The policy of updating manufacturing equipment has been fully implemented, and the market for upgrading and replacing old instruments has ushered in a huge incremental space
From 2025 to 2026, the national large-scale manufacturing equipment update and technological transformation special policy will be fully implemented. Multiple incentive policies such as financial subsidies, tax incentives, and technological transformation support will be introduced for traditional industrial fields such as petrochemicals, electricity, metallurgy, chemical engineering, municipal utilities, and environmental monitoring, encouraging enterprises to eliminate old and backward, high energy consumption, low precision, poor safety, and non intelligent automation instruments, and replace them with high-precision, digital, intelligent, energy-saving, and safe new instruments.

From 2025 to 2026, the national large-scale manufacturing equipment update and technological transformation special policy will be fully implemented. Multiple incentive policies such as financial subsidies, tax incentives, and technological transformation support will be introduced for traditional industrial fields such as petrochemicals, electricity, metallurgy, chemical engineering, municipal utilities, and environmental monitoring, encouraging enterprises to eliminate old and backward, high energy consumption, low precision, poor safety, and non intelligent automation instruments, and replace them with high-precision, digital, intelligent, energy-saving, and safe new instruments. The market for the transformation and replacement of old instruments will usher in huge incremental space, becoming the most direct growth force in the industry in the short term.
The scale of existing instruments in China's traditional industrial sector is huge, and a large number of mechanical and analog signal old instruments that were put into use before 2010 are still in operation. There are generally problems such as measurement accuracy attenuation, poor stability, lack of data transmission capability, high safety hazards, high energy consumption, and inability to meet the requirements of environmental measurement and intelligent manufacturing, which urgently need to be updated and replaced in batches. The equipment update policy clearly includes automation instruments and measurement and control systems in the scope of key technological transformation subsidies, significantly reducing the cost of replacement and transformation for enterprises and directly stimulating their enthusiasm for transformation.
According to industry estimates, the number of old industrial automation instruments awaiting renovation in China exceeds 10 million units, and the overall replacement market size exceeds 100 billion yuan. The renovation period is concentrated between 2025 and 2027, which will continue to provide stable growth momentum for the industry.
Instrument transformation and replacement is not simply hardware replacement, but a synchronous completion of digital upgrading, communication networking transformation, safety compliance upgrading, and system integration optimization. At the same time as replacing old instruments, enterprises simultaneously build intelligent monitoring systems, data collection platforms, and safety warning systems to achieve comprehensive intelligent upgrading of on-site measurement and control, and meet multiple requirements for safety production, environmental supervision, energy consumption control, and intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, the old measuring instruments in the municipal gas, water supply, and heating pipelines will be synchronously renovated, and intelligent remote transmission instruments will fully replace traditional mechanical meters, further expanding the replacement market scale. The equipment update policy not only drives the short-term growth of the instrument market, but also promotes the optimization of the industry's stock structure, accelerates the digital and intelligent transformation of the entire industry, and builds a solid stock foundation for the long-term high-quality development of the industry.
