As China’s “Internet Valentine’s Day” 520 (May 20) approaches, industrial procurement teams are gearing up for an opportunity that goes far beyond roses and chocolates.

At Apter Power, we’re excited to launch our annual “520 Automation Parts Sale,” offering manufacturers and maintenance managers a chance to secure essential spare parts at up to 30% off.

Whether you manage a petrochemical plant, a steel mill, or a power station, this article will walk you through why 520 matters for industrial purchasing—and how you can make the most of our limited-time discounts.

Why “520” Has Become a B2B Procurement Phenomenon

Traditionally, May 20th’s online frenzy has been all about consumer romance: the numbers 5-2-0 sound like “I love you” in Mandarin, and e-commerce platforms capitalize on that sentiment.

However, in the last two years, industrial buyers have discovered that this same window offers substantial savings for high-value, mission-critical components. Consider these industry-wide statistics:

ü 32% projected growth in China’s overall online sales on May 20, 2025, compared to the previous year (iResearch).

ü 45% average annual increase in inquiries for automation spare parts surrounding 520—as manufacturers seek bulk discounts for mid-year stocking.

ü 87% of plant maintenance managers report that buying during promotional events reduces per-unit costs by 5–10% and significantly mitigates supply-chain risks.
