Things perceived as the front part, the sensor in the process of development of things play a pivotal role. China Electronic Components Industry Association sensitive components and sensors branch of published data show that China's sensor market to maintain sustained growth, growth rate of more than 15%. The next five years, the average sales growth of domestic sensor market will reach 31%. It is fit the rhythm of development of things. 
Things to bring new opportunities 
Low-carbon economy has become a hot topic in the current community, the global rise of the third industrial revolution will target low-carbon economy and the networking industry, the world economy showing green, wireless networking, and health and safety of the three big hair trend transfer . Green low-carbon economy is the core of the wireless network is to make the existing Internet, radio and television networks, communication networks towards "things" basis, health and safety of low-carbon and networking to achieve the fundamental purpose. 
Recently, by the China Electronic Components Industry Association sensitive components and sensors branch in Wuhan, Hubei's "Internet of Things and Sensor Industry Development Forum 2011 Annual Meeting", delegates agreed that things have become a big global hot spots environment, the sensor enterprises must seize this opportunity to adjust the product structure, tracking cutting-edge technology, especially the use of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technologies such as new sensors. 
By the Zhongguancun Industry Alliance, the Great Wall strategic consulting jointly issued the "Internet of Things Industry Development Research (2010)," The report predicts that China will become the networking industry one trillion yuan level of the emerging industry. Therefore, things will have very broad prospects for development. The sensor is constituted on the basis of things detection terminal, as an important development of networking technology, sensor technology naturally become the focus of the market. 
Dalian University of Technology Professor Tang Zhenan that the sensor industry networking opportunities in the following areas: Internet of Things is a new factor in promoting economic growth, the next few decades, networking technology will promote the development of various industries for national economy development of one trillion yuan level related equipment manufacturing, operations, services industries. Electronic products in the share of modern industrial products is growing, to the end of 2010, has reached 53%. Things is the second after the industrial modernization, once again pushing sensitive components and sensors industry development opportunities. 
"Things on the sensor industry challenge is the sensor needs more variety of products to meet the measurement requirements of all things; sensor integration, to meet the detection, treatment, transmission system integrated requirements; sensor network and low power consumption characteristics, to create green electronics, support low-carbon environmental application requirements. "Tang Zhen said Ann. 
CLP element analysis of China Association Secretary Wen Xueli things said after the development of the situation with the sensor, networking is not just a technological innovation, it is also a system of practice and business model innovation, enterprises should seize this wave, the need more open, more pragmatic and more collaboration to promote. 
Gradually narrowing the gap with foreign countries 
China Electronic Components Industry Association sensitive components and sensors branch Guo Meng Secretary-General said that the current from the government to the whole industry right things and sensors attached great importance, in July 2011, China Electronic Components Industry Association recently released " electronics industry, "second five" plan "is particularly applicable to the networking industry will be intelligent, networked sensors, and environmental monitoring, security monitoring sensors and other products included in the list of key development. In the national policy to actively guide and support, our sensor technology and industry has made ​​remarkable achievements, research in sensor technology is gradually narrowing the gap with foreign countries, a number of new sensors based on MEMS technology is entering the market at all continue to broaden the field of application, design, material control, manufacturing technology, reliability techniques and testing technology development, production capacity gradually increase; conventional sensors, such as mechanical sensors, gas sensors, temperature sensors, optical sensors, voltage-sensitive sensors, production and sales situation steadily, not only in the domestic market share gradually increased, but also to meet some of the needs of foreign markets. 
However, China's sensor industry and technical research still lags behind the international advanced level, especially in the field of new sensors. Guo Meng said the micro-nano sensor is a new sensor industry representatives on micro and nano sensors, the United States, European Union, Japan and other countries have formed a stable R & D team, design team, product processing enterprises and user groups, based on their MEMS technology has been developed to the stage of mature and stable. Pressure sensors, inertial sensors, acceleration sensors, humidity sensors, chemical sensors, wireless sensor networks not only meet national security, national economic needs in the area, and is extended to expand the field of consumer products, all kinds of products according to the market demand for mass production. 
To strengthen the development of new sensors present, China is in the sensor industry from the traditional model to a critical stage of development of new sensors, new sensors are based on MEMS technology, new materials, microelectronics and related disciplines technology. Product features are integrated, intelligent, miniaturization, networking, multi-functional and low-cost, technology, excellent performance, high reliability. New sensors including low-carbon economy, networking and other new strategic industries application temperature, humidity, optical, infrared, chemical, magnetic and acoustic and other sensors. 
China Electronics Technology Group Corporation No. 49 Research Institute researcher Zhang Hongquan representation, MEMS internationally recognized as the 21st century's most promising emerging industries, should be received strong support. Government funding should change the "less wide" mode, the range of choice in the whole society leading technology companies to be key support. Achieve MEMS industrialization, the government should take the initiative to create "MEMS startups - public R & D platform - foundries - packaging factory," the whole industry chain globally rather than split planning model that allows all aspects of the industry chain enterprises at an early stage through government push to establish strategic cooperative relations. 
Guo Meng pointed out that the future should be based on market demand sensor industry, both to strengthen the development of new sensors, but also do a good job upgrading the quality of conventional sensors and output growth; product variety tilted towards investment class, especially to fill "gaps" variety, which various categories and species of the sensor right proportion, forming a kind of "inter-face, distance combination of variety, to meet the demand," the new product structure. 
For mass production of sensor companies, Guo Meng said that the practice of large-scale production techniques that produce the benefits of economies of scale. As the market demand for various types of sensors are not the same, so the production economies of scale are not the same. Taking into account future use of advanced production technology and market expansion, wide range of large-scale production of universal sensor will be an annual one hundred million dollars some mid-range sensors will be an annual production scale of 10 million (including the above) count; Some high-end sensors and special sensors will be an annual production scale of a few hundred thousand to several one million meter. Achieve economies of scale production, you can minimize the cost of production in order to achieve the commercialization of low-cost sensors. 
Industry experts believe that, in addition to the scale of production, the sensor production patterns should also provide professional development, professional production of meaning is: the production of sensors categories concise; specializes in the production of a certain category of applications require sensors to obtain more products high market share; each sensor specialization of enterprises co-production (such as materials, components, chips, assembly; chip, shell and base, assembly co-production), thus effectively avoiding internal "large" to improve Sensors economic efficiency of enterprises.
