The trillion-dollar feast on the inverter attracts more local participants

Since the launch of the 12th Five-Year Plan, energy conservation and emission reduction have become the key to the development of various industries. The application of various energy conservation and environmental protection products is more extensive and the prospects are clearer. As an important equipment in the field of Variable Frequency Speed Regulation, the inverter industry has huge market potential in the next few years.

In large-scale distributed renewable energy power generation, inverters play an important role in both power electronics and information communication technologies. According to data released, the Global Renewable Energy inverter market was $2011 billion in 7.2 billion. It is predicted that the scale will multiply in the next five years and will exceed $2017 by 19 billion. The inverter enables the power-saving rate of the motor system to reach about 30%, or even 40% ~ 60%. In the next few years, the demand for low-voltage inverters will maintain a growth rate of more than 20%, and the high-voltage inverter industry will maintain a growth rate of more than 40%. The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is the core component of the inverter. At present, the domestic IGBT market is still mainly controlled by foreign enterprises, and enterprises with technical advantages are expected to take the lead in importing replacement.

Driven by industrial energy saving

The inverter was initially used for speed control. With the development of technology and the increasing demand for energy efficiency, it is gradually used in the Energy Saving field. The power saving rate of the motor system using the inverter is generally about 30%. In some cases, the power saving rate can reach 40% ~ 60%, the energy saving effect is remarkable. Nowadays, the inverter is now the development direction of motor energy saving.

According to the analysis of the prospect of the inverter industry, the variable frequency speed control technology used in the coal industry earlier is the mine hoist, at present, the inverter has been widely used in developed countries for Speed Control of belt conveyors or start Control of Belt Conveyors, fan speed control and water pump speed control. In addition to improving the transmission performance, the inverter is used in the above equipment to save energy.

On the other hand, the power industry is also one of the important application fields of inverter products. From the control process related to inverter in China's thermal power plant, the transmission devices of wind, coal, water, slag and exhaust gas systems are suitable for the application of medium and low voltage inverters.

Variable Frequency energy saving will become the main battlefield of future competition

Automation Control is inseparable from the inverter. medium and low voltage appliances are even more space for expansion of the inverter. In the face of the trillions of Yuan "Feast", can the inverter Industry share the geometric structure?

Although the frequency converter has many advantages, due to price issues, its large-scale promotion and use are currently limited, and it is in the embarrassing situation of "not shouting.

According to the Prospect Analysis of the inverter industry, there are more than 300 inverter manufacturers in China, but the strength and scale are uneven. Some enterprises still adopt the workshop-style production model, with the main brands maintained in 20 ~ 30. The domestic inverter market is developed based on the entry of foreign brands, with foreign brand preemptible. At present, the domestic inverter market shares approximately.

Most local enterprises have not been established for a long time, and many products have entered the market for a short time. In terms of product maturity and brand awareness, it is difficult to compete with internationally renowned brands. Local enterprises mainly produce V/F control products. Most domestic enterprises have not developed mature products for vector inverters with superior performance and high technical content.

For example, some inverter manufacturers adopt outsourcing operations. For example, outsourcing of some inverter components may lead to potential quality risks due to improper management.

With the rise of local brands, the market share of local inverter enterprises is gradually expanding, especially in recent years, the trend of accelerating the replacement of foreign brands.

At present, due to technical and capital strength constraints, the development of local enterprises is "in place ". According to industry experts, the current growth rate of inverter installation capacity (Power) in the Chinese market is about 20%. It is estimated that the inverter market will become saturated and mature after at least 10 years.

According to market research reports of the inverter industry, the market scale of medium and low voltage electrical equipment inverters has increased by 10% ~ 15%, but for the first time in 2011, the growth rate of high-voltage inverters exceeded 30%, and the market size is expected to be close to 20 billion yuan.

However, the inverter industry for medium and low voltage electrical equipment is a strong cyclical industry, closely related to the national economic cycle. At the same time, although the drivers of automated transformation and high-end equipment upgrade are not changed, some small and medium-sized enterprises last year, under the strict national tightening policy, are facing difficulties in raw material price increases, labor costs increase, and loans, capital investment for new equipment procurement and technological transformation is facing a financial dilemma, and demand for inverters is slowing down. The use of acceptance bills by medium and small users also reduces the enthusiasm of channel vendors for market development.

The energy-saving inverter market prospect is very attractive

China's inverter market is currently in a period of rapid growth and has been widely used in textile machinery, air conditioners, elevators, metallurgy and other industries. In the past few years, China's inverter market has maintained a high growth rate. According to estimates, according to the requirements of the Chinese market, the market will be saturated and gradually mature after at least 10 years. Therefore, the Chinese inverter market has a broad space for development. According to the market structure, the market share of domestic brands in China only accounts for 20% to 25%.

According to the growth of companies in the industry, they achieved good growth in the first half of the year. This is also an important reason for organizations to conduct intensive research after the semi-annual report. Some analysts pointed out that China's macro-economy tends to be weak since the first half of the year. Despite this, according to the semi-annual reports disclosed by listed companies in the industry, the actual market development has exceeded market expectations.

According to Prospect Analysis of the inverter industry, the total potential market space of the inverter in China is approximately 120 billion ~ RMB 180 billion, of which atmospheric frequency converters account for about 60% of the market share. The demand for medium and high voltage frequency converters is relatively small. However, due to the high power and high price of a single frequency converter, it also accounts for about 40% of the market. At present, there are at least 0.18 billion kilowatts of motor with Variable Load and energy-saving potential in China, thus providing a huge market for inverter applications.

Data shows that in recent years, China's inverter market has maintained 12% ~ The growth rate of 15% is expected to maintain a growth rate of more than 10% in the inverter market at least within the next five years. After 10 years, the inverter market will gradually become saturated.

Of course, with the improvement and diversification of user requirements, the functions of inverter products are constantly improved and increased, and the degree of integration and systemization are also getting higher and higher. In addition, special energy-saving inverter products have emerged in some fields. The energy-saving principle of the inverter is: the inverter enables the Motor and Its drag load to adjust the speed output according to the production process without any changes, reducing the power consumption of the motor, it has a huge and unique advantage in the field of energy conservation and emission reduction, achieving the goal of efficient system operation.

According to the Prospect Analysis of the inverter industry, the competition in China's inverter industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Because the market is very attractive, not only the market has formed a certain scale, but also the potential capacity is also very considerable, attracting new participants in the industry, the development of inverter technology, the frequency converter has been widely used in modern fields such as electric power, cement, elevator, mine, metallurgy, and transportation. We believe that the frequency converter will become more and more widely used and has a promising market prospect. Inverter enterprises should better establish the concept of energy conservation by taking advantage of the "12th Five-Year Plan" Energy Conservation and emission reduction. Taking the energy-saving performance of the product to a higher level will be very advantageous for the future development of inverter enterprises.
