1. Introduction

In recent years, the state has successively issued a series of policy documents in the construction field, such as the "Guiding Opinions on Vigorously Developing Prefabricated Buildings," promoting the development of the traditional construction industry towards industrialization and intelligence. The core characteristic of prefabricated buildings is "factory prefabrication and on-site assembly," which places higher demands on the standardization, precision, and production capacity of components such as blocks. Traditional block production equipment is struggling to meet new demands in terms of efficiency, precision, and automation, creating a significant opportunity for large-scale automated block brick making machines. This article aims to explore the market prospects and development path of such equipment against the backdrop of the rapid development of prefabricated buildings.

2. Market Status and Demand Analysis

Currently, the proportion of prefabricated buildings in new construction in my country is increasing year by year, especially in public buildings, affordable housing, and standardized residential buildings. As a key component of wall materials, the demand for blocks continues to grow, gradually developing towards high strength, lightweight, and multi-functionality. Traditional equipment struggles to meet the demands of large-scale, high-quality, and multi-variety production. Therefore, large-scale automated block brick making machines with intelligent material feeding, multi-axis linkage, and digital control functions have become a market hotspot. It is projected that by 2028, the market size of such equipment in my country will exceed 5 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 20%.

3. Technological Development Trends
Large-scale automated block brick making equipment is transitioning from "mechanical drive" to "intelligent control." Core technological innovations include:

Intelligent material feeding and multi-axis linkage molding technology: achieving high-precision and high-efficiency production of complex-structured blocks;

Robotic palletizing and flexible handling systems: improving the automation level of the production line and reducing reliance on manual labor;

Digital twin and remote operation and maintenance technology: enabling real-time monitoring of equipment status, fault prediction, and intelligent maintenance;

Green and energy-saving technologies: integrating waste heat recovery and low-noise design to reduce production energy consumption.

In the future, the equipment will further integrate artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies to achieve "unmanned workshops" and "customized production."

4. Policy and Market Drivers

Policy Promotion: National and local subsidies for prefabricated buildings, preferential land supply, and carbon emission requirements directly drive demand for high-end block equipment.

Market Demand: Accelerated urbanization, rising building standards, and increasing labor costs are driving the transformation of block production towards automation and intensification.

Technological Upgrades: Technological innovations such as intelligent control and robot integration reduce equipment maintenance costs and improve production flexibility.

Industry Competition: Leading companies further consolidate their market share through technological breakthroughs and large-scale production, while SMEs face pressure to transform.

5. Competitive Landscape and Corporate Strategy
The current market is mainly dominated by a few technologically advanced companies, such as Zoomlion and Fujian Quanzhou Machinery, which have significant advantages in automation control and equipment integration. Emerging companies are entering niche markets through differentiated innovation (such as specialized block equipment and customized solutions). Future competition will increasingly rely on technological accumulation, service response speed, and supply chain integration capabilities.

Enterprises need to build core competitiveness in the following aspects:

Technology R&D: Continuously invest in automation and intelligentization;

Service Upgrades: Provide high-value-added services such as full lifecycle management and remote operation and maintenance;

Ecosystem Cooperation: Collaborate with architectural design and construction companies to promote the integrated development of blocks, components, and buildings.

6. Market Risks and Challenges

Technology Iteration Risk: If unable to keep up with the trends of intelligentization and greening, equipment may face obsolescence;

Financial Pressure: High investment in large-scale automated equipment, and financing difficulties for SMEs;

Intensified Market Competition: The entry of international brands and the expansion of domestic enterprises may lead to price wars;

Policy Fluctuations: If the promotion of prefabricated buildings falls short of expectations, it will affect equipment demand.

7. Development Recommendations

Enterprise Level: Strengthen technological reserves and promote the upgrading of equipment towards flexibility and intelligence;

Industry Level: Establish a standard system for block production equipment and promote supply chain collaboration;

Policy Level: Further increase support for prefabricated buildings and supporting equipment, and promote the certification and application of green building materials.

8. Conclusion

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of prefabricated buildings, large-scale automated block brick making equipment is at a critical stage of technological upgrading and market expansion. With continued strong policy support and unleashing market demand, companies with intelligent production and green manufacturing capabilities will gain significant development advantages. In the future, the equipment will further evolve towards integration, networking, and service orientation, driving the entire construction industry towards high-quality and sustainable development.
