<March Special edition>
1. World Compressor Market 2018 - OVERVIEW
The compressor is the most critical component in AC&R systems. As competition intensifies, the market is increasingly concentrated in a few large companies, and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have increased. With revolutionary breakthroughs in electronic technology, inverter control and new materials now widely applied in compressors, compressor technology has been raised to a new level. The expansion of the AC&R market has intensified the environmental issues. Although the pace of implementing alternative refrigerants seems to be inconsistent from one country or region to another, every country is trying to solve the environmental and energy-saving issues. Compressors of different types, different applications, or in different regions will use different types of refrigerants, creating complexity for compressor manufacturers.

2. ROTARY
The global rotary compressor market amounted to 195.9 million units, indicating 4.1% year-on-year growth in 2018. The rotary compressor market scale in 2018 by region amounted to 141.7 million units in China, 18.5 million units in Southeast Asia, 4.8 million units in India, 3.6 million units in Japan, 2.0 million units in the Middle East, 2.4 million units in Brazil, 2.2 million units in Europe, and 1.5 million units in the United States.

3. SCROLL
Scroll compressors benefit from a big opportunity created by higher demand for air conditioning systems such as PACs, chillers and VRFs as well as heat pumps and refrigeration equipment. There was little growth in the global scroll compressor market in 2018. However, demand for scroll compressors in North America is very strong, driven by 6.5% growth in the U.S. unitary air conditioner market, and the good performances of the PAC and chiller markets. North America continues to lead the global scroll compressor market. China, the world’s second-largest commercial air conditioning market, experienced significant slowdowns, hindering the growth of the scroll compressor market.

4. SCREW
The screw compressor market was stagnant. In the air conditioning field, the two major markets in China and Europe are in a downturn due to competition from both parallel scroll compressor units and magnetic-bearing centrifugal units. However, the screw compressor market for medium- and low-temperature applications is rapidly growing in China and Asia. Excluding the amount of in-house self-supply, the global screw compressor market amounted to 116,000 units in 2018. The Chinese, the U.S., and the European markets increased by 0.6%, 2.2%, and 1.1%, respectively. The Indian market has attracted numerous overseas manufacturers, and Southeast Asia saw economic growth. These factors have boosted demand for screw compressors in these areas.

5. CENTRIFUGAL
The world market scale for centrifugal compressors is estimated to have reached 19,000 units in 2018,
a year-on-year increase of 2.6%, thanks to the rapid development of the magnetic-bearing market. China and the United States are the two largest centrifugal chiller markets, and production is also concentrated in these two countries. The leading U.S. manufacturers produce the majority of the compressors and chillers in the centrifugal market.
