The Spring Festival is approaching, and food safety has become a general concern of the people. Many cities across the country have launched food safety tests to ensure citizens' food safety during the Spring Festival.

In fact, at any time, the issue of food safety inspection can be listed on the most popular social hotspots. Especially in recent years, food safety accidents have been happening endlessly, and people are particularly sensitive to this topic. After the melamine incident, food safety has become a social issue that is highly valued by the country and consumers.

With the development of science and technology, the factors affecting food quality and safety are increasing, more and more items need to be tested, and the requirements are higher and higher, which have put forward higher requirements for detection technology and instruments. Among the current food safety indicators, the detection of residual pesticides, veterinary drugs, and other parameters has received the most attention. The detection equipment used involves high-end detection equipment such as mass spectrometers, chromatographs, and spectrophotometers. Foreign-funded products are generally used in these fields. For the lead.

Although some rapid food safety inspection stations have been established in some of the more developed urban farmer markets in China, it has not yet formed a nationwide spread. Many basic food quality inspection units are facing the problems of insufficient inspection equipment and backward detection methods. The reason is that the imported testing instruments occupy the main market of our country.

Foreign-funded enterprises have strong strengths, their products are relatively mature and stable, but their prices are high, and maintenance and repair costs are high. This is a heavy burden on domestic equipment purchasers, and it is not conducive to the improvement of domestic institutions' testing levels. In order to completely change the current status of domestic food safety, it is critical to improve the independent research and development capabilities of testing instrumentation companies.

China's scientific testing instrument industry started late, so in the early stage of industrial development, well-known foreign brands took the lead in the market, such as the United States Agilent, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waters, Japan Shimadzu and other companies have already settled in our market. The domestic food safety testing equipment market has formed a huge impact. However, domestic enterprises are still in the initial stage of development, and they are generally characterized by small scale, scattered talents, scattered technology, and scattered resources. Due to the lack of core technology, the product quality is poor and the stability is low, which cannot form a large-scale industrialization.

With the country's increased supervision of food safety, governments at all levels have also increased their investment in equipment and scientific research funds. In 2015, the General Administration of Food and Drug Administration issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Food and Drug Inspection and Testing System". The "Opinions" put forward the implementation of reform tasks, strengthen hardware guarantees, strengthen the training of talented personnel, improve the system, improve inspection and research capabilities, Six key tasks for inspection and inspection information sharing. If domestic testing equipment can form a breakthrough, its relatively strong cost performance advantage can meet the market's demand for low-cost equipment, and it will inevitably put pressure on the price of imported products.
At present, the market size of China's food safety testing equipment exceeds 10 billion yuan, and the market growth rate is gradually increasing. Although imported equipment has seized the market opportunity, domestic equipment still has huge room for development. How to improve technology and integrate food testing equipment Being small and refined, and walking into the homes of ordinary people are the most important issues for companies to think about.
