China's electronic measuring instrument industry

In the past decade, China's electronic measuring instrument industry has accelerated its strategic transition from 'following imports' to 'global layout' by going global. The market size continues to expand, with a market size of approximately 39.793 billion yuan for electronic measuring instruments in 2023 and a breakthrough of over 100 billion yuan in 2025, representing a year-on-year growth of approximately 15%. The export scale has steadily increased, and the export value of scientific instruments has grown from a low level to 4.27 billion US dollars from 2019 to 2023, with a significant compound annual growth rate. Diversified overseas regions, Chinese enterprises have taken root in Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, Mexico and other places, and pioneers have firmly established themselves. Technological breakthroughs are accelerating, upgrading from 'single function' to 'multi-dimensional integration'. The proportion of high-end products has increased from less than 20% to 40%, and domestic substitution is economically and feasible. Optimizing the competitive landscape, leading enterprises such as Youlide, Puyuan Jingdian, and Dingyang Technology have built technological barriers, accelerated the pace of capacity export under tariff catalysis, and built overseas bases to avoid trade risks while radiating to the global market. The favorable policy environment, the resonance between independent and controllable strategies and going global, and the turning point of industry demand in 2025 have emerged. Overall, the Chinese electronic measuring instrument industry has formed a global industrial layout, driven by both technological innovation and market expansion. It is expected that the depth of going global will further increase during the '15th Five Year Plan' period.
