Development of Environmental Monitoring Instrument Market in China

In recent years, the output of China's environmental monitoring instruments has fluctuate greatly, but it has generally grown. Special instruments for environmental monitoring monitor pollutants in water and air, as well as noise, radioactive substances, and electromagnetic waves. Provide scientific basis for environmental management, pollution source control, and environmental planning. With the continuous and rapid development of China's economy, the continuous increase of urban processes and industrialization, environmental pollution has become increasingly serious, and the country’s emphasis on environmental protection is also increasing.

Development status of environmental monitoring

In the past few years, through the joint efforts of the government and the people, there has been a clear breakthrough in China's environmental monitoring work. During the construction of environmental monitoring, China initially possessed monitoring technologies with Chinese characteristics and established an environmental management system that meets the social development of our country. China's environmental monitoring system has played an obvious role in the emission reduction and emission reduction work and has provided a solid technical support system for the improvement of environmental quality. With the expansion of the monitoring team, the scope of monitoring has been further extended. Therefore, a number of well-known experts and technical backbones have emerged across the country. They have conducted research on a number of topics. In the course of their research, environmental monitoring technologies have also developed. While environmental monitoring has achieved results, we should maintain a clear mind and see its shortcomings.

At present, the development of China's environmental monitoring business is facing a lot of pressure. Its main pressure comes from two parts, namely external pressure and internal pressure. The external pressure is also divided into two aspects. First, after China's accession to the World Trade Organization, China’s environmental monitoring agencies are under pressure to open, especially foreign countries, and they are faced with stringent environmental monitoring agencies. Second, various domestic departments, various industry monitoring stations and some scientific research institutes. The environmental monitoring work of the institute is lagging behind, and its working conditions are practical and unreasonable. From the current point of view, the constraint of external pressure is not the main reason for the lagging behind of China's environmental monitoring work. Fundamentally restricting the development of environmental monitoring in China is internal pressure. First of all, the nature, status, role of environmental monitoring in our country and the functions of environmental monitoring stations have not been established through legal procedures, laws and regulations have been seriously missing, and the existing environmental monitoring and management systems and operating mechanisms cannot adapt to the new situation and have been detached. actual. The accumulation of the above problems has hindered the further development of China's environmental monitoring.

At present, China's monitoring team is short of staff and old-fashioned equipment. Many environmental monitoring tasks are simply pursuing the surface without actually being implemented. Unreasonable resource allocation is a key issue in environmental monitoring. In the process of environmental monitoring, advanced instruments and equipment are indispensable tools. If this is unsuccessful, just as the material loses its carrier, even if the level of the monitoring team is higher, it will not be able to complete the task of environmental monitoring. . In addition, the environmental monitoring instruments currently used in our country have a long history and the equipment is gradually aging. The data monitored is not reliable, and after some equipment is broken, it cannot be maintained, which seriously hampers the development of environmental monitoring. The investment in monitoring funds is less than the expected standard, making the equipment allocation more difficult.

Market size will exceed 25 billion in 2016

China's environmental monitoring instruments are mostly medium and low-end products produced by small and medium-sized enterprises. The technology level is generally low, the product types are small, the failure rate is high, and the service life is short. This results in low monitoring frequency, large sampling error, inaccurate monitoring data, and inability to promptly reflect the status of pollutant discharge. This not only affects the scientific decision-making of environmental management and the seriousness of law enforcement, but also easily dampens the enthusiasm of enterprises for pollution control and environmental protection.

For the problems at this stage, our country must first increase the investment in scientific research that is urgently needed for environmental protection work, and include the development of environmental monitoring technologies in the key areas of environmental research. With the help of various supporting policies of the country, we will promote the industrialization and technical upgrading of environmental monitoring instruments. At the same time, we will promote the integration of scientific research and production of monitoring instruments and encourage environmental monitoring instrument manufacturers, universities, and scientific research institutions to adopt various methods to carry out technical cooperation and accelerate the transformation of environmental monitoring technologies.

Using market regulation measures to promote the recombination of environmental monitoring instrument manufacturers, gradually changing the monitoring instrument production technology is weak, scattered investment, low level of duplication, low market competitiveness, to achieve appropriate scale of intensive production, the formation of a number of monitoring instruments The backbone enterprise of production. At the same time, products should be adjusted from high to low to high-end equipment to meet the needs of actual work.

In 2012, there were 119 enterprises above designated size in China's environmental monitoring and special instrumentation manufacturing industry, which was 4 times more than 27 companies in 2000; in 2012, the industry achieved an output value of 9.978 billion yuan, which was nearly 3 times that of 2000; the industry's revenue scale in 2012 was 9.243 billion yuan, 2.2 times more than in 2000.

In the next 2-3 years, as the country continues to increase investment in environmental monitoring, the environmental monitoring instrumentation market will maintain a growth rate of more than 20%, much higher than the economic development rate over the same period. It is estimated that by 2016, the entire environmental monitoring instrumentation market will exceed 25 billion.
