The gas sensor has doubled and its market share has increased rapidly.
(1) the gas sensor has a wide coverage and the brand influence continues to improve. The company’s products have covered the fields of air quality, environmental monitoring, industrial process, safety monitoring, medical and health care, intelligent measurement and so on, and have formed a product portfolio of initial scale; It has been matched with Philips, Daikin, Panasonic, Midea, Gree, Haier, Hisense, Xiaomi, TCL, Kingclean Electric Co.Ltd(603355) , Jiangsu Yuyue Medical Equipment And Supply Co.Ltd(002223) , Jaguar Land Rover, Valeo, Mahler, Bosch, FAW Volkswagen, FAW Hongqi, Changan Ford, great wall, Hezhong new energy and other well-known brands at home and abroad. In 2021, the company’s gas sensor revenue reached 486 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 103.67%, and the gross profit margin was 50.56%, with a year-on-year increase of 7.59pct.
(2) air quality gas sensors continue to grow at a high speed. With intelligence and energy conservation becoming the main consumption trend and the gradual implementation of the dual carbon policy, the concentration of the downstream household appliance industry has increased. By taking the composite air quality sensor as the standard configuration and superimposing the advantages of quality, brand and large-scale delivery, the company has continuously increased its market share in the fields of environmental appliances and clean appliances. In 2021, the company’s air quality gas sensor revenue reached 422 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 107.19%, and the gross profit margin was 49.14%, with a year-on-year increase of 9.19 PCT; Among them, CO2 gas sensor and dust sensor, as core products, increased by 256.78% and 61.81% respectively year-on-year.
(3) extend the product line of medical and health gas sensors to form an overall solution. The company’s main products include ultrasonic oxygen sensor, ultrasonic oxygen concentration and flow sensor (which can replace the traditional zirconia sensor), NDIR medical ETCO2 sensor, DLCO gas sensor and lung function measurement equipment, which are mainly used in the fields of ventilator, oxygen generator, high flow oxygen therapy instrument, anesthesia machine, monitor, diffuse lung function instrument, cardiopulmonary analyzer and sectorau diffuse oxygen concentration monitoring, Form a relatively perfect medical and health gas sensor solution. In 2021, the company’s revenue from medical and health gas sensors reached 525529 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 128.70% and a gross profit margin of 62.79%.
(4) the on-board sensor product line is constantly enriched, entering the mass production period from the output period. The gas sensor product line of automobile comfort system extends from vehicle air quality sensor to vehicle air quality improvement device, from monitoring CO2, dust, formaldehyde and VOC to anion, plasma and fragrance generator, and further improves the contribution of single vehicle value and industry threshold through functional integration; The field of vehicle safety includes refrigerant leakage monitoring sensor, new energy vehicle power battery thermal runaway sensor, etc. By the end of 2021, the company has obtained about 10 million fixed-point sensors for the on-board sensor project. The gas sensor in the field of automotive comfort system has entered the production period, and continues to expand the field of on-board safety, especially the market development of thermal runaway sensor of power battery of new energy vehicles. In 2021, the company’s on-board sensors were applied in the field of automotive comfort system and on-board safety, and the sales revenue increased by 139.94% year-on-year.
The double carbon policy drives the demand for gas analysis instruments, and ultrasonic gas meters are expected to grow rapidly.
(1) the implementation of the “14th five year plan” double carbon policy was accelerated to drive the demand for carbon emission monitoring. With the in-depth implementation of carbon neutralization policy, the market demand for corresponding online gas analysis instruments will be released. The company has a good technical and industrial foundation in the field of carbon emission monitoring. It began to engage in carbon measurement business as early as 2012.
