The continuous fluctuation of raw material prices, especially the price changes of copper and aluminum, two key metals, has significantly impacted the production cost of high and low voltage switchgear.
Copper and aluminum, as important raw materials in high and low voltage switchgear, are widely used in key components such as busbars and connectors. In recent years, the prices of these two metals have experienced significant fluctuations. The rise in copper prices has brought considerable cost pressure to components using copper as the main raw material, such as transformers and certain types of high-voltage switches. Fluctuations in aluminum prices mainly affect products using aluminum components, such as some export transformers and high-voltage switches.
For high-voltage switchgear, due to its complex structure and the use of a large amount of copper, the impact of rising copper prices on its production cost is particularly significant. In contrast, although low-voltage switchgear uses relatively less copper, the price fluctuations of aluminum and other components should not be overlooked.
To cope with raw material price fluctuations, high and low voltage switchgear manufacturers have adopted various strategies, such as establishing long-term partnerships with suppliers, optimizing inventory management, improving production efficiency, and carrying out product innovation and optimization. These measures have mitigated cost pressures to some extent and maintained the competitiveness of enterprises.
In summary, the continuous fluctuation of raw material prices has had a significant impact on the production cost of high and low voltage switchgear, but manufacturers have effectively reduced this impact through flexible responses.
