Gains will be fueled by strong gross fixed investment in power grid, telecommunication and building construction, as well as by further increases in production of products that incorporate insulated wire and cable. In order to accommodate the needs of the rapidly expanding industrial sector and to provide a solid foundation for continued economic development, the Chinese government is focusing on expanding and modernizing the country’s utility facilities, including power grids and telecommunication networks. This is providing significant opportunities for power, electronic and telephone wire, and fiber optic cable suppliers. A favorable outlook for construction expenditures will also help stimulate advances in building wire and cable. Increasing shipments of key end-use products such as electrical, electronic and transportation equipment will fuel demand for apparatus, electronic and automobile wire and cable.
Power wire & cable to stay largest product segment
Power wire and cable is expected to remain the largest product segment and post the fastest growth through 2011. Government efforts to improve China’s power grid will be the principal driver of demand for power wire and cable. For example, China plans to have established a backbone network of ultra-high voltage power transmission by 2020. Fiber optic cable and electronic wire will also see favorable opportunities through 2011 as the country increases its telecommunications, computer networking and data communication capabilities.
Electric utilities, electronic/ electrical markets to see favorable growth prospects
The electric utilities market for insulated wire and cable is expected to post the fastest rate of growth, reflecting increasing electricity production and the need to upgrade the country’s transmission and distribution network. Favorable gains will also come in electronic and electrical equipment markets, where demand is supported by an expanding communication network and a growing electrical sector. Market gains for wire and cable in building construction, industrial equipment and transportation applications will be healthy, bolstered by further increases in construction expenditures and industrial and transportation equipment shipments.
Opportunities in China vary by geographic region
As with gross fixed investment activity, the size, growth and composition of wire and cable demand in China differ substantially from region to region. The Central-East will remain the largest regional wire and cable market, accounting for more than two-fifths of overall demand in 2011. However, the fastest rate of growth is anticipated in the Northwest. Market gains will primarily benefit from the government’s Go West strategy, but also reflect the relatively small base from which advances are derived. Wire and cable demand growth in the Central- ast and Central-North regions will also exceed the national average, benefiting from favorable business conditions.
