Relay

Market Development Trend <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> Relevant statistics show that the high value-added products in the relay industry in China have been greatly improved in recent years, and in some areas, they have gradually replaced imported products For instance, in the import and export trade, although the number of relays in China has decreased, the export value has increased, indicating that the additional value of export relays has been increased, that is, high value-added relays have significantly increased their share in the number of exports.

Although the proportion of high-end products and high value-added products in the relay industry in China has been significantly improved, the level of its technology and quality have also been significantly improved, but low-end and low-value-added products still account for the vast majority of output. The price war derived from this has not been eliminated, and there has even been a growing trend in some of the general relays used in home appliances, such as small plastic products.

The current market development trend is that electromechanical relays are gradually becoming weaker, solid-state relays are developing rapidly, and electromechanical-solid modular relays are in the ascendant. Therefore, related companies must make efforts to adjust their product structure and market structure, and high-end products should continue to tackle technological problems. End products should be transferred to low-cost areas in accordance with the world trend.

Related companies should further develop the new market, segment their markets, identify market positioning, take the “professional, refined, and sharp” road, and explore newer and better places.

Market Opportunities <br> With the gradual implementation and deepening of China's ten industry promotion policies, the demand and application fields of relays will continue to expand and expand in consolidation. Traditional electromechanical relays will still maintain a growth rate of no less than 7% to 8%. The development speed of solid state relays will be close to 15%, and special relays will develop at a speed of more than 20%. China's relay industry will gradually accelerate its transformation from a “manufacturing power” to a “creative power”. From the export to the domestic demand, exports will keep pace with each other. Especially after high-end products are overcome, the trend of domestic demand will become clearer. Presented a variety of market opportunities:

In 2009, China's automobile production and sales reached 13.5 million and became the world’s largest automobile production and sales country. According to relevant experts' forecasts, there will be 15 million vehicles in 2010 and will develop at a speed of more than 10% during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. New energy and electric vehicles will be developed in an extraordinary way with energy-saving emission reduction and low-carbon economy, which provides a strong driving force for the growth of automotive relays. Automotive relays will develop at a rate of more than 15% per year, especially for relay products for new energy and electric vehicles.

Under the background of national revitalization of equipment manufacturing industry, investment-type industrial control relays will usher in new opportunities for development. In particular, the smart grid transformation has been put on the national development strategy agenda, plus wind power and solar power generation will be a long period in the future. The time will be strong and the high power relays used will have a great demand.

Urban rail transit has been wiring nearly 100 in major cities across the country. China will vigorously develop high-speed railways in the next few years. Therefore, subways, rail transit, high-speed railways and their locomotives have become the highlights of a new round of economic development. They use highly reliable relays. Demand. Traditional electromechanical relays have become inevitable in order to adapt to this demand to the electromechanical solid-state assembly.

The national large aircraft project has entered the implementation stage. High-frequency relays used in high-reliable sealed relays for aviation and ground navigation, communication equipment, and automatic control will usher in new opportunities for development.

The industries of ship, port and wharf, construction machinery, etc., which the relay industry does not pay much attention to, have provided new development space for relay applications due to their harsh environment of use and their upgrading and development. In 2008 alone, the shipbuilding completion volume of the Chinese shipbuilding industry reached 22.28 million DWT, accounting for 29.5% of the world's share, and it has leapt to the second place in the world. In 2009, the shipbuilding completion volume increased by more than 40% year-on-year, which accounted for a further increase in the world's shipbuilding market share. The number of orders for new vessels surpassed South Korea for the first time to reach the top in the world with a total of 42.43 million dwt. Large vessels with high levels of automation, as well as special ships such as cruise ships and private yachts, require hundreds of thousands of relays each, and they are numerous in variety and considerable value. Their markets are promising.

The application fields of special relays such as optical relays, temperature relays, and high-frequency relays are constantly expanding. The technology, quality, and output levels of domestic manufacturing are far from meeting the market demand.

The "triple play", especially the development of the "Internet of things" and 4G, will enable new types of relays such as optical relays and high-frequency relays to achieve greater and faster development, becoming the new bright spot for the relay industry during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period.

Corporate Strategy <br> China's relay industry's independent innovation capability and its core competitiveness have yet to increase dramatically. The transition from labor-intensive to technology-capital-intensive must be driven by strong promotion of independent innovation, with a strong emphasis on non-price factors such as technology, quality, and brand, and consolidate the basis for industrial development to achieve healthy and sustainable development.

To this end, enterprises must quickly shift from doing "products" to "quality" in the optimization and upgrading, and strive to "profit, brand" from "market and order". Only good quality can have more orders, more market share, and a better brand image, and it can only gain greater profits. Brand image is a necessary condition for sustainable development of enterprises. Starting from “products” to enhance “quality”, “quality” to establish “brand” and embark on the road of brand economic development, companies can cultivate and condense true core competitiveness. China's relay industry can move from a "manufacturing country" to a "creating country" in a solid and rapid manner.

The large and complete form of most enterprises must be changed in the structural adjustment. The specialized production of spare parts is not only the guarantee of product quality, but also the direction of economies of scale and mass production. It is also an inevitable trend of reducing manufacturing costs and positioning advantages.

To make full use of the pattern of world industrial adjustment in the post-financial crisis, most of the current manual production modes, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, have been transformed into semi-automated assembly and manufacturing modes that use automation or man-machine integration. The Central Government’s policy on vigorously supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises has provided new opportunities for the development of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in the relay manufacturing industry. This is an opportunity to vigorously increase the level of manufacturing technology and further improve the quality of the technology. Vigorously improve the level of automated testing, increase the manufacturing, assembly automation engineering capacity factor to the world's advanced level, or quickly reduce the gap with the developed countries in the relay manufacturing, process level. Leveraging on the development of new products leverages structural adjustments and opens up new markets.

The latest technology development direction <br> Technology development in various fields such as communication and control put forward new requirements for relay technology. High-frequency relays and optical relays will become the focus of development in their respective application fields. The latest development direction of relay technology mainly includes: Relays for communications will continue to grow in the future, accounting for 1/4 of the global relay market. High-frequency relays are the main direction of its development, in the field of telecommunications, wireless communications, broadband transmission access, etc. Driven by demand, it has become a new platform for the replacement of electromechanical relays and a next-generation communications technology to accelerate the improvement of the booster. Smaller size, suitable for surface mounting, high reliability and excellent anti-interference performance of communication relays are in demand; the fourth generation of new communication relays required for future 4G development will become the mainstream of its development.

The fourth-generation communications relay technology has gradually matured, and the third generation of mobile communications has provided a good market prospect.

Sales of automotive relays account for more than 20% of total relay sales. Due to the re-division of the world's auto manufacturing layout, the production and sales of auto relays in China will develop at an annual rate of not less than 15%. Its development trend is the combination, that is, the integration of traditional switch relays and microelectronics technology to expand its function, from the control of "elements" to control "devices". Electric, hybrid, and new energy vehicles are the new directions for their applications, and electromagnetic compatibility and technological applicability will become the key. Miniaturization, high current (load), low power consumption, high sensitivity, high reliability, functional combination, low cost, light weight, good electromagnetic compatibility, flame retardancy, and applicability to hostile environments are the mainstream of development direction.

Solid state relays (SSRs) account for 15% of the global relay market, and are still growing strongly. The momentum is undiminished and is expected to reach more than 20% in the next few years. Miniaturization and low-cost are the directions to be overcome in its universal application, and the improvement of the packaging process is the main direction to improve its environmental adaptability and high reliability.

Optical relays/microelectronic relays are necessary for the development of electronic products in the direction of digitization, automation, and miniaturization. Optical relays/microelectronic relays have expanded their application fields due to their advantages such as low leakage rate, good isolation, and excellent output characteristics. Optical relays for the "Internet of Things" are preferred products due to their high sensitivity and high reliability, and will be an important direction for the development of next-generation relays.

Electromechanical-solid modular relays are powerful and joint products that have both advantages and avoid disadvantages. They are used in a large number of devices in certain application fields, and the complementary technical characteristics become the development trend in the future.

Surface mount relays have been widely promoted due to their suitability for large-scale, high-precision production. Lead-free relays have become the development direction of relay manufacturing technologies and processes due to adaptation to environmental protection requirements.
