A gas analyzer is an instrument that analyzes a mixture of gases to measure the physical and physiochemical properties of the gas mixture. It is also used to detect the gas composites and monitor the level of each gas in the gas mixture. Gas analyzers can be categorized into two types: online and offline gas analyzers. Online gas analyzers provide faster and cheaper analysis and outputs than offline gas analyzers. Online gas analyzers are widely used for environment monitoring applications to monitor the greenhouse gases and other pollutants from manufacturing plants.China is one of the key leading countries in the Global Online Gas Analyzer market. The market is growing faster in China than in many developed and developing countries because of the emergence of various process manufacturing industries in China. The Online Gas Analyzer market in China is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.81 percent during the period 2012–2016.

Scientific instruments provide an efficient, accurate, easy and cost-effective method for measuring quality-related parameters. There are several types of scientific instruments such as automotive instruments, electricity instruments, special purpose instruments, navigational, meteorological and marine instruments, environmental control instruments, and geological prospecting and earthquake instruments. These instruments are adopted by companies across the industries for applications such as superior product development and to take the necessary operational measures based on the findings of the scientific instruments. Furthermore, scientific instruments from China are exported to countries across the globe as they are more cost-effective than the scientific instruments available in other countries.The Scientific Instrument market in China is one of the steadily growing Engineering markets in China because of the increasing adoption of scientific instruments across China. East China dominates the Scientific Instrument market in China and it is followed by Middle-south China.Overall, the market is expected to witness an improvement in its growth rate and post a CAGR of 10.89 percent during the period 2011–2015.
