Instrumentation industry development action plan injects 'cardiotonic agent'

On February 28, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Standardization Administration jointly issued the 'Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of the Sensor and Intelligent Instrumentation Industry' (referred to as the 'Action Plan'). The development of the sensor and intelligent instrumentation industry pointed out the direction. The implementation period of the aforementioned 'Action Plan' is from 2013 to 2025. The overall goal is that the overall level of the sensor and intelligent instrumentation industry will enter the world's advanced ranks, involving the sensors and intelligence required for the security of national defense and key industries and major projects. Instruments and meters are manufactured and controlled independently, and the market share of high-end products and services has increased to more than 50%. The 'Action Plan' also formulated a short-term goal from 2013 to 2015. In the future, it will cultivate industry-leading enterprises with an output value of more than 1 billion yuan and small (medium) and sophisticated, sophisticated and specialized, professional and strong enterprises with an output value of more than 50 million yuan. Innovative enterprise.

　　 It is not difficult to see that the introduction of the 'Action Plan' gave instrumentation companies a shot in the heart. But at the same time, it should also be noted that criticisms such as overcapacity of low-end products, fragmentation of enterprises, and fewer large-scale enterprises have always been a stumbling block to the development of the instrumentation industry. On the one hand, it is the benefit of the national policy, and on the other hand, it is a long-term obstacle in the development of the industry. The competition in the instrumentation industry will become increasingly fierce.

　　Instrumentation companies welcome new opportunities

　　The instrument and meter industry is a basic and strategic industry of the national economy, with a wide range of applications, covering industry, agriculture, electric power, transportation, science and technology, environmental protection, national defense, culture, education and health. As an important part of modern large-scale key complete sets of equipment, the role of instrumentation cannot be underestimated.

　　 In August 2011, the China Instrument and Meter Industry Association announced the 'Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for the Instrument and Meter Industry' (referred to as the 'Plan'), clarifying that during the 12th Five-Year Plan, my country's instrument and meter industry will mainly focus on major national projects, The development of advanced automatic control systems, large-scale precision testing equipment, new instrumentation and sensors is accelerating the development of the three major areas of strategic emerging industries and the needs of people’s livelihood. The 'Plan' also pointed out that by 2015, the total output value of the industry will reach or close to one trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of about 15%; exports of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, of which domestic enterprises account for more than 50% of the total export value. At the end of the fifth or early thirteenth five-year period, the trade deficit began to decline.

　　 The 'Action Plan' issued by the four ministries and commissions this time is an advancement and refinement on the basis of the above-mentioned 'PlanWith regard to the instrumentation industry, the country frequently makes intensive adjustments to favorable policies. Many people in the industry believe that for a period of time, although the year-on-year growth rate of the instrumentation industry's production and sales has been slow, the month-on-month growth rate has declined, and even individual sub-sectors have experienced negative growth from the previous month. But overall the instrument and meter industry has a bright future.

　　 my country's industrial transformation and upgrading, energy conservation, emission reduction, and the development of strategic emerging industries have all brought opportunities for the development of instrumentation. At present, my country's instruments and meters play an important role in emerging industries such as wind power, nuclear power generation, Internet of Things, smart grids, high-speed rail and rail transit, and the market is also expanding. The 'Action Plan' proposes that companies with certified sensors and intelligent instrumentation that meet the relevant policy conditions can enjoy relevant preferential tax policies in accordance with regulations. It can be seen that instrumentation companies will usher in a round of development opportunities.

　　Investment consultant Zhao Leiyu analyzed that the 'Action Plan' aims to enhance the innovation capability and international competitiveness of the sensor and intelligent instrumentation industry. Sensors and smart meters are endowed with self-calibration, self-diagnosis, self-adaptation, and self-learning capabilities through embedded microcomputers. While providing great support to utilities such as water, electricity and coal, high-speed rail and other strategic emerging industries, and food safety and other testing industries, It also provides a broad market space for its own development.

　　Many bottlenecks to be solved

　　As a major instrument and meter production country, although my country's instrument and meter product exports are increasing year by year, the export regions continue to expand. But on the whole, there are still bottlenecks in terms of insufficient investment in scientific research, low independent innovation capabilities, manufacturing technology, material quality, chip core technology, intensification and concentration of production, and installation size standards.

　　 In addition, China's instrumentation market has its particularity, that is, more than 90% of the market is occupied by foreign instrument manufacturers, and domestic instrument manufacturers are in a relatively weak position.

　　 High-end precision instruments are heavily dependent on imports. Compared with developed countries in the research and manufacturing of scientific instruments, the gap between my country and developed countries is not narrowing, but gradually widening.

　　As early as 2010, the State Administration of Taxation issued the 'Administrative Measures for the Tax Rebate for the Purchase of Domestic Equipment by Ru0026D Institutions' clearly stated that domestic and foreign-funded Ru0026D institutions or centers purchase domestic equipment from July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010 In order to encourage and support domestic instruments and meters, it will speed up the localization of equipment.

　　In this action plan, there is also a plan specifically to support the cultivation of instrumental backbone enterprises. my country's instrument and meter enterprises have the characteristics of being small, small and scattered. The domestic instrument and meter products are relatively low-end, and the production level, production capacity, and research and development capabilities are insufficient. It is necessary to cultivate a group of enterprises with innovative capabilities, independent intellectual property rights, and their own competitive products. Wu Youhua, vice chairman of the Chinese Instrument Society, said.
