In the first half of 2010, Kunshan, Jiangsu export wire and cable 265 million US dollars

According to industry insiders, Kunshan wire and cable products are mainly exported to the United States, Australia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other countries and regions. The wire and cable industry has a wide range of products, covering a wide range of applications involving electricity, construction, communications, manufacturing and other industries. , It is an indispensable basic material for transferring electric energy, transmitting information and manufacturing various motors, instruments and meters, and achieving electromagnetic energy conversion.

However, the wire and cable industry is currently facing great challenges. First of all, the wire and cable industry is a typical “ light heavy industry ” industry. The price of raw materials often accounts for 70%-80% of the total cost. Bring great difficulties. In 2009 , due to the large fluctuations in copper prices, the wire and cable industry was greatly affected, the growth rate slowed down significantly, and even a negative growth phenomenon occurred. Secondly, the wire and cable industry market access threshold is low, With the continuous entry of private and foreign-funded enterprises, the scale of the industry has continued to expand, and the market competition has become increasingly fierce.

 
The inspection and quarantine department suggested that wire and cable enterprises should increase the grades of export wire and cable, reduce low-level competition, and increase the added value of products. In response to the volatility of copper prices, enterprises should also increase investment in materials and accelerate the upgrading of technology, especially the special High-voltage wire and cable, high-energy-saving materials and other high-tech high value-added product research and development production, to fill the gap in Kunshan area UHV wire and cable.
