China's rapidly developing infrastructure demands substantial power transformer capacity, sparking intense competition within the industry. Domestic enterprises, particularly in Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, engage in price wars and strive for quality and brand recognition. Large firms innovate to maintain market share amidst foreign competition, which is driven by advanced technology and the push for energy conservation. The Chinese market's size and diversity in use cases, including high-voltage and specialized transformers for renewable energy, indicate a thriving industry. With a focus on efficiency, environmental friendliness, and intelligent technology, China's transformers are evolving to meet global standards, making it an attractive destination for international buyers seeking cutting-edge, reliable power solutions.
The transmission of electricity requires power transformers
As a large country with rapid development, my country has a large demand for infrastructure power facilities, which has caused fierce competition in China's power transformer industry. Competition is divided into competition in the internal market of domestic enterprises and market competition between domestic enterprises and foreign enterprises.
Competition in the internal market of domestic enterprises
Enterprises in China's power transformer industry are mainly distributed in Shandong (164), Hebei (127), Jiangsu (102), Zhejiang (92), Guangdong (63) and other provinces. The large number has caused price wars, product quality differentiation and brand effects.Price wars have forced some small enterprises to give up product quality to gain market share in order to survive.
In order to cope with the downward pressure on market prices and ensure quality, large enterprises have begun to focus on product research and development and innovation to reduce the competitive pressure brought by prices. At the same time, they enhance the brand effect to make users trust the brand and occupy market share.
Market competition between domestic and foreign enterprises
Due to the large market share in China, foreign large sports car enterprises have increased their efforts to expand the Chinese market. As foreign industrial banks are more advanced in development and have more advantages in the research and development and manufacturing of power transformers, they have to force domestic enterprises to accelerate the development of new product technologies and innovate transformer products suitable for China. As the country vigorously promotes "energy conservation", high-efficiency energy-saving transformers and new energy access transformers are being vigorously developed.
Due to the large market share, the use scenarios of transformer products have increased.
Power transformers: high-voltage transformers 1000kv, 750kv, 330-500kv, 220kv, 110(66)kv, dry copper core transformers, dry amorphous alloy transformers, rectifier transformers, pole transformers, pad transformers, wind and photovoltaic power generation transformers, on-load voltage regulating transformers, on-load capacity regulating transformers, non-excitation transformers, prefabricated cabin transformers, etc.
Industrial transformers: mining transformers, marine transformers, frequency conversion transformers, voltage stabilizing transformers, electric furnace transformers, auto-coupling transformers, etc. Their appearance reflects the prosperous development prospects of domestic transformers.
The technology is updated quickly, and terms such as high efficiency and energy saving, intelligence and digitalization, adjustable and controllable, new energy access, and environmental protection are standard features of developing transformers.
In order to further promote the development of China's distribution transformers and cooperate with the country's energy development direction, transformers will develop in the direction of energy saving, environmental protection, and intelligence, which is the focus of technological updates. At the same time, the research and development of new materials and the promotion of new processes will improve the efficiency of transformers, and intelligent monitoring and management will be equipped with transformers, making it more efficient and safe to use in life.
