How is the import growth of my country's instrument industry

The industry's import growth rate will also maintain a slow growth this year, which is expected to be around 5%. It is worth noting that due to the struggle of international trade, many instruments and instruments have been included in electronic products, environmentally friendly products and energy-saving products and the tariffs have been abolished. This will inevitably further pressure the domestic industry and further stimulate imports. The extent of its impact remains to be seen.
In 2013, my country's instrument industry achieved main business income of 825.6 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 15.1%, slightly higher than the production and sales growth rate of the machinery industry. The industry's higher growth rate mainly benefits from industrial automation and industry-related areas related to people's livelihood.
First of all, the technological transformation, energy conservation and emission reduction and the upgrading of mechanical and electrical products of my country's industrial enterprises have continuously increased the demand for industrial automation products. In 2013, the main business income of my country's industrial automation industry exceeded 300 billion yuan for the first time, with a year-on-year increase of 16.6%, showing a good development trend of more than 1,000 enterprises.
Secondly, although the sub-industry related to people's livelihood is not large, accounting for a small proportion, and the scale of enterprises is small, due to the low base, the growth rate is relatively high under the guidance of the country's policy of attaching importance to people's livelihood, such as special equipment for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery (increase by 24.7%), meteorological and marine navigation instruments (19.2%), automotive instruments (17.3%), teaching instruments (16.6%), weighing instruments (15.7%), medical instruments and equipment (19.5%), etc. For example, after years of rapid growth in supply instruments, including electricity, water and gas meter, the electricity, water and gas meter, last year, although the growth rate was not high (12.6%), the demand for heat meter and heating monitoring systems, mainly 15 provinces and cities in the north, has increased, and there have been large orders and engineering projects worth over 100 million yuan.
However, it is worth noting that in another important field, the scientific instrument industry, although the country's support for scientific and technological innovation and the attention of enterprises have caused the demand for scientific instruments to increase, due to the difficulty of scientific instrument technology, small batches and high unit prices, the relative advantage factors of my country's manufacturing industry have little effect. Therefore, although the industry has achieved many scientific research and industrialization results in 2013, the main varieties with high usage and great influence have not yet made breakthrough progress, and the import volume has always remained high, so the production and sales growth of domestic enterprises is not high.
After adjustments in the past two years, the year-on-year growth rate of the instrumentation industry has dropped from a high of nearly 30% to a medium-speed growth zone of 10% to 20%, and is currently in a median high area. The adjustment process from high growth to medium-speed growth is relatively smooth, and there are no serious situations such as significant fluctuations in demand, overcapacity, and industry on the verge of difficulties. The possibility of the industry maintaining long-term sustainable medium-speed growth has increased.
In 2013, the total profit of the instrumentation industry was 72.45 billion yuan, an increase of 16.53% year-on-year, an increase of 2.59% over the previous year; the profit margin of main business income was 8.78%, 0.1% higher than the previous year.
If classified by enterprise, the profits of private enterprises account for 61% of the industry, with a year-on-year increase of 18.6%, and are still the main force in the industry's profits. At the same time, the profit growth rate of state-owned enterprises and three-invested enterprises has changed from negative growth last year (-2.46%, -3.07%) to double-digit growth (21.77%, 11.93%), which is also an important factor in the improvement of industry profits.
But it is worth noting that the industry's main business costs increased by 16.13% year-on-year, higher than the main business revenue by 15.1%, which shows that the industry's profitability has not been fundamentally improved.
Export growth has dropped sharply
In 2013, the instrument industry imported US$40.22 billion in the whole year, an increase of 3.35% year-on-year. Among them, the import increase reached double-digit scientific testing instruments mainly focus on experimental analytical instruments and optical instruments; industrial automation instruments and control systems, optical instruments, experimental analytical instruments and medical instruments are large imports and the total price exceeds US$5 billion.
The significant decline in export growth is due to external factors such as weak international markets and changes in exchange rates, as well as internal factors such as rising costs, excessive proportion of medium and low-end products, and slow growth in exports of high-value-added products. However, since exports have dropped from 30% at the beginning of this century to about 15% in 2013, their impact on the entire industry is still within a controllable range.
Although the export growth rate dropped to one-digit, it was still doubled than the import growth rate. Therefore, in 2013, the import and export deficit of my country's instrument industry fell slightly, from a high of US$17.3 billion to US$16.6 billion.http://www.hssdtest.com/
