Against the backdrop of increasing uncertainty in the global trade environment, the tariff war between China and the United States continues to escalate, directly impacting Chinese compressor enterprises that are highly dependent on imported core components. Data shows that as of April 2025, the additional tariffs imposed by the United States on China involve a maximum tariff rate of 84% on core components of industrial compressors, leading to a significant increase in related import costs. As an emerging model in the industry, Zhejiang Meisong has not only achieved local mass production of core components through the implementation of the "dual circulation" technological breakthrough strategy, but also built a resilient supply chain system, providing a replicable solution to the "bottleneck" problem of high-end equipment.

01 Tariff War and Supply Chain Reconstruction: Upgrading of Domestic Demand

The direct impact of the tariff war

After the escalation of the tariff war between China and the United States in 2025, the average import cost of core components of imported compressors (such as bearings, impellers, etc.) increased by 84%. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that the tariff war "undermines the multilateral trading system and is not conducive to solving its own problems", but objectively accelerates the reconstruction of the domestic industrial chain. Data from the China Machinery Industry Federation shows that in 2024, the market share of imported compressors dropped by 7%, and the proportion of domestic equipment exceeded 45% for the first time.

The goal of "Made in China 2025" is pushing forward

The white paper clearly stipulates that by 2025, 80 landmark advanced processes should be promoted and applied. However, the current domestic production rate in the compressor field is less than 3%. The high-end market is still dominated by first-tier imported foreign brands, which account for more than 75% of the market share in China, and the domestic production rate of core components is less than 15%. Under such circumstances, domestic centrifugal compressor manufacturers are confronted with a dual task: to break through the technical barriers of high-precision processing, and at the same time, they also need to build a localized supply chain and service system.

02 The advantages of domestic cooperation of Zhejiang Meisong

Intelligent manufacturing strength

Customized production with high-precision and advanced production equipment and raw materials, the product quality strictly adheres to industry standards and relevant national standards. The delivery cycle for core spare parts is within 30 days, and for regular spare parts, it is within 15 days. The overall cost is reduced by more than 35%.

Service response timeliness

"24 hours, 365 days!" The "4-hour response +8-24 hour on-site service" mechanism.

Market feedback and strategic value

In 2024, the market share of Meisong's domestic centrifugal compressor maintenance and spare parts increased by 15.8%, achieving large-scale substitution in industries such as steel and petrochemicals. Its localization practice not only reduces the comprehensive cost of enterprises, but also promotes the transfer of industry pricing power to local enterprises.

03 Depth and Challenges of Localization: From Substitution to Transcendence

The China Machinery Industry Federation predicts that the growth rate of the machinery industry will reach around 5.5% in 2025, among which the growth of intelligent manufacturing equipment will exceed 8%. The tariff war has accelerated the process of "domestic substitution". It is estimated that the scale of the independently controllable market will exceed 1.47 trillion yuan by 2027, with an average annual growth rate of over 20%. Zhejiang Meisong's practice has shown that localization has transcended the logic of simple cost competition and has become the core strategy for ensuring the security of the industrial chain.

The pressure of the tariff war and the guidance of policies are pushing China's compressor industry towards profound transformation. The practice of Zhejiang Meisong has proved that localization is not only a short-term strategy to deal with external shocks, but also a long-term layout to reshape the position of the global industrial chain. When technological breakthroughs, service upgrades and ecological synergy occur, China's compressor industry is expected to shift from "following" to "keeping pace". Provide a new model for "Made in China" to participate in international competition.
