Since 2004, the main business income of major enterprises in China's insulator lightning arrester industry has continued to grow rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of nearly 25%. With the improvement of technology in China's insulation product manufacturing industry and the acceleration of economic development in countries such as East Asia and South Asia, major domestic enterprises have seized the opportunity to actively explore international markets, and the export delivery value of the industry has been increasing year by year. According to relevant research predictions, the compound annual growth rate of sales revenue in China's insulator lightning arrester manufacturing industry from 2012 to 2015 is 17.83%. In 2015, the sales revenue of the domestic insulator lightning arrester industry will reach 40.3 billion yuan.

In recent years, China's power industry has developed rapidly, and the installed capacity of generators has been increasing year by year. According to statistics, the installed power generation capacity in China was 962 million kilowatts in 2010, a year-on-year increase of 10.08%. As an indispensable component of power transmission and transformation equipment, insulator lightning arresters are closely related to the development of the power industry.

According to the "2012-2016 Analysis Report on Production and Sales Demand and Investment Forecast of China's Insulator Surge Arrester Manufacturing Industry", the power industry is the most important application market for insulator surge arrester products. At present, many power projects in China, such as the construction and renovation of urban and rural power grids, the West East Power Transmission Project, the construction of electrified railways, and the launch of the ultra-high voltage product market, not only provide broad market space for the development of the insulator surge arrester industry, but also put forward new requirements for the industry product market, promoting the adjustment of the market structure of insulator surge arrester products and the research and development of new technologies.

With the implementation of the national "Twelfth Five Year Plan" for power generation, China's power grid construction will be characterized by large capacity, long distance, large span, and ultra-high voltage, thereby driving the demand for insulator lightning arresters for million volt level transmission and transformation series; The development of China's power grid towards ultra-high voltage and large capacity has promoted the national cross regional ultra-high voltage interconnection project, which has raised the requirements for the performance of insulator products. Insulators with high strength, good pollution resistance, and high reliability will become key products for future development in the industry.
