Overview and current situation analysis of environmental monitoring instrument industry in 2026

In recent years, with the rapid economic and social development, environmental problems have become increasingly prominent,PM20, PM2.5, greenhouse effect and other special terms in the field of environmental protection have become the focus of attention of countries and people all over the world. Environmental monitoring has played an important technical support role in key environmental protection work such as pollution reduction, pollution source survey, soil survey, macro strategic research, and water special projects. For more details, the following is an overview and analysis of the current situation of the environmental monitoring instrument industry in 2026:
According to 《2026-2022 China Environmental Monitoring Instrument Industry Market Operation and Industry Development Trend Research Report shows that China's environmental monitoring work is in a stage of rapid development, and the environmental online monitoring system is still in the stage of large-scale construction, and the coverage will continue to expand. According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are about 200 enterprises engaged in environmental monitoring business in China, and most of them are engaged in the development, production, installation and operation of online automatic monitoring systems such as waste gas, waste water, ambient air and surface water (including integrators). Among them, about 220 enterprises produce waste gas online monitoring systems, and about 80 enterprises produce waste water online monitoring systems. The sales revenue of the environmental monitoring instrument industry increased year by year, from 2.584 billion yuan in 2005 to 29.644 billion yuan in 2024.

Overview of 1. Environmental Monitoring Instruments

Environmental monitoring is based on the environment as the object, using physical, chemical and biological technical means, the pollutants and their related components of the qualitative, quantitative and systematic comprehensive analysis, in order to explore the change law of environmental quality. Its task is to identify and test the composition of pollutants in environmental samples, and to study the nature, composition and structure of environmental quality in a certain historical period and in a certain space. The main contents include: atmospheric environmental monitoring, water environmental monitoring, soil environmental monitoring, solid waste monitoring, environmental biological monitoring, environmental radioactivity monitoring and environmental noise monitoring.
At present, my country has formed a government environmental monitoring network, including surface water monitoring sections (points) covering major water bodies across the country and a surface water environmental quality monitoring network composed of automatic water quality monitoring stations; key environmental protection cities have established automatic air monitoring stations and acid rain monitoring points The sandstorm monitoring station forms an environmental air quality monitoring network; a pollution source monitoring network combining manual monitoring and automatic monitoring; at the same time, an environmental monitoring network has also been established in my country's coastal waters. In order to promote the scientific development of environmental monitoring, it is necessary to further strengthen the basic, strategic and forward-looking position of environmental monitoring in environmental protection, vigorously recommend the standardization and modernization of environmental monitoring, and explore the establishment of a game of environmental monitoring management to go to the country and the monitoring team. A modern environmental monitoring pattern with one-stop and monitoring network integration of heaven and earth.
Environmental monitoring mainly includes water quality monitoring, atmospheric monitoring, and monitoring of other indicators; monitoring in the solid waste treatment industry is also basically monitoring the leachate, odor, incineration tail gas, etc. generated in the process; other indicators, mainly refers to the target mass, volume, temperature, etc. in each link. These indicators are combined to monitor all aspects of the environmental protection industry.

2, the state to promote environmental supervision work, to monitor the market to bring incremental

This year, the state has strengthened the supervision of the environment, including the monitoring of water environment and air quality, as well as the supervision of enterprises. Up to now, more than 2700 monitoring stations at all levels have been established nationwide, with nearly 60000 monitoring personnel and 268000 monitoring instruments (sets); 338 cities at prefecture level and above have released 6 pollutant concentrations and ambient air quality indexes of 2436 automatic ambient air stations in real time.
2. Monitoring personnel
Environmental monitoring personnel are weak, lack of top-notch talents, scientific research ability is not strong, and the quality of the team does not adapt to the urgent situation and heavy tasks. Limited by the staffing of public institutions, the introduction, management and training of environmental monitoring talents lack effective incentive and competition mechanism. In recent years, although some college graduates majoring in environmental protection are facing employment, most 2. tertiary stations are unable to recruit fresh college graduates due to their full or overstaffed establishment, resulting in a shortage of monitoring personnel and an extremely unreasonable age structure. In addition, there is a shortage of compound middle and senior talents in monitoring stations, and monitoring personnel are often unable to do what they want in terms of standard formulation, special subject research and operation of advanced instruments and equipment.
3, environmental monitoring capacity is relatively lagging behind.
2) Falling behind.environmental monitoring instrumentThe main products are various water pollution and air pollution monitoring, noise and vibration monitoring, radioactive and electromagnetic wave monitoring instruments. In recent years, China's environmental monitoring instruments have been greatly developed, such as soot sampler, flue gas sampler, total suspended particulate sampler, oil analyzer, sewage flowmeter and other environmental monitoring instruments have approached or reached the international advanced level, occupying a large proportion in the domestic market. However, the automatic control technology of monitoring instruments such as atomic absorption, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and gas chromatograph used in domestic large-scale laboratories is relatively low, and the key components still rely on imports. Most of the environmental monitoring equipment production enterprises in China are small in scale, low in technical content, and their products are basically of medium and low grade, which are far from being able to meet the new requirements of the development of environmental monitoring in China. At the same time, there are also low-level, repeated production; unstable performance, poor consistency; short service life, high failure rate; low self-research and development capabilities; supporting low production capacity and other defects.
4, environmental monitoring quality control is not perfect.
The quality of environmental monitoring needs to be improved. Environmental monitoring stations at all levels generally attach importance to the internal quality control of the laboratory and neglect the quality management of the whole process of environmental monitoring. The supervision and management of monitoring quality is not enough, and the self-restraint ability and external supervision mechanism need to be improved. The quality system cannot be operated effectively.
5. Monitoring technical standards and methods need to be improved
Since the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the workload of grass-roots environmental monitoring departments is increasing. Although many monitoring methods used in the past are simple, the data obtained are not accurate. The use of original monitoring equipment and monitoring methods can no longer meet the needs of environmental development. Improving monitoring methods has become a trend. National environmental quality standards and emission standards also have some limitations, and the monitored items cannot fully reflect the environmental quality status. The existing national standard analysis method has some defects, when the concentration level of the sample is different, the matrix is different, there are great differences. In addition, due to the limitation of the development and development level of instruments and equipment, some pollutants still lack standard analysis methods, and it is necessary to develop qualitative, quantitative, accurate and rapid analysis methods.
