With the development of China's valve industry, the variety of valves is constantly increasing, and there are also more and more industries that use valves, such as the petrochemical industry, refining industry, nuclear power industry, thermal power industry, etc., which are widely used. More and more industry applications also have new requirements for valves, with higher demands for valve quality and technology. Below, we will take a look at the development prospects of valves in various industries.
Petrochemical industry: The competition in the petrochemical industry has always been fierce, and the requirements for valve equipment are extremely strict. In the future, valves will cooperate with industrial automation to promote the overall level of valve equipment and develop multifunctional, efficient, and low consumption petrochemical valve equipment. The annual output value of China's petrochemical enterprises is in the billions, which indicates that there is a large valve market in China. We should consider from the perspective of market changes and ensure stable development.
Refining industry: After 60 years of development, China's refining industry has rapidly expanded its production scale. Driven by a series of policy measures, the output and production of China's refining industry continued to grow in 2010, and structural adjustments were gradually promoted, maintaining a good development momentum. In 2010, the refining industry achieved an output value of 2425.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38%. Therefore, it can also be seen that there is a huge market space for valve applications in China's refining industry.
Nuclear power industry: Valves, as the basic equipment of nuclear power equipment, account for approximately 5-10% of the capacity in this industry. China will continue its nuclear power development plan, with installed nuclear power capacity reaching 40GW and 75GW in 2015 and 2020 respectively. China will restart the approval of new nuclear power projects around mid-2012. So in this field, we need to constantly introduce new products and devices to meet market demand.
In addition, the construction industry and special industries require the use of valves. Valves have a wide range of applications and are widely used in many enterprises, which fully demonstrates the rapid development and promising prospects of valves.
