1、 Industry scale and market pattern

The peanut oil press industry in China is currently in a period of rapid growth, with the market size of small-scale oil press equipment exceeding RMB 4.2 billion and a compound annual growth rate of 11.3%. The main driving forces are consumer upgrading, increased awareness of food safety, and rural entrepreneurship.

As the main peanut producing areas, Shandong, Henan, and Hebei provinces contribute over 60% of the country's equipment demand, with Linyi as the core hub, gathering a large number of manufacturing and application end enterprises.

On the end consumer end, the market size of peanut oil in China will reach 53.93 billion yuan in 2024, with high-end products (unit price>100 yuan/5L) accounting for 73.8%, promoting the upgrading of upstream oil pressing equipment towards high precision, low residual oil, and all stainless steel.

2、 Main manufacturers and regional clusters

The industry presents a dual track pattern of "national brand+regional cluster":

National leading brand:

Yijiayi: a Hubei enterprise with over 100 after-sales outlets nationwide. Its products are exported to Canada, Brazil, and Southeast Asia, with a focus on the integrated system of "squeezing and refining".

Qingjiang: a veteran manufacturer in Sichuan, the drafting unit of industry standards for agricultural spiral oil presses, and a leader in hot pressing technology.

Dongfanghong: With a background in state-owned assets in Hubei, it covers the entire process of "cleaning pressing refining" with automated equipment.

Yuanquan Machinery: a local enterprise in Linyi, Shandong Province, China. It is a national level "specialized, refined, innovative and small giant" with over 200 patents. Its products have obtained agricultural machinery subsidy qualifications and specialize in fully automatic hydraulic oil presses.

Regional industrial clusters:

Linyi, Jining, Yishui and other places in Shandong have formed oil pressing machine production belts. Enterprises such as Yuanquan Machinery, Kezhijie, and Zhongpeng Food rely on local peanut raw material advantages to develop an integrated model of "equipment+oil". Some enterprises have built 500 acres of high oleic acid peanut planting bases.

3、 Technological development trends

The industry is accelerating its evolution towards intelligence, energy efficiency, and integration

Intelligent control: Mainstream commercial models are equipped with PLC automatic control systems, which achieve one click start, automatic temperature control (± 2 ℃ accuracy), fault self diagnosis, and reduce manual intervention by 70%.

Energy saving and consumption reducing: Adopting variable frequency motors, the unit output energy consumption is less than 0.3 kWh/kg of oil, which is 40% more energy-efficient than traditional models.

Integrated pressing, filtering, and refining functions, with a residual oil rate of less than 6% as an excellent industry standard, and a stable oil yield of 42% -48% (peanuts).

Material upgrade: 304 stainless steel body+high chromium alloy pressed screw as standard, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, with a lifespan of over 8 years.

Cold and hot double pressing: supports low-temperature cold pressing (retaining nutrients) and high-temperature hot pressing (improving oil yield), meeting the dual needs of high-end oil products and bulk production.

Comparison Table of Technical Parameters

|Parameters | Industry Standards | Excellent Level|

|Oil yield (peanuts) | 42% -46% | ≥ 48%|

|Residual oil rate (cake and meal) | ≤ 8% |<6%|

|Unit energy consumption | ≤ 0.4 degrees per kilogram of oil |<0.3 degrees per kilogram of oil|

|Temperature control accuracy | ± 5 ℃ | ± 2 ℃|

|Material | Carbon Steel | 304 Stainless Steel+High Chromium Alloy|

4、 Policy and subsidy support

National and local policies continue to empower:

Agricultural machinery purchase subsidy: In Shandong, Liaoning, Guizhou and other places, peanut oil presses that meet the standards can enjoy a 30% subsidy on the equipment purchase price, with a maximum subsidy of 5 million yuan per household.

Oil planting subsidy: Liaoning, Danzhou and other places provide a subsidy of 500 yuan/mu to peanut planting entities with an area of over 500 mu, indirectly driving equipment procurement demand.

Standard upgrade: The strict limit standards for aflatoxin have forced small workshops to withdraw, promoting an increase in industry concentration.

5、 International Market and Export Trends

The export of Chinese peanut oil presses presents a dual engine of "European high-end+emerging market explosion":

Main exporting countries:

Europe: France (+125%), Italy (+60%), Germany (+38%) - preference for cold pressing and stainless steel equipment.

Africa: Congo (+810%), Nigeria - high demand, price sensitive.

Latin America: Argentina (+101%), Chile - Peanut oil consumption is growing rapidly.

Middle East: Saudi Arabia (+40%) - Religious cuisine drives demand for halal certification equipment.

Main channel: Alibaba International is the largest B2B platform, with a year-on-year growth of 85% in new payment purchasers in 2026.

6、 Current industry challenges

Market chaos: Some small factories have falsely labeled the oil output rate of their equipment, used inferior materials as good, and lacked after-sales service.

Raw material fluctuations: Peanut prices are greatly affected by climate, which affects the profitability stability of oil mills.

Technical threshold: Intelligent devices require higher skills from operators, and the training system in rural areas lags behind.
