Inverter Application Area Expands 2012 Demand Growth Slows

Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the expansion of the market and the diversification of customer demand, the function of industrial-control converters on the domestic market has been continuously improved, with higher degree of integration and systematization, and more convenient operation. According to statistics, the growth rate of China's inverter market is as high as 20%, far exceeding the GDP growth rate over the same period. At the same time, the application fields of frequency converters are constantly expanding. From the initial production and processing equipment to central air-conditioning, from heavy machinery to light textile industry, significant economic benefits have been achieved.

Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" was promulgated, benefiting from such strategies as energy-saving emission reduction and environmental protection, the frequency converter has become an important equipment in the field of variable frequency speed control, and its industry has become a huge market potential in the coming years. According to calculations, the energy-saving rate of motor systems using frequency converters is generally around 30%, and some high-level applications can reach 40% to 60%. Energy-saving effects are significant.

From the above data, we can see that the competition in the inverter industry in China has become increasingly fierce, and the market has formed a certain scale. The considerable potential market capacity has continuously attracted new players in the industry. In recent years, the development of frequency converter technology has made it unprecedentedly popularized and applied in the modernization field, and the market will have great potential.

There are already many listed companies in domestic inverter companies, and the first choice is in the high-voltage inverter market with huge demand. There is a Hekang frequency inverter, Rongxin shares, Zhiguang Electric and Jinzi Tianzheng.

However, it is worth noting that the 2012H1 low-voltage inverter market shipments fell 10% -20% year-on-year, will remain in the doldrums in the second half. The 2012H1 low-voltage frequency conversion market showed a negative growth; demand in the high-voltage frequency conversion market began to slow down. In the past 6-7 years, the shears maintained a relatively high growth rate, the 2012 economic growth rate declined, investment slowed down, and the penetration rate of high-voltage frequency conversion markets increased. Caused the market demand to slow down, the domestic brand price still bottoms out, the foreign brand has the drop space.
