Investigation and Analysis of the Development Opportunity of Instrument Industry in China in 2012

Apart from the market demand, a more gratifying phenomenon is that the relevant departments such as the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have made it clear that they will increase support for the development of the industry, especially independent innovation brands. It is understood that in the next five years, only the National Natural Science Foundation of China will increase its investment in R&D for scientific instruments from the previous 100 million yuan to 1 billion yuan. "This effort is unprecedented." And related departments set up a number of research and development special projects, including the “National Special Scientific Instruments and Equipment Development Special Project” to be established by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the “Special Scientific Instruments and Equipment Research Special Project” established by the National Natural Science Foundation. After painstaking thinking, perhaps, "home-made equipment will usher in the best time in the history of the industry."

Wang Daxuan once said: "For a long time, we have spent a lot of money to buy instruments, but we are repeating others' experiments." It turns out that we didn't buy core technology and we didn't buy the most advanced instruments and equipment used by our front-line researchers. Most of them are "mature goods" from developed countries. "To seize the commanding heights of technology strategy, domestic instruments urgently need to break through in a number of important areas." This also provides unprecedented opportunities and challenges for domestic instruments." The opportunity is not limited to this. “As an important support method for strategic emerging industries such as energy conservation, environmental protection and biology, scientific instruments and equipment need to be bigger and stronger. The research and development of medium and high-end equipment can not only change the status quo of low-end positioning of domestic instruments, but also enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. The only way to go."

What is particularly exciting is that “the demand for equipment and equipment in the industries of quality inspection, environmental protection, health, and agriculture has increased substantially, providing a huge market and rare opportunity for the development of domestically produced instruments.” Talking about the future of the industry, Su Yansong’s face began to flash a confident smile. “We will use our strengths to build this bus.”

“When we see this unprecedented opportunity, we cannot ignore that the Chinese market has become a 'fat' that multinational instrument companies compete for. And there is still a considerable gap in stability and reliability of domestic high-end equipment. The next five years are Chinese instruments. The golden age of the industry's development, if you do not seize this opportunity, the entire industry may be lost." Liu Changkuan stressed that this is not an alarmist.
