The industrial chain of transmission and distribution equipment is relatively simple, upstream industry including non-ferrous Metals, steel, machinery and equipment industries, is the main source of cost of transmission and distribution equipment industry. The downstream industry is mainly the power grid industry, is the main source of revenue for transmission and distribution equipment industry. The demand of the grid industry itself varies with different purposes, such as cross-border and trans-regional networking projects, large hydroelectric, coal and wind power transmission projects, urban power grid reconstruction projects, improvement of disaster resilience, hydropower construction and so on.

Demand promotion: The industry expands continuously

In recent years, the market demand of transmission and distribution equipment is on the rise, along with the reconstruction of rural network, UHV, ultra-high voltage HVDC transmission and other projects, driving the rapid development of China's transmission and distribution equipment market. According to the prospective Industry research Institute released the "Transmission and distribution equipment industry demand and Investment forecast Analysis report" data show that transmission and distribution equipment sales from 2009 on behalf of 1.26 trillion yuan, grew to 2016 3.59 trillion yuan, achieved nearly 3 times times the scale of growth. Combined with the transformation and upgrading of the needs and the increasing demand, forecast for 2017 power transmission and distribution equipment industry revenue scale of more than 4 trillion yuan.

According to the market segments, China's transmission and distribution equipment including wire and cable manufacturing, insulating products manufacturing, power electronic components manufacturing industry. At the same time includes Transformers, Rectifiers and inductors, capacitors and ancillary equipment, distribution switch control equipment, other power transmission and control equipment industry. According to the market size of 2016 years of each subdivision industry, wire and cable manufacturing revenue accounted for the highest ratio of 44.84%, followed by the distribution switch control equipment market size accounted for 21.13%; transformers, Rectifiers and inductors market size accounted for 15.86%. The market scale of the subdivided industry is not only affected by the product market price, but also the demand scale and the speed of the product replacement are the main factors influencing the market scale of the industry.

Increasing demand: a promising market size

To some extent, the demand trend of the transmission and distribution equipment market depends on the development of the downstream power market. As the main demand of the downstream of power transmission and distribution equipment, the increase of investment scale and the promotion of project construction will effectively promote the demand of transmission and distribution equipment. 2012-2016, the National Electric Power Project investment scale unceasingly increases, to 2016 electric power project completion investment is 885.5 billion yuan, in which the power grid project completes invests the scale is 542.6 billion yuan, accounts for the entire year investment completion amount 61.28%, 2012-2016 power grid project Investment maintained 10% The average annual growth rate. 2017 1-November, power grid project investment of 466.2 billion yuan.

The service life of transmission and distribution equipment is generally 10-15 years, China began to introduce outdoor transmission and distribution and control equipment in the 1990s, after several decades of development, transmission and distribution equipment will enter the replacement cycle, the demand for product upgrading is exuberant. The implementation of the national power grid distribution automation and rural network transformation has led the rapid development of the transmission and distribution equipment field, and gradually increased, but also led to the huge demand of the transmission and distribution equipment market. Under the impetus of the national "all the way" strategy, with the increasing of the scale of China's power grid investment, China's power equipment enterprises will usher in a huge market development space. Forward forecast, the future market size of power transmission and distribution industry will increase by 15%-20% annual compound growth rate, to 2023 sales volume is expected to exceed 6 trillion.

With the east-west transmission, north-South Mutual supply, cross-regional networking, South-to-north water diversion, smart grid and other major projects have started construction, and the state of the power industry energy structure adjustment, in hydropower, wind power, nuclear power and solar power and other clean energy areas of the construction investment has increased significantly, transmission and distribution equipment industry in the development of a development opportunity. At the same time, new urban construction, rail transit investment, a large number of new energy grid brings the market of power transmission and distribution equipment, and brings business opportunities for power transmission and distribution equipment manufacturers.
