China's load cell industry has been in business for more than 50 years since its inception in the 1960s. Along with China's economic development, the weighing sensor industry has made great progress and made great contributions to China's measurement modernization. At the same time, a large number of backbone sensor manufacturers such as Changzhou Toledo, Ningbo Keli and Changzhou Hento emerged. Formed the current development pattern of China's load cell industry. In the face of the turbulent domestic and international markets and the ever-changing Chinese economy, the development of China's load cells still has very serious problems.

How big is the sensor market? Yang Xueshan, former deputy director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in 2013, there were more than 6,500 manufacturers and companies engaged in the development of sensitive components and sensors, with annual sales of about 120 billion US dollars, with an average annual growth rate of 15%. Military applications account for about 62%.

However, in China, the sensor industry also has problems such as low level, weak R&D strength, small scale, and low industrial concentration. Although China's sensor sales will exceed 130 billion yuan in 2015, at present, most of China's sensor applications rely on foreign manufacturers, especially high-end demand is heavily dependent on imports, sensor imports account for about 80%, and sensor chip imports account for up to About 90%, the localization gap is huge. Sensing technology and products have become the bottleneck restricting the development of intelligent manufacturing industries, and it is urgent to improve the technical level and scale development of the sensor industry.

Weighing sensors have long penetrated into a wide range of fields such as industrial production, space development, marine exploration, environmental protection, resource surveys, medical diagnostics, bioengineering, and even cultural relics protection. It seems that load cells will be in this intelligent production. The industry has a bright future.
