Smart grid construction boosts growth of power carrier chip market

In 2012, the second phase of the strong smart grid investment and construction of the State Grid has entered the phase of comprehensive construction. Benefited from the promotion of the national smart grid construction, China's power carrier chip market continues to grow rapidly, with sales and sales increasing by 45.5% and 56.6% respectively. At the same time, applications such as IoT smart home, smart security, and broadband networks have also become an impetus. The growth of domestic power carrier chip market is an important force.

Strong demand for smart meters to promote market growth

As one of the world’s major power meter manufacturers, China’s electricity meter shipments have grown steadily in recent years. In 2012, China’s total output of electricity meters reached 110 million units, of which smart meters accounted for more than half of the total. The State Grid accelerated the bidding and procurement of power grid equipment such as smart meters, concentrators, and collectors. In 2012, the shipment of smart meter chips reached 53.339 million, an increase of 56.6% year-on-year; the scale of the power carrier chip market reached 770 million yuan, a year-on-year increase. 45.5%. With the gradual promotion of applications such as IoT smart home, smart security, and broadband networks, the demand for power carrier chips will also grow rapidly.

SoC Single Chip Solution Leads Technology Upgrade

The early ammeter chip solution is a multi-chip combo solution, that is, the chips such as the microprocessor chip (MCU), carrier chip, amplifier, and memory are independently installed on the mainboard within the carrier table, and the collaborative processing is implemented to realize the information management of the user's power consumption. Features. With the continuous development of SoC chip technology and continuous improvement of integration, the power carrier chip integrates and encapsulates MCU, low noise amplifier, A/D, D/A converter, digital clock, tuner, and memory chip in a single package. On the chip. This SoC single chip solution reduces the chip area while reducing the chip's power consumption and cost, and becomes the direction of the evolution of smart meter chip technology. At present, the domestic mainstream chip solutions still remain in the multi-chip combination of the program, in 2012 only Neusoft carrier SoC single-chip shipments are large, the future major chip vendors will gradually transition to SoC single-chip solutions.

The monopoly pattern of local enterprises continues to be stable

From the perspective of competition, the domestic power carrier chip market is in a monopoly pattern. CR4 reached more than 92%. Four companies, namely Qingdao Dingxin, Neusoft Carrier, Fuxing Xiaocheng and Miia Microelectronics, have almost monopolized the domestic power carrier chip market. In terms of the global power carrier chip market, Broadcom (acquires Atheros) holds a large market share of global power carrier chips. Different from foreign markets, the foreign power carrier chip has been unable to open the domestic power carrier chip market because of high product prices, imperfect technical support and after-sales service. Domestic companies rely on low-cost chip solutions and better technical and service support to firmly occupy the main share of the domestic power carrier chip market.

Market size is expected to exceed 1 billion in 2013

Under the influence of favorable factors such as the continued rapid development of the smart grid and the gradual deepening of the application of the Internet of Things industry, China's power carrier chip market will continue to maintain rapid growth, and the market scale will continue to expand. It is estimated that in 2013, the domestic power carrier chip market will exceed 70 million units, and the market size is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan. With the rapid increase in the volume of power carrier chip shipments, the future growth rate will also slow down slightly.

From the perspective of product application structure, the application of power management in 2013 still occupies a major share of the power carrier chip market. With the slowdown in the national grid smart meter tender growth in 2013, the power management application power carrier chip will occupy a market share that will drop to 78%. Benefiting from the promotion of the construction of “Safe City” in major cities in China, the proportion of security monitoring applications in the power carrier chip market will steadily increase. With the increasing demand for domestic residential improvement, smart homes are gradually entering the mid-end residential market from the high-end residential market. It is expected that the proportion of smart homes in the terminal residential market will increase slightly in 2013. The share of smart home offices in the power carrier chip market will steadily increase. Smart industrial applications show a slight growth trend, and the smart carrier industry will see a slight increase in the power carrier chip market. The proportion of the entire application market in the total scale has a slight downward trend. The typical product of the power carrier chip in broadband network applications is the electric broadband cat. Although China Unicom has attempted to promote the use of broadband internet access for cats in some districts in Nanjing and Beijing, it has been slow due to the unstable voltage characteristics of the domestic power grid. That is, it is difficult to solve the problem of interruption of network connection caused by the drop in the voltage during the peak period of power usage, and the promotion progress is slow. With the gradual improvement of the stability of the power grid in the future, the power broadband cat access network market will have a slight increase, but due to the fiber-to-the-home access network squeeze, the market growth rate will be very limited. The proportion of the power line carrier chip market for broadband network applications will show a declining trend.
