China Welding and Cutting Equipment Industry Production & Marketing Demand and Transformation & Upgrading Analysis Report

Welding and cutting refers to a manufacture technology which cutting or welding the materials and with a functioning structure. The welding and cutting technology has developed from the simple processing technology to a modern new subject which combine many subjects and advancing technologies of computer, digital control, information processing, automation, modern power electronic technology.

Since the over 30 years of reform and opening-up, along with the maturity of China socialist market economy, China welding and cutting industry develops rapidly. Especially since the late 1990s, a bunch of new welding and cutting equipment manufacturers continuously increase the welding and cutting equipment manufacturing technique by self-innovation and perfecting marketing channels. There are about 900 welding and cutting equipment manufacturers in China, among which there are 400 inverter welding and cutting equipment manufacturing corporations. Some well-known foreign companies start to establish factories in China, such as Lincoln, Miller, and Panasonic.

There are abundant welding and cutting equipment corporations in China. However, most of them with weak development capability that the only way to grasp more market share is extending simple reproduction. The overcapacity is serious for China welding and cutting equipment manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, the low development and production capacity for special products especially the high-end special welding machine and complete welding equipment leads to non-mass production or not poor quality comparing with the import products. The market share of import products is about 55%. China corporations are hardly to compete with the foreign-owned corporations in the high-end product market which with a high profit rate. Moreover, the proportion to China inverter welding and cutting equipment is as low as about 28% while it is about 60% to 70% to developed countries. With the higher requirement of “environmental protection and energy saving”, welding and cutting equipment application corporations will pay more attention to the energy saving and environmental friendly features of welding and cutting equipments. The development opportunities to inverter welding and cutting equipment are better that the application range will be wilder while the usage proportion will increase steadily.

There is a close relationship between the welding and cutting equipment demand and steel production. China steel production has increased from 0.129 billion tons in 2000 to 0.626 billion tons in 2010, among which the welding and cutting oriented steel takes about 40% to 50%. Such proportion in industrial developed countries is 60% to 70%. It can be referred from the data that there is a bigger development space for China welding and cutting oriented steel.

According to China national economic development target by 2020 and China welding and cutting industry development trend, proportion of welding and cutting oriented steel in China will reach 60% in next 5 to 10 years. At that time production of China crude steel will be about 0.8 to 1 billion tons. It means that China welding and cutting amount will double and the productivity effect as well as labor will in great need. Therefore, the industry will maintain a fast growth trend in the next 5 to 10 years.

In spite of this, named as “steel sewing machine”, the welding and cutting equipment is the most basic processing equipment to modern industry. The fast development of the downstream industries provides driving force for the industry future development. The growing China economy and accelerating modernization, industrialization and urbanization will create great steel demand for industries which related to national economy, such as shipbuilding, building, petroleum pipeline, auto and railway. It will bring about advantages to the development of welding and cutting equipment industry. And view from the downstream demand, the industry basically covers the national economy in all range. With the rapid development of China national economy, the welding and cutting equipment industry will fast develop.

As the competition of welding and cutting equipment industry is fiercer, the domestic outstanding welding and cutting equipment corporations pay more and more attention to the industry market research, especially the in-depth research of product consumers. Because of this, a large number of excellent domestic welding and cutting equipment brands rise up rapidly, and gradually become a leader in welding and cutting equipment industry!
