At present, security cable manufacturers are mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. With the rapid growth of the security industry in recent years, there are a large number of manufacturers entering the security cable market.

Shanghai is a leader in the Yangtze River Delta region and has become China's most important cable product R&D base. The cable product R&D, manufacturing and supporting capabilities are the strongest in the country. At the same time, a number of private enterprises such as Shanghai Aipuhuadun and Tiancheng Cable Group are gradually growing. Due to the increase in manufacturing costs in recent years, a group of local Shanghai-based companies have gradually migrated outward to seek more opportunities for development. At the same time, cable companies in Yangzhou and Ningbo, Jiangsu Province, were affected by the development of real estate and public broadcasting systems, smart homes, and security industries, and they gradually emerged under the strong support of the local government, occupying a relatively large market share. Throughout the country, more than half of the northern markets are occupied by cable manufacturers in Yangzhou.

The Pearl River Delta Region is mainly based in Shenzhen. It has a large number of migrant workers and lower manpower costs. The cable companies have also developed earlier with the local demand for the security market. Here are gathered manufacturers such as Shenzhen Xundo, Lilutong, Akihabara, and Lianjiaxiang, which mainly occupy the markets in and around Guangdong Province, and the products have higher awareness and market coverage in China. In addition, enterprises in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Huizhou also rely on the advantage of the eastern coast to become an early developing enterprise in the cable industry.

From the surface, China's security cable industry has a good momentum of development. In fact, there are many problems. If these problems are not solved, it will be difficult for manufacturers to make breakthroughs.

The threshold is low, and the phenomenon of cutting corners is widespread.

Cables are used as basic construction products. Most of the production and inspection of products are fixed equipments, and the technical content is not high. At present, the state does not have much restrictions on individuals to open factories. Cable manufacturers only need to invest in purchasing necessary production equipment, and they can comply with state regulations in the production process. This has led to the existence of domestic workshop-style wire and cable factories. Even some manufacturers have not been registered, and there are no related product inspection certificates and quality inspection reports. The products are basically sold at low prices in various markets, and cannot be guaranteed. Quality and performance reliability.

At the same time, due to the increase in the price of raw materials, some unscrupulous manufacturers have reduced the cost, produced less than meters of wire, and even used copper-coated aluminum, recycled copper and other materials instead of oxygen-free copper.

Some industry sources pointed out that the current competition in the cable industry is disorderly, and the phenomenon of product shortage and shortage of materials is widespread.

In addition, the limited knowledge of cable products used by units also has a negative impact on the development of the industry. Some users do not attach enough importance to cable products. They do not know how to identify, purchase, and judge high-quality cable products. This has caused many projects to appear as “big horse-drawn cars”, that is, using front-end and back-end international brands as transmission tools. The cable is used in some products whose quality is not very good, resulting in the transmission performance of the system can not achieve the desired results. At present, this phenomenon is particularly serious in China.

Lack of uniform standards

At present, various cables have different standards depending on the field of use. Some cables are produced in compliance with national standards, while some cables are produced according to the standards of a certain industry, and some cables are produced according to the company's own standards. At present, most cable products in China are produced according to their own corporate standards.

According to the author's investigation, when cables are used in the power industry, the industry standard for power cables is enforced; in the communications industry, standards for communication cables are enforced in the communications industry; cable products are integrated in the broadcasting and TV industry, and fire protection industry. The performance and application requirements of the industry have set relevant industry standards. However, due to various objective conditions, the security industry has not yet established a technical standard for special cable products.

Industry development is in urgent need of guidance

In general, most of the current competitive pressures faced by most companies come from some non-regular market competition, and the industry's temporary lack of standards and other aspects. However, manufacturers need to restrict their own behaviors, in addition to requiring the state to exert necessary administrative intervention measures, such as restrictions on the export of raw materials (such as electrolytic aluminum) and non-deep-processed products, but also the high consumables industry such as wires and cables. The entry barrier to suppress the unplanned expansion of low-level production capacity. More importantly, companies should actively and independently innovate and promote the application of new technologies, new processes, and new materials.

For some formal enterprises, in addition to ensuring product quality and performance, they have put the promotion of internal production and marketing capabilities first. Some people have suggested that: At present, companies should increase their ability to compete more in channel sales networks, business models, brand value addition, and corporate capital operations. This is the top priority.
