Market Overview
Stable Growth of End-user Industries Drive Chinese General Purpose Test & Measurement Equipment Markets

Steady growth of various end-user industries such as electronics and industrial automation is boosting the Chinese general-purpose test and measurement equipment markets, especially segments such as oscilloscopes, signal and arbitrary waveform generators (AWG), and function generators. The proliferation of electronic devices and the growing replacement of mechanical systems with electronic ones have also helped to expand the scope of test equipment. "With the emergence of numerous high-potential competing technologies within the communications industry, manufacturers of communications equipment as well as network or service providers are showing increasing interest for test and measurement equipment," says the analyst of this research service. "In addition, increasing investments in the aerospace, military, and defense industries are enhancing opportunities in homeland security, radar communications networks, and aircraft and fighter planes."

Despite the increasing revenue potential, market participants face many challenges. End users are demanding test sets with more sophisticated capabilities at lower prices. Hence, the increasing price pressure is forcing vendors, particularly those of mid- and low-end products, to reduce their profit margins. In order to overcome this challenge, manufacturers need to consider reworking their strategies to focus more on product innovation and customer care, as well as enhance their product portfolios to cover more profitable segments.

Increasing New Applications Expand Markets for Test & Measurement Equipment

Technological innovations in wireless and other electronic products in terms of speed, accuracy, features, and capabilities are also boosting the demand for high-end test measurement products. "Emerging applications in areas such as satellite-based personal networks, home automation, and wireless local area networks (WLAN) are presenting new opportunities to general purpose test and measurement equipment manufacturers," notes the analyst.

Growth prospects are also stemming from increasing preference for multifunctional and PC-based testing instruments, apart from traditional stand-alone equipment. Constantly evolving mobile communications standards, expansion of microwave links, and satellite-based communications are stimulating the growth of the test equipment markets due to tighter controls on factors influencing cross talk measurements. However, frequently changing specifications in the communications industry require manufacturers to redesign their test equipment. Adopting cost-efficient research and development can enable manufacturers to cope with the high costs of investment. They can further optimize their returns by leveraging the demand for automation of test equipment in telecom and semiconductor testing, data acquisition, and electronics functional application testing.
