Why is the world accelerating its sourcing of Chinese power equipment?

From transformers and connectors to adapters and grid-related solutions, global demand is rising as AI expansion, data center growth, renewable energy integration, and grid modernization continue to reshape the power industry. China’s integrated manufacturing ecosystem and scalable delivery capacity are making it an increasingly important sourcing destination for overseas buyers.

Market signals are clear: in 2025, China’s transformer exports reached RMB 64.6 billion, up nearly 36% year on year, while the country’s manufacturing capacity accounted for about 60% of the global total. These advantages are helping global buyers secure more reliable and competitive supply options in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

If you are looking for sourcing opportunities, supplier connections, and first-hand market insights, join us at EP Shanghai 2026, the 33rd China International Exhibition on Electric Power Equipment and Technology, taking place Dec 3–5, 2026 at Shanghai New International Expo Center, China. EP is presented as the largest and most established specialized electric power exhibition in China, bringing together more than 2,200 exhibitors/brands across 86,000 sqm.

Let’s meet in Shanghai and explore the future of power equipment, smart grids, energy storage, and cross-border business collaboration.
