Not long ago, China Institute of Test Instruments and China Analysis and Testing Association commissioned by the relevant state departments, China's testing equipment industry carried out research work. According to the survey, China's existing types of test equipment enterprises more than 6,000, has become a complete variety of varieties, with a certain technical basis and production scale of the industrial system. But at the same time industry experts also pointed out that although China's test equipment industry has a certain development, but far from the national economy to meet the growing needs of all walks of life. The vast majority of its products are middle and low level of technology, and reliability, stability and other key indicators have not yet fully meet the requirements. High-end, large-scale equipment almost all rely on imports, while foreign companies also occupy the domestic mid-range products and many key parts market more than 60% share. According to the customs statistics, with the complete set of engineering projects supporting the test equipment caused by the annual imports of various types of test equipment close to China's test equipment industry output value of 50%. In addition, more than 6,000 enterprises, the annual sales income of more than 10 million yuan less than 1000, the whole industry low economic efficiency.
According to the analysis, the current constraints of China's test equipment industry development "bottleneck" is mainly concentrated in the following four aspects:
Technological innovation and industrialization slow progress
China's test equipment industry in science and technology innovation and industrialization with the international trend compared to too much stagnation, the situation is very grim. In the 21st century, today, the general level of China's test equipment still remain in the early 1980s, the international level; large and high-end equipment almost all dependent on imports; many urgent need for special equipment or blank; middle and low product quality assurance There are many difficulties need to overcome ... ... technological innovation and its industrialization slow progress, is restricting the development of China's test equipment industry, a "bottleneck."
The main factors that restrict the slow progress of technological innovation and its industrialization in China's test equipment industry are:
First, the scientific research funding is seriously inadequate. Internationally renowned test equipment companies for the development of scientific and technological innovation funds are generally more than 10% of annual sales, and China's test equipment business not only sales are not high for the development of scientific and technological innovation funds generally do not exceed 3% of annual sales amount, Compared to corporate research funding investment is pitiful.

 Second, the scarcity of talent and the loss of a large number of scientific and technological innovation and industrialization of the equipment industry, a serious obstacle, especially for state-owned enterprises.
Third, the lack of official, production, learning, research, gold, with the effective combination. In the past, only to promote the combination of production and research, there are few examples of success, there is no official and financial sector and the user involved, here refers to the financial sector can also be business or private capital, in the current test equipment companies face the situation, It is extremely difficult to succeed in realizing industrialization.
Product stability and reliability problems
China's production of various types of test equipment, the main products, including industrial automation instruments and systems, communications equipment, although the technical indicators with foreign similar products is not a big gap, but the stability and reliability problems have not been a fundamental long-term solution , As China's test equipment industry constraints a serious obstacle.
The reason is: First, long neglected the basic technology research and development; Second, the quality of domestic parts and basic pieces, but off; Third, the enterprise product quality control and management ineffective. Product quality, however, to speed up the development of test equipment industry can only be on paper.
