China Welding and Cutting Equipment Industry Production & Marketing Demand and Investment Forecast Report

Major characteristics of this report are forward-looking and timeliness. Base on the forward-looking analysis of massive research data, we further analyze the development scale and competitive landscape of welding and cutting equipment industry. Along with the industry development route and our practical experience, we analyze and predict the future development prospect of welding and cutting equipment industry. This report is of a high value for enterprises like welding and cutting equipment manufacturers, R&D institutions, sales corporations and investment corporations to accurately know the latest industry development trend, and obtain market opportunities and determine an insightful operation strategy and development direction. In the meantime, it is the first heavy weight report to analyze the up/down-stream industry chain and industry leading corporations of welding and cutting equipment industry in an overall and systemic way.

Welding and cutting refers to the manufacturing technology which makes materials with given functional structure by cutting and linking. The welding and cutting technology has developed from single processing technology into a comprehensive engineering technology and a new subject with an integration of modern multi-subjects like computer, digital controlling, information settlement, automation, modern power-electronic technology and others.

Since the reform and opening-up for more than 30 years, China’s welding and cutting industry obtains a significant development along with the further mature socialist market economy. And especially since late 1990s, the independent innovational ideologies and gradually complete marketing channels of numerous new welding and cutting equipment manufacturers continuously improve the manufacturing technology of welding and cutting equipment. In current China there are about 900 welding and cutting equipment manufacturers, among which there are about 400 inverter welding and cutting equipment manufacturers and part of them are well-known foreign corporations who establish factories in China, such as Lincoln, Miller, and Panasonic, etc.

Among the abundant welding and cutting equipment corporations, most of them with weak development ability that they can only seize the market share by expanding simple reproduction. The production capacity is severely surplus. For the special products especially the high-end special welder and welding and cutting equipment, the development and production ability is relatively low that can hardly afford the mass produce or provide the quality as good as that of the import products. Therefore, the import products take a market share of about 55%. And in the high-end product market with high profit, Chinese corporations can hardly compete with foreign-owned corporations. Furthermore, the proportion of inverter welding and cutting equipment in China is relatively low, which is about 28% while that of the average level in developed countries is 60-70%. Along with the higher and higher requirement of “environmental protection and energy saving”, the welding and cutting equipment users will pay more and more attention to the environmental protection and energy saving features of the equipments. Consequently, inverter welding and cutting equipments with optimistic opportunities that the application range will be wider and wider, and the using proportion will increase steadily.

The demand of welding and cutting equipment closely relates to the steel output. China’s steel output has rapidly increased from 0.129 billion tons in 2000 to 0.626 billion tons in 2010. The welding-oriented steel accounted for about 40-50% while the proportion was 60-70% in developed industrial countries. The welding-oriented steel in China with a relatively large development space.

According to the overall requirement of 2020 national economic development and the development trend of China’s welding and cutting industry, it is predicted that the proportion of welding-oriented steel output to total steel output will reach 60% in next 5 to 10 years. Then the crude steel output in China will be about 0.8-1.0 billion tons which means that the welding-oriented steel output will double. It will create a considerable demand to welding and cutting production efficiency and labor. Accordingly, the welding and cutting equipment industry will maintain a fast growth in next 5 to 10 years.

Besides, the welding and cutting equipment is regarded as “steel sewing machine”. It is the most fundamental processing equipment in modern industry. The fast development of welding and cutting downstream industry provides driving force to the future development of the industry. Along with the constantly growing national economy and fastening modernization, industrialization and urbanization in the future, a strong demand for steel will be created by significant projects which relate to national economy such as ship-building, construction, petroleum pipeline, auto and railway. It brings advantages to the development of welding and cutting equipment industry. And if we take a view of the downstream industry demand, we will find that the welding and cutting equipment industry has fundamentally covered national economy in all ranges. With the fast growth of national economy, it will contribute to the rapid development of welding and cutting equipment industry.

As the industry competition is fiercer and fiercer, many industry giants establish factories in China and enhance the investment in China. Moreover, the merger and capital operation to large-scale welding and cutting equipment corporations are frequent. Accordingly, the outstanding domestic 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, then gradually become leading corporations in welding and cutting equipment industry!

With Forward’s the long-term tracking and collecting market data of welding and cutting equipment industry, we roundly and accurately analyze the structure system for you from the view of mastering the whole industry. This report will base on the macro condition of current welding and cutting equipment industry, production and marketing condition, industry demand trend of auto industry, then detailed analyzes the current market capability, market scale, development speed and competitive landscape of China welding and cutting equipment industry.

Major characteristics of this report are forward-looking and timeliness.
