Instrument Industry Association recently held five four directors (enlarged) meeting, Xi Jiacheng operation and development trend of the industry in 2012. "Since 2003, the industry can be said to do a high and low temperature test," Xi Jiacheng jokingly said, "rapid growth in the industry, foreign factories around wantonly enter the Chinese market, local companies do not lose down; in the industry growth rate drops, the demand for drastic changes in the rate of profit growth and fall of great accounts, the recovery of local businesses than foreign-funded enterprises. "

Bottomed out and a smooth recovery

Instrumentation industry sales growth in 2012 another large decline, but has been out of the woods, to achieve a steady rebound. Xi Jiacheng explained that since 2008, industry sales year on year increase for two consecutive years decreased by about 10 percentage points, to 2012 sales growth was reduced to 8.8%, 9.1%. Historic lows after the 2012 mid-February, the industry began to rebound. October, the average monthly increase of less than 0.5% increases in speed up to the November and December, the end of the output value of a record production and sales respectively. reached 44.1 billion yuan and 44.3 billion yuan. Xi Jiacheng told reporters, suggesting that 2012 would be better.

Equipment manufacturing, instrumentation industry recovery efforts are lower-middle, lower than the automobile, agricultural machinery, engineering machinery, and electrical, heavy machinery and other industries. "This is inextricably linked with the industry characteristics," Xi Jiacheng analysis said, the low proportion of the rigid demand of products in the instrumentation industry, and because of the short production cycle, the recovery of demand with a certain lag. "For example, DCS complexity in the industry for at least a medium to high, but its production cycle, only one quarter, not to mention other products." Relative to the automotive, agricultural and other industries, policies and measures on the instrumentation industry benefit level of relatively low. And the industry-funded enterprises accounted for a large proportion of the steam flow export. "Under the influence of the financial crisis, foreign-funded enterprises will bear the brunt." Xi Jiacheng revealed that the production and sales of foreign-funded enterprises have been 45% of the total industry fell to 33 percent in 2012. Their economic strength, technology than local enterprises, was originally expected to withstand the force of local enterprises is lower, but in fact the operation of foreign-funded enterprises difficult than local enterprises. "In addition, some enterprises develop innovative capacity is not strong. adaptation of the economic adjustment, the trend is not strong internal. It is worth mentioning that the 2012 industry output for the first time more than 400 billion yuan, "Although 2012 industry sales growth of less than double digits for the first time this century, but the industry still maintained every two years on 'one hundred billion yuan' growth. "said Xi Jiacheng.

Increase in the profits drop big from a V-shaped

Increase in the profits of the industry in 2012 can be said is 'off the big play' was a V-shaped rebound faster in the production and marketing. "February profits off the minimum, an increase of negative 13.7%, can be said that since the reform and opening up the biggest decline, however, the second half of the reverse, the loss-making enterprises accounted for a significant decline, the industry's profits increased by 13.1 percent in November. "This is mainly because the prices of production factors or an increase of decline, many companies take timely and effective income savings, measures to strengthen management, and technological progress, structural adjustment and some enterprises in the industrialization of scale achieved certain results.

At the same time, the industry imports rise faster, exports continue to be hovering at the bottom. "Although several adjustments the export tax rebate rate, but less pronounced effect on the instrument industry, the main weakness in the international market demand, exports to resume efforts to lower the import side, the steam flow meter , test machines, analytical instruments, test instrumentation to 2012 has already begun at the end of positive growth; exports, in addition to medical equipment and surveying instruments are still negative growth.
