The infrastructure construction of computing power is accelerated, and the demand of the industry continues to release
Under the overall layout of the state, the trend of computing power infrastructure represented by “counting from the east to the west” is accelerating, and the investment computing power has a long-term multiplier effect on economic growth. According to IDC data, in 2021, the sales volume of China’s server market increased by 12.7% year-on-year to 163.2 billion yuan, and the shipment volume increased by 8.4% year-on-year to 3.911 million units, leading the world. The server carries all kinds of information systems, ranging from bank deposit and withdrawal, telecom billing, securities trading and power dispatching to people’s online shopping, mobile payment, mobile chat and brushing the circle of friends. They are inseparable from the background information system and the support of the server. In recent years, the communication industry and the financial industry are introducing high value products. The demand for digitization is increasing, and the demand for server products is also growing rapidly. In addition, the proportion of enterprise market has also increased. Considering the tight market supply, material price fluctuation and other market uncertainties since the second half of 2021, the company has actively prepared goods and actively expanded inventory to ensure customer supply and delivery.
In the first quarter, the performance improved significantly and the downstream recovered significantly
In the first quarter of this year, the company’s revenue and profit increased significantly, mainly due to the increase of customer demand and the growth of server sales. In addition, the sharp improvement of business in the first quarter was also affected by comprehensive factors such as exchange rate, provision of two preparations and delivery rhythm. From the perspective of customer structure, the increment mainly comes from the Internet industry and communication industry. Among them, the demand of the Internet industry will gradually change from the previous high-speed growth to high-quality growth, but there will be continuous demand for old and new and forward-looking investment. We expect that the annual growth rate will not be as radical as that in the first quarter, but compared with the weak industry demand and the cyclical decline of servers last year, the certainty of the recovery of downstream demand this year is high.
