The Reason for Fierce Valve Competition in China

Valve is a product with low margin, but its market is very competitive in China.

In terms of the distribution on the valve market, it is mainly based on the construction of project. Valves are mainly used for petrochemical industry, power sector, metallurgy sector, chemical industry and urban construction department. The main applications of petrochemical industry are API standard gate valves, globe valves and check valves. High pressure power station gate valves, globe valves, check valves and safety valves and drain valve parts to the low-pressure valve, a gate valve is mainly used in electricity sectors. And stainless steel gate valves, globe valves and check valves are mainly used in chemical industry. And low voltage large diameter butterfly valves, ball valves and oxygen valves are mainly used in metallurgical industry. Low pressure valves such as urban water use of large diameter pipe main gate valves, urban heating mainly metal sealing butterfly valves are mainly used in urban construction sectors. Pipeline flat gate valves and ball valves are mainly used in oil pipelines. Stainless steel ball valves are mainly used in pharmaceutical industry. Stainless steel ball valves are mainly used in the food industry. 

Valves are used a lot in the water treatment industry. The low-pressure valve products such as butterfly valve, gate valve and check valve are mainly used. It is reported that there is a certain scale of the valve enterprises on the market, which is more than 2,000 enterprises. Most of them are located in Jiangsu Provice, China, Zhejiang Province, China and central plains area in China. As the product has relatively low technical requirements, the competition is more competitive. 

On the one hand, China valve products are facing good opportunities for development. With the development of oil fields and transfer of offshore fields, the thermal power in power industry, hydropower and nuclear power development, the valve product also need to change its performance and parameters based on changes in the corresponding device applications. Generally, a large number of low-pressure valves are used in urban systems. And it tends to have development directions of environmentally friendly and energy-saving types. However, it is gradually shifted to environment-friendly plastic sheet valves, balance valves, metal sealed butterfly valves and center line seal butterfly valves. Oil and gas pipelines require a lot of flat gate valves and ball valves. From the perspective of energy conservation, the steam trap needs to be developed in the development directions of subcritical and supercritical high parameters.
