Vertical Dual Zone Thermal Shock Chamber Market Analysis

Vertical Dual Zone Thermal Shock Chamber is a kind of environmental test equipment used to test the temperature resistance, thermal stability and reliability of materials and products. This type of tester has two independent temperature control zones and can simultaneously conduct hot and cold shock test on samples, which is widely used in electronics, automotive, aerospace and other fields.

Vertical dual-zone thermal shock test chamber is mainly composed of box, refrigeration system, heating system, control system and so on. The chamber adopts double-layer structure, and the inner liner is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which has good heat preservation performance. The refrigeration system adopts compressor or refrigerant, which can quickly cool the sample to low temperature. The heating system adopts electric heating or hot air circulation, which can quickly heat the sample to high temperature. The control system adopts PLC or microcomputer control, which can precisely control the temperature and humidity inside the box.

The industry chain of Vertical Dual Zone Thermal Shock Chamber can be divided into upstream raw material suppliers, midstream test chamber manufacturers and downstream application market. The upstream raw materials mainly include metal materials, electronic components and so on. Midstream are test chamber manufacturers, such as ESPEC in the United States and Weiss Technik in Germany. The downstream application field is extensive, covering a wide range of industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace and others.

According to the data, the global Vertical Dual Zone Cold and Thermal Shock Test Chamber market size is expected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.5%. North America and Europe are the major markets, with Asia-Pacific being the fastest growing region. Electronics and automotive components are the major drivers of market growth.

As the world's largest manufacturing country, China has a huge demand for vertical dual-zone thermal shock test chambers. The size of the domestic market accounts for about 25% of the world, but the core technology and high-end products are still mainly imported.

The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta are important agglomeration areas for the vertical dual-zone cold and thermal shock test chamber industry. The Yangtze River Delta region, represented by Shanghai and Suzhou, has a more complete industrial chain and leading technology level; while the Pearl River Delta region has an advantage in the manufacturing process. The central and western regions started late, but the development momentum is good, such as Wuhan Optics Valley has formed a certain scale of the sensor industry cluster.

ESPEC, Weiss Technik and other European and American companies dominate the high-end market. Japanese ESPEC, YAMATO and other enterprises in the Asia-Pacific region with a high market share. Chinese enterprises such as Shanghai Jingzhuo, Dongguan Kaisda Test Equipment Co., Ltd. have grown rapidly in recent years, and their competitiveness in the low-end market is increasing.

China Instrumentation Industry Association Environmental Test Equipment Branch Secretary General Wang Qiang said: “The domestic vertical dual-zone thermal shock test chamber industry has made great progress, but there is still a gap between high-precision, high-reliability products and the international advanced level. The future needs to increase investment in research and development, breakthroughs in core technology bottlenecks, improve product performance and reliability.”

Tsinghua University School of Environment Professor believes: “Vertical dual-zone cold and thermal shock test chamber is one of the key equipment to achieve product reliability testing. The continuous development of electronic products and automotive parts, the research and application of test chamber technology will usher in new opportunities and challenges.”
