How will instrument companies meet the ever-increasing demand for testing in 2022?

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] Guide: The testing industry is developing rapidly, how will instrument companies meet the ever-increasing testing needs in 2022?
 

On September 10, 2021, the State Administration of Market Supervision issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Deepening Reform to Promote the Improvement and Strengthening of the Inspection and Testing Industry", which clearly stated that reforms should be deepened during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period to promote the market-oriented development of inspection and testing institutions
.
Since the policy was gradually liberalized in 1989 to allow private capital and third-party testing agencies to enter the testing market, China has adopted various measures to encourage and promote the marketization of testing and testing agencies, stimulate industry vitality through market competition, and improve the overall technical level of the testing and testing industry.

.
Over the years, market-oriented policies have achieved remarkable results
.
And as China's economy develops towards high quality, the inspection and testing industry has also entered a period of rapid development
.

According to the National Inspection and Testing Service Industry Statistics for 2020 issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation, as of the end of 2020, there were 48,919 qualified inspection and testing institutions in China, an increase of 11.
16% from the end of 2019; operating income in 2020 was 358.
592 billion Yuan, an increase of 11.
19% compared with 2019; a total of 567 million inspection and testing reports were issued to the society, an increase of 7.
64% compared with 2019, and the market size accounted for about 20% of the global market share
.
Combining the historical data of the inspection and testing industry in the past few years, the support policies that China has successively introduced, and the development status of emerging fields such as lithium batteries, it is expected that the market size of the inspection and testing industry will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend in the next few years
.

 

The inspection and testing industry is based on equipment
.
With the rapid development of the inspection and testing industry, the market's demand for instruments and equipment continues to grow
.
According to statistics, the growth rate of the number of instruments and equipment in the inspection and testing industry in China from 2015 to 2020 has basically remained above 10%
.
As of the end of 2020, the inspection and testing industry had 8,080,100 sets of various instruments and equipment, an increase of 11.
89% over the previous year
.

 

　　At the same time, in addition to the decline in the original value of equipment assets due to the decline in the average price of equipment before 2016, the growth rate of the original value of equipment assets from 2017 to 2020 has also remained above 10%
.
As of the end of 2020, the original value of equipment assets in the inspection and testing industry totaled 411.
891 billion yuan, an increase of 11.
89% over the previous year
.

 

　　It is expected that in 2022, the new demand for equipment in the inspection and testing industry will remain at a relatively high level
.
This is undoubtedly good news for the instrument industry
.
But behind the increase in demand, the hidden challenges cannot be ignored
.

 

　　The inspection and testing industry is not only a guiding direction of the government, but also an inevitable requirement brought about by economic development
.
To improve the level of inspection and testing, the two major foundations that cannot be avoided are the technical capabilities of the inspectors and the hardware conditions such as laboratory construction and equipment configuration
.
While the development of the inspection and testing industry has brought greater market space to the instrument industry, it also puts forward stricter requirements on the instrument industry
.

 

　　Therefore, smarter and better equipped laboratories, higher quality, stronger performance and other equipment and consumables are all directions that the instrument industry needs to make breakthroughs in the future
