China's microscope needs to strive for the upper reaches of the world's low-end market

After many years of development, the microscope industry in China is now characterized by complete categories and a certain industry base. In the developing countries, it is "upstream" and it is far from the developed countries. In addition, the concentration of the microscope industry in China is low, and the enterprises are characterized by “multiple, scattered, and weak” characteristics. The ability to develop science and technology is not strong, and there is a gap in product stability and reliability.

In recent years, the development trend of China's instrumentation industry is good, thanks to the obvious improvement in the business conditions of China's machinery, light textile, metallurgy, petrochemical, and other instrumentation services. At the same time, the national policy orientation and the overall development trend of the national economy have given rise to the instrumentation industry. Powerful pull.

In the Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China, policies and measures for revitalizing the equipment manufacturing industry were studied and put into place. For the first time, instruments and meters were placed in important positions, and the development history of instrumentation in our country was unprecedented. The development of the entire instrumentation industry has had an extremely important positive impact. In addition, the government has also adopted a number of policies to set up a revitalization instrumentation industry award. Instruments and meters are clearly listed as important technical equipment for the national economy, and special efforts are being made to increase investment.

In 2008, the sales revenue of the microscope industry reached 2.623 billion yuan. From January to May 2009, the sales growth rate of the microscope industry slowed down. The sales revenue was 981 million yuan, an increase of 9.4% year-on-year.

China's microscope manufacturing industry has a history of nearly 70 years. According to statistics, the output of domestic microscopes is about 1.5 billion yuan each year, and half of them are used for export. Chinese brands occupy a place in the low-end market of microscopes in the world. The microscope industry has high technical requirements. The core is the design and processing of the objective lens, which will devote a lot of effort and manpower. All these require seniority and technical personnel. Therefore, the brand division of the domestic microscope market is relatively simple and well-known. That's just a few of them.

Most of the domestic microscope brands have been transformed from optical instrument factories. Because the early microscopes were not popular, they were mostly imported. With the outbreak of the war, Qian Linzhao and others established a small optical workshop in Yunnan. The processing of metal parts made hundreds of high-power microscopes including oil-immersed objectives, which were sent to the anti-Japanese rear teaching, medical, and engineering construction units. This is the first batch production of microscopes in China. After the liberation, due to the superiority of the socialist system, a number of state-owned microscope factories have been established in the country. These factories often conduct technical exchanges and present a flourishing market phenomenon. At that time, there were well-known Shanghai Optical Factory, Nanjing Jiangnan Optical Factory, Chongqing Optical Instrument Factory, Guangzhou Optical Factory, and Guilin Optical Factory.

Since the reform and opening up, many changes have taken place in the domestic microscope industry due to various reasons such as the development needs of the microscope industry and the introduction of foreign investment. There have been many mergers, and a number of domestic well-known microscope brands have emerged, such as McAudi, Yongxin Optics, Chongqing Optoelectronics, Jiangxi Phoenix Optics, etc. These brands have become the mainstay of the microscope market and enjoy a high reputation both at home and abroad.

It can be seen that the domestic microscope market is still dominated by domestic brands in terms of large areas. This is different from the situation of the “alien monk chanting scriptures” in the instrumentation industry. From the overview of the development of the microscope market, we can see that the state-owned brands The position of the boss was benefited from the early national policies and the development and development of China's technology, which did not allow the development of the microscope to lag behind the developed countries. In view of the advantages of microscopy in China, there are optimistic analysis by experts. The microscopy market of 2009-2010 can reach 60% coverage of state-owned brands. Going abroad is a higher requirement of the country. Let Chinese products become famous in the world and will be All microscope companies are striving for the goal.
