The report said: “One prominent emerging trend in this market is long distance power transmission. New technological developments such as 1000 kV AC transmission lines and 800 kV DC lines, long distance transmission has become a convenient solution for addressing the energy imbalance situation in China.”

According to the report, one of the major drivers is the geographical mismatch of energy resources. The energy sources in China are diverse and placed very far off from demand centers. Demand for electricity has a positive influence on the development of T&D infrastructure in China.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges that the market confronts is the lack of a unified national grid, which poses problems in reliable power supply to energy deficient regions.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
