Analysis of the Development Status of Laboratory Instrument Industry

At present, there are nearly 700 major enterprises in the laboratory instrument industry. The annual production value of major companies is nearly RMB 6 billion in 2010. Some of these products have reached or reached world advanced level. The quality is stable. A few high-end instruments have reached the international advanced level and they have independent intellectual property rights. , Has entered the European, America, Africa, Southeast Asia market, has made gratifying achievements, the annual export amounted to 1 billion yuan. However, we must see that for a long time, well-known instrument companies from abroad have taken advantage of technology and brand advantages to occupy a large part of the domestic market. The annual import value is about 3.2 billion yuan, and it is a long way to go to develop our laboratory instruments.

The National "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" pointed out that cultivating and developing strategic emerging industries is of great significance in promoting the upgrading of industrial structure and accelerating the transformation of the economic development mode. It is necessary to regard the breakthrough of a group of key common technologies that support the development of strategic emerging industries as the development of science and technology. Priority tasks.

(1) Market potential of laboratory instruments: The annual demand is about 32 billion, which has a great market demand. At present, the project has been listed as a national key support and development project.

(2) Opportunities for autonomy of food safety equipment:

During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the state must focus on building food safety monitoring capabilities. 1) According to the relevant systems and plans, China's agriculture, quality supervision, inspection and quarantine, food and drug supervision and management, food, and health systems have initially formed a systematic four-level (national, provincial, prefecture-level and county-level) food safety inspection ( Monitoring system. 2) The number of first-tier institutions is about 2608, and the setting of county-level institutions has not yet been determined. 3) There is a large gap in the establishment of food inspection agencies at the county level, and the allocation is incomplete. 4) Capacity-building issues such as lack of grass-roots and first-line rapid detection capabilities need to be solved urgently, and a large number of food safety inspection instruments need to be supplemented and updated. 5) The demand of more than several hundred thousand domestic food processing companies and testing organizations in China constitutes a continuing strong and stable market demand for food safety testing instruments in China. 6) It is expected that the demand for equipment during the "12th Five-Year Plan" will exceed 40 billion yuan.

(3) Opportunities for medical and health equipment:

1) 163 primary medical equipments should be provided in basic medical units, about 68% of which are laboratory instruments, analytical instruments and optical instruments, of which about 50% are professional products of laboratory branches. 2) During the 12th Five-year Plan period, the country plans to build 100 state-level disease control centers, 200 provincial CDCs, and 300 prefecture-level CDCs. 3) There are nearly 20,000 primary health care facilities in China that urgently need to improve and deploy technical equipment. The country will allocate 96 billion yuan for the purchase of medical instruments within 3 years (a total of 20.5 billion yuan has been allocated). It will take 15 to 20 years to completely change the backwardness of the technical equipment of our grass-roots units.

(4) The laboratory instrument industry should pay attention to the development of complete sets of instrument and equipment, better serve the users, and improve the technical cooperation level of the industry.

(5) The special needs of new technologies and related fields provide greater room for the development of the laboratory instrument industry.

(6) With the development of China's science and technology and the establishment of high-tech industries, it will provide powerful technical support for the development of high-end instruments and equipment in the laboratory instrument industry, so as to achieve product upgrading, and to win greater market and development space for laboratory instruments.

Due to the large number of laboratory instruments, large numbers of small and medium-sized enterprises, and fierce market competition, it is necessary to establish modern laboratory instruments, application technologies and complete technology bases in China, which will greatly promote the overall development of the laboratory instrument industry in China and catch up as soon as possible. And reach the world advanced level.

Last year was the opening year of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". In the new historical stage, laboratory instruments should increase the intensity of technological innovation, import and digest foreign advanced and independent innovations, realize product upgrading, and strive to explore the principle of originality. Innovation accelerates the digitization, intelligence, and networking of the instrument. The scientific concept of development has been thoroughly implemented in each major of laboratory instruments, and the country has carefully implemented the strategic planning for the development of our country's scientific instruments and forged ahead. Let us take the revitalization of the instrumentation industry as our own task, and make unremitting efforts in our respective work positions. China's instrumentation industry will surely rejuvenate and take the lead in the world.
