Due to the late start of the mainland security light curtain; the terminal application industry as a whole is relatively backward; the end user security awareness is weak; the industrial security field lacks mandatory regulations, etc., the mainland security light curtain market presents the following characteristics:
1. In the current safety light curtain market, brand factor is one of the important factors in the industry competition. Enterprises with strong brand influence means taking the lead in the competition. For example, brands such as Shike and Keli are in a leading position in the industry due to the early entry into the industry and the high popularity of product brands. It is difficult for other companies to shake their positions in the short term. At the same time, price is another important factor affecting the purchase of customers. From the terminal market procurement bidding results, under the same product performance conditions, price has become a key factor to win. Many new companies entering the safety light curtain market are also mainly infiltrating the market by lowering the price strategy.
2. The safety light curtains applied in the mainland market are mainly grade 2 and below, including some regional sensors or photoelectric switches. The actual ratio of the 2nd and 4th grade products is close to 9:1; in this context, the European and American brands have also adjusted their product strategies and increased the introduction of a cost-effective 2nd-grade product, which has achieved good results in the market. Such as the Sike C2000 series safety light curtain, Bonner's EZ-SCREEN series safety light curtain.
3. From the perspective of the resolution of the application products, products with 30MM and above occupy 87% of the market. Among them, the safety light curtain products for protecting the resolution of the palm at 30MM (the optical axis spacing is 20MM) and the protection arm resolution of 50MM (the optical axis spacing is 40MM) are the most concentrated.
4. At present, the safety light curtain market, 71% of the products are used for mechanical point protection, and 29% of the products are used for channel entrance and hazardous peripheral area protection. From the perspective of the business performance of various competitors' markets, European and American companies mainly promote safety light curtains through engineering projects, mainly used in the automotive industry, packaging industry and rubber and plastics industry, for channel access or hazardous area protection; and Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Mainland enterprises mainly carry out business through cooperation with mainland machinery and equipment manufacturers, while focusing on the development of spare parts and machinery equipment aftermarket.
5. The application field of mainland safety light curtain products is relatively narrow compared with developed countries in Europe and America. Currently, it is mainly used in the automotive industry, packaging industry, electronics industry, rubber and plastics industry, etc., among which the automotive industry, rubber and plastics industry and electronics industry are the key application industries. The amount accounted for 67% of the total scale, and the matching amount accounted for 62% of the total sales. The automobile manufacturing industry is the industry with the most application of foreign brand products, and the most widely used products of domestic brand enterprises are the electronics manufacturing industry.
6. From the perspective of application terminal equipment, safety light curtain products are mainly used in forging machinery and injection molding machinery, accounting for more than 70% of the total application. Among the forging machines, the press accounts for 80% and the bending machine accounts for 10%. The shearing machine accounts for 8%, and the metal cutting class accounts for 2%. Injection molding machinery is mainly used in vertical injection molding machinery.
7. From the perspective of terminal procurement customers, among the major machinery manufacturers, key well-known manufacturers, such as Yangli Group and Wuxi Forging, generally purchase 800 sets-1000 sets per year; mainly used in 45-200 tons export-type hydraulic presses. . Other machinery and equipment manufacturers generally purchase less than 100 sets per year. Automobile manufacturers generally maintain a single project purchase volume between 50-400 sets. The number of single purchases of procurement customers generally used for spare parts renewal of mechanical equipment remains below 30 sets.
In
2008, the sales growth of major security light curtain manufacturers in
the mainland was stable. Relevant governments and associations have
officially formulated safety standards for mechanical equipment and
applications. The trial version will be launched in due course. Sike,
Omron, Pilz and other leading foreign companies, for the textile
industry, elevator industry, printing industry, packaging industry and
other future potential industries, increase the promotion of industrial
safety concepts and product application knowledge. Domestic-funded
enterprises strengthen product research and development and promotion of
new fields. For example, in the beginning of 2013, Keli officially
passed the TUV certification of European standard 4 products with
independent property rights. It marks that the technical level of
domestic brands of safety light curtains has fully reached the
international advanced level. Newly entered foreign-funded enterprises,
such as Siemens, Schneider, Schmersal, Bornstein, Corey, and Rui, are
stepping up integration of resources and development channels. ,market
development. The safety light curtain market is entering a stage of high
attention and rapid development.
JFUnited believes that the mainland security light curtain has initially formed a certain market scale and has great potential for development. The market is changing from the introduction period to the growth period. In the next few years, a large number of new enterprises will emerge in the industry, and the overall product price of the industry will Further reduction, the competition in the industry segment will become more intense, the products of different applications will be more diversified, and the manufacturers with the product, technology, consulting and service overall solution capabilities will gradually consume the market of single sales safety light curtain products manufacturers. Share. The product application field has gradually expanded to more fields from the relatively narrow automotive industry, rubber and plastics industry, and electronics industry. In the market, foreign brands and domestic brands will face a positive competition in certain areas of the market segment. The overall safety light curtain market will maintain an annual growth rate of more than 30%. In 2020, the market size will reach at least 600 million yuan.
