When we analyze the current situation of instrumentation and measurement control in Our country, we can't help but realize that there is still a big gap between it and the international advanced level and the actual needs of economic and social development in our country. The gap is all-round, the most crucial three points:

The first. China's instrument and meter industry is small in scale and low in output value. In 2007, the total output value of China's instrument industry was 30 yuan, accounting for only 2.5% of the total industrial output value. Ten years ago, the total value of the INSTRUMENTATION industry in the United States reached $400 billion, accounting for 4% of the total industrial output. At present, there are no less than 50 American instrument enterprises whose annual output value exceeds 2 billion US dollars. The largest instrument enterprises in China are Jingyi Group with annual output value of 8 billion RMB and Chuanyi Group with annual output value of 6 billion RMB. Compared with the two, the gap is too big. The scale and output value of industries and enterprises directly affect the vitality and development of industries. To narrow and eliminate this gap, we need to work hard for 10 or 20 years.

In the second. There are still many problems in the quality and variety of instruments and meters in Our country. The reliability and stability of the products have not been fundamentally solved for a long time, which seriously affects the market sales and normal use. We still cannot produce many large precision instruments, and our domestic demand is almost entirely dependent on imports. In 2007, Korea recorded $8.8 billion in instrument exports, but $17.2 billion in imports, recording a deficit of $8.4 billion, the largest in the equipment manufacturing industry. If this problem is not solved, the development of instrumentation and measurement control discipline and industry in China will not be able to get rid of the backward passive situation.

In the third. China's instrument industry innovation ability is not strong, can not assume the responsibility of scientific and technological innovation. International instrument technology innovation development is very fast, the cycle of product replacement only takes about 2 to 4 years, most enterprises almost half of the sales from the new products launched within 5 years. And many instruments and instruments in Our country are also along the product introduced from the 1980s technology, quite a number of enterprise products are 10 years of system, live on the old bread. There are many reasons for the weak capacity of independent innovation, and the two most important ones are: first, too little investment in scientific and technological innovation and development. Foreign enterprises generally invest 8 to 10% of their sales revenue in scientific and technological innovation, while Chinese enterprises rarely invest more than 3 to 5%. Moreover, the sales revenue is not much, which greatly restricts the effective development of scientific and technological innovation. Second, the human factor, some leaders do not pay attention to independent innovation, more innovation talent shortage. Improving the capacity for independent innovation and building a new type of innovative country is the core of China's development strategy and the key to improving its overall national strength. It has become an urgent historical mission for enterprises to enhance their technological innovation ability.
