Electromagnetic valve has a broad market at home and abroad

From the perspective of sales flow of refrigerator solenoid valves from 2010 to 2012, the domestic sales market has always occupied a dominant position. Despite the continuous maturation of domestic electromagnetic valve technology, sales of overseas exports have increased, but the share of the export market has not changed significantly. However, for the future development trend of refrigerator solenoid valves, many people in the industry are still full of expectations and optimism.

As an important throttling element of the refrigerator, the solenoid valve plays a role of converting refrigerant flow in a refrigerator refrigeration system, and is mainly used in a computer temperature-controlled refrigerator. At present, electromagnetic valves for refrigerators are divided into two-position three-way solenoid valves and two-state solenoid valves. Compared with the two-position three-way solenoid valves, the two-position three-way solenoid valve can accurately control the temperature, but it is an old generation product after all. , It is driven by voltage, has the disadvantages of large power consumption, high consumption of raw materials, large internal leakage, poor reliability, high noise, passive cooling, etc., while the bi-stable solenoid valve as a new generation of products, in addition to the same accurate temperature Outside the control, because it is driven by pulses, it has many advantages such as low power consumption, saving material cost, low internal leakage, high versatility of refrigerant, and low noise. Therefore, at present, the bistable electromagnetic valve has long been the absolute mainstream in the refrigerator market.

Despite the large number of refrigerator manufacturers in the country, there are not many enterprises that really produce high-end refrigerator products, mainly in foreign capital and several major domestic brands such as Haier, Midea, Siemens, Hisense Kelon, Meiling, and LG. Due to the relatively small downstream production layout, the market capacity of the refrigerator solenoid valve is also limited. The domestic refrigerator solenoid valve market is relatively stable. The competition of refrigerator solenoid valves is mainly concentrated between Sanhua and Kangyuan. According to statistics, the combined market share of the two accounts for 85% of the overall market. In recent years, Sanhua’s investment in the refrigerator solenoid valve has never stopped, and its own technical transformation project has progressed smoothly. In addition, the German solenoid valve company acquired has been transferred to the domestic market and its production capacity has increased significantly, while its sales volume is also increasing year by year. Ascended, market share has risen to more than 40%. In contrast, Kangyuan, as a veteran manufacturer of solenoid valves, was not able to compete with its rivals in terms of capacity expansion or market development. Currently, it has strategically faded away from its Japanese customers and has made every effort to prevent the traditional customer market. In the refrigerator solenoid valve market, after a fierce battle, the rivals of the refrigerators are each sticking to their traditional customer base, and the competition between them has stabilized.

With regard to the future development trend of the refrigerator solenoid valve, many people in the industry are still full of expectations and optimism. First of all, in terms of downstream demand, although the refrigerator industry is affected by the global economic downturn, it is still difficult to restore the momentum of rapid growth in the short term, and may be in a certain period of time. Intrinsic trough consolidation, but with the country's determination of energy strategies, and a series of energy-saving subsidies for home appliances introduced and implemented in succession, the growing trend of the proportion of energy-saving refrigerators market will be overwhelming, so it will further stimulate the market demand for solenoid valves .

Although the solenoid valve is not the only optional control element for the energy-saving refrigerator to control the flow of the refrigerant, and the electric switch valve has obvious cost advantages in the large-capacity refrigerator system, the application of the electric switch valve in the domestic market has just started, especially for domestic Valve manufacturers still need to test the technical stability, so the short-term solenoid valve will still be the first choice of domestic energy-saving refrigerator control components, in the next few years, the solenoid valve industry is expected to continue to grow at a steady rate of 15% -18%.

From the analysis of refrigerator solenoid valve exports, Europe and North America are still the main demand markets, accounting for about 60% and 30% of the total exports of refrigerator solenoid valves. The Southeast Asian market has only a few members. Although Southeast Asia has a higher overall demand for refrigerators, except for a few countries and regions, the demand for high-end refrigerator products is relatively weak in most countries, and high-end refrigerators in this region are also relatively weak. The Japanese leading manufacturers of the products are totally different from the domestic companies in regard to the throttling of refrigerants. The technology itself is more focused on the electric switching valve, and the proportion of solenoid valves is relatively low, which greatly restricts the solenoid valve. Demand. Although the demand for solenoid valves for refrigerators in overseas countries is relatively small, the development of high-end energy-saving electrical products will be greatly promoted in the future as the standards of energy policies in Europe and the United States increase. It can be seen that the demand for solenoid valves in Europe and the United States will remain strong. Look good.
