Prospect of sensor manufacturing industry can be expected

Under the guidance and support of a series of policies made by the country to strengthen the development and application of sensors, China has formed a certain industrial base for sensors and has made considerable progress in technological innovation, independent research and development, and achievement transformation. In recent years, sensors are in the stage of transition from traditional to new sensors. The new sensor not only promotes the transformation of traditional industries, but also promotes the birth of a new type of industry. It is a new economic growth point in the 21st century.

The sensor industry is recognized as a promising high-tech industry at home and abroad, and is attracting worldwide attention for its high technological content, good economic returns, strong penetration capabilities, and broad market prospects.

From 2007 to 2012, China's sensor industry has been well developed. The total industrial output value of the industry has shown an overall upward trend, and its share in GDP has remained at between 0.10% and 0.15%.

With a series of policy guidance and support such as “developing high technology, realizing industrialization”, “strengthening the development of sensors, and general application in the national economy”, the sensor has been driven by the booming Chinese electronic information industry market. Formed a certain industrial base, and made great progress in technological innovation, independent research and development, results transformation and competitiveness. A number of new sensors based on MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology are entering the market. The sensor design technology, material control technology, production technology, reliability technology and test technology have been continuously developed and the mass production capacity has been gradually improved. Traditional sensors such as mechanical sensors, gas sensors, temperature sensors, optical sensors, and voltage-sensitive sensors not only have gradually increased their share in the domestic market, but also have some exports.

According to data released by the Industry Research Institute of Forward-looking Industry, “2013-2017 China's Sensor Manufacturing Industry Development Prospects and Investment Forecast Analysis Report”, China’s sensor market has shown an overall upward trend in recent years. In 2012, the domestic sensor manufacturing industry’s sales were approximately 50,961 million. Yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.03%. At the same time, the area of ​​application of sensors is continuously expanding. The main application areas are industrial and automotive electronic products, communications and electronic products, consumer electronics products, and special equipment.

In recent years, sensors are in the stage of transition from traditional to new sensors. The new sensors are characterized by miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multi-functionalization, systematization, and networking. They not only promote the transformation of traditional industries, but also lead to the establishment of new industries. They are the new economic growth points in the 21st century.
