Gas Detection Instruments Industry Analysis Report

Advances in science and technology provide conditions for the development of the gas detection instrumentation industry. Promotion of markets and government policies, improvement of people’s safety awareness, and improvement of relevant laws and regulations are the core drivers for the development of the gas detection industry. The industry is in a period of rapid industrial growth.

As an important branch of instrumentation, gas detection instrumentation (also called “gas detectors”) has a wide range of applications, covering industries, agriculture, transportation, science and technology, environmental protection, national defense, aerospace, and daily life. In general, industrial process gas monitoring and analysis instruments are classified in the field of analytical instruments. Common gas detection instruments and meters are usually miniaturized, portable or fixed, work independently or connected to a network, and are widely applied to petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, mining, pharmaceutical, and semiconductors. Processing, spraying, packaging and other industrial sites and homes, shopping malls, liquefied gas stations, gas stations, gas stations and other civil/commercial fire and explosion prevention, prevention of poisoning, air pollution, and agricultural greenhouse gas detection, biogas analysis and biogas security monitoring and Environmental emergency accidents, terrorist attacks, storage and transportation of dangerous goods.

In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, the instrumentation industry has also developed rapidly. Since 2004, for the first time, production and sales have exceeded the threshold of 100 billion yuan, and the industry has entered the fast lane. In 2006, the total industrial output value exceeded 200 billion yuan; In 2007, the total output value of the instrumentation industry reached 307.8 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 28.5%. According to statistics of the Instrument and Meter Industry Association, the total output value of the instrumentation industry in the first half of 2008 was 175.59 billion yuan, an increase of 23.8% year-on-year, including analytical instruments and environmental monitoring. Instrument growth rate of up to 32%.

From the perspective of technological development, according to the principle of using sensors, common gas detection instruments and meters have their own applicable gases and application fields, and new technologies and new products are becoming the mainstream of future gas detection instrumentation.

For some time to come, gas detection instruments using semiconductors and catalytic principles will still dominate some low-end markets depending on price advantage. Electrochemical sensors and detection instruments have outstanding comprehensive advantages in the field of low concentration toxic gas, organic vapor, alcohol gas, and oxygen monitoring with high accuracy. Infrared gas sensors and instruments are suitable for monitoring a variety of flammable, explosive, and carbon dioxide gases, with high precision, good selectivity, high reliability, no poisoning, no dependence on oxygen, small environmental interference factors, long life, and other significant advantages . These advantages will lead to electrochemical, infrared principle gas detection instruments occupy a wider range of high-end market industries, and gradually become the mainstream of the market in the future. According to incomplete forecast statistics, in the next few years, the domestic industry will use annual demand for infrared gas detection instruments and meters to reach 1.7 million units (sets), with a market capacity of approximately RMB 6.8 billion; and gas detection instrumentation using electrochemical principles. The demand will reach 4 million units (sets) and the market capacity will be approximately RMB 5.6 billion. The prospects are broad and the growth is rapid.

At present, China's economy is in a period of rapid growth. The country attaches great importance to safety and environmental protection, and relevant policies and regulations are gradually introduced, which greatly stimulates the rapid expansion of the market capacity of the gas instrumentation industry.

1) From the viewpoint of China's industrial development, petroleum and petrochemical industry will see that during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period, China’s petroleum and chemical industries will follow the direction of basement, large-scale and integration, optimize the development of basic chemical raw materials, actively develop fine chemicals, and eliminate high-polluting chemicals. enterprise. It is understood that the State will build several 10 million-ton oil refinery enterprises and one million-ton ethylene refinery and chemical integration bases in areas with abundant resources and strong market demand, forming international competitions in the Bohai Bay, Hangzhou Bay, and the Pearl River Delta. Power of refinery companies. The first batch of four national oil reserve bases will be built: Ningbo Zhenhai, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, Qingdao, Shandong, and Dalian, Liaoning. The total capacity of the four oil reserve bases will reach 16 million cubic meters. In 3 years, 20 or so tons of crude oil processing bases will be gradually formed.

In 2008, China will start the construction of three major oil refining projects in advance, namely: China National Petroleum Corporation, Guangxi, a large-scale oil refinery, with a total investment of over 10 billion yuan, processing 10 million tons of crude oil annually; Sinopec Qingdao large oil refining company, with a total investment of about 12.5 billion yuan, annual refining Capacity is 10 million tons; CNOOC Huizhou has large oil refining; infrastructure investment is approximately RMB 19.3 billion, and annual processing capacity is 12 million tons. The state will also adopt a park-based model to develop the ethylene industry. The seven major ethylene projects will be launched in the near future. In 2010, the ethylene production capacity is expected to reach 5.83 million tons. These large-scale petroleum and petrochemical projects that were recently opened or planned will use a large number of related gas detection instruments and meters, especially high-performance and more advantageous infrared optical gas detection instruments.

While the demand for petroleum and petrochemical products in China keeps growing steadily, more and higher requirements will be put on the quality and variety of petroleum and petrochemical products. The major components of crude oil are carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Compounds containing sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen are harmful to petroleum products and must be removed as much as possible during petroleum processing. This produces a large amount of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide and organic vapors such as benzene, aldehydes, and ketones during production and processing, and poses a threat to production safety and environmental protection. At present, gas detection and analysis methods are generally used to control. The detection of combustible gas in oil production and the monitoring of hydrogen, oxygen, and other environmental gases also require the use of gas detection instruments. It is estimated that an average of 40,000 tons of gas detection instrumentation will be required per 10,000 tons of refined oil production, of which 20 will be combustible gases, and the annual output of 220 million tons of refined oil will be used to meet the annual demand for gas detection instrumentation. About 880,000 units (sets), of which about 40,000 units (sets) of flammable gas detection equipment, about 220,000 units of toxic gas detection equipment (sets), and 220,000 units of other organic vapor and gas analysis equipment (sets) . Various types of oil and gas stations have large demand for gas detectors for the detection of toxic gases such as combustible gases, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, and organic vapors such as benzene, aldehydes and ketones. They are mainly used for safety protection against poisoning and explosion accidents. On average, each gas station requires approximately 7.2 sets of gas detection instruments. In 2007, the total number of domestic gas stations had exceeded 100,000, and the annual demand for flammable gas detection instruments and meters was about 720,000 units (sets). Comprehensive analysis of the above data according to each set of gas detection instruments by 2,500 yuan analysis The current market size of gas detection instrumentation in the entire petrochemical industry is about 4 billion.

2) Gas Industry China's natural gas transmission lines including the West-East Gas Pipeline, the Shanxi-Beijing Second Line, the Zhongwu Line, the Shibuya-Ninglang Line, and the Funing Line have been built in China. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, it is necessary to gradually improve the national oil and gas pipeline network and construct the second West-East Gas Pipeline and land-entry oil and gas pipelines in due course. In addition, China also plans to double the share of natural gas in the energy mix in 2010 to reduce its dependence on coal. According to a plan announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, natural gas accounted for 2.8% of China's total energy consumption in 2005. In 2010, natural gas accounted for 5.3% of China's total energy consumption. Therefore, the state has increased the exploration and exploration of gas fields. As a result, more and more domestic gas fields are put into production. According to the “11th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development” announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, the target for natural gas production in 2010 will reach 92 billion cubic meters, which is more than 50% higher than the output of 2007.

A large number of natural gas field development and pipeline construction will certainly greatly increase the demand for natural gas gas detection equipment, and high-performance infrared gas detection instruments and meters have been given a rare opportunity for development. In the process of gas extraction, processing, transportation and use, the demand for combustible gas detection instruments will reach several hundred thousand units.

3) Chemicals With the growing shortage of petroleum resources, coal chemical industry, as the focus of China's medium and long-term energy development strategy, will occupy an important position in the long-term development in the future. China plans to invest more than 1 trillion yuan to vigorously develop the coal chemical industry, and plans to build seven coal chemical industry zones across the country, namely, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Mengdong, Heidong, Sulu, Henan, Central Plains, Yungui, and Xinjiang. At the same time, the transformation of chemical companies into coal chemical industry has become a trend. Successively, Shuanghuan Technology, Lutianhua, Yuntianhua, Liuhua Chemicals, and Hubei Yihua have all been involved in coal companies to prepare for the transfer to coal chemical industry.

In the industrial route, both the coking industry, coal gasification-synthetic ammonia, coal-based methanol, coal-synthetic oil, and coal-to-chemical cogeneration all have extensive demands on gas detection products, especially for sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, chlorine, and ammonia. The demand for gas sensors such as gas is very large. According to preliminary calculations, an average of 22 gas sensors are required per 10,000 tons of coke production, including 10 combustible gases (sets) and 12 toxic gasses (sets); with current coke 2.6 The calculation of the annual production of 100 million tons requires the use of 260,000 combustible gas detection instruments (sets), and more than 312,000 toxic gas detection instruments (sets). The total annual demand is about 572,000 sets (sets) per year, according to each gas set. Detection instrumentation 2000 yuan calculation, the current coal chemical industry in the gas detection instrumentation market capacity will reach 1.144 billion yuan.

Large-scale chemical manufacturing industrial parks such as fine chemicals, bio-chemicals, specialty chemicals, and agrochemicals also have a wide range of demand for gas detectors. The newly promulgated “Safety Facilities Directory for Hazardous Chemical Construction Projects” clearly stipulates that “pressure, temperature, liquid level, flow rate, composition and other well reporting facilities, combustible gas, toxic and hazardous gas, and oxygen testing and reporting facilities must be installed. "At present, China has built more than 60 chemical parks. Relying on the Yangtse River Economic Zone and the Yangtze River Delta region of the Yangtze River, chemical parks such as Sichuan Western Chemical City, Suzhou Industrial Park, and Shanghai Chemical Industrial Park have formed; relying on the Zhujiang River’s Pearl River Economic Belt and the Pan-Pearl River Delta, Maoming and Huizhou have formed. Zhuhai and other chemical industrial parks. In the above chemical industrial parks alone, more than 7,300 chemical companies were stationed, covering the production of basic chemical raw materials and synthetic materials, chemical raw materials and chemical products, pesticides, specialty chemicals, and rubber products, as well as gas detection products. The demand is comprehensive, covering almost all types of gases, among which organic vapors, flammable other, sulfur-containing and nitrogen-containing toxic gas detection products are the most. With the continuous stricter requirements of the State Administration of Seismology on the safety of chemical and hazardous chemicals processing, the amount of gas detection instrumentation in the chemical and hazardous chemicals processing fields has also increased year by year. The current market capacity is approximately 300,000 units (sets), of which combustible gases. About 227,000 units (sets), about 73,000 units (sets) of organic vapors and toxic gases. According to 2,000 yuan for each product, it will have a market size of more than 600 million yuan.

4) Coal Industry The coal industry, which supports one of the key energy industries in China with rapid economic development, has a larger number of gas sensor devices. China is the world's largest coal mine safety instrument and equipment country, and it is also one of the important producers of coal mine safety instruments. At present, there are millions of gas sensor installations in key coal mines in China, but the safety issue remains severe, and the number of casualties and property losses is unprecedented. Therefore, the country has also paid more attention to coal mine safety requirements. According to the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Coal Industry Development" announced by the National Development and Reform Commission, the preliminary statistics of coal production in China in 2006 were 2.325 billion tons, including 1.125 billion tons of state-owned key coal mines, 308 million tons of local state-owned coal mines, and 892 million tons of township coal mines. In the coal mining industry, a mine safety monitoring system with an annual output of 1 million tons requires at least 20 gas sensors installed and a replacement rate of 30% per year. As a result, the total annual demand for gas sensors is 1.16 million, with a market size of more than 1.8 billion yuan. Of these, 30% may require the use of gas detection equipment based on the principle of infrared measurement. This not only improves the level of gas detection in coal mines, but also promotes the upgrading of the gas detection industry.

4) Metallurgical industry The metallurgical industry has the most extensive use of gas detection mainly in steel and aluminum production. China is the world’s largest steel producer. During 2006-2010, China's steel production capacity will increase by 240 million tons, which is basically the same as the 260 million tons of production capacity that was increased during the “10th Five-Year Plan” period. The scale of production capacity of enterprises has grown rapidly. In 2007, there were 122 domestic enterprises with a production capacity of one million tons and 13 companies with 10 million tons of goods. These were the Anben Group, Baosteel, New Tangshan Steel, Wuhan Steel, Maanshan Steel, Shagang, Shougang, Jinan Steel, and Laizhou. Steel, Valin, Baotou Steel, Taigang, Anyang Iron and Steel, of which the capacity of the Anping Group is 28 million tons, Baosteel Group is 27.5 million tons (excluding 81 million tons), Xintang Steel is 26 million tons, and Wuhan Steel is 18 million. Tons (excluding Liusteel 6 million tons).

According to the current domestic companies' projects under construction and mergers and restructuring, by 2010, there will be 6 enterprises with a scale of more than 20 million tons, of which the production capacity of both Anben Group and Baosteel Group will exceed 40 million tons, and the size of New Tang Steel Group will exceed 3,000. 10,000 tons, while Shougang Group, Shandong Iron and Steel Group, Wuhan Iron and Steel Group will also be more than 25 million tons. At the same time, there will be new 10 million-tonne enterprises in the future. In short, before 2010, China's steel industry is still in a period of scale expansion, and after 2010, the development direction of China's iron and steel industry will expand from the quantitative level to the quality level. The rapid development and expansion of iron and steel enterprises, especially the new steel production projects, have a huge demand for gas detection products.

In addition to steel, the continuous development of the aluminum industry has led to increasing demand for gas sensors from related companies. At present, China has formed six alumina bases in Zibo, Shandong, Zhengzhou, Henan, Hejin, Henan, Zhongzhou, Henan, Guiyang, Guizhou, and Pingguo, Guangxi. Recently, two alumina bases, Huayin and Jinbei in Guangxi, were approved and approved. Of the two alumina projects, the country will eventually form the top ten alumina bases.

In the steel and aluminum industry, gas sensors such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen oxides are widely used. They mainly monitor fuel combustion conditions, increase fuel efficiency, save energy, and reduce consumption; monitor exhaust gas conditions and reduce pollution; Gas leaks from industrial sites, safeguarding production safety and preventing occupational diseases. Enterprises with a production capacity of one million tons require an average of about 1,100 sets of gas detection instruments per year, and the annual demand for the ten million-ton steel enterprises is about 4,000. If 116 million-ton steel enterprises and 10 million-ton enterprises are counted, the annual demand for toxic gas detection equipment for steel companies in the metallurgical industry will be 160,000 units (sets) or more. In addition to aluminum smelting and other metallurgical industries, which push it, the annual demand for the metallurgical industry should be more than 260,000 units (sets).

Comprehensive analysis of the above data according to each set of gas detection instruments by 2,000 yuan analysis The current market capacity of gas detection instruments in the entire metallurgical industry is about 520 million.

6) Environmental Protection With the continuous increase of national environmental protection control, the amount of gas detection instrumentation in the environmental protection field has also increased year by year. More and more applications have been made in boiler smoke detection, atmospheric quality testing, etc., and the amount of gas sensors in the environmental protection field has been used. increase yearly. In the field of environmental protection, toxic gas sensors are mainly used to detect the environmental pollution gases such as flue gas, exhaust gas and exhaust gas. The most widely used is the fixed potential electrochemical electrochemical gas sensor for the detection of CO, H2S, NH3, SO2, NOX, Cl2 and other compound vapors such as HCl, HCN and other toxic gases. Its specific applications include boiler flue gas detection, atmospheric quality testing, and other applications. As environmental protection requirements increase, their demand will increase rapidly. In terms of boiler flue gas detection, there are about 15,000 boilers in operation in China. Each boiler has at least two flue gas ducts, and at least two flue gas analysis sensors are required. This alone needs more than 30,000 boilers. Environmental gas monitoring involves a wider range of aspects. From the monitoring of the atmospheric environment to the inspection of industrial gas emissions, gas sensors and analytical instrumentation must be used. According to the "Environmental Air Quality Testing Regulations", the number of national environmental air quality evaluation points should be set at 1 monitoring station per 25-30km2 built-up area, and not less than 8 points. Therefore, the annual demand for gas detectors in the field of environmental protection testing is greater than 100,000 units. The annual market capacity is about 100,000 units (sets). Calculated at 5,000 yuan per product, there will be a market size of over 500 million yuan.

7) Demand for aerospace, modern military, anti-chemical warfare and anti-terrorism, etc. China's aerospace industry is developing rapidly. Modern and powerful navy construction, submarines and surface vessels, and even aircraft carriers are all on the list of development plans. All of these areas involve the sealing of strings and so on. Semi-enclosed space toxic and explosive gas detection technology.

The turmoil in the international situation, terrorist activities and biochemical warfare may occur. The need for security monitoring, anti-chemical warfare, and anti-terrorism monitoring for all kinds of lethal toxic gas is also increasing. The application of gas detection in these sophisticated technical fields requires a large number of gas detection instruments and meters. It is estimated that the total annual demand will exceed 30,000 units (sets), mainly for toxic gas detection needs, and will form a market size of more than 300 million yuan.

8) Indoor air quality control With the increase of safety and health awareness, people are more and more eager to control the air quality in underground shopping malls, underground garages, commercial buildings, rail transit, etc., or automatic air exchange of central air conditioners. This area is mainly for the detection of carbon dioxide gas concentration. Because of the extremely stable chemical nature of carbon dioxide gas, general chemical detection methods cannot measure it, but infrared gas sensors can easily detect carbon dioxide.

In agricultural greenhouses or incubators, the growth process of plants and animals is closely related to the concentration of carbon dioxide gas. The concentration of carbon dioxide gas directly affects the output value of the agricultural product, and different plants and animals have different requirements for carbon dioxide concentration during the growth process. Therefore, periodic detection of carbon dioxide during planting and breeding is necessary. Carbon dioxide gas detection in this area, infrared method is the best choice.

According to the data from the National Vegetable Engineering Technology Research Center, the total area of ​​horticultural facilities in China has accounted for 80% of the world's total, including nearly 30 million acres of vegetable facilities. The total number of sheds is nearly 20 million, of which China's large-scale multi-span greenhouses have formed an industry with a total of 1.5 million. The requirements for gas detection in large multi-span greenhouses are mainly focused on the detection of carbon dioxide gas.

According to calculations, the demand for advanced infrared gas detectors in these fields will reach 300,000 units. Calculated at 2,000 yuan per unit, it can form an industry scale of 600 million yuan.

9) Other user needs Gas detection instruments also have a wide market space in the fields of pharmaceuticals, food, rural biogas measurement, municipal pipe network, sewage treatment, urban pipe network, communications power, and semiconductor manufacturing.

Refrigeration and food industries need to detect the concentration of ammonia, and municipalities use chlorine gas and hydrogen sulfide gas for tap water treatment and sewer sewage treatment. Medical and health needs to detect oxygen. The total demand for related sensors is about 100,000 units (sets) per year. Coupled with the detection of special gases in other industries (such as semiconductors, electricity, etc.), comprehensively, toxic gas detection instruments and meters in this field have a large market size.

The underground city pipe network is one of the major projects for each city, and it is also the infrastructure guarantee for people's harmonious life. In China, underground pipelines and communication power pipe networks are often overcharged due to high levels of biogas and gas, causing explosions, causing injury to personnel and damage to facilities. To achieve a stable and harmonious city life, the underground pipe network safety of the city must be completely resolved. At present, only a few cities in China have imported infrared gas detectors to detect underground pipe networks in cities. Normally, the municipal pipe network (gas, telecommunications, and power) of a prefecture-level city only has hundreds of maintenance shafts, and the number of central cities is as many as several thousand. There is an urgent need for hazardous gas monitoring devices that are affordable and reliable. It can be seen that the maintenance of groundwater pipelines and municipal pipelines is an important market for the promotion of infrared gas sensors, with broad prospects and is expected to reach several hundred thousand sets.

With the country’s economic development and energy shortages, China is forced to solve the contradiction of energy shortage in our country from new energy sources and renewable energy sources. In May 2007, the Ministry of Agriculture promulgated the “Agricultural Biomass Energy Industry Development Plan”, which clearly stated that biogas, biological liquid fuel, and straw energy are the key development targets for biomass energy during the “11th Five-Year Plan” period. It is planned that by 2015, the total number of biogas used in rural households will reach about 60 million households, the annual production of biogas will be about 23.3 billion cubic meters, and the industrialization of biogas will be gradually promoted.

By 2015, 8000 biogas projects will be established in large-scale breeding farms and breeding communities, with an annual output of 670 million cubic meters of biogas. In the “National Rural Biogas Service System Construction Plan”, it is stipulated that governments at all levels will provide key support for the provision of various service equipment, including biogas detection equipment (methane detectors), in accordance with the “establishment of rural biogas service outlets based on the project villages. The number of outlets with capacity for service of 300-500 biogas farmers is calculated in 2015. In 2015, 60 million biogas users in rural areas need to build 120,000-200,000 service outlets, and more than 120,000 biogas detection instruments are used, mainly Infrared gas detection equipment.

10) The national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" also explicitly proposed to revitalize China's equipment manufacturing industry, and actively develop large-scale petrochemical, coal chemical equipment, million-ton large-scale ethylene, large-scale PTA devices.

We will vigorously develop transportation equipment such as automobiles, trains, ships, and aircrafts, as well as offshore oil engineering equipment, large ore and crude oil tankers, container ships, LNG ships, and high value-added ships and ancillary equipment. Most of these large-scale equipments need to be monitored and tested for possible flammable, explosive and toxic gases during their manufacture and use. Usually these large-scale complete sets of equipment have more urgent needs for infrared gas detection instruments, and the relevant market capacity can reach tens of thousands of sets.

11) The latest information from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security shows that as of the end of June 2008, the number of vehicles in China reached 61.22 million, and the rapid growth rate has brought pressure on road traffic safety enforcement, leading to road traffic accidents. The incidence is high. Of all the causes of traffic accidents that caused death, drink driving was ranked at the fourth speed after speeding, not following the regulations and illegally occupying the road, and accounted for 10% to 15% of the total accidents. The number of deaths caused by traffic accidents increases at an alarming rate every year.

The easiest and most practical way to determine if a person is driving after drinking is to test the alcohol level in the exhalation of the driver. This method is also the main detection method used by developed countries. According to the December 20, 2008, the Ministry of Public Security issued a revised "Regulations on Handling Procedures for Illegal Acts of Road Traffic Safety," which explicitly mentions that blood test procedures are adjusted to improve law enforcement efficiency. It is stipulated that after the breath test reaches or exceeds the critical value of drunkenness, the parties test the blood test before they disagree with the test results, thereby reducing the enforcement steps, improving the efficiency of law enforcement, and providing a legal basis for the effectiveness of the detection of exhaled breath alcohol content. . Currently, the exhaled alcohol content detector using electrochemical sensors is the only economic solution that meets regulatory requirements.

At present, cross-borehole teams across the country are popularizing the use of exhaled breath alcohol detectors, and their use has increased rapidly. In the past five years, the number of motor vehicles and drivers has been increasing at a rate of 10% or more per year, respectively, and the law enforcement of the wells has continuously increased. In 2007, the total number of wells in the country exceeded 200,000. Related reports indicate that At present, wells equipped with alcohol detectors are equipped with a rate of less than 10%. The State plans to use the exhaled breath alcohol detectors in the main well-trafficking teams in the next 3 years. The rate of 60% will be used to calculate the rate of gas exhalation in the next 3 years. Demand for content detectors also exceeds 100,000 units.

12) Civil Gas Leakage and Carbon Monoxide Detection With the continuous discovery of China’s large gas fields and the put into use of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project, the penetration rate of gas use has increased substantially. Domestic gas safety accidents occur from time to time, but the safe use of gas has come to be paid more attention. The installation of flammable gas reporting devices has become a mandatory requirement in many cities. About 90 million natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas users in the country, if one-tenth of the use of combustible gas reporting device, the total amount of 9 million units, according to 100 yuan per 100 yuan, there is a market capacity of 900 million yuan.

Households and commercial establishments use non-electricity cooking and heating, all of which may produce incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide gas Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. It is not easy to detect and it is extremely dangerous. Globally, many deaths and injuries have been caused by carbon monoxide poisoning incidents. Therefore, governments of all countries attach great importance to the detection of civil carbon monoxide. For example, in 2006, the Ministry of Health of China, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Environmental Protection Administration, the China Meteorological Administration, and the State Council Information Office jointly formulated the "non-professional carbon monoxide Emergency Plan for Poisoning Incidents; in December of the same year, the joint ministry of the Ministry of Construction issued a “Circular on Enhancing Non-professional Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Precautions” to all localities, requesting all regions and all relevant departments to seriously implement non-professional carbon monoxide poisoning. Prevent work. In 2007, the Ministry of Education also issued the “Notice of the Ministry of Education on Doing Pre-Quality Safeguarding Work for Kindergartens for Primary and Secondary Schools in Autumn and Winter of 2007” according to the characteristics of its own education system, and required qualified schools to install carbon monoxide well reporting devices in student dormitories.

Another need to install gas-injectors is the use of gas water heaters, especially in-line gas water heaters. Incomplete combustion due to improper use of gas water heaters or quality defects causes carbon monoxide poisoning to occur from time to time. According to the 2006 Survey Report of the Consumer Goods Market released by the China Industry Enterprise Information Distribution Center of the National Bureau of Statistics, China's total production of gas water heaters reached 8,369,600 units in 2006 alone. By the end of 2006, China had issued 153 gas-fired water heater production license companies, and the number of gas-fired water heaters had reached 30 million, of which more than 50% were straight-line. For safety, the State Bureau of Technical Supervision has issued a mandatory standard (GB6932-94) requiring gas water heaters to have protective devices that prevent unsafe combustion. The above water heaters are required to install a carbon monoxide well (control) device within five years. Need 6 million units.

From another point of view, China's household or public use of gas energy for cooking, heating, and bathing is very popular and rapid development. The country has more than 1.3 billion people, and 300 million families, if there are 1% of households, there are 3 million. The market capacity, plus the use of public places, also has a market capacity of not less than 3.5 million per year.

In Europe and the United States and other developed countries, due to the large number of use of wall-hung boilers in winter heating, all countries have attached great importance to the detection of carbon monoxide. At present, some countries in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada have legislation that requires the installation of carbon monoxide injectors for new houses and existing homes. At present, carbon monoxide injectors abroad have entered a large number of supermarket sales, the annual consumption of more than one million units.

Based on the above market information, it can be predicted that various gas detection instruments will usher in a period of rapid growth along with the rapid development of China's economy. Compared with the market growth rate of more than 20% in the instrumentation industry in recent years. The speed of the gas detection instrumentation industry has reached a staggering 30%. It is estimated that in the next five years, there will be more than 10 million gas detection instruments for household commercial applications in the above-mentioned fields; the demand for industrial combustible gas detection instruments will exceed 5 million, of which the demand for infrared gas detection instruments will reach 1.7 million. Taiwan (sets), market capacity of about 6.8 billion; measuring toxic gas electrochemical instrumentation demand will reach 4 million units (sets), market capacity of about 5.6 billion yuan, the market prospects are broad, rapid growth.

The vast market demand has greatly stimulated the innovation and growth of domestic gas detection instrumentation manufacturers. The total domestic civil gas detector output increased from 1.9 million units in 2000 to 3.1 million units in 2008. The total industrial gas detector output increased from 170,000 units in 2000 to 960,000 units in 2008.

From the above data. Due to the short development time in the domestic gas detection instrument industry, the technical thresholds for civil and commercial gas detection instruments are low, and the regulatory requirements are not strict. The market is mainly occupied by domestic enterprises, and many small-scale enterprises divide more than half of the market share.

The gas detection equipment used in the industrial field is mainly occupied by imported products in the high-end market, and a large number of low-end market shares are occupied by many small-scale enterprises in China. These small companies usually have poor self-innovation capabilities, and their product quality is not too rigid, and they face the risk of being shuffled by larger companies.

In gas detection instruments and meters, because of the relatively low technology and funding threshold for independent gas detection instrumentation, there are many enterprises that produce such gas detection instruments. Many companies only produce such gas detection instruments and meters. For example, gas detection instrument network.

At present, another prominent feature of domestic gas detection instrumentation companies is that their product lines are relatively short and their application fields are limited. Most of them are confined to the fields of industrial safety and civil gas safety. A few enterprises are involved in environmental protection, HVAC, medical and health, and rural energy. In areas such as biogas and greenhouses, Henan Hanwei has deployed a series of products in the above areas based on its own sensor technology and industrial advantages. In the field of exhaled breath alcohol content detectors for road traffic safety and rural energy biogas, the products of 2008 Market share reached 35% and 55% respectively. The gas detection equipment in the areas of HVAC, medical and health, and greenhouses are almost all imported products, such as the famous Inscore and BW.

The broad prospects, rapid development and high profit levels of the gas detection instrumentation industry have also attracted the attention of the relevant industrial instrumentation giants. Some industrial instrumentation giants quickly adjusted their direction to intervene in the gas detection instrumentation industry, and the market competition became increasingly fierce. It is foreseeable that some domestic small-scale gas detection instruments and meters companies face the danger of reshuffling, and relatively large-scale enterprises also need to strengthen research and development and technological innovation, expand production scale, increase market share, and quickly establish core gas sensor R&D and production. Ability to do great work as soon as possible, only to have enough strength to compete with multinational giants.
