There is a strong demand for automation control in process industry, and there is a wide space for import substitution
On the one hand, the 14th five year plan for the integrated development of informatization and industrialization proposes to continue to promote the digital transformation of the industry and promote the integration of production control in petrochemical, chemical, energy and other major process industries. According to the statistics of the integration service platform of the Ministry of industry and information technology, the readiness rate of enterprise intelligent manufacturing in the fourth quarter of 2021 was only 11.3%. Therefore, there is a strong demand for automation transformation in petrochemical, chemical, electric power and other process industries. On the other hand, the supply capacity of Chinese enterprises in the automation instrument industry is limited, the medium and high-end market is dominated by large foreign enterprises, and there is a huge space for domestic substitution. Zhejiang Supcon Technology Co.Ltd(688777) is a high-quality target with the attributes of industrial software, domestic substitution, intelligent manufacturing and scientific and technological innovation. It has three major premiums: the certainty of leading product competitiveness, the scarcity of the only one in the Chinese market, and the high prosperity of downstream petrochemical and chemical industries, electric power and other industries. In the long run, it has great growth space
