Wiring and Pipeline Infrastructure Construction in China industry analysis

Revenue of the Wiring and Pipeline Infrastructure Construction industry in China is expected to grow at an annualized 5.3% over the five years through 2024, including a 2.9% increase in the current year, to total $111.6 billion. Several factors contributed to strong growth over the period, like acceleration of China's urbanization and large government investments in utility infrastructure construction.
As this industry provides public services that facilitate economic and social development, it is strongly supported by the Chinese Government. In April 2022, the Chinese Government has decided that infrastructure that is conductive to leading industrial development and maintaining national security should be appropriately advanced to stabilize economic growth. In the past five years to 2024, fixed investment in infrastructure in China will increase at an average rate of 4.5%.
As of 2024, the total length of oil and gas pipelines in China is expected to total 155,300 kilometers, increasing at an average rate of 4.2% in the past five years to 2024. The total length of long-distance optical cable lines in China will reach 1,132,000 kilometers, growing at an average rate of 0.9% in the current performance period.
Industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualized 5.0% over the five years through 2029, to total $142.3 billion. Technology advancing automation and increasing investment from the government are anticipated to be the main drivers of industry growth. Wiring and pipeline construction in rural areas is still relatively underdeveloped, so the Chinese Government is forecast to focus on developing the industry in those areas.
