CNThe rise of domestic brands in the automatic control industry
With the acceleration of intelligent upgrades of domestic industrial manufacturing and commercial buildings, the market demand for automatic control systems continues to grow. According to the "2025 China Automation Industry Development Report", the market share of domestic automatic control brands has reached 47.2% in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 6.8 percentage points. The trend of domestic substitution is very obvious. In the high-end self-control market that was monopolized by international giants in the past, more and more domestic powerful manufacturers are emerging, relying on localized services, customization capabilities and higher quality-to-price ratios to seize market share.
1. The core logic of domestic substitution in the automatic control industry
In the past, the domestic high-end automatic control market has long been occupied by international brands such as Honeywell, Siemens, and Johnson. The technical strength of these brands is indeed outstanding, but the pain points of high prices, slow delivery, and untimely service response are also very obvious, especially in recent years. The international supply chain is unstable, and many projects have been delayed due to delayed delivery of imported hardware, causing great losses to purchasers.
The core of the rise of domestic self-control brands is to seize three advantages: first, the advantage of localized services, whereby domestic manufacturers can quickly respond to customers 'customized needs, and service teams can quickly arrive to solve problems; second, the advantage of supply chain, and the core hardware is gradually realized. Domestic substitution is achieved, and the delivery cycle is much shorter than that of international brands; The third is cost advantage. The overall cost of projects with the same configuration is 30%-50% lower than that of international brands. It is very attractive to customers who increasingly value the input-output ratio.
Of course, domestic substitution is not a simple price war, but an overall improvement of technical strength and service capabilities. Nowadays, the technical level of many domestic manufacturers has reached more than 90% of that of international first-line brands, which can fully meet the needs of most scenarios, and even achieve overtaking in some fields.
