3473 million yuan, accounting for 8%
of the total procurement.
In comparison, the number and amount of university procurement are relatively large
.
On the list for the 12-month period of 2022, universities are on the list, and the overall procurement market is steadily rising
.
This data is also closely related
to the intensive scientific research tasks of universities at this stage and the subsidized interest loan policy in the second half of the year.
It is worth mentioning that although the number of chromatography purchases of quality inspection institutions is less than the number of chromatography purchases of universities, the total amount of procurement is higher, which indicates that the demand for high-precision instruments is greater
.
As a viable force of market supervision, quality inspection institutions focus on frontier markets and undertake the important task
of testing and inspection in various fields.
From the perspective of chromatographic winning brands: In terms of quantity, 48 brands compete in the market
.
Shimadzu, Agilent, and Thermo Fisher Scientific are among the top three
in the list.
Among them, Shimadzu occupied the first
place with 99 sets of winning chromatography.
Among them, 46 companies purchased Shimadzu, mainly LC-20ADXR high performance liquid chromatograph, GC-2030 gas chromatograph, and 1NexisGC-2030 gas chromatography
.
The number of chromatographic bids of Agilent and Thermo Scientific was 94 and 65 sets
respectively.
From the overall trend of the top four brand instruments in the number of winning bids, Agilent occupied the first place in the chromatography instruments in March, April, August, September and December, Waters and Shimadzu occupied the top spot in January, May, June, July and November respectively, and Thermo Fisher Scientific dominated the list
in only 2 months.
Compared with Shimadzu, which was more vigorous and undulating in the second half of the year, Agilent has maintained a steady increase in the number and amount of winning bids since the beginning of 2022
.
From the perspective of the winning bid amount, Agilent's total winning bid amount reached 57.
7583 million yuan, accounting for 27% of the winning bid amount, ranking first
.

2377 million yuan and 42.
7148 million yuan respectively, accounting for 21% and 20%
respectively.
It is worth mentioning that domestic instruments have emerged, instrument brands have gathered, and the number of winning bids and the amount of winning bids have been increased to varying degrees, squeezing out a certain chromatographic market share
.
In 2022, 35 domestic chromatography brands won bids, with a total of 105 sets of bids, and domestic brands Yili won a total of 22 bids, ranking fifth
with a total bid amount of 417.
38.
However, on the whole, compared with imported chromatography instrument brands, the competitiveness of domestic instrument brands is still insufficient, which is concentrated in the large number of winning bids, but the winning amount is small, and the value of a single instrument is not high
.
According to incomplete statistics of chemical instrument network, imported chromatography brands won a total of 318 sets of bids, 183.
851137 million yuan
.
In addition, the top five in the total amount of chromatography bids are all imported instrument brands
.
It is not difficult to see that the current focus of domestic instrument development is still from low-end instruments to high-precision instrument manufacturing, to make up for the lack of high-end instrument research and development strength of core functions, product functions have not yet been perfected, and solve the dilemma that the large-area chromatography market is still occupied by imported instruments
.
