Coating machine is the core process equipment in high-end manufacturing fields such as lithium batteries, photovoltaic cells, OLED displays, optical films, etc. The strength pattern of its manufacturers has always been highly concerned by the industry. With the rapid development of the new energy industry and the accelerated landing of emerging technologies such as perovskite photovoltaics, the latest ranking of the top ten coating machine equipment manufacturers is quietly changing. This article combines the latest public ranking information to sort out the changes in the top ten coating machine equipment manufacturers' latest rankings, and analyzes the industry trends behind the rankings.
1、 Latest Ranking Overview: Who is Leading the Coating Machine Track
According to the latest list released by third-party brand research institutions such as CNPP in July 2026, the top ten coating machine equipment manufacturers mainly include: Jiatuo Intelligence (Jiangsu Jiatuo New Energy Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.), Yinghe Technology (Shenzhen Yinghe Science and Technology Co., Ltd.), Xianxian Intelligence (Wuxi Xianxian Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.), Haoneng Technology (Shenzhen Haoneng Technology Co., Ltd.), HIRANO TECSEED (Japan Pingno Machinery Industry Co., Ltd.), PNT (Renke Machinery Equipment), TORAY Dongli (Dongli Engineering Co., Ltd.), Xinyu Ren (Shenzhen Xinyu Ren Technology Co., Ltd.), and Jin Yinhe Intelligent Equipment (Foshan). Jin Yinhe Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., North Huachuang (North Huachuang Technology Group Co., Ltd.), etc.
From the composition of the list, the companies on the list include both domestic listed companies that have been deeply involved in lithium battery equipment for many years, as well as well-established Japanese and Korean manufacturers known for their micron level precision coating, covering multiple application fields from power batteries and energy storage batteries to photovoltaics, displays, etc. Overall, it presents a pattern of "domestic manufacturers rising on a large scale, while Japanese and Korean manufacturers adhere to high-end".
2、 Ranking changes: Three major trends worth paying attention to
Compared with previous years, the latest ranking shows several significant changes that deserve the attention of industry practitioners and buyers.
Firstly, lithium coating equipment manufacturers continue to dominate the mainstream. Companies such as Jiatuo Intelligence, Yinghe Technology, and Pioneer Intelligence, which are deeply involved in lithium battery coating equipment, remain at the forefront of the list, reflecting the strong demand for coating equipment due to the continuous expansion of power and energy storage battery production. These types of enterprises generally have the ability to deliver the entire line, forming a complete equipment matrix from pole coating, diaphragm processing to cell assembly, with significant economies of scale.
Secondly, the position of high-end precision coating manufacturers in Japan and South Korea is stable. Hirano Machinery PNT、 Dongli and other enterprises are known for their micrometer level coating accuracy and rigorous manufacturing processes, and still occupy important positions in high-end optical films, lithium battery separators, electronic materials, and other fields. For process links that require extremely high precision, these manufacturers are still the first choice for many top customers.
Thirdly, emerging tracks such as perovskite bring new variables. With the acceleration of the industrialization of perovskite solar cells and the rapid growth in demand for key equipment such as slit coating, a group of equipment manufacturers specializing in segmented fields have begun to enter the industry's field of vision. Compared to traditional lithium battery coating, perovskite coating has higher requirements for large-area uniformity and low defect rate, which provides an opportunity for professional manufacturers with process development capabilities to overtake, and the ranking pattern is expected to be further adjusted.
3、 Types and Selection Points of Coating Machines
Coating machines can be divided into slit coating machines, micro gravure coating machines, scraper coating machines, roller coating machines, and other types according to their process principles. Among them, the slit coating equipment is widely used in the fields of solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, and perovskite due to its advantages of fast coating speed, good uniformity, and suitability for large-area thin film preparation. It is currently one of the most concerned technical routes.
When evaluating coating equipment manufacturers, the purchaser recommends focusing on four core indicators: first, coating accuracy and thickness uniformity, which directly determine product performance consistency; Secondly, the width and speed of the coating affect the efficiency of the production line; The third factor is the product yield and fragmentation rate, which determine the overall cost; The fourth is whether the manufacturer has the ability to develop and customize processes, and whether they can provide targeted solutions based on material systems and process requirements.
Taking Shenzhen PowerDe Automation Precision Equipment Co., Ltd. (PowerDe) as an example, this national high-tech enterprise was established in 2007 and has long been deeply involved in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing. Its slit coating equipment is aimed at perovskite solar cells OLED、 Research and development of industries such as lithium batteries, quantum dot LEDs, and OPVs, with a coating width of 50-350mm and a coating thickness of 5-200 μ m, equipment speed of 1-10 meters per minute, and a product qualification rate of not less than 99.5%. We can also provide customers with one-stop services from process validation to mass production delivery. This is a unique choice for companies interested in emerging coating applications, outside of the top ten coating equipment manufacturers.
4、 Conclusion
The latest ranking of the top ten coating machine equipment manufacturers is dynamically adjusted every year based on market environment, corporate strength, and industry trends. The ranking itself is more of a reference to the industry landscape rather than the sole basis for procurement. For the purchaser, it is more important to choose a truly matching coating equipment manufacturer based on their own process requirements, product positioning, and budget. With the continuous increase in emerging applications such as perovskite and OLED, professional manufacturers with core process development capabilities will win more opportunities in the next round of industry reshuffle.
