Instrumentation overseas development golden period

China's instrumentation industry has been growing at a rate of more than 20% for four consecutive years and is at a high speed and stable development stage. The restructuring and transformation of instruments and meters are relatively fast. A considerable part of state-owned enterprises have already become private, and foreign-funded enterprises account for about half of the total. At present, China’s enterprises account for about 55.1% of the industry’s sales revenue, with a profit of 54.59%. The rest are foreign-funded enterprises. The industry’s overall overall technological level is developed by the developed countries in the mid-1980s, and the degree of intelligence and digitization achieved is 15% respectively. 30%; import and export deficit is relatively large, high-end products basically rely on imports to maintain; middle and low product market satisfaction rate is about 65%, middle-to-high-end scientific test equipment from scratch, the market satisfaction rate is about 30%. China's instrumentation industry is affected by the decline in demand under the financial crisis, low-cost vicious competition, exchange rates and other factors, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a forecast report that this year China's instrumentation industry sales growth continues to decline, is expected to decline by 8% -15%, slowing down.

In 2004, the production and sales of China's instrumentation industry exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time, and it is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan at the beginning of the 11th Five-Year Plan, and reach 300 billion yuan at the end of the 11th Five-year Plan, with an average annual growth rate of 20%. Digitalization, intelligence, and networking of instrumentation systems have become the highlights of growth. In the late period of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the number of digital instruments reached more than 60%. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China’s export of instrumental products maintained an annual growth rate of around 30%, with an increase in imports of approximately 20%. The average annual growth rate of industrial automation instrumentation and control systems was approximately 25%, of which the market potential for electricity was very large. The control system of the main equipment, such as oil refining, will be scaled, scaled up, and diversified; the annual growth rate of scientific test equipment is expected to be 20%, the market sales at the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan will exceed 150 billion yuan, and the export volume will reach 6 billion US dollars. .

In the next few years, the digitized and intelligent development trend of instrumentation in China will not change, but it also has two major characteristics:

First, electrical instrumentation has entered the golden age of overseas development. China is the country with the strongest instrumentation in developing countries, and it has scale advantages and international competitiveness in electrical products. According to statistics, the exports of electricity meters reached 1.71 million units in January-November 2008, which exceeded the total exports in 2007; the export amount increased by 41.88%. Such products have low technological content and obvious price advantages, which are conducive to exports. For a long time to come, Southeast Asia and other developing countries are at the peak of infrastructure construction and there is a great demand for instrumentation products. According to Ren Dianyi, secretary general of the Electrical Instrumentation Branch of the Instrument and Instrument Association, along with the continuous maturation of China's electrical instrumentation product technology, digital instruments, a small amount of electric energy meters for network ports, automatic test systems, monitoring systems and other high-end products are exported in these countries. The amount will be greatly improved.

Second, the automatic control system representing the industry level and backbone field instrumentation and key precision test instruments will be subject to policy tilt. Most of the high-end products in this part of the product are occupied by multinational corporations, and the product technology is about 10 to 15 years behind the international level, but it is crucial to our national economy. Therefore, the country tends to focus on supporting the development of this part of high-end products. According to the requirements of the 'revitalization opinion', the instrumentation industry will formulate a 'significant project automation control system and key precision test equipment' special plan and gradually implement it. The most critical of these is the breakthrough in product core technology and the launch of pilot projects.
