China's inverter market is currently in a period of rapid growth and is widely used in air conditioning, elevators, metallurgy, machinery and other industries. According to statistics, in the past few years, China's inverter market has maintained a growth rate of 12%-15%, this speed has far exceeded the GDP growth level in recent years, and at least in the next 5 years to maintain 10% The above growth rate. Considering the price drop of about 4-6%, the increase in installed capacity (power) of inverters in the Chinese market is actually around 20%. According to this development speed and the demand of the Chinese market, the market will be saturated and mature gradually at least after 10 years. Therefore, the Chinese inverter market has a broad space for development.

Energy conservation and consumption reduction are the top priorities

During the two sessions, representatives from the industry believed that "China's current energy problems are more of a "bottleneck" than a "crisis." Energy tension is relative, not absolute. China's per capita energy shortage is extremely unreasonable in structure and distribution. Energy waste and environmental pollution caused by the limitation of technical level and production capacity have become increasingly prominent problems. Therefore, the rational development and use of energy requires an integrated process.

Energy saving and consumption reduction

Reducing energy consumption is not simply energy saving, it involves all links from energy extraction and processing to downstream energy use.

This requires us to improve the efficiency of energy development, production, and processing, and reduce waste; we must adopt advanced technical equipment and products that save energy, reduce consumption, save water, and protect the environment, and transform or eliminate backward production capacity and processes with high consumption and high pollution. And products. Among them, the opportunities for automation companies are huge, and the most direct is the inverter manufacturing company. From the upstream oil, natural gas, coal mining, to energy transmission and power generation, to the downstream petrochemical, steel, and automobile production to the later water treatment, environmental protection, everything.

The original purpose of the inverter is speed control, which is used in printing, elevators, textiles, machine tools and production lines. At present, quite a lot of applications are aimed at saving energy. Since China is a large energy-consuming country, its energy utilization efficiency is relatively low, and China’s energy reserves are relatively poor. Therefore, the state vigorously promotes various energy-saving measures, and the National Economic and Trade Commission and the National Planning Commission formulated the "Energy Conservation Management" in 2001. "Measures", focusing on recommending inverter speed regulation technology. In the fields of water pumps, central air-conditioning, etc., the frequency converter can replace the traditional technology of restricting the valve and the return bypass to give full play to the energy-saving effect; in the thermal power, metallurgy, mining, building materials industry, the economic value of the AC motor system with high-voltage frequency control Is being reflected.

Domestic companies are ready

In response to the market demand for energy conservation and environmental protection, domestic frequency conversion companies have sprung up in recent years, but few of them are well-known for their product quality. According to industry insiders, several domestic companies that are at the top of the technology are very competitive compared with foreign inverter companies. The product design of domestic companies is completely suitable for the index needs of domestic users, and the inverter products are comparable in performance. In terms of price, foreign products are higher than 1/3 of domestic products, and foreign enterprises are more expensive in after-sales service. Most domestic enterprises have the disadvantage of insufficient funds, so they cannot expand the market significantly. I believe that with the With the further improvement of users' awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, after two or three years of development and expansion, domestic enterprises will certainly catch up with and surpass foreign enterprises and occupy a larger share of the domestic market.

According to market research, there are currently at least 180 million kilowatts of motors in China with variable loads and energy-saving potential. It can be seen that the energy-saving and consumption-reducing demands put forward by the energy shortage provide a broader space for the application of inverters, and also bring more opportunities for the development of inverter companies.
