Development trend and observation of instrument industry in China

Instruments and meters industry services in the petrochemical, steel and other industries have also been a very positive signal. For example, November 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information technology and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of Industrial Economics, published in 2011, the autumn report of China's industrial economic operation showed that in January-October, the petrochemical industry increased the value of 14.5%, faster than the size of the industrial increase in value growth. However, the report also predicts that the growth rate of China's petrochemical industry will slow down gradually next year, as the downstream industries are affected by lower demand for petrochemical products and increased pressure on energy saving and emission reduction. Led by many factors, instrumentation industry will face structural inflection point.

(1) The problem of overcapacity shows the steel industry where to go? After several years of rapid development, China's steel industry is entering the peak, overcapacity problem gradually emerged. Held in the seventh session of the Bohai Iron and Steel Market Forum, the Ministry of Industry related Personage pointed out that 35, China's steel demand will enter the peak arc, about 800 million tons, the industry will show low growth, low profitability of the running trend. Improving steel standards and accelerating product upgrades will be an important task for the steel industry during the 35 period.

(2) Analysis of the low level of the instrument industry repeat production phenomenon. Domestic instrumentation industry and foreign countries still have a huge gap, for example, the key core technology is scarce, low-level duplication, product stability and reliability can not be fundamentally resolved, in high-end precision instruments are still heavily dependent on imports, a large number of imports on the industrial development of adverse impact, while the low level of the production of instrumentation is particularly prominent.

(3) The instruments and meters of 2011 major technical equipment were selected. In order to improve the innovation and development level of equipment manufacturing industry, cultivate strategic emerging industries, promote the transformation and upgrade of traditional industries, meet the needs of national economic and national key construction projects for major technical equipment, the Ministry of Industry and Informatization has completed the compilation of the catalogue of the guidance of independent innovation of major technical equipment (2011 edition

(4) Total power Installed capacity of October to break through 1 Billion-kilowatt. Tan Rongyao, director of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, said today that as of the end of October this year, the national total power generation installed capacity has exceeded 1 Billion-kilowatt, is expected to reach 1.04 billion kilowatt year. Tan Rongyao today at the ABB Power World Forum, said that although the total installed capacity of more than 1 Billion-kilowatt, but the growth rate is still lower than the increase in electricity consumption, so if the coal power conflict is not resolved next year and hydropower continues to weaken, the power supply will continue to be tight.

In the next 5 years, China's various instruments and meters market demand is very large, mainly:

1. Industrial automation instrumentation and control systems

At present, the national economy is in a special period of time, in the maintenance of rapid and healthy development, in the infrastructure, basic industries, agriculture, real estate industry and High-tech areas to increase investment. Therefore, the national economy in the next period of time, to create a number of major projects, at the same time a large number of enterprises in order to improve product quality, improve economic efficiency to maintain a strong social competitiveness, the need for technical transformation, therefore, from the overall trend of national economic development, for industrial automation instrumentation and control system will form a larger social needs. In the next five years, the average annual demand growth rate can reach more than 15%.

2. Scientific instrument

Scientific instruments According to the original mechanical system instrumentation classification method, in addition to including a variety of analytical instruments, but also includes optical instruments, testing machines and laboratory equipment three categories. Optical instruments mainly include various microscopes (biological microscope, such as microscope and electron microscope, geodetic instrument (theodolite, leveling, etc.), optical measuring instrument (tool microscope, projector, angle measuring instrument and machine tool accessory optics, etc.), physical optics instrument (spectrograph, light gauge, spectrophotometer, monochromator) , polarization instrument, refractometer, etc. and optical testing instruments. Testing machine mainly includes a variety of metal materials testing machine, non-metallic materials testing machine, nondestructive flaw detectors and dynamic balancing machine. Laboratory instruments mainly include precision balance, drying box, vacuum instruments, strain gauges, environmental testing equipment, calorimeter and acoustic instruments. Below according to the analysis instrument, the optical instrument, the test machine and the laboratory instrument four parts separately describes.

(1) Analytical instruments

China's analytical instrument product imports for many years high, indicating that domestic products in the technical level, variety, quality, automation, intelligence and complete sets of similar products compared to the international level there is a large gap, but also shows that users of the high level of analytical equipment products demand is growing.

The main imported products are mass spectrometer, NMR spectrometer, chromatograph, chromatography mass spectrometry, plasma spectrometer, sewage monitoring instrument, gas and smoke monitor, high-performance fluorescence spectrometer. From the performance level of imported products analysis, middle and high-end products accounted for the proportion of 55% and 45% respectively. With the use of microelectronics technology and computer technology and new technology, materials to improve the level of domestic analytical instruments, the increase in imports will gradually reduce.

China's analytical instruments are the fastest-growing type of instrumentation in scientific instruments, at present, with the rapid development of national economy, the continuous strengthening of scientific research, the continuous improvement of people's living standards and many domestic industries gradually with the international standards, along with the industrial production of product quality online analysis, food safety and environmental toxic and harmful , the importance of life science, can predict the future domestic demand for analytical instruments will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend.

(2) Optical instruments

Optical instruments are widely used in various fields of national economy and People's life. At present, the supply and demand of optical instruments can be summarized as follows: The production quantity is big, the increase amplitude is obvious, the supply and demand are basically in balance. Some of the middle and low-grade products oversupply situation, and the high-grade product varieties, lack of Mendocino, and the performance of foreign products there is a clear gap.

Product structure is the popularity of middle and low products demand greater than the demand for high-grade products, the demand for mature products greater than the new development of products, the demand for brand-name products than the demand for ordinary products. Biological microscope, body vision microscope, theodolite, leveling, projector, visible spectrophotometer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, Abbe refractometer, binoculars, telescope is still a wide range of optical instruments in demand for a large series of products.

(3) Testing machine
