Development Status and Good Market Prospects of Drying Equipment in China

Drying equipment is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and forestry specialty products, grain, light industry and other fields, and is a widely used universal mechanical product with a large quantity. At present, the conventional drying equipment required by domestic and foreign markets can be manufactured by China itself, indicating that the situation of relying on imported drying equipment in China has ended.

At present, the drying equipment in China has reached80%Above. estimated“fifteen”During this period, domestic drying equipment will reach90%Above, the focus of competition is mainly on product quality, technological level, after-sales service, and price. In the next few years, the demand for drying equipment in China will significantly increase in the following areas.

Small drying equipment used for drying rice and wheat in the field of grain drying（5t/hThe annual demand is expected to reach around a thousand units; The annual demand for chemical drying equipment will reach3000Platform (set) left and right; The annual demand for pharmaceutical drying equipment will reach3000Platform (set) left and right; The annual demand for drying equipment for agricultural and forestry specialty products will reach2000Platform (set) left and right; The annual demand for drying equipment in light industry will reach2000On both sides of the table (set).

In terms of drying equipment types, hot air heating atmospheric pressure drying equipment and vacuum drying equipment will be the main ones, and users in other special fields such as far-infrared drying equipment and microwave drying equipment will gradually expand their application quantity; In terms of food and drug drying, the demand for larger specification equipment in vacuum freeze drying equipment will increase; The demand for equipment with functional combinations such as granulation drying and drying filtration will also increase; High automation drying equipment will be popular in some application fields. In addition, the appearance quality of drying equipment will be increasingly valued, and the corrosion resistance and reliable service life of corrosive material drying equipment will be of special concern to users.

China's accessionWTOSubsequent facts have proven that the development of the domestic drying equipment industry presents both challenges and opportunities. In terms of the domestic market, due to the fact that China's drying equipment industry has entered a relatively mature stage of development and can better meet the actual needs of users in various fields, the price is only one-third of the same foreign products, which gives China's drying equipment a significant price advantage over imported equipment in market competition; On the other hand, due to the large size of drying equipment, most of them also involve on-site installation, debugging, and after-sales service issues. Therefore, for domestic users, choosing domestic equipment is more convenient than choosing imported equipment. In terms of the market, China's accessionWTOLater, it is more conducive to expanding the export of drying equipment. At present, the main drying equipment products exported by China are vacuum drying equipment, vibration drying equipment, and drying equipment for small and medium-sized grain, food, and agricultural and forestry specialty products. The main export regions are Southeast Asia and other developing countries, and the door to the European and American markets has been opened. At present, the export products of drying equipment in China account for less than the total amount of domestically produced drying equipment5%Experts predict'fifteen'During this period, the proportion of exported products in the total amount of domestic drying equipment will reach10%Above.

In competition, the main competitors of drying equipment manufacturers in China are Denmark, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Japan. Compared with competitors, the advantage of drying equipment in China is its low price, while its shortcomings mainly lie in the need to further improve the automation control level, appearance quality, completeness, and functional combination of the products.

The variety of drying equipment produced in our country is increasing day by day, the scope of application is constantly expanding, the level and quality of products are rapidly improving, and the market competitiveness is constantly enhancing. Especially, the Chinese government has introduced various policies to support product exports, creating favorable external conditions for domestic drying equipment manufacturers. This indicates that the development prospects of drying equipment in China are promising.
