Longyuan Electric shares with you: Analysis on the development status and trend of radiator industry in 2018, with large market scale and growth space

Xi'an Longyuan Electric Appliance Co.,Ltd.has passed the ISO9001 and iatf16949 quality management system certification.Xi'an Longyuan Electric Appliance Co.,Ltd.has also passed the gjb9001c military industry system certification.With professional production lines and high-precision testing equipment,it is a global supplier of ABB and Siemens.The company adopts CNC machine tools(33 sets)and friction stir welding(4 sets)technology,and two insulated soft copper bar production lines,specializing in the production of various liquid cooling radiators/water-cooling plates,radiators,insulated soft copper bars,copper aluminum soft connections,new energy motor housings,etc.The company is constantly committed to technological innovation and new product development,and its products are widely used in aerospace,aviation,ship,electric power,new energy,rail transit,automotive industry,etc.
Longyuan Electric shares with you:in April,2018,the school of materials of Tsinghua University successfully developed a CPU radiator based on porous copper microchannel materials.This research has overcome the key technologies such as batch short process key preparation process and stability control of lotus shaped porous copper with large size(diameter 100-200mm,height 200-250mm)and large aspect ratio(greater than 100),cold head welding of CPU heat dissipation engineering prototype and manufacturing of high thrust low-noise liquid metal driven pump,and completed the pilot research and development of CPU radiator based on Lotus shaped porous copper microchannel material,and realized demonstration application.
1、The industrial technology is highly active,and Taiwan is the main production area
Look forward to the number of patent applications in the radiator industry by searching on the patent information retrieval platform(http://www2.soopat.com/home/index)with the keyword"radiator".From 2010 to 2016,the number of patent applications related to radiators in China increased year by year,reaching 11818 in 2016,with a year-on-year increase of 10.55%,indicating a high degree of technological activity in the industry;In 2017,the number of radiator related patent applications was 8433,indicating that the overall technology of the industry has reached a certain maturity and entered a bottleneck period.

According to the analysis of the ranking list of radiator related patent applications,four subsidiaries of Taiwan Foxconn Technology Group occupy the top four places in the ranking list,with a total of 3568 radiator related patent applications,accounting for 3.49%.At present,the main production places of global radiators are located in Chinese Mainland and Taiwan,which is closely related to the global industrial division of labor.The downstream demand markets of radiators are mostly technology intensive industries,such as smart phone manufacturing and vehicle manufacturing;These enterprises often concentrate their resources and capabilities in the field of scientific research,and allocate the production and assembly of product parts abroad.The core competitiveness of these companies is also mostly reflected in technology.Chinese Mainland and Taiwan have a comparative advantage in assembly and production because of their location and industrial agglomeration,so there are a large number of radiator manufacturers,of which Taiwan manufacturers have an absolute competitive advantage in the field of computer radiators.
2、The market scale of the industry has increased year by year
Radiator is an indispensable part of power electronic components.Although power electronic components will continue to be upgraded with the development of technology,the demand for heat dissipation will not change.As long as the radiator industry can keep up with the development of power electronic components,and constantly make breakthrough innovations in heat dissipation materials and media,structures and processes,the life cycle of the industry will not have major fluctuations.
According to the analysis report on market demand and investment planning of China's radiator industry from 2018 to 2023,the market size of China's radiator industry reached 138.6 billion yuan in 2017,with a compound annual growth rate of 7.46%compared with 2011.

Moreover,judging from the gross profit rate of the products of the main listed companies in the radiator industry,the gross profit rate is between 20-40%,which is relatively high.It is prospectively judged that China's radiator industry is currently in a growth period.
3、The expansion of downstream applications will drive the further development of the industry
From the downstream application market,at present,radiators are mainly used in the fields of computers(including notebooks)and automobiles,which together account for about 70%of the total market size of the radiator industry,and 3C products,power supplies,led,ICT and other fields account for about 30%.
