As a leading enterprise in the field of chip inductors in China, SUNLORD's development history is a breakthrough in the industry from technological catch-up to global leadership. Since its establishment in 2000, the company has always focused on the fields of magnetic and microwave devices. Through material innovation, process iteration, and vertical integration, it has gradually broken the monopoly of international giants and grown into a "hidden champion" in the global electronic components industry.
1、 Technological foundation and domestic substitution (2000-2005)
In 2000, Yuan Jinyu founded Shunluo Electronics in Shenzhen, entering the niche field of chip inductors that was monopolized by Murata and TDK. In the early days, the company focused on the research and development of stacked inductors, achieved domestic production of dielectric powders through independent formulas, and mass-produced 0603 size inductors in 2003, breaking the technological blockade of international manufacturers. In 2004, Shunluo became a supplier to Huawei and entered the communication equipment market. In 2005, the shipment volume of stacked inductors exceeded 1 billion units, establishing a leading position in the domestic market.
2、 Technological breakthroughs and global expansion (2006-2015)
In 2007, Shunluo went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and raised funds for the research and development of thin film technology. In 2009, the company developed the world's first 0201 size ultra miniature inductor with a thickness of only 0.3mm, which is used in smartphones and wearable devices. In 2012, Shunluo acquired Dongguan TDK subsidiary to acquire key equipment and processes, accelerating the localization of high-end products. In 2015, the company's inductor products entered Apple's supply chain, increasing its global market share to 8%, forming a market pattern of "Japanese manufacturers focusing on high-end and smooth coverage of mid-range".
3、 Vertical integration and diversified layout (2016-2020)
In 2016, Shunluo launched a vertical integration strategy of "materials devices modules":
Material side: independently developed ferrite and alloy powder, reducing raw material costs by 30%.
Device side: Expand RF devices such as LTCC filters and ceramic antennas to cover 5G communication modules.
Module end: Launch power management modules and wireless charging coils to enter the automotive electronics and IoT markets.
In 2018, the company built the world's first 01005 inductor fully automatic production line, with a single line production capacity of 2 million pieces per day. In 2020, Shunluo Inductance had a global market share of 14%, becoming the third largest supplier in the world, and its automotive electronics business accounted for over 20%.
4、 Intelligent cars and high-end breakthroughs (2021 present)
Facing the wave of automotive electrification, Shunluo focuses on three major directions:
Automotive grade inductors: Developed high temperature resistant (150 ℃) and anti vibration (military grade) products, certified by AEC-Q200, applied to BYD and Tesla battery management systems.
Ceramic components: Launch high-Q microwave dielectric ceramics, covering 5G base stations and satellite communication frequency bands.
Modular solution: Integrating inductors, capacitors, and filters, providing a vehicle power management module with an efficiency of 95%.
In 2023, Shunluo's R&D investment will increase to 8%, and an automotive electronics dedicated line will be built in Ningbo. The Changzhou factory will be put into operation in 2024, and the production capacity of automotive grade products will be expanded threefold. The company is synchronously laying out terahertz devices for 6G communication and jointly developing filters for frequencies above 300GHz with Huawei and ZTE.
5、 Core competitiveness and industry status
The competitive advantage of Shunluo Electronics is reflected in three dimensions:
Materials Science: Independently develop ferrite and alloy powder formulas to achieve domestic substitution of dielectric materials.
Precision manufacturing: The stacking accuracy of 01005 inductor reaches ± 1 μ m, and the thin film process achieves nanoscale circuit control.
Vertical integration: Control the entire process from powder to module to ensure product consistency and delivery efficiency.
By 2025, Shunluo Inductors will have a global market share of 18%, ranking second in the world, and the automotive electronics and industrial control fields will account for over 50%. The company is driving towards its annual sales target of 20 billion yuan with the dual wheel drive of "material innovation+intelligent manufacturing", continuously consolidating its leadership position in the electronic components industry.
