The China screw compressor market is a specific sector of Chinese Industry that manufactures sells and uses screw compressor. Screw compressors utilize two interlocking helical rotors, which allows for greater efficiency in compressing air than traditional piston type compressors. Additionally, they produce a continuous supply of compressed air and have increased stability and maintenance costs than traditional methods of production. The screw compressor market provides bases of support to the overall Industry's machinery and automation infrastructure. It supports the existing manufacturing based infrastructures as well as supports the newer automated industrial operations being implemented in China.

 

The screw compressor in China are backed by government support, including the 14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, aimed to sets ambitious targets to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by 13.5 % from 2020 levels by 2025. China aims to cut energy usage per unit of industrial value-added output by 13.5% by 2025 compared with 2020 baselines, reflecting a policy environment that prioritises energy-saving machinery and technologies. This statistic underscores why energy-efficient industrial equipment like modern screw compressors are in higher demand, as manufacturers seek to comply with national targets while reducing operating costs.

 

As technology advances, Chinese screw compressor providers are now using more energy-efficient and ecologically friendly compressed air systems to develop technologically advanced variable speed drive systems that can adjust the motor's speed according to the actual compressed air requirement at any given time, thereby reducing waste. The trend developing now is moving to install IoT-enabled compressors that incorporate sensor technologies and cloud connectivity to access remote monitoring tools, enabling real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance of compressors, and improving overall productivity of compressors based on the digitalisation goals of Industry 4.0.
