With a marked acceleration in investment in new energy industries, high-technology industries, advanced equipment manufacturing and real estate development, there is an increased demand for the automation of industrial distribution and the intellectualization of civil distribution, and the market for low-pressure electrical equipment sets is promising.

Industry analysts point out that, in recent years, low-pressure electrical kits have been widely used for power packages in various areas, such as modern industrial enterprises, new energy development and real estate construction, and that the production and marketing of products are well under way. As investment projects for grid construction continue to grow, and as the demand for railway electrification and urban orbital transport increases, the industry will also be open to wider markets.

It is understood that the market for the sale of high-pressure electrical products is mainly domestic. Currently, the vast majority of products produced by low-voltage appliances are purchased by low-voltage plant manufacturers and are then assembled into distribution screens, power distribution tanks, protection screens, control screens, etc., and sold to users as a complement to power generation equipment, distribution equipment, electrical transmission automatic control equipment, etc. Private-sector enterprises dominate the production of high-pressure and low-pressure appliances in China, accounting for more than 60 per cent of annual output and revenue from sales. Foreign-owned enterprises account for about 30 per cent of annual production and sales earnings.

National policies will promote the development of low-pressure electrical kits. At present, we are deepening institutional reforms, strengthening the power grid, vigorously developing hydropower, optimizing the development of coal power, actively developing nuclear power, properly developing natural gas power, accelerating the development of new energy sources, paying attention to ecological environmental protection and improving energy efficiency. Thus, the high-pressure switch industry for high-pressure sets should be an opportunity for the full construction of a strong smart grid, supported by ultra-high-pressure, direct-flow power transmission projects, to enhance its own innovation capacity, to boost the intellectualization of switches, to promote environmental protection, energy efficiency and emission reduction; and to focus on the development of ultra-high-pressure transmission technologies and advanced electrical equipment and integrated technologies.

The 2010 - 2013 China Market Analysis and Investment Values Study of High-voltage Low-voltage Electrical Devices sets, published, shows that, in the face of good market prospects, enterprises should actively pursue the development and development of switches for special occasions,** switch equipment and renewable power generation (such as wind power). Efforts were made to conduct research and development with forward-looking, directional technologies and equipment, and to study in depth key technical issues in systems research and equipment packages.
