From “Product Export” to “Global Ecosystem”: Global Launch of the China New Energy Power & Electrical Going-Global Research Report

Jointly released by Hejun Consulting's Power & Electrical Division and WTC Singapore

Global launch of the China New Energy Power & Electrical Going-Global Research Report

Beijing, 11 September 2026 — During the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), the global launch ceremony of the China New Energy Power & Electrical Going-Global Research Report was held at the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) pavilion in Beijing's Shougang Park. The research report is jointly released by Hejun Consulting's Power & Electrical Division and WTC Singapore, under the theme “From Product Export to Global Ecosystem”. It examines the pathways, market landscape and trends of the globalisation of China's new energy power and electrical industry, providing reference for relevant companies as they expand into overseas markets and advance localised operations.

This joint release focuses on the structural changes now taking place in the course of the internationalisation of China's new energy and power & electrical industries. As Chinese companies accelerate their expansion into overseas markets, the international operations of enterprises are moving from a primary focus on product sales and order acquisition, progressively extending into deeper operational dimensions such as market entry, channel development, service systems, organisational capability and localised cooperation.

For industries such as new energy and power & electrical, products entering overseas markets is only the starting point of international operations. Whether a company can sustainably participate in local market competition increasingly depends on its understanding of the target market, and on the comprehensive operating capability it forms around product, standards, channels, service, organisation and cooperation networks.

Against this backdrop, moving from “product export” to “capability export”, and further to “ecosystem export”, is becoming an important direction that Chinese new energy and power & electrical companies need to pay attention to in their international development.

From Product Export to Global Ecosystem

Based on the actual needs of the international development of China's new energy power and electrical industry, the China New Energy Power & Electrical Going-Global Research Report systematically reviews the pathways, market landscape and future trends of the industry's globalisation, and pays attention to issues such as market opportunities, the competitive environment and operating models involved in the process of companies expanding into overseas markets.

In the past, when Chinese companies entered overseas markets, they relied more on product competitiveness, cost advantage and sales channels to obtain orders. As industry competition and the market environment continue to change, the question facing companies has also gradually shifted from “can the product be sold” to “how to sustain operations after entering the market”.

This change places higher demands on companies.

From products entering a market, to adapting to the standards and rules of the target market; from establishing sales channels, to forming sustained service capability; from the landing of individual projects, to establishing stable organisation and operating systems; from single-client cooperation, to building long-term relationships with local industry partners — companies need to progressively complete the transformation from an export business to global operations.

Therefore, the core of companies' international competition is also extending from single-product capability to comprehensive operating capability.

Combining Industry Research with an International Network

This research report is jointly released by Hejun Consulting's Power & Electrical Division and WTC Singapore, and is an exercise in industry research and international cooperation carried out by both parties around the international development of the new energy power and electrical industry.

Hejun Consulting's Power & Electrical Division has long focused on the power equipment and new energy services fields, continuously following the development of the energy and power industry and the international operations of enterprises, and has built up professional expertise in strategy consulting, management consulting, industry research, and investment and financing services.

Relying on the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) global network, WTC Singapore carries out international trade, investment and business resource connection, providing support for companies to expand into international markets and establish cross-border cooperative relationships.

This collaboration between the two parties combines industry research with international market connection. On the one hand, it reviews the practice and trends of the international development of Chinese new energy power and electrical companies from an industry perspective; on the other hand, it strengthens the connection of information and resources between Chinese companies and overseas markets and industry partners through the international network.

For companies, the value of this connection does not lie in simply adding one more overseas channel, but in helping companies better understand the needs, competitive environment and commercial conditions of the target market, and incorporating overseas market information into their international operating decisions.

From “Going Out” to “Going In”

China's new energy industry has formed a relatively complete industrial base and strong industrial competitiveness, and the focus of companies' international development is also shifting from “whether to enter overseas markets” to “how to build sustainable operating capability after entering”.

Especially for industries with long industrial chains and high technical and standards requirements, such as new energy and power & electrical, after companies enter overseas markets they also need to face a series of operating issues including the policy environment, market demand, commercial rules, channel systems, service systems and local industry relationships.

Therefore, “product export” solves the problem of market entry, “capability export” concerns the issue of sustained operations, while “ecosystem export” further involves how companies form long-term cooperative relationships with customers, partners and the local industrial system.

The China New Energy Power & Electrical Going-Global Research Report reviews this change, paying attention both to the pathways by which Chinese new energy power and electrical companies expand into overseas markets, and to the operating issues they face after entering those markets.

From “going out” to “going in”, what companies need to accomplish is not simple geographic expansion, but a further extension of operating capability and organisational systems.

From Industry Agenda to Systematic Enablement

The release of the China New Energy Power & Electrical Going-Global Research Report this time is more than an industry research result; it is also committed to providing practical reference and support for the international operations of Chinese new energy power and electrical companies.

Around the practical problems companies face in the process of going global, the research report systematically reviews the pathways, market landscape and risk picture of industry globalisation, helping companies calibrate their international strategic planning, open incremental overseas markets, and identify and guard against systemic risks, providing weathervane-style decision-making reference for companies to move forward steadily in a complex and volatile international market environment.

For Hejun Consulting's Power & Electrical Division, this joint release is also a further extension of its research on the international development of the new energy and power & electrical industries; for WTC Singapore, it is the establishment of a more concrete connection between the international network and industry research.

Going forward, the two parties will continue to carry out research and exchange around the international development of industries such as new energy and power & electrical, pay attention to the practical problems companies face in expanding into overseas markets, and promote the formation of more effective connections between industry research and international market resources.
