Steam Boxes Market Share, Opportunities and Outlook 2025


31st December 2018 - Global steam box market is segmented on the basis of product types, application and geography. A steam box is an elongated, sealed container used to steam wooden planks for the purpose of making them flexible. The wood holds a new shape when once steamed, then fastened or clamped into the desired position and left to dry.

Steam boxes enable more efficient use of wood. Instead of cutting the desired shape away from large and more expensive piece of wood and leaving much scrap to be discarded, steam boxes allow for a smaller piece to be bent in the general shape and leaving much less scrap. Steam boxes also allow the wood to bend beyond its dry breaking point which is useful in making extreme curves with the wood. In many cases, the bent piece is stronger than an identical piece cut from larger stock.


Steam bending wood allows the wood grain to follow the bend, leaving it strong where a piece cut from larger stock would snap across crosscut grains or laminated joints. The largest steam boxes are used in boat building to bend the large planks for the frame and hull. However, smaller ones are used in making a variety of consumer items such as rocking chairs, musical instruments and walking canes.

The steam machine, also known as the steam box during development is a pre-built gaming computer designed to operate valve corporation’s steam OS through the steam client. Steam machines are specialized gaming PCs made by a variety of manufacturers. They run on SteamOS, a unique operating system based on Ubuntu Linux and produced by game developer valve. Steam machines are generally optimized as living-room entertainment centers rather than comprehensive gaming rigs.

Steam machines will exist primarily to download and play Linux games through Valve's digital download platform, Steam. However, they will also be able to stream Windows and Mac games running on Steam through other computers, and run a variety of streaming video and music apps. Additionally, SteamOS will have many of the same customization features as other Linux systems, meaning users will be able to install productivity software or anything else with a little tweaking.

On the basis of product types, the steam box market is segmented into traditional type, embedded type, energy saving type, normal tensile (NT), high tensile (HT) and so on. On the basis of application, the steam box market is segmented into passenger car use, freight car use, disinfection, kitchen cooking food, agriculture greenhouse and so on. On the basis of geography, the steam box market is segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. The global key players in the steam box market are Midea, SIEMENS, Fotile, Gei Huan Enterprise, Jiangsu JM Machinery, Quickly Food Machinery and Shanghai Quanyou.
