Relevant experts pointed out that according to the development trend of China's air-conditioning and other related industries, the Chinese copper pipe market has hidden business opportunities despite the vicissitudes. The next 10 years will be an important period for the development of China's copper pipe industry. In addition, the alliance, reorganization, and restructuring among enterprises will become the trend of industry development, and entering overseas markets will become an inevitable choice for enterprise development. China's copper pipe industry has achieved a qualitative leap. According to expert analysis, copper pipe is one of the fastest-growing products in China's copper processing materials production. In 2002, China's copper pipe production was close to 1/5 of the world's total copper pipe production. However, based on the 27 million air-conditioning production in China in 2002, the consumption of ordinary internal threaded copper pipes alone reached 54,000 tons.
Therefore, if China's air-conditioning output reaches 30.5 million units in 2005, the consumption of ordinary internal threaded copper pipes will be close to 92,000 tons. Therefore, industry experts believe that the next 10 years will be an important period for the development of China's copper pipe industry. The output of China's copper pipes will increase at an average annual rate of 5%. %. According to the Copper Pipe Examination Department of the China Industrial Products Production License Office, there are currently 260 companies that have submitted applications for copper pipe production licenses. Based on this calculation, there should be about 300 copper pipe manufacturers in China.
According to the analysis of the latest data from CRU, China has become the second largest copper pipe production and consumption country in the world after the United States. In 2002, the production and consumption of copper pipes reached 460,000 tons and 481,000 tons respectively. Year-on-year, the growth rates were as high as 15% and 10%, respectively. If calculated according to the average annual growth rate of 8%, the total consumption of copper pipes in China will reach 560,000 tons and 820,000 tons in 2005 and 2010, respectively, which shows that the copper pipe market in China is extremely broad. After a series of technological transformation and scale expansion in the past 10 years, the production of copper coils in China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the output and quality have made a historic leap, basically reaching the world's advanced level.
According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of 2002, China's copper coil production capacity was about 300,000 tons, ranking first in the world; the current actual production of copper coils is about 120,000 tons, of which the internal thread coil is about 60,000 tons. Not only can it meet the needs of the Chinese market, but also some of them are exported overseas. Strong demand for high-efficiency heat-dissipating copper pipes In recent years, in addition to the decline in the production of copper pipes in western countries and the crackdown on smuggling, China's air-conditioner manufacturing industry has grown rapidly, creating an excellent environment for the production of copper coils in China. opportunity.
