The state has raised the development of the information industry to a strategic height, and informatization has brought about industrialization, which has become an important opportunity for the development of the information industry. The basic means for the development, production, and maintenance of the information industry are electronic measuring instruments, so that electronic measuring instruments for information products will be predicted to have greater development and will maintain an annual growth rate of 20% in the next five years. By 2008, electronic measuring instruments will be manufactured in China. Sales are expected to reach more than 7 billion yuan.

In addition, the rapid development of household electrical appliances in China, such as the development and large-scale production of digital televisions, DVDs, and multimedia products, will bring greater development needs to electronic measuring instruments for home appliances.

After several decades of development, the electrical instrumentation and instrumentation industry has formed a certain scale of production and capability. The products have reached a certain level. Bulk products can basically meet the needs of the domestic market, and their market share is above 95%. The market has increased demand for high-overload, long-life, electronic, and digital products. It also requires product standardization, serialization, generalization, and a good performance-to-price ratio. Among them, the demand for inductive watt-hour meters will gradually transition to 25-30 years of long-life, more than 6 times the overload capacity meter, and the demand for electronic watt-hour meters will increase further. At the same time, the use of centralized automatic meter reading system for each user to implement remote meter reading is a development trend. In 2003, the sales volume of domestic electrical measuring instruments and meters enterprises reached 11.566 billion yuan, and the annual growth rate was 35.9%. In 2003, the import value of electrical measuring instruments and meters reached 215 million US dollars, with an annual growth rate of 40.1%. In the next 3 to 5 years, the market demand for electrical measuring instruments and meters will still increase, and the annual demand for electrical instrumentation will exceed 60 million sets. Among them, there are 48 million electric meter products, 7 million electric meters, 2.5 million portable electric meters, 1.5 million digital meters, and 1 million other meters. The demand structure of each product is also changing. The proportion of electronic meter in meter products will gradually increase, and the proportion of electronic meter will exceed 40% by 2008; the technology of installed meter, portable meter and digital meter The content will also increase and the product level will continue to increase. Therefore, in the next 3 to 5 years, although the total annual product demand will not change much, the total sales will continue to increase. It is expected that in the next 3 to 5 years, the sales of the entire electrical instrumentation products will still increase by 10% each year, of which the demand for the power sector accounts for 90% and the demand for other departments accounts for 10%.
