Core Insights - Mass spectrometry technology is a key common technology in the industry, experiencing strong growth in recent years. Major companies like Xuedilong, Hikvision, and United Imaging are entering the high-end mass spectrometry field, injecting new vitality into a market traditionally dominated by international giants [2][3][4]. Market Overview - The global mass spectrometer market is projected to reach $7.46 billion in sales by 2024, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%, reaching $10.91 billion by 2031. The Chinese market is also performing well, with a market size of 19.27 billion yuan in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 15.37%, significantly higher than the global average [3][4]. Domestic Market Dynamics - The high-end mass spectrometry market in China has long been monopolized by international brands, with about 90% of the instruments in use being imported and a domestic production rate of less than 5%. The "14th Five-Year Plan" for medical equipment development emphasizes the need to focus on high-end mass spectrometry equipment and promote self-sufficiency in core technologies [4][5]. Company Developments - Xuedilong, a leader in environmental monitoring, is accelerating its expansion into the high-end mass spectrometry field. The company has established "HuaiZhong Mass Spectrometry" in collaboration with Huairou Hard Technology Innovation Service Co., and has developed a domestically produced time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) with independent intellectual property rights [5][6][9]. - Hikvision, a leader in security, is leveraging its "Hikvision Intelligent Imaging" platform to create a complete product matrix in chromatography and mass spectrometry. The company has introduced innovative products such as the gas chromatography single quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-MS) AQ3160, which features advanced sensitivity and automation capabilities [10][11]. - United Imaging, a leader in medical imaging, is constructing a global innovation high-end medical equipment manufacturing base, focusing on mass spectrometers and spectrometers. Its subsidiary, Yuezhi Scientific Instruments, is dedicated to the development and application of miniaturized mass spectrometers [12][15]. Industry Trends - The entry of these new players into the mass spectrometry market demonstrates a common characteristic: they possess strong financial resources and mature industrial capabilities, enabling them to rapidly advance infrastructure development and market application expansion. The acceleration of domestic substitution processes, along with ongoing policy and financial support, is forming a complete industrial chain in the domestic mass spectrometry sector [15][16].
