China's screw pump industry

In the past decade, the pace of China's screw pump industry going global has significantly accelerated, and it is transforming from a 'cost dependent export' to a 'technology brand dual drive' global new paradigm. In terms of export scale, the export volume of screw pump products reached 233000 units in 2021, with an export value of 232 million yuan, an increase of 63.0% compared to 2020. The market expansion presents diversification, with products sold to over 180 countries and regions worldwide. Uzbekistan is the largest destination in terms of quantity (accounting for 13.28%), while Japan is the highest market in terms of amount. With the 'the Belt and Road' initiative, the leading enterprises represented by Shanghai Kaiquan and Nanfang Pump have rapidly penetrated emerging markets in Africa and Central Asia through cost-effective products and local service capabilities. By 2025, the market share of single screw pump in Central Asia has exceeded 40%. Faced with challenges such as increased US tariffs, companies are accelerating the restructuring of their global supply chains, adopting a 'regional manufacturing center+localized production' model, and promoting product upgrades towards intelligence and high added value. They are shifting from simply exporting equipment to providing full lifecycle solutions to break through barriers in the high-end market.
