The demand of environmental protection and efficiency drives the protection business. The company cut into the garbage furnace protection business in 2017, and its customers are Kang Heng Environment, Everbright International, Green Power and other leading enterprises of waste incineration and power generation. The growth of garbage incinerator protection business is mainly based on: (1) due to the stricter environmental protection policy, waste incineration has become the main way of waste disposal in the future, and there is still room for growth in the construction of waste incinerators in the future. (2) the reduction of municipal solid waste incineration subsidy in the past two years has led operators to pay more attention to power generation efficiency. Therefore, more and more municipal solid waste incineration power plants purchase more types of medium-temperature sub-high pressure and sub-high temperature sub-high pressure operating furnaces, which leads to the aggravation of the corrosion problem of municipal solid waste incinerators. The market demand for municipal solid waste incinerator protection increases.
Industrial noise reduction business has achieved rapid growth. The company's noise reduction business is dominated by industrial noise reduction, and coordinated development of building acoustics and traffic noise reduction business. It is estimated that the whole market scale of noise pollution control is expected to reach 380-40 billion. The growth of acoustic noise reduction business is mainly based on: (1) the introduction of environmental tax law has promoted enterprises to carry out factory noise reduction projects; (2) the company has a certain customer base, the original customer groups such as electricity, cement, steel and other customer groups can have a synergistic effect on the development of the company's acoustic noise reduction business; (3) Evergrande Acoustics added "first-class qualification of environmental protection engineering professional contractor" in 2019, and the improvement of qualification makes the scope of bidding wider. At present, Evergrande Acoustics is growing rapidly in the field of industrial noise reduction.
