Insight into the latest trends in the instrumentation industry

Core Tip: 2010 is the year of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” and the year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan. In order to lay a good foundation for the development of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan," the state has issued "Several Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Revitalization of the Equipment Manufacturing Industry", "Guiding Catalogue for Independent Innovation of Major Technical Equipment" and "Regulations on Adjusting the Import Tax Policy on Major Technical Equipment". "Notice", "Currently the State Encouraging the Development of Environmental Protection Equipment (Products) Catalogue (2010 Edition)" and many other policies and measures for macro-control. With energy saving and emission reduction, the development of a low-carbon economy, the civil production industry, strategic emerging industries, adjustment of the structure, and transformation as the country's long-term national policy, 2010 is full of many variables, both crisis and opportunity.

The coexistence of the crisis reflects the new trend of instrumentation. In the first half of the year, in order to ensure that the “Eleventh Five-Year” energy-saving goal was perfect, the state increased energy conservation and consumption reduction, changed the equipment policies for some industries, and reduced such things as thermal power and steel. Investment in high-energy-consuming industries such as cement and petrochemicals, and implementation of an iron fist policy to eliminate backward production capacity. In the second half of the year, energy conservation and emission reduction will be an important task for the country. Eliminating obsolete production capacity will be more stringent, and the application of instrumentation in these traditional high-energy-consuming industries will be reduced.

With energy conservation and consumption reduction, low-carbon economy, civil production, and strategic emerging industries, restructuring and transformation have become a national long-term national policy, spurring a number of emerging industries such as wind power, nuclear power, Internet of things, smart grid, high-speed rail and rail transit. rapid development. The development of these industries not only brought new opportunities and markets for instrumentation, but also raised higher requirements.

For example, in the aspect of rail transit demand, in the first half of the year, the national railways completed an investment of 271.374 billion yuan, accounting for only 33% of the 823.5 billion yuan for the annual investment plan. This shows that in the second half of this year, railway construction will also invest 552.13 billion yuan, and an average of 92 billion yuan will be completed each month, which will drive the demand for instrumentation.

In terms of energy conservation and environmental protection, the total output value of China's environmental protection industry will reach 880 billion yuan this year, accounting for about 3.4% of the annual GDP of the same period, and the output value of environmental protection equipment will reach 120 billion yuan, accounting for 13.6%. “Catalogue of Environmental Protection Equipment (Products) Encouraged by the Development of the State” explicitly includes coal-fired power plant denitrification equipment, industrial furnace flue gas desulphurization equipment, and electric bag composite dust removal equipment into the encouraged field, and has added a batch of independent intellectual property rights. Higher technological content as a key to encourage development. Enterprises' technological transformation projects that use domestically-made equipment in the catalogue will enjoy the preferential policies for investment credit of corporate income tax; and the depreciation policies for domestic equipment in the company's use list.

As the country's concern for people's livelihood has greatly increased, some needs related to people's livelihood have also been mentioned on the agenda. For example, the demand for instruments and meters related to food safety, drug safety, detection and alarm of accidents, and environmental and climate monitoring also pose new challenges for instrumentation. In Xinjiang alone, 10 million yuan is invested each year to ensure the construction of a food safety system.

Low-carbon economy and instrumentation industry are closely related to the driving role, and its development will inevitably lead to rising demand for instrumentation. According to the research team of the Development and Research Center of the State Council, “Key Industries Adjustment, Transformation and Upgrading”, the output value of the new energy industry is expected to reach 400 billion yuan in the next 3 years; the output value of the environmental protection industry will reach 2 trillion yuan in 2015; the scale of the information network and application market will at least reach Several trillions of yuan; Digital TV terminals and services can drive nearly 2 trillion yuan in output value in the next six years.

Li Dong, deputy director of the Department of Equipment and Instrument Transformation and Upgrading of Demand, said that at present major technology and equipment are independently innovated, not only major equipment, but also key parts and components, large castings and forgings, etc., should focus on long-term, main and auxiliary services. We must pay equal attention to and coordinate development, and thoroughly solve the bottleneck problem that restricts the development of major technical equipment.
