We will establish public welfare institutions and strengthen our ability to provide common services

China’s instrumentation industry should strengthen the construction of specialized industry management public welfare institutions, and unify and support the various government management departments of the industry. The agency should be responsible for collecting and summarizing industry data, supervising the development trend of the industry, timely understanding the technical and economic status quo and problems at all levels of the industry, and then put forward targeted suggestions for the formulation and adjustment of relevant national policy planning; The agency is also responsible for the industry development forecast, so 1747-L552/A that the industry forward to cooperate with the development of the entire national economy, rather than the country, society suddenly has a major need to obtain impulsive support and development. For example, high-end medical equipment such as high-flow respiratory humidification therapy equipment, high-frequency ventilators, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines (ECMO) are not only in short supply but also excessively dependent on imports. They have won great attention from society and relevant support from the state only during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, but they are far from being able to overcome the thirst. On the other hand, the market for middle and low-end medical instruments such as forehead temperature guns and infrared thermometers has also been detonated by the epidemic, frantically hoarding goods, driving up prices, and generating chaos. The above problems exposed by the epidemic fully show that China’s instrumentation industry needs to have a special management agency to fully grasp the industry data, improve the construction of the technology and industrial system, and strongly serve the development of the industry, so that the instrumentation industry can cope with similar emergencies normally.

At the same time, the agency should continue to strengthen the ability to provide common technical services for industry enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Instrumentation enterprises are the technical input of the service platform, the principle and design of instrumentation belong to the “know-how” of the enterprise, but in terms of common technologies and platforms such as manufacturing, testing, standards and measurement, the institution should undertake construction or coordinate the development of industry resources, improve the efficiency of industry resource utilization, and continue to accumulate industry common technologies. Instrument users are the technical demand side of the service platform, the platform should have the ability to quantify the demand, explore the adoption of membership system and other measures to attract and retain instrument users. The platform shoulders both sides of supply and demand, and gradually forms a good development model of “user + common service platform + small and medium-sized enterprise group”, accelerates the advancement speed of instruments from technological innovation to productization, and solves the common problem that domestic instruments can be used but not used well.

2.2.2 Continue to cultivate leaders and develop specialized individual champions

1747-L552/A The instrument and meter industry needs world-class instrument and meter manufacturing leading enterprises. Leading enterprises have the right to speak of product pricing, lead the formulation of international and domestic standards for the industry, lead the direction of development of the industry, shoulder the responsibility of exploring the market, scientific and technological innovation and driving the upstream industrial chain, and have obvious talent and capital attraction in the industry, as well as driving the radiation role of regional economic development. China should choose instruments manufacturing categories with good industrial foundation, large market demand and strong import dependence, and continue to cultivate and develop leading enterprises in instrument manufacturing from the core ecological elements of the industry such as policy, finance, taxation, talent and technology. Figure 1 shows the import and export statistics of China’s instrumentation industry products in 2019, and the classification refers to the statistical classification basis of industry associations. The import and export trend of instrumentation products in China in the past five years is similar. Combined with statistical data, should focus on electronic measuring instruments, medical instruments, industrial automatic control systems and devices, laboratory analytical instruments, optical instruments and other instrument segments in the continuous cultivation of manufacturing leading enterprises.

In addition, more importantly, the instrumentation industry must vigorously develop individual champions. “Single champion” refers to an enterprise that is internationally leading in production technology or process in some specific product segments and has a global/national market share of a certain product. The instrument industry has the characteristics of multiple varieties, small batches, customization, high-tech, and high level, which is very in line with the concept of “single champion”. More than half of the instrument technology innovation in the United States is completed by small and medium-sized instrument enterprises, and Germany has a group of “specialized, refined and special” instrument enterprises for decades or even hundreds of years. We should give full play to the adsorption effect of leading enterprises, as well as the supporting role of common service platforms, and continue to cultivate a number of source components, detectors and sensors, analysis and separation control components and other instrument core components of a single champion enterprises, on the one hand to solve the problem of “hollowing out” of instruments in our country, on the other hand, and the leading enterprises in the manufacture of instrument and meters rely on each other. Form a pattern of industrial clusters with complementary advantages.
