With the development of economy, our country's merchant shipping capacity is far from meeting the market demand, and more new shipbuilding is needed to inject new power; and the rising tariff index also makes shipbuilding enterprises full of confidence in new shipbuilding investment. In the next 5 to 15 years, the position of the shipbuilding industry in China's industrial economy will be highlighted. The development of the shipbuilding industry in China can be described as the endless scenery, in full swing, playful, in the upstream of the industrial chain wire and cable industry, we should pay enough attention to this.

The rapid development of China's shipbuilding industry has also brought new opportunities for the development of shipbuilding manufacturers, and undoubtedly provided a broad market for the shipbuilding cable industry.

Marine wire and cable market demand is huge, and need a large number of special wires and cables, such as relatively high value-added wire and cable enterprises to develop marine products promising prospects.

The development of the shipbuilding industry will bring vitality to the marine cables, and the upgrading of the marine cables will speed up. As the nerve and blood vessel of a ship, wire and cable are directly related to the ship's safety, reliability, advancement and combat capability. Modern ships have laid cables of various specifications for more than tens of kilometers. In Europe, the prevalence of tanker vacations has stimulated the construction of tankers. Each tanker must lay more than 1000 kilometers of insulated cables throughout the ship.

Because of the special environment of the ship, the cables used are basically halogen-free and low-smoke special cables. There are various types of cables, usually fire-proof, waterproof, non-toxic, and easy to transport. Longitudinal water-sealed cables, umbilical cord cables will be widely used, low-smoke cables and flexible cables, marine power cables and marine communication signal cables and other special cables and cables will also be displayed, together with ship repair and wharf related facilities, will also provide unlimited business opportunities for other common types of cables and cables.

In addition, there are military ships, underwater vehicles (torpedoes, baits, reconnaissance) dedicated cables (wires and cables and fiber optic cable), bright market prospects. Shipboard cables can be classified into two categories: Civil and electrical cables and warships. At present, the use of wire and cable in the civil shipping industry is the top of the shipbuilding industry, but the technical requirements are particularly high.

From the point of view of usage, we can divide the marine cables into three kinds:

1. Use of marine power cable: It is used for power, lighting and general control of various ships and offshore oil platforms.

2. Use of Marine Control Cables: Used for general control of various ships and offshore oil platforms.

3. Use of marine communication cable: It is used for signal transmission and control system in various communication, electronic computer and information processing equipment.

It can be seen that in the golden period of rapid development of the shipping industry, the demand for marine cable is increasing, but the development potential is also great. Because it is a marine cable, so the technical requirements are high, so the necessary investment in new technology, there will be more harvest.
