The
scientific instrument industry involves multidisciplinary integration, and the industry barriers are high. Scientific instruments are an important tool for the research and production of life sciences and other disciplines. The upstream of the industrial chain is the raw material and parts supply industry for instrument production and manufacturing, and the downstream is the demand market for scientific instruments, mainly universities, scientific research institute laboratories and enterprise R&D laboratories. Wait. Scientific research instruments have high technical barriers because they involve multiple disciplines, and require the integration of multiple disciplines such as optics, mechanics, software, communications, applied science, biology, and chemistry. Different needs, constantly digging out new functions, and carrying out product upgrade iterations have obvious characteristics of "long slopes and thick snow".
my country's scientific instrument market as a whole is showing an upward trend. Data from Guanyan World shows that the scale of my country's scientific instrument market has grown from 340 billion in 2019 to 696.6 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach 1 trillion in 2025. From 2020 to 2021, the recurrence of the new crown epidemic has pressed the pause button for economic activities and scientific research activities from time to time. The production and operation of scientific instrument companies are facing many difficulties. Increased operating costs. In terms of orders, downstream users have started less work, their purchasing power has declined, and sales staff cannot come to the door, which limits the source of orders. In terms of production, the supply of upstream raw materials is difficult, the attendance rate of suppliers' employees is low, and the inspection of foreign trucks entering Beijing is strict, resulting in an overall slow production process. In terms of foreign trade, the epidemic has reduced the number of international flights, slowed down freight, and increased costs several times. Therefore, although the market size of my country's scientific instruments has increased in 2021, the growth rate has shown a significant slowdown. In 2021, the market size of my country's scientific instruments will increase by 116.6 billion yuan, a growth rate of only about 20%. However, the industry is expected to return to the right track in 2022. According to data, it is estimated that the market size of my country's scientific instruments will increase by 53.4 billion yuan in 2022, with a growth rate of 8%. It will break through the 1 trillion mark.
According to the market segment data of scientific instruments, there are two reasons for the large-scale recovery of the growth rate of scientific instruments in my country in 2022. One is that the national policy is inclined to help the research and development of core components of high-end scientific instruments, financially reduce R&D taxes, and encourage enterprises to increase research and development energy and cost investment; second, the production testing and quality control of epidemic protection materials will use traditional analytical instruments and a large number of disinfectants The use of the equipment will bring hidden dangers of water and soil pollution, and the later detection will also bring opportunities to traditional scientific analysis instruments.
According to the data, in my country's scientific instrument import segment market, the import rate of experimental analysis instruments is the highest, reaching 83.67%, and the market scale is also the largest. The import rates of nuclear instruments and nuclear instruments reached 76.89% and 72.41% respectively, and the import rates of other measuring instruments, electronic measuring instruments, and marine instruments were all between 60% and 65%. Overall, my country's scientific instruments are very dependent on imports. Statistics show that China spends more than 40 billion yuan on the purchase of foreign scientific instruments and equipment every year, and the import of gene sequencers alone exceeds 800 million yuan. The main reason is that scientific instruments are currently in a state of cooperation globally, so everyone still purchases instruments globally.
