Status and problems

The technology and products of sensors and instrumentation in China have been greatly improved through development. There are more than 1,600 enterprises and institutions in the country engaged in the research, development and production of sensors and instrument components. However, compared with foreign countries, the product variety and quality level of sensors and meter components in China cannot yet meet the needs of the domestic market. The overall level is still at the level of foreign countries in the early 1990s. The main problems that exist are:

(1) Poor scientific and technological innovation, the core manufacturing technology lags far behind that of foreign countries, there are few products with independent intellectual property rights, and the varieties are not complete, and the product technology level is different from that of foreign countries by about 15 years.

(2) The investment intensity is low, the research equipment and production technology equipment are backward, the achievement level is low, and the product quality is poor.

(3) The disconnect between science and technology and production, affecting the transformation of scientific research results, the overall strength is relatively low, and the potential for industrial development is insufficient.

Strategic objectives

By 2020, the field of sensors and instrumentation should strive to achieve three strategic goals:

--- Focusing on industrial control, automotive, communications, and environmental protection as the key service areas, focusing on sensors, flexible components, optical components, and special circuits to develop original technologies and products with independent intellectual property rights; --- Using MEMS technology Based on integrated, intelligent and networked technologies, the company will strengthen the manufacturing process and the development of new sensors and instrumentation components, so that the leading products will reach and approach the advanced level of similar foreign products;---Increase variety and increase Quality and economic efficiency are the main goals. Accelerating industrialization will enable domestic manufacturers of sensors and meter components to achieve 70% to 80% market share and upscale products to more than 60%.
