How far is it from domestic textile testing instruments to replace imports?

As the experience of nearly 15 years of hard work in textile equipment tells us that domestic textile equipment has always been plagued by market exclusion and low recognition in the competition of imported textile equipment. The status quo of survival and development has made many textile instrument manufacturers feel the same. For a long time, imported instruments have been occupying the main market in my country, and are distributed in national, provincial, prefecture-level laboratories, as well as universities and related enterprises. In the field of testing instruments, foreign companies such as Shimadzu and Agilent have long occupied the Chinese market. Laboratory testing instruments with almost the same functions and parameters, although the price of imported instruments has always been higher than domestic ones, are still the first choice of customers. Due to the poor inherent impression of domestic textile testing instruments in China, many large domestic enterprises and government agencies have limited consideration of imported textile testing instruments when purchasing textile instruments. The impression of domestic enterprises and institutions on domestic textile testing instruments has always been Staying in the original rough mode era has led to huge unfairness in domestic bidding for domestic textile testing instruments. A number of interviewed industry insiders told reporters that at present, low-end homogeneous competition and bidding“excluded”Factors such as foreign hidden technical barriers and other factors have caused the current situation of domestic testing instruments to be embarrassing. Experts at the meeting pointed out that many domestic instruments have long been able to achieve the same performance as imported instruments, and many instruments have even been widely used by domestic scientific research institutions. Some experts further pointed out that money is to buy practicality, not to buy performance indicators. At present, in the mid-range testing instruments, there is almost no difference between domestic equipment and imported equipment, which can be fully satisfied. However, some units purchase with public funds, regardless of the cost, and even take pride in owning imported instruments. Compared with the fierce competition of foreign equipment, it is also an indisputable fact that domestic instruments are in a state of low-grade homogeneous competition. It is understood that most domestic instrument companies are currently“low price market competition”The route, the investment in the product cost is not enough, and the technological level is poor. In order to compete for the market, enterprises reduce the cost of purchasing parts and components, coupled with the weak foundation of precision machining and component products in my country, which directly affects the detection ability of the instrument, which is reflected in the low stability of the instrument. Some experts said that in the next few years, my country's testing institutions (laboratories), industrial projects, major scientific and technological projects (integrated circuits), and new drug development will also purchase a large number of imported instruments. If these test data, process parameters and other information are mastered by foreign countries, it will be detrimental to my country's information security. Therefore, the experts at the meeting suggested to improve the overall competitiveness of the industry, continue to shorten the gap between my country's instrument technology and foreign advanced technology, and strive for an early realization.“import substitution”. Therefore, if you want to realize domestic textile testing instruments, you must take the lead by government departments, treat domestic textile testing instruments fairly and even purchase more domestic textile testing instruments in the bidding and procurement process, do a good job in publicity work in large enterprises, advocate process and subsidy policies, and vigorously Supporting the development of domestic textile testing instruments will be more conducive to the security control of my country's Zhilian inspection.
