The wire and cable industry, although only a supporting industry, accounts for 1/4 of the output value of China's electrical industry. It has a wide variety of products and a wide range of applications, involving industries such as power, construction, communication, and manufacturing, and is closely related to various sectors of the national economy.
The wire and cable industry, although only a supporting industry, accounts for 1/4 of the output value of China's electrical industry. It has a wide variety of products and a wide range of applications, involving industries such as power, construction, communication, and manufacturing, and is closely related to various sectors of the national economy. Wire and cable are also known as the "arteries" and "nerves" of the national economy. They are essential basic equipment for transmitting electrical energy, transmitting information, and manufacturing various motors, instruments, and meters to achieve electromagnetic energy conversion. They are necessary basic products in the future electrified and information-based society.
The wire and cable industry is the second largest industry in China after the automotive industry, with a product variety satisfaction rate and domestic market share of over 90%. Worldwide, China's total output value of wires and cables has surpassed that of the United States, becoming the world's largest producer of wires and cables. With the rapid development of China's wire and cable industry, the number of new enterprises continues to increase, and the overall technical level of the industry has been greatly improved.
The output value of the five major categories of products in China's wire and cable industry - bare wires, winding wires, electrical equipment wires and cables, power cables, communication cables, and optical cables - accounts for 18%, 19%, 22%, 31%, and 10% of the total industry output value, respectively. Bare wire products are mainly used as semi-finished products for overhead conductors and other cable products, with a relatively stable share. Winding wire products have maintained synchronous growth with the tight national energy and power supply, as well as the construction of new energy projects such as nuclear and wind energy. Under the promotion of the national smart grid construction, power cable products will continue to maintain high-speed growth.
