The cable industry substitutes aluminum for copper, and the market develops slowly
The market of replacing copper with aluminum in cable industry develops slowly.In the case of a serious lack of copper resources,the"substitution of aluminum for copper"in the cable industry is tantamount to a material revolution.In Europe and the United States and other developed regions,aluminum alloy cables with higher cost performance and superior electrical performance have been successfully used for more than 40 years.When purchasing cables,many churches,hospitals and government agencies regard this new type of cable as the best substitute for copper cables,and some domestic new projects have also begun to try to use aluminum alloy cables.However,due to the backward production process and technology,the development of aluminum alloy cable market is slow.
Cable is known as the"blood vessel"and"nerve"of the national economy.The annual output value of cable in China has exceeded trillion,becoming the second largest industry in the electrical and electrical industry,second only to the automobile manufacturing industry.For a long time,from large-scale power transmission projects to small factories and public facilities,97%of the cables used are copper core cables.The copper consumption used to produce cables in China each year accounts for more than 60%of the total domestic copper consumption.As more and more enterprises rush into the field of cable production,the cable industry is also increasingly dependent on copper imports,and the manufacturing and construction costs increase.
The continuous warming of the aluminum alloy cable market has also brought new opportunities for the development of the entire domestic cable industry.In recent years,China's economic development has maintained a steady and rapid growth,and the demand for electricity consumption has shown an overall vigorous trend.It seems that it is not lively and prosperous,but the profit pressure and development prospects borne by enterprises are worrying.Undoubtedly,various cable brands emerge in endlessly,causing many small and medium-sized cable enterprises to survive by competing for low prices,taking the development idea of sales volume and low profits.However,for the aluminum alloy cable market,which seems to have a bright future,cable enterprises should still maintain an objective and calm attitude.
First of all,the development of China's aluminum alloy cable market has been relatively slow before.The most important reason is that the production process and technology are backward.For a long time,aluminum alloy cables cannot achieve the same electrical performance as copper cables.Despite the rapid development in recent years,the R&D strength and production capacity of domestic cable enterprises have indeed been improved.However,compared with the advanced level of foreign countries,there are still some deficiencies.Cable enterprises engaged in the research and development of aluminum alloy cable products should closely follow the development trend of new cable products in the world,boldly carry out technological innovation according to market demand,and keep their products progressiveness all the time,so as to realize the healthy and sustainable development in the cable industry.
In addition,one point that needs to be firmly considered is whether China's electrical aluminum can meet the needs of domestic enterprises.According to relevant statistics,the aluminum alloy wires in 2011 were about 50000 tons,of which about half were exported and sold abroad,and the remaining aluminum for electrical purposes was consumed by several major domestic aluminum alloy and related product producers.The importance of raw materials for cable enterprises is self-evident.Enterprises should consider whether there is sufficient supply of raw materials before production.
In conclusion,cable enterprises should always maintain an objective and calm attitude when developing new products,rationally allocate the production capacity structure from the perspective of the enterprise itself,judge the market trend,and build a healthy enterprise production system from the perspective of market and sustainable development,so as to finally realize the stable development of the enterprise.
