From the China Instrument and Meter Association, it was learned that in 2007 the industry achieved a total industrial output value of 307.8 billion yuan, sales income of 300.5 billion yuan, an increase of 29%; total profit of 22.5 billion yuan, an increase of 35%. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China will focus on developing high-precision products with automatic control in different categories of instruments and meters. Among them, environmental protection instruments and meters are the top priority for development.

Experts in the industry believe that in the future, efforts will be made to strengthen the environmental protection law enforcement, accelerate the pace of environmental protection, increase investment in environmental protection construction, and cultivate the environmental protection industry as a new growth point in the national economy. The market for environmental protection instrumentation products will grow substantially in the future. In environmental protection instrumentation, the demand for environmental monitoring automation control system products for atmospheric environment and water environment will be very strong.

Industrial automation instrumentation, will focus on the development of fieldbus-based main control system devices and intelligent instruments, special and special automation instruments; fully expand the service area, promote the instrumentation system of digital, intelligent, networked, complete automation instrumentation from The transition from analog technology to digital technology, the proportion of digital meters reached more than 60% within five years; and the commercialization of automation software with independent intellectual property rights was accelerated.

Electrical instrumentation category, the focus of development is long-lived energy meter, electronic energy meter, special special-purpose electrical measuring instrument and power grid metering automatic management system. By 2010, the domestic market share of high-end electrician instruments will reach 80%.

Scientific testing equipment category, development focus is on process analysis instruments, environmental monitoring instruments, energy-saving analytical instruments for industrial furnaces, and automotive parts dynamic balance, power test and vehicle performance tester, geodetic measuring instrument, and electronics Speed ​​tester, measuring global positioning system and other experimental machines, laboratory instruments and other new products.

Medical instruments, focusing on medical optical instruments; Ultrasound medical instruments with digital imaging, high-end black-and-white ultra, color ultrasound, and color ultrasound transducers as key technologies for R&D; X-ray image processing systems, open superconducting nuclear magnetic resonance systems, and other large medical devices Instrument and clinical information system; high-energy intelligent large-scale instrument system for tumor treatment.
