subject: The Domestic Development Of Sensors Is Urgent [print this page] The sensor has become the bottleneck of China's development of Web of Things. According to the analysis, the development of the sensor industry is lagged behind. The domestic sensor demand, especially the high end demand is heavily dependent on imports. The domestic production gap is huge. The current imports of the sensor accounted for 80%. The sensor chip imports accounted for 90%.
The development of state-owned enterprises is in a state of steady growth. It overall can not keep up with the pace of the latest technology development of foreign countries. Except for a few manufacturers, the overall gap is growing. This is because the rapid development of sensor technology and the update of processes and manufacturing equipment are fast.
Many domestic manufacturers with new equipment can not manufacture. And the price of a single device varies from several hundred thousand dollars to millions of dollars. Most manufacturers relying on their own accumulation is difficult to buy new equipment, resulting in many new technologies, new processes can not keep up with the rapid pace of development of foreign enterprises.
The private or joint venture's products occupied the low-end market. The traditional techniques and equipment means can meet the manufacture requirements of the vast majority of products. The market development is in good condition. In addition to individual manufacturers occupy a larger share of the market, other high-end products are monopolized by the foreign manufacturers.
The foreign high-end products occupy the majority of domestic market share. It will continue to dominate the high-end market in the future for a long period of time. The momentum in the short term will not be fundamentally changed.
China's new progress of the sensor industry has the main features. First, in terms of quantity, through the years, with improvements in equipment, the production capacity in recent years has rapid development. Second, in terms of varieties, except for a few varieties, the current domestic industry can produce most varieties of products. Third, in terms of quality, the majority of domestic manufacturers can develop products to meet the engineering need. The product quality begins to approach the level of foreign products.
The analyst said that in the next five years, the sensor's compound annual growth in the domestic market, will reach 31%. Automotive sensor's potential market size is over 5.7 billion, which is 14 times more than now. The sensor will usher in the golden period of development.
