Direction of Marine Economy Development: Diversified Expansion and Innovation-Driven
▲ The marine economy is developing toward diversification, high-end, and sustainability, with cables serving as a key supporting component, and supply and demand are showing new trends as they evolve
Core Summary
The marine economy is thriving in multiple fields, each with different cable demand characteristics, and the supply market also shows corresponding trends, with the interaction between supply and demand driving industry progress.
Deep-sea resource development: from exploration to industrialization
Development trends: Deep-sea oil and gas extraction technology is mature, commercial mineral resource extraction has entered the experimental stage, and there is great potential for biological resource research.
Cable Supply and Demand:
Requirements: Special cables that are resistant to high pressure, low temperature, and corrosion; demand for ultra-deep-sea (>3000 meters) cables is increasing, and the demand for signal transmission cables will rise significantly.
Supply: Ultra-deep-sea cables are tightly supplied, with only a few international companies able to produce them, while domestic companies are accelerating R&D to catch up.
Marine Renewable Energy: A New Blue Ocean for Green Development
Development Trends: Offshore wind power installed capacity is growing rapidly, developing towards larger scale, intelligence, and deep-sea capabilities; new energy sources such as tidal energy are making progress in research and development.
Cable Supply and Demand:
Demand: Offshore wind power requires a large number of submarine cables and collection cables, and deep-sea projects are increasing the demand for long-distance, high-voltage submarine cables.
Supply: Domestic companies can meet the needs of most offshore wind power projects and are expanding into international markets, but some high-end products rely on imports.
Marine high-end equipment manufacturing: Technology leads industrial upgrading
Development trends: Equipment is developing towards large-scale, precision, and intelligence; performance optimization of oil and gas equipment and engineering equipment; intelligent enhancement of monitoring equipment.
Cable Supply and Demand:
Demand: A large number of highly reliable, weather-resistant control cables and power cables are needed, with higher requirements for cable transmission speed and anti-interference capability.
Supply: Domestic companies can provide some customized products, but the supply of core cables for high-end equipment lags behind international standards, and the proportion of mid-to-high-end products needs to be increased.
Marine ecological economy: Sustainable development becomes the core demand
Development trends: Marine tourism develops in an ecological and personalized manner; the marine carbon sink industry is emerging.
Cable Supply and Demand:
Demand: Tourism supporting facilities require environmentally friendly cables, and facilities related to the carbon sink industry require cables to be corrosion-resistant and aging-resistant.
Supply: Companies are actively developing and supplying cable products that meet environmental standards.
Regional marine economic cooperation: Building a new pattern of coordinated development
Development trends: Domestic coastal areas are forming characteristic marine economic zones, and international cooperation is diversified.
Cable Supply and Demand:
Demand: Regional industrial clusters drive cable demand, such as the Yangtze River Delta requiring high-performance cables and the Pearl River Delta requiring precision electronic cables.
Supply: The supply and demand flow in the cable sector has increased, with complementary international trade. China exports high-quality cables and also imports some high-end products.
Marine Digital Economy: Intelligent Reshaping of Industrial Forms
Development trends: The construction of the marine big data platform is advancing, and technologies such as artificial intelligence are widely applied.
Cable Supply and Demand:
Demand: The need for high-speed, stable communication cables is increasing, and the need for submarine optical cable installation continues to rise.
Supply: The submarine optical cable supply market is receiving attention, and related companies are actively making arrangements.
