According to Cailian Press, transformer enterprises in multiple regions across China are operating at full capacity, with abundant export orders, and some have production schedules extending to 2027. Ultra-large-scale AI data centers have power loads exceeding 1 GW, comparable to the summer peak electricity consumption of a mid-sized city. Driven by growing global power infrastructure spending, ex-China demand for transformers remains robust and exports have hit new highs. Caixin Securities recommends paying attention to transformer producers with advantages outside China and related parts enterprises.
