The current inadequacies in the development of environmental instrumentation industry:

In recent years, although China's environmental protection instrumentation industry watch has made certain progress, it can basically meet actual needs in variety and quantity, but there are problems such as low monitoring frequency, large sampling error, and inaccurate monitoring data when used. These problems not only affect the scientific decision-making of environmental management and the seriousness of law enforcement, but also tend to dampen the enthusiasm of enterprises for pollution control and environmental protection. High-quality analyzers, special-purpose monitoring instruments, and automatic monitoring systems are mostly introduced from abroad. The share of domestically-made instruments is small. Although the current situation is changing, there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of product structure, R&D capabilities, and so on. .

The market share of domestically-made monitoring equipment continues to expand:

Since the second half of 2013, the market structure of China's monitoring equipment has undergone major changes. After the country began to implement the new air quality monitoring and implementation program, there was a clear import substitution for monitoring equipment. In 2012, about 80% of the monitoring equipment was imported equipment. In the second half of 2013, the market share of foreign monitoring equipment was already lower than domestic equipment.

There are three main reasons for the continuous increase in the market share of domestically-made monitoring equipment:

The first is the information security factor and supports the localization of monitoring equipment. The environmental data are all wirelessly transmitted and the monitoring equipment is gradually moving towards an integrated model. Simultaneously, sensitive information can be monitored. From the viewpoint of information security, the government encourages localization of monitoring equipment.

The second is that the leading domestic companies have the first-mover advantage of expansion, such as technical reserves and financial strength. The single monitoring indicator for environmental monitoring has limited market space. After experiencing the listing and financing, the domestic leader has abundant funds, a high proportion of R&D investment, and lays technological and financial advantages, and has expansion potential.

The third is the blue ocean that the third-party operation and maintenance has become the competition of domestic enterprises. The transition to third-party operation and maintenance is the development trend of environmental monitoring companies, and it is also an important link in increasing industry differentiation.

On the one hand, domestic equipment is cost-effective. Under the premise of compliance with monitoring performance, the state requires that domestically designated equipment be used in accordance with the policy. On the other hand, atmospheric monitoring involves the national security level. Therefore, government procurement has a clear tendency towards domestic equipment. Therefore, the market share of foreign and domestic manufacturers in the future will be balanced, and the structure will have major adjustments. It is estimated that the market share of domestically-made monitoring equipment will reach 80% in 2014. China Merchants Securities researcher Hou Peng is very optimistic about the domestic monitoring equipment market.

To become bigger and stronger, it is necessary to gradually master the core technology of high-end products. In recent years, China's environmental protection testing equipment industry has found some problems in the process of continuous improvement. If the operating system of the enterprise is not perfect, there will be a serious tendency toward convergence. Many small and medium-sized enterprises have flocked to the market, lacking technology, and lacking in low-level repetition. The quality and performance of the instrument cannot compete with foreign imported instruments. Product structure is irrational, there is a shortage of products with high technical content, and the supply of low-grade products exceeds demand.

It should be said that the R&D capabilities of Chinese companies are still quite different from those of foreign companies. At the same time, there is also a lack of mechanisms for close cooperation between research institutes and enterprises. Scientific research results cannot be industrialized quickly. The government's investment in developing and developing environmental science instruments and venture capital are also insufficient.

The development trend of environmental protection instrumentation and instrumentation should be based on satisfying the principle of low price, easy maintenance, stable operation, and adaptability to harsh environments, and it should be developed in the direction of automation, intelligence, and networking, and it should be developed from labor-intensive to technology-intensive. The development of narrow-field monitoring to all-round field monitoring has evolved from simple ground environmental monitoring to combined with remote sensing environmental monitoring. Wu Youhua said.

In addition, many experts suggested increasing scientific research investment and relying on various supporting policies of the country to promote the industrialization and upgrading of environmental monitoring instruments. At the same time, we will promote the integration of scientific research and production of monitoring instruments and encourage environmental monitoring instrument manufacturers, universities, and scientific research institutions to adopt various methods to carry out technical cooperation and accelerate the transformation of environmental monitoring technologies.

From the enterprise level, it is necessary to promote the reorganization of production companies, improve the competitiveness of enterprises, and accelerate the process of localization of high-tech products. For foreign advanced monitoring equipment of complete sets of technologies, we encourage the introduction, digestion, and absorption of key technologies from abroad, and joint venture production, and gradually realize localization.

The government should increase the supervision and management of environmental monitoring instruments and accelerate the formulation and improvement of relevant laws and regulations. Establish and improve the operational marketization mechanism and qualification accreditation system of the environmental automatic monitoring system to eliminate the negative impact caused by the chaos in the operating market. Improve the development planning and technical policies of environmental monitoring instruments in a timely manner, clarify the direction of development of environmental monitoring instruments, guide and standardize the healthy development of environmental monitoring instruments, and avoid blind obedience for enterprises.
