration, air conditioning compressor:
Piston type refrigeration compressor

   Compared with 2001 and 2000 piston type refrigeration compressor sales, which opened in a downward trend, semi closed slightly increased; compared to the same period in 2001 and 2002 (1-9) enterprises, most of the enterprise product sales were modest decline, but Shanghai Hezhong open growth significantly.

Screw refrigeration compressor
   Comparison of screw refrigeration compressor, in 2001 than in 2000 increased by 80%, 2002 1-9 month main production enterprise sales volume has reached around 1618, has more than sales in the year 2001, the increase is still more than 50%, shows the growing demand for the product. 2001 domestic compressor output, sales and 2000 sales contrast.

Hermetic refrigerator compressor:

    The refrigerator with the development of fully enclosed refrigeration compressor began in 1980s early, due to the rapid rise of the refrigerator industry, combined with the time the compressor inlet restricted, so many foreign companies have come to China to invest and set up factories, set off an upsurge. 2001 industry wide statistics summary display the year enterprise total sales of 11977478 and Taiwan, and 2000 with a slight growth, is expected to 2002 the domestic production capacity and 2001 is basically flat.

Fully enclosed air compressor:
    2001, according to industry statistics summary display, 2001 domestic production enterprises of the total sales for 17270912, and 2000 with a slight growth, is expected in 2002 domestic enterprises total production capacity of flat in 2001.

2.Central air-conditioning units:
    Central air conditioning units are the main piston water chiller, screw chiller, centrifugal chillers, lithium bromide units, air-cooled chiller, business unit type air conditioner and so on.

(1) Piston type chiller:
    2001 Association summary total domestic production enterprises of the total volume of 2494 units, compared with the same period in 2000 fell by 38%, some of the production companies may have shifted to other fast growth rate products. 2002 1-9 month part of enterprise statistics show total sales of 926, enterprises are also in the 2001 annual sales of 1405 Taiwan can see continued to decline in the trend, and the manufacturer constitutes no major changes.

(2) Screw chiller:
    Screw chillers and production enterprises are relatively more of a product, in 2001 the industry total 34 production enterprises reported such products, the statistics of domestic production enterprises of the total sales volume for 3846, and in 2000 an increase of 26%. 2002 1-9 from the statistical enterprise sales estimate 2002 annual output will grow more than 2001, the growth rate will remain at around 25%.
(3) Centrifugal chiller:
    Centrifugal chiller in 2001 and 2000, an increase of 40% for 674 units. 2002 1-9 statistics of the major companies sold more than 600 units, the annual growth is expected to exceed 20%.

(4) Lithium bromide absorption chiller:
A.The steam / water LiBr chiller:
   2001 statistics of the total domestic production enterprises total sales of the same period in 2000 increased slightly. It is explained that the production quantity of this kind of product can meet the market demand in the past two years, no new enterprise intervention.

B.Direct fired LiBr chiller:
   2001 statistical data shows the direct fired LiBr absorption chiller change is one of the major characteristics, 200kW following products production and sales in the proportion is growing very fast. From 2001, product classification summary table can be seen below the 200 kW direct fired LiBr absorption chiller domestic production enterprises of total sales accounted for more than 43% of the total sales of such products. In 2001, domestic production enterprises in the industry wide total sales for 2463, with 2000 an increase of 26%, and growth of products all products of small refrigerating capacity and refrigeration capacity products production and sales have declined, indicating that small refrigeration capacity of direct fired LiBr absorption chiller has begun to small batch into small central air conditioning system. Is expected in 2002 the size of the market and 2001 flat.
