According to a research report by CITIC Securities, the process industry exhibits notable pro-cyclical characteristics, forecasting a steep decline of over 20% in petrochemical capital expenditure by 2024. Nonetheless, investment plans in the northwest coal chemical industry are gaining momentum, poised to inject fresh growth dynamics into the market. In the current market landscape, the equipment renewal initiative persists, with subsidies gradually being implemented, thus ensuring medium- to long-term stability for investments in process industrial equipment. The process equipment sector encompasses a vast system, spanning multiple components such as compressors, pumps, seals, air separation equipment, valves, instrumentation, and control systems. This has nurtured leading enterprises with both domestic and international competitiveness. While the fundamental recovery of the industry remains to be validated, it is advisable to concentrate on four key investment avenues: coal chemicals, inventory equipment renewal, exports, and domestic substitution.
