China's non-metallic mineral product processing equipment industry

The non-metallic mineral product processing equipment industry in China has undergone a profound transformation in the past decade, shifting from scale expansion to high-quality development. Driven by the 'dual carbon' goals and the '14th Five Year Plan' for industrial green development, the industry's energy efficiency standards have been significantly improved. The electricity consumption per unit product has been reduced from 95kWh/t to 62kWh/t, the dust emission limit has been tightened to below 10mg/m ³, and more than 3500 sets of old equipment have been phased out. The proportion of environmental protection supporting costs has increased to 21%. On the technical level, the market share of domestically produced high-end equipment has reached 68.5%. Core technologies such as airflow grinding, intelligent vertical grinding, AI energy efficiency optimization, and online particle size monitoring have achieved breakthroughs, increasing equipment production capacity by more than 30% and reducing comprehensive energy consumption by 15% -25%. The surge in demand for high-purity powders such as downstream new energy, photovoltaic glass, and lithium battery materials has driven the industry market size to grow from about 10 billion yuan in 2016 to 18.67 billion yuan in 2023, and is expected to exceed 23 billion yuan by 2026, with an average annual compound growth rate of 8.2%. Top enterprises such as Jiangsu Pengfei, Liming Heavy Industry, and Zhejiang Fengli are accelerating import substitution, but the overall capacity utilization rate of the industry is still low (67.67% in 2023), and small and medium-sized enterprises are facing declining profits and homogeneous competition pressure. Intelligence and digitization have become the core path, and applications such as 5G+unmanned mining cards, remote control systems, and smart mining platforms have been implemented in Jiaozuo and other places, promoting the transformation of 'reducing manpower, increasing safety, and improving efficiency'.
