Analysis of Global Power Market
Analysis of China's Power Operation Market
Value Chain Analysis (2/2)
In 2018, the total coal consumption in China was 3.9 billion tonnes and a majority part was consumed by the secondary industry which took 94.4% of the total
consumption. Among the secondary industry, the top 5 industries occupied 85.4% of the coal consumption, and the electric power and heat generation
industry accounted for the largest part due to the large coal demand from the coal-fire power plants.
The industrial sectors contributed most of the power consumption in 2018, which took 69.0% of total power consumption. However, with the structural
transformation of China's economy towards the development of the services industry, the power consumption in tertiary industry has increased rapidly. In
terms of power consumption growth rate, the compound average growth rate of the industrial sectors and the services industry was 5.3% and 13.1%,
respectively, from 2016 to 2018, indicating the growth of the services industry was faster.
Among the secondary industry, the top 5 power consuming industries contributed to 62.5% of the secondary industry power consumption in 2018, and the
electric power and heat generation industry was also the largest power consumer, followed by ferrous and non-ferrous metals smelting and pressing
industries. Similarly, in 2016, the same 5 industries consisted of the top 5 power consuming sectors in 2016 and accounted for 63.6% of the secondary
industry power consumption. However, the smelting and pressing of non-ferrous metals and manufacture of chemical products took the second and third
place of the top 5 power consuming industries in 2016.
