China's instrumentation industry "going out" strategy needs to face the challenge

In recent years, the industrial automatic control systems and devices in China's instrumentation products have developed rapidly under the double benefits of national policy support and increased market demand, and exports have also soared. The industrial control system has become the fastest growing product among the twelve categories of instrumentation. At the same time, only one meter of the twelve types of products has experienced a year-on-year decline. Many phenomena show the export situation of the scenery, but behind this, there are unprecedented challenges.

With the introduction of Industry 4.0, the demand for instruments in countries has begun to increase. The "going out" of the instrument industry has become an important strategy for development. Whether it is exports to the United States, Germany, or other advanced countries to strengthen technological exchanges, or export to South Africa, the Middle East, and other regions to expand the market, all must be a lot of experience. At the same time, due to different instrument standards and technical requirements in various countries, the entire instrument industry and enterprises have put forward higher requirements and challenges.

At the same time, high-tech instrument high-tech countries represented by Germany, the United States, etc. are also vigorously developing overseas markets, with particular emphasis on the Asian market. The instrument industry represented by industrial automation systems will also face fierce competition from various countries. In such a large environment, instrument companies as the main players in the industry competition, its construction can help China's instrument industry to go out faster and more involved in the development of the global construction.

Escort China Instrument Export

In order to increase exports in China's instrument industry, we must first understand the specific requirements of each country's market, and this is the most basic condition. The United States has always been the largest importer and exporter of instrumentation in China. Therefore, in view of the US market, China must grasp the characteristics and technical requirements of the United States for instrumentation, improve its own scientific and technological level, and produce adapted products. The Middle East and Africa are the areas with lower exports from our country. In response to this, what we need to do is to tap the market factors of these plots and increase the export volume. In these areas, the development rate is often faster because of the smaller base of imports.

Second, it is to understand the conditions of production in various provinces in China. Guangdong and Shanghai are the two largest provinces in China's import and export. In response to this, the development of other provinces in China can be combined with industrial development. Through learning, the import and export of instruments and meters in China are highly concentrated and will not be dispersed.

Technological gap is obviously a long way to go for export

With the successful application of China's independent intellectual property instrument technology in foreign countries, it shows that China's instrument industry has officially entered the international market. However, due to the fact that China's investment in science and technology is far from that of foreign countries, China's instrumentation industry is still dependent on low labor costs and cannot really achieve the export of high-tech industries. And this advantage tends to saturate, resulting in lower profits.

The obvious difference in the export of China's instrumentation industry lies in the level of technology. This key factor has led to the inability of China to produce and develop some high-end products. Therefore, we can only rely on imports to meet, let alone export. As China's industries start late, it is impossible to narrow the gap in foreign products in the short term. Under this circumstance, how to upgrade exports will require Chinese instrumentation companies to digest and absorb advanced Western technologies, and strengthen cooperation with universities and research institutes to promote the level of innovation and increase the technological content of products. It can be said that the future of China's instrument export is a long way to go.
