I. Industrial Value and Development Bottlenecks
As an emerging power transmission material, aluminum alloy cables promote industry product upgrades with notable advantages such as lightweight, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency. However, the core bottleneck lies in the weakening and insufficient implementation of technical solutions, resulting in a gap compared to mature foreign markets.
II. Focusing on Core Issues
1. Solidified Procurement Philosophy: Influenced by the "low-price winning bid" model for copper-core cables, procurement evaluations focus on compliance with national standards and qualifications while neglecting scenario adaptability and lifecycle safety, leading the industry into a "price-driven competition.".
2. Prominent cognitive misconceptions: Confusing "test report = safety guarantee" and "national standards = scenario adaptation." Products that comply with standards but lack scenario-specific adaptation pose safety risks in special environments (e.g., coastal, high-altitude, etc.).
3. Simplified Solutions: Amid intensified market competition, enterprises have reduced technical solutions to "national standards + test reports," abandoning scenario-based design and end-to-end services, thereby constraining industry development.
3. Optimization Direction: Reconstructing Technical Solutions
1. Clarify the core definition: Focus on segmented scenarios (such as new energy and rail transit), covering the entire chain from "demand research - production manufacturing - operation and maintenance support," emphasizing scenario adaptation, safety across all stages, and practical implementation.
2. Drawing on international experience: Refer to the "Safety-First" comprehensive solution of Southwire Company in the U.S., and optimize from three aspects:
Product side: R&D scenario-specific cables (e.g., corrosion-resistant models for marine engineering, long-distance transmission-optimized models);
Server-side: Establish a full lifecycle service system covering "pre-sales - in-sales - after-sales.";
Industry side: Promote the upgrade of procurement standards by incorporating scenario adaptation and lifecycle cost considerations into the evaluation process.
IV. Summary of Development Trends
Domestic aluminum alloy cables will transition from "product competition" to "solution competition." As demand in emerging fields evolves, the integrity, scenario adaptability, and safety of technical solutions will become core competitive advantages, helping the industry move from "emerging" to "mainstream."
