The import rate for mass spectrometers has decreased from 89% in 2018 to 81% in 2023, indicating a gradual shift towards domestic production [3][41]. - The electronic measurement instruments market is projected to exceed 40 billion yuan in 2024, with a notable focus on mid-to-high-end products. The market for oscilloscopes is expected to reach 650 million USD by 2025 [4]. Summary by Sections 1. Scientific Instruments Industry - The scientific instruments industry is characterized by high-end foreign brands dominating the market, while domestic brands struggle to gain market share. The government has introduced various policies to promote domestic innovation and application of scientific instruments [2][24]. 2. Scientific Analysis Instruments - The market for scientific analysis instruments is vast, with mass spectrometers and chromatographs showing low domestic production rates. The mass spectrometer market is expected to grow significantly, with a focus on high-resolution and triple quadrupole models as key areas for domestic manufacturers to target [25][50]. 3. Electronic Measurement Instruments - The electronic measurement instruments market is rapidly expanding, with a projected market size of 16.307 billion USD globally by 2024. The domestic market is expected to exceed 40 billion yuan, with a significant portion of high-end products still being imported [4][6]. 4. Policy Guidance - Recent government policies have aimed to support the development of domestic scientific instruments, including tax exemptions for imported instruments used in research and education, which will lower costs for research institutions [21][24].

Core Insights - The report from GF Securities highlights the increasing domestic competition in the general electronic testing and measurement instruments industry, driven by the intensifying US-China technological rivalry and the demand for new productive forces [1] - The global market for general electronic measurement instruments is expected to exceed 40 billion, with the Chinese market projected to reach 16 billion by 2024, indicating significant potential for domestic companies to increase their market share [1] - The current domestic market penetration rate is only 7%, suggesting a vast space for replacement and growth [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - The general electronic measurement instruments include digital oscilloscopes, RF instruments, and waveform generators, with a low domestic penetration rate and high barriers to entry [1] - According to Frost & Sullivan, the domestic market share of key players like Puyuan Precision, Dingyang Technology, and Urit has increased from 3% to 7% from 2018 to 2024, indicating a gradual shift towards domestic alternatives [1] Group 2: Factors Supporting Growth - The combination of geopolitical tensions and the need for high-end product localization is driving a surge in domestic demand for high-end products [2] - Domestic companies are increasingly developing self-researched chips, which mitigates reliance on foreign suppliers and accelerates product iteration [2] - The established R&D teams and distribution channels of domestic firms are well-prepared for the implementation of domestic alternatives [2] Group 3: Industry Recovery - The industry has experienced a downturn for nearly three years, but signs of recovery are emerging, with a positive growth rate of around 5% expected by March 2025 [3] - The strong demand from high-end manufacturing sectors such as new energy, automotive, and semiconductors is driving the commercialization of domestic brands [3] - Domestic high-end products, such as 13GHz oscilloscopes and 50GHz spectrum analyzers, are increasingly meeting the needs of local industrial enterprises [3]
