During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, it is the fastest-growing five-year history of China's online analytical instrument industry. After entering the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, it faces an online analytical instrument industry with a new environment and new situation, with clear goals and tasks, and a clear development direction. . However, as the industry has said: "The development of domestic online analytical instrument industry is still a long way to go."

"Eleventh Five-Year Plan": The growth rate of online analytical instrument industry exceeds IT

The “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period is the fastest five years for the development of China's analytical instrument industry. Its symbol is four aspects: industry scale, operation quality, technological progress and structural adjustment.

From the perspective of technological progress, China's online analytical instrument industry has basically completed the transition from analog to digital technology in the past five years, and has made great progress in intelligent and networked technologies. A number of technologies have reached or approached the level of international high-end products, and have already achieved industrialization. Domestic control systems have entered large-scale projects, breaking the monopoly of foreign companies and have strategic significance for national economic security.

In 2010, China's import of analytical instrument products was US$28.954 billion, an increase of 38.74% year-on-year; exports were US$14.278 billion, an increase of 34.01% year-on-year; of which imports of scientific instruments were US$15.73 billion, accounting for 45.6% of the instrumentation industry, up 35.23% year-on-year. Although the import figures are much higher than the export figures, the development of the online analytical instrument industry during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period actually exceeded the booming IT industry.

Industry development still faces three major contradictions

Despite good results in the past five years, there are still many weak issues in the industry. For example: high-end domestic equipment technical indicators and performance indicators are generally lower than similar foreign products, scientific and technological investment and independent innovation ability is weak, domestic equipment stability and reliability and foreign product gap is obvious, basic technology is weak, but also includes manufacturing and the use of instruments Weak industrial technology personnel.

Experts pointed out that after experiencing the historical period of rapid development during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, China’s analytical instrumentation, especially the online analytical instrument industry, is facing the contradiction between “seeking” and “supply” and the contradiction between “steady” and “high”. , And the contradiction between business investment and market entry.

In order to resolve the above contradictions, China's "Twelfth Five-Year" analytical instruments also introduced relevant policy measures. Including national assessment of key projects, engineering instrumentation equipment, establishment of a national-level development technology innovation platform, increasing the proportion of national allocation of funds in projects, policy support for joint mergers and acquisitions, and increasing support for innovation capacity building of technology centers .

"Twelfth Five-Year Plan": The Task is Difficult and the Industry Needs to Work Together

The highly developed information technology brings new situations and new challenges to the online analytical instrument industry. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, China has clearly defined the tasks and objectives for the online analytical instrument industry development. Among them, there are several numerical indicators: the total output value reaches or approaches RMB 1 trillion, the average annual growth rate is about 15%, and the total profit reaches 713. 100 million yuan. Exports exceed 30 billion U.S. dollars, of which exports from domestic companies account for more than 50%. The quality of domestically produced brand products has risen as a whole, and the proportion of sales made by domestic companies to total domestic sales has increased to more than 70%.

In addition, the objectives of China's related industries include: basically complete the automation of equipment control systems in petrochemical, thermal power, nuclear power, wind power, rail transportation and other fields. The domestic brand discrete automation control system achieves mass production. Basically meet the needs of key areas represented by environmental protection, food and drug safety, and emergency public safety handling. The organizational structure was optimized and upgraded, and the three industrial clusters in the Yangtze River Delta, Chongqing, and the Bohai Rim were actively cultivated to form three to five ultra-billion-dollar enterprises and one hundred enterprises with sales revenue exceeding one billion yuan.

People in the industry believe that the development goals and tasks of the instrumentation industry during the 12th Five-Year Plan period have been very clear, but the tasks before us are still quite arduous. Therefore, it is recommended that the competent authorities, application units, etc., should be able to provide certain support under appropriate conditions and give some help in terms of funding when the company initially introduces new products that are not yet fully mature but promising. In addition, R&D personnel should also actively note that from the point of view of R&D of the online analytical instrument industry, it should be in line with the latest cutting-edge technologies. This is also the standard of high-end instrument manufacturing industry mentioned in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”. : Achieve high-end, smart, and network.
