The sales volume of four-way valves (four-way reversing valves) continues to grow, and the concentration of the mainland industry is relatively high
A four-way valve, also known as a four-way reversing valve, refers to a multi-way valve that can control the flow of fluid in four different directions. The four-way valve has the advantages of simple structure, high flexibility, stable operation and low resistance, and has broad application prospects in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, petrochemical industry, power system, food processing, industrial control, etc.
The main materials of four-way valves include metal copper, stainless steel, cast aluminum, cast steel, cast iron, polymer materials, etc. Copper metal is widely used in the production process of four-way valves, and has the advantages of small thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal conductivity, long service life and corrosion resistance. With the advancement of technology, the production of copper in the mainland continues to grow. According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the mainland's refined copper output will reach 12.988 million tons in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 13.5%. The advantages of raw materials will lay a good foundation for the development of the four-way valve industry in the mainland.
There are many types of four-way valves. According to the different modes of action, the four-way valve can be divided into manual four-way valve, hydraulic four-way valve, electric four-way valve, pneumatic four-way valve and hydraulic proportional four-way valve, etc.; according to the size of the diameter, it can be divided into partial four-way valve and positive four-way valve; according to the different structures, it can be divided into angle four-way valve and straight-through four-way valve. In the future, with the growth of demand for the application of subdivided products, the prosperity of the mainland four-way valve industry will be improved.
Four-way valves have broad application prospects in many fields, and the automobile manufacturing field is its largest demand side. Four-way valves, electronic expansion valves and globe valves are known as the three major valves of air conditioners, which are mainly used in the thermal management system of new energy vehicles. In recent years, with the acceleration of the development of the new energy vehicle industry, the sales of four-way valves in mainland China have continued to grow. According to the "2024-2029 Four-way Valve (Four-way Reversing Valve) Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report" released by the New Thinking Industry Research Center, the sales volume of four-way valves in mainland China will exceed 15,000 in 2023, creating a record high.
The concentration of the four-way valve industry in mainland China is relatively high, and the leading enterprises occupy a dominant position in the market. Sanhua Intelligent Control and DunAn Environment are the leading enterprises of four-way valves in mainland China, of which DunAn Environment occupies nearly 50% of the market. DunAn Environment focuses on the R&D, production and sales of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, refrigeration accessories and core components of thermal management of new energy vehicles, with mass production capabilities of valves such as four-way valves, globe valves, electronic expansion valves and solenoid valves. According to the semi-annual report of DunAn Environmental Enterprise, in the first half of 2023, the company's automotive thermal management products will achieve revenue of 140 million yuan.
Industry analysts said that four-way valves are widely used in many fields, and their market demand will further increase in the future with the improvement of the prosperity of the new energy vehicle industry. Benefiting from the increase in the supply of raw materials, the output of four-way valves in mainland China has continued to increase. In terms of market competition, the concentration of the four-way valve industry in mainland China is relatively high, and DunAn Environment, as a leading enterprise, has the production strength of high-performance products.
