How to break the ice for domestic instruments in the Chinese market

Recently, the Boao Forum for Asia 2018 annual meeting is in full swing in Boao, Hainan. As China's first home diplomatic event in 2018, the Boao Forum for Asia is "tall", but the content is not "empty". A series of initiatives and initiatives put forward at the meeting truly meet the practical needs of all walks of life.

For example, in terms of supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, China proposes to establish a national intellectual property office, strengthen law enforcement, increase illegal costs, and provide a strong guarantee for innovation and entrepreneurs. In this way, it also makes China's new technologies and products go to sea more smoothly. Chinese enterprises are expected to be protected in terms of intellectual property rights in the future, whether they hope to break new ground through innovation and entrepreneurship in China or "go to sea" to promote new technologies and products. From the side, it also means that China's scientific and technological strength has been improved, which will put forward requirements for intellectual property protection.

Foreign instrument giants actively layout the Chinese market

The development of science and technology is naturally inseparable from efficient and practical instruments and equipment. With the improvement of China's scientific and technological level and the development of major industries, the demand for scientific instruments has also entered a new stage. For foreign enterprises working hard in the Chinese market, this experience is quite profound. Recently, San shanqingtai, general manager of China industrial group of Hitachi high tech company, said at the launching ceremony of Shanghai Application Laboratory of Hitachi high tech science park: "China's automobile, semiconductor and other industries are facing a huge technological change." The establishment of Shanghai application laboratory is also to provide services for Chinese users in the fields of semiconductor, materials, energy, environment and food safety (including a variety of scientific instruments and solutions under Hitachi), specifically to meet the needs of these industries for scientific instruments.

Hitachi is not the only overseas instrument enterprise actively laying out the Chinese market. Shimadzu, also from Japan, has been based on China's current national conditions, accurately grasped the development direction of the domestic instrument market, and launched a series of innovative instrument products. At the same time, Shimadzu also actively cooperates with domestic colleges and universities, enterprises and institutions, and frequently attends and holds exhibition activities related to major instruments. As a world leader in the field of scientific services, semefi is also constantly improving its strength and deepening its layout and investment in the Chinese market. Conforming to the national policy and situation and taking the lead in launching instrument products that meet the needs of China is the "winning magic weapon" for thermo flight to expand and consolidate the Chinese market. Not long ago, Agilent also established a new EMC laboratory in Shanghai to help Agilent develop and produce gas chromatography products. In addition, Walters, Brooke, Perkin Elmer and other international instrument giants have also thrown olive branches to this mysterious oriental land, carefully "landing" while chasing and competing with each other.

Why do domestic instruments lose "local advantages"

Under a series of positive performances of foreign enterprises, domestic instrument enterprises seem to be depressed. It used to be said that "China is a sleeping lion. Once you wake up, the whole world will be shocked". However, once China's instrument industry, which has been sleeping for a long time, wakes up, it may face the domestic market that has been divided by foreign brands. The so-called "local effect" is not very dominant, and the huge technology gap has become the biggest "stumbling block" for the development of domestic instrument enterprises.

Of course, this is not the only factor restricting the ice breaking market of domestic instruments. Under the circumstances of limited technology, many people in the instrument industry lament that some domestic enterprises lack a sense of responsibility and quality awareness, and often make mistakes in the most basic instrument performance, indicators and parameters. It's like being crushed to death by the hat of "poor quality", just breaking the jar, let alone technological innovation. In addition, Chinese enterprises also lag behind in operation and management, market operation and talent training, and lack a perfect industrial chain and industry system. Many employees said that the treatment of some instrument enterprises is not high, so it is difficult to retain high-end technical talents, exposing the problem of "talent shortage" of domestic instruments.

At present, science and technology in all walks of life in China has entered the "fast lane" of rapid development. As an important pillar industry, the instrument industry urgently needs to withstand the pressure from overseas, provide technical support for the development of domestic industries, and meet the needs of scientific research, technical measurement, production control and so on. However, under severe challenges, there are also unlimited opportunities. In recent years, a series of incentive policies and bonuses issued by China have become the "umbrella" and "booster" of domestic instruments. With the strengthening of intellectual property protection, the road of innovation and Entrepreneurship of domestic instruments will be wider and smoother. Breaking the ice and exploring overseas will no longer be a dream.
