To meet the needs of the expanding international air separation market, after more than one year of planning, NUZHUO Group’s super intelligent air separation unit plant will be completed in FUYANG(HANGZHOU,CHINA). The project covers an area of 30,000 square meters, planning three large air separation production workshops and two small air separation parts production workshops. The company’s original TONGLU(HANGZHOU,CHINA) production base (covering an area of 14,000 square meters) will be upgraded to PSA production workshop, liquid nitrogen generators production workshop and gas booster compressor production workshop. After the completion of the layout, NUZHUO will become one of the few super manufacturing enterprises in China with the full industrial chain of air separation.
The construction of the “Belt and Road” has provided a broader market space for China’s air separation enterprises, promoted the international cooperation and competitiveness of China’s air separation enterprises, and promoted the innovative development of China’s air separation enterprises. With the deepening of cooperation in co-building the country, the strong demand in infrastructure construction, resource development and other fields has brought more business opportunities for China’s air separation enterprises. These enterprises can rely on their own technology and product advantages to meet market demand and expand market space. By participating in national project cooperation, air separation enterprises can learn from international advanced experience and technology, and improve their international level and international image. At the same time, the establishment of long-term and stable cooperative relations with partners in co-building countries will also help enhance the international competitiveness of enterprises. In the face of the diversified market demand and resource and environmental conditions of the co-construction country, air separation enterprises need to constantly innovate technology, products and service models to adapt to market changes and improve market competitiveness.
The demand for air separation unit in the vast number of developing countries is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Growth in market size:
Developing countries are experiencing rapid industrialization and urbanization, which has promoted the growth of demand for air separation unit. According to the forecast of China Business Industry Research Institute, the market size of China’s air separation unit will increase to 47.87 billion yuan in 2024, which reflects the growing trend of global demand for air separation unit, especially in developing countries.
Infrastructure construction:
Developing countries have a large demand for air separation unit in the infrastructure construction of transportation, energy, chemical industry and other fields. Air separation unit, as the core unit for the production of “industrial blood” – industrial gas, plays an important role in steel, metallurgy, fertilizer, petrochemical and other industries.
Development of energy and chemical industry:
With the rapid development of the energy and chemical industries in developing countries, the demand for air separation unit is also increasing. Air separation unit can separate industrial gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, providing the necessary raw materials for these industries.
Improvement of technical level:
Developing countries have gradually increased their requirements for the technical level of air separation unit, especially in terms of large-scale and super-large-scale. With the continuous innovation of technology, the competitiveness of China’s air separation unit enterprises in the international market is also constantly improving, providing more high-quality choices for developing countries.
Trade surplus and export market:
According to the data of the General Administration of Customs of China, the import and export of China’s air separation unit market presents a large trade surplus, which shows that China’s air separation unit has a strong market competitiveness in developing countries. The export market is mainly dominated by other oxygen generators with oxygen production less than 15,000nm3/h which reflects the greater demand for such air separation unit in developing countries.
Increase the profit level:
With the increasing demand for air separation unit in developing countries, the order volume of China’s air separation enterprises continues to expand, and the profit level is rising year by year. This has provided more financial support for China’s air separation enterprises, enabling them to further increase research and development efforts, improve product quality and service levels.
To sum up, the demand for air separation unit in developing countries is mainly reflected in the growth of market size, infrastructure construction, the development of energy and chemical industry, the improvement of technical level, trade surplus and export market and the improvement of profit level. These demands provide a broad market space and development opportunities for China’s air separation enterprises.
