China's instrumentation industry is facing a transformation

Benefited from the successive development of the 12th Five-Year Plan of the country's various related industries, China's instrumentation industry undoubtedly ushered in the best development opportunity in history. These include the country's strong support for new energy, such as Premier Wen Jiabao's government report in the two sessions in 2012 explicitly pointed out that the strong support for new energy, and the recent introduction of new energy during the 12th Five-Year period in various places in Beijing, Shanghai; environmental protection The major environmental protection equipment catalogues published in the 12th Five-Year Plan and the environmental issues in the municipal construction, energy-saving and emission reduction targets for high-energy-consuming enterprises such as steel and power plants. Among them, the most notable number is that PM2.5 is included in the ambient air quality standard, bringing about billions of business opportunities for the environmental protection instrument industry.

From the above series of actions, we can analyze that in the future, China's instrumentation industry will gradually infiltrate low-carbon, energy-saving applications, promising in these industries. However, in recent years, although China's instrumentation industry has achieved long-term development, whether it can meet this important task has become an anxiety issue for many industry experts. For example, Wen Xiangcai, a researcher at the Central Committee of China’s Revolutionary Revolution and China Environmental Monitoring Station, said in an interview that according to estimates, the total value of equipment purchased by the entire nationwide monitoring network is estimated at nearly 2.8 billion yuan. However, as far as the current level of China's environmental protection industry is concerned, there are not many domestic products that meet the standards and requirements for use. This means that once the construction of the monitoring network is started, 70% of the 2.8 billion yuan investment will flow into the pockets of foreign instrument manufacturers.

According to the data released by the China Instrument Industry Association, environmental equipment is only the tip of the iceberg of the fragile China's instrumentation industry chain. Although the data released by the Instrument and Instrument Express reported that the increase in imports of equipment in the last three months of 2011 was somewhat lower, it still reached US$35 billion in the year, while the export of instruments and meters in China only reached about 18 billion.

With Premier Wen Jiabao’s proposed 7.5% GDP growth rate, shifting China’s development speed to the quality of growth, China’s economic structure and direction of development will foresee profound changes in the coming years. Chinese instrumentation companies still face many problems. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have restricted their development due to their small scale, weak market power, lack of financing channels, insufficient talent pools, and lack of information resources. How the industry closely follows the pace of transformation, how to grasp these tremendous opportunities for development, how to counter foreign instrumentation counterparts, is still a long way to go.
