Problems and countermeasures for the further development of instrument industry
China's manufacturing boom in 2004 was second
It is reported that in 2004, China's manufacturing boom appeared in the instrumentation and cultural, office machinery manufacturing industry in the second place.Mechanical and electrical equipment manufacturing, instruments and meters (ultrasonic flowmeter) and document, office machinery, nonmetal mineral products industry, general equipment manufacturing and mechanical and electrical equipment manufacturing, communications equipment, computers and other electronic equipment manufacturing, plastic products, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry, ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry as well as cultural and sports goods manufacturing industry ranked 10th.
The industry's overall demand continues to grow
Most of the products in high demand, technical progress and product restructuring, effective.Industrial automation systems and supplies of scientific instruments such as instrumentation, optics, analysis, electronic measurement, and test instruments, measuring and mapping instruments, medical instruments, environmental monitoring equipment, balances, gauges, and gas meters are rapidly increasing.Especially DCS, intelligent instruments, digital surveying and mapping instruments, multi-purpose meters and transmission management systems, electronic gas meters and other high-tech products are growing rapidly.With its own intellectual property rights, DCS system and instruments are widely used in thermal power plants, small and medium-sized petrochemical enterprises and public utilities with a capacity of less than 300,000 kw. Domestic DCS system has also begun to enter into thermal power plants with a capacity of 600,000 kw, and self-developed oilfield two-phase flow measurement equipment has successfully entered the Middle East market.The global control valve market, which totaled nearly $3 billion in 2002, is expected to reach $3.5 billion by the end of 2007, with an average annual growth rate of 3%, the people said.
However, there are also industries that limit demand according to national policies and industry characteristics.At present, the production capacity of domestic electrical products has been seriously surplus, the entire industry is in a dangerous state.The cost performance of some cutting-edge products, such as electronic energy meters, is obviously competitive with the existing products.
The structural adjustment of enterprises has produced obvious results
Through structural adjustment, war fighting and other related measures, the growth of sales revenue and profits of public enterprises has been greatly accelerated, showing a trend of double-digit growth, which is emerging from stagnation and reducing difficulties.Compared with a few years ago, the development momentum of private enterprises has slowed significantly.Sales and profits now account for more than half of the industry, and assets far exceed those of public and private companies.
Total imports and exports continued to rise
As imports and exports continue to rise, revenue is expected to exceed us $12 billion in 2004, but growth is expected to decline by 10-13 percentage points year-on-year.DCS, PLC, industrial automation instruments, semiconductor chip and component testing equipment, electronic communication testing equipment, optical instruments, analytical equipment, etc., increased significantly in the imported products.The imports of electricity meters, water meters, magnifying glasses, telescopes, microscopes, thermometers, gauges (ultrasonic flow meters) and other products with which China already has a comparative advantage are continuously decreasing.Our country precision instrument should strengthen the independent research and development ability
China's instrument industry experts point out that most of the instrument products in China are in the middle and low level, the production status is not satisfactory.High-end large equipment and equipment almost all rely on imports, products and many core components accounted for more than 60% of the domestic market.Domestic analytical equipment accounts for less than three thirds of the world market share.What is the cause of the significant difference between domestic instruments and imported goods?The overall quality of the products of domestic enterprises is not only lagging behind the imported products, but also analyzes that the lack of policy protection is the factor that leads to the scenery of the imported products in the domestic market.The deeper underlying reason is that, starting in the early 1990s, the fields of highly descriptive automated instruments and systems, scientific examination bodies, sensor components and so on were dominated by imported, joint-venture product competition.In the process of introduction, joint venture and localization, domestic enterprises have insufficient research on the core technology of products, and cannot upgrade their products independently.China has joined the world trade organization, so tariffs on opportunities are further lowered, and foreign companies are expected to speed up their entry into the Chinese market.To win the competition with foreign enterprises, Chinese enterprises must have a good "technology view" and speed up their technological progress.
