Four major characteristics of the instrument industry development in the first half of the year

The instrumentation industry has developed rapidly in half a year and has shown four major characteristics. As a test machine manufacturer, Jinan Hengsi has a deep impression.
Regional rankings are quietly changing. Big cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai were once the birthplace and concentration of my country's instrumentation industry. They have good conditions and have been among the best for a long time. With the changes and adjustments of regional industrial structure, although the foundation is good, the growth is not fast. In the first half of this year, it was around 10%, and the production and sales scale of Beijing and Shanghai have retreated to the fifth and sixth place in the country. Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shandong came from behind, and their output value had surpassed Beijing and Shanghai. Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces have gathered foreign capital, and the instrument industry accounts for a large proportion, and it has jumped to the first and second places in the instrument industry in the province and city of the country. In recent years, private enterprises in Zhejiang have developed rapidly and have formed regional industrial clusters. It has large-scale products and wide-range products, and has also achieved large-scale production, as well as a model for industrialization of high-tech achievements, ranking third in the country.
The product demand structure has changed significantly. The field of instrumentation involves a large number of products, and industrial automation instruments and control systems still maintain a high growth rate greater than the industry's growth rate, with production and sales growth of 34%, reflecting that my country is still in a period of rapid development of energy and heavy chemical industries, but the growth rate is lower than 38% last year, indicating that structural adjustments in application fields such as thermal power and metallurgy have had an impact. Environmental monitoring instruments increased by 40% year-on-year, reflecting the emergence of demand for related instruments from environmental governance, energy conservation and emission reduction. Optical instruments, supply instruments, testing machines, geological exploration and special instruments for earthquakes, teaching instruments and other products have basically maintained the industry average growth rate. The growth rate of electrical instruments, surveying and mapping instruments, test and analysis instruments, automotive instruments, navigation, meteorological and marine instruments, nuclear measurement instruments, electronic measurement instruments, timing instruments, scale instruments, medical instruments, etc. is lower than the industry average, and some products have stable demand and excessive production capacity; some products have a large technological gap, and the medium-sized product market is occupied by imported products, and the structural adjustment problem is obvious.
Exports grew rapidly, with the import growth rate of my country's instrument industry increasing by 36.4% in the first half of the year, and the export growth rate of industrial automation instrument systems, electronic measurement instruments, test machines, experimental analysis instruments, medical instruments, etc. were all above 40%. In the past, industrial automation instruments, electronic measurement instruments, etc., which had small export volumes, increased by as much as 76.9% and 104.5% respectively. Some products such as pressure/differential pressure transmitters, semiconductor component tests and communication instruments, precision balances, spectrophotometers, X-ray inspectors, etc. have increased exponentially. Among traditional export products, except for the increase of water meter by 65.5%, the increase in electricity meter, gas meter, optical components, telescope, microscope, thermometer, etc. is not large. Import growth has dropped to 7.2%. Optical instruments, most electrical instruments and medical instruments have turned to negative growth.
Independent innovation has made progress and major engineering applications have made breakthroughs. Digital oscilloscopes, spectral absorption pollutant gas fiber detection system, pesticide residue field detection device, voltage and current transformer field calibration device, 10,000kg electric vibration experiment system, automatic shaft straightening machine (integrated measurement and processing equipment), three-phase multifunction standard electricity meter, environmentally friendly multi-channel atomic fluorescence spectrometer, virtual microscope system, X-ray real-time imaging detection system, full drilling instrument, process analysis complete system batch scientific research new product project has been successfully developed and has begun to enter the industrialization stage.
What is particularly exciting is that, as an important product of the instrumentation industry, dispersed control systems have been continuously making breakthroughs in national key projects. In January 2007, the decentralized control system developed by Beijing Guodian Zhishen Company was successfully put into operation at the 600MW subcritical unit of Longshan Power Plant in Hebei Province and entered commercial operation; in August 2007, the 600MW supercritical unit of Zhuanghe Power Plant in Liaoning was successfully put into operation. Zhejiang Zhongkong's decentralized control system with independent intellectual property rights was successfully bid for the 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia/520,000 tons of urea project in Lunan Fertilizer Plant; in April 2007, it signed a control system to provide four main devices of Sinopec's Wuhan refining project of 5 million tons/year. The above breakthrough will effectively break the monopoly of foreign companies on important instruments, control devices and automation systems in national key projects.
