Zhongshan makers focus on high-end switching power supplies

摘要

Realizing slim profits from low-end and midrange switching power supplies, Zhongshan makers are opting to produce more high-end models to boost sales. Rising costs of raw materials and components have compelled most of them to raise prices by about 10 percent in the last 12 months. Zhongshan remains one of the major production hubs for switching power supplies in mainland China. In the past several years, the city has achieved total sales of about $20 million, posting an annual growth rate of over 15 percent. Most makers attribute such growth to strong demand from the communication, emergency lighting, automotive electronics and portable electronics sectors.
