Regarding the model, since the main businesses of each company are different, there are differences in sales models and regions. From the sales model point of view, Hanwei Electronics, Cubic Sensor and Instrument, Senba Sensing Technology, Olive Sensors High-Tech, and Audiowell are all based on direct sales, and some companies adopt a sales model that is mainly distributed and supplemented by direct sales. From the sales region point of view, Baolong Technology has a larger overseas sales scale, Cubic Sensor and Instrument, Hanwei Technology, Senba Sensing, Memsensing Microsystems, Olive Sensor, and Raytron Technology are mainly sold domestically, and Audiwell's domestic and overseas sales scales are comparable. In terms of R&D, the domestic sensor industry is deeply engaged in its own subdivisions, and the R&D investment of various companies is on the rise as a whole.
Compared with developed countries such as United States, Japan and Germany, China's sensors started relatively late, with a wide range of research and high technical barriers, and belong to a multidisciplinary and multi-field research field. With the acceleration of the Internet of Things era, the technological development of the sensor industry has shown a trend of digitalization, intelligence, miniaturization and integration, and the importance of domestic substitution demand is becoming increasingly prominent. In the field of automotive electronics, the main domestic on-board sensor manufacturers include Baolong Technology, Olive Sensors and Audiwell, these three companies mainly focus on the miniaturization, intelligence and lightweight of sensors as the main research and development direction, and will reduce costs and reduce power consumption while improving the accuracy and reliability of products as the key goal of research and development.
Figure: Domestic sensor industries are deepening their respective niche areas
In the field of gas sensors, major domestic manufacturers include Hanwei Technology and Cubic Sensor and Instrument. As a leading enterprise in gas sensors, Hanwei Technology is committed to building an instrument technology platform covering the design and manufacturing of machinery, electronics, optics, software, etc., while maintaining the leading gas sensor technology, and continues to promote the research and development and market launch of multiple types of sensors and a variety of industrial safety and environmental monitoring instruments. In addition, the company will also penetrate sensors and instrumentation into the downstream application fields of the Internet of Things, and is expected to build a complete Internet of Things technology platform of "sensor + monitoring terminal + data acquisition + spatial information technology + cloud application" with high quality in the future.
In the field of optical sensors, major domestic manufacturers include Raytron Technology and Senba Sensing. Raytron Technology focuses on the field of infrared imaging and infrared detection, and has invested a lot of R&D efforts to promote the application of infrared sensor technology in various fields, and is committed to the R&D and manufacturing of MEMS infrared chips. Senba Sensing takes the research and development of intelligent sensors as the key development direction, and is committed to promoting the innovation of key materials, supporting the research and development of new intelligent sensors with MEMS and CMOS integration processes, and promoting the development of intelligent sensors with high precision, high reliability, low power consumption and low cost.
In the field of MEMS sensors, the main domestic manufacturers are Memsensing Microsystems. and Raytron Technology. Memsensing Microsystems not only vigorously develops MEMS microphones, MEMS pressure sensors and MEMS inertial sensors, but also conforms to the market development trend and lays out the field of MEMS microfluidic chips and MEMS optical sensors according to market demand.
In the future, with the deep integration of high-tech such as AI, 5G and the Internet of Things, smart sensors will be more widely used, penetrating into many different fields such as medical, home furnishing, and logistics, and promoting the further development of China's smart sensor industry chain. At the same time, the support of national policies and the continuous progress of industrial technology will provide a strong guarantee for the healthy development of China's intelligent sensor industry chain.
