Domestic low-end cable oversupply should be in-depth study of special cables

In the past two years, the capacity of China's wire and cable market has continued to expand, and the development scale of the domestic cable industry has continued to grow, and the drive of profits has led to the innovation ability of the entity enterprises to lag behind. At present, there is an oversupply of low-end cables in the domestic market, and high-end special cables are relatively scarce. Under the background of low concentration in the cable industry, scattered technical force, and low technological content of products, in-depth research on special cables will be a magic weapon for cable companies to have market competitiveness.

Special cables are cables that have special uses and can be used in specific occasions, such as high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, termite-proof, and wire and cable used in ships, aircraft, nuclear power plants and other occasions. Special cable is a series of products with unique performance and special structure, compared with a wide range of ordinary wire and cable, with higher technical content, more strict conditions of use, smaller batch, higher added value characteristics. New materials, new structures, new processes and new design calculations are often used.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, only a small number of enterprises in the national wire and cable industry can reach annual sales of more than 2 billion yuan, and a small number of enterprises can obtain international recognition or have high visibility. The special materials required for the manufacture of special cables still need to be imported. In particular, when the core equipment of major projects needs special supporting cables, it can only rely on imported special materials.

With the rapid development of China's communications, high-end equipment manufacturing industry and other industries, the demand for special cables has increased significantly, and imported cable products are expensive, long delivery time, which makes the research and development cost of China's high-end manufacturing industry has increased significantly, to a certain extent, restricting the development of these industries. For the time being. The special cable products in urgent need of development in the domestic market are: aerospace cables, data bus cables, Marine cables, rolling stock cables, communication high-frequency cables, urban rail cables, etc. In addition, with the in-depth implementation of environmental protection, safety, energy conservation and other sustainable development concepts, China's special cable industry is facing good development opportunities, therefore, do not blindly follow the trend into the price cycle of low-end cable market competition, the development of scarce special cables is a path for the development of cable enterprises.

In order to further strengthen production safety, economic security and national defense security, China's demand for special cable products is becoming more and more strong, the national industrial policy clearly states that in the construction of major projects will give priority to the use of domestic independent brand products, the industrial environment is very conducive to the development of domestic special cable enterprises. Industry insiders suggest that the state should also continue to strengthen the investment and policy support of cable material research and development. Relevant science and technology departments shall establish special funds in combination with special cables and special materials required for the construction of national key projects, and organize manufacturers and users to jointly develop them to meet the production needs of special cables; Increase the scientific and technological development of special materials, by the government investment and to organize research and development capabilities of factories, institutions, colleges and universities to form a joint research group, and included in the scientific and technological development plan.

With the arrival of the "13th Five-Year Plan", China's cable enterprises are facing good development prospects, at the same time, the task of transformation of the industry is also very difficult. Gradually realizing the transformation from only producing low-end products to developing special cables will be the key to maintaining the sustained, stable and healthy development of China's cable industry.
