As the cornerstone of electrical systems, electrical components are widely used in many fields such as electric power, electronics, communication and control. There are many types and different functions, including switches, indicators, relays, fuses, AC contactors, circuit breakers and counters. According to the application field, it can be divided into industrial control components, automotive electronic components, consumer electronic components, etc. Taking low-voltage electrical equipment as an example, its electrical components include contactors, cabinet instruments, transformers and electrical sensors, which together form the core components of the electrical system.
In recent years, the global electrical components market has continued to expand, and this growth trend is mainly due to the in-depth development of technological innovation, intelligence and automation trends, as well as the continuous emergence of new application fields. Together, these factors have injected new vitality into the electrical components market and promoted its sustained and steady growth.
Taking the circuit breaker as an example, as an electrical device used to protect personal safety and equipment safety, its main function is to cut off the power supply line in time to prevent the expansion of the accident when the equipment leakage fault occurs and when the personal electric shock protection with fatal danger occurs. The leakage circuit breaker has overload and short-circuit protection functions, which can be used to protect the overload and short-circuit of the line or motor, and can also be used for infrequent conversion and start of the line under normal circumstances.
As a mature field, the leakage circuit breaker industry has the characteristics of stable market demand. Its demand is mainly driven by multiple factors such as electricity consumption, electricity safety standards and building scale, showing a certain degree of market resilience. However, behind the prosperity of the industry, the market competition is also extremely fierce. Many well-known brands and small and medium-sized enterprises have launched fierce competition in terms of brand influence and service level, forming a diversified and complex competition pattern. Despite the fierce competition, the innovation capacity of the RCB industry is relatively weak. This is mainly due to the relatively low technical threshold of the industry, which leads to the lack of core technologies and patents, and the low degree of product differentiation. In addition, due to the relatively low production scale and input costs, the concentration of the leakage circuit breaker industry is also relatively low, and there has not yet been an absolute monopoly or oligopoly, and the market share is scattered. This market structure not only brings diversity of competition, but also provides more development opportunities and challenges for enterprises.
According to data from Shangpu Consulting Group, in 2022, the global leakage circuit breaker market size will reach 105$800 million, a year-on-year increase of 51%, and for the whole year of 2023, the global leakage circuit breaker market size is expected to reach 111200 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 51%；In 2022, the market size of China's leakage circuit breaker will reach 19.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 61%, in the whole year of 2023, it is expected that the market size of China's leakage circuit breaker will reach 20.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 63%。East China is the largest region in China's leakage circuit breaker market, accounting for nearly three-and-a-half of the market share. This is mainly due to factors such as the developed economy, high electricity consumption, and the development of the construction and industrial industries in East China. South China and North China rank second and third, respectively, and are also important regions for China's CTB market. The Southwest, Northwest, Central and Northeast China are relatively small, but there is still some market potential.
The electrical components industry is in a period of technological innovation, not only emerging many cutting-edge technologies, the competition pattern in the industry is also undergoing profound changes, with the advancement of intelligent manufacturing, the electrical components industry is gradually changing from the traditional production mode to the digital, intelligent, high-end new production mode.
MicroelectronicsIt not only provides a solid foundation for the electrical components industry, but also becomes an important engine to promote industry innovation. As integrated circuits and semiconductor devices become more sophisticated, microelectronics are enabling electrical components to achieve higher performance, smaller size, and lower cost. At the same time, microelectronics technology also plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the interconnection between products and improving the level of system intelligence. Miniaturization is also one of the important development trends in the electrical components industry, with the rapid development of microelectronic technology, electrical components are becoming more and more compact and lightweight, not only easy to carry and install, but also can effectively reduce the volume and weight, thereby reducing costs and energy consumption. This trend of miniaturization not only improves the portability and aesthetics of products, but also opens up more possibilities for innovative applications.
Sensing & Inspection TechnologyIt is a powerful assistant for the intelligent transformation of the electrical components industry. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and intelligence, sensing and detection technology is becoming more and more important. Whether it is remote monitoring, data acquisition or automatic control, it is inseparable from the support of sensing and detection technology. The continuous progress of these technologies not only improves the intelligent level of electrical components, but also brings more development opportunities to the industry.
Power electronicsThe application in the electrical components industry is also extensive and deep. With the rapid development of new energy, smart grid and other fields, power electronics technology plays an increasingly important role in power conversion, motor control and renewable energy applications. The continuous innovation of power electronics technology not only improves the energy efficiency and reliability of electrical components, but also provides strong technical support for the sustainable development of the industry, and greatly improves production efficiency.
In the context of economic globalization and new scientific and technological revolution, the electrical components industry is undergoing unprecedented changes, and intelligence and automation are the inevitable trends of industry development. With the help of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, electrical components are gradually realizing intelligent functions such as remote monitoring and maintenance to meet the market's demand for efficient and reliable solutions. In addition, with the improvement of environmental awareness and the concept of sustainable development, the electrical components industry has begun to actively promote environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving technologies, reducing the impact of products on the environment is not only in line with the requirements of social development, but also an important guarantee for the sustainable development of enterprises.
At present, the diversification of application fields has led to the increasing personalization and specialization of customer needs, in response to this situation, customized services and specialized products will be an important direction of development, through a deep understanding of customer needs, to provide products and services that meet their needs. The future electrical components not only have powerful information collection, processing and transmission capabilities, but also realize advanced functions such as remote monitoring and intelligent control, which greatly improves production efficiency and intelligence, and at the same time adopts environmentally friendly materials and energy-saving design, strives to reduce energy consumption and emissions, and contributes to sustainable development.
