July 2026 Industry Update: Dalian Hosts Two Major Events, New Nameplate Regulation Takes Effect in September
July 2026 marks a period of significant activity and regulatory updates for the petrochemical analysis testing and instrumentation industry. As a professional manufacturer with over four decades of experience in petroleum analysis instruments, Dalian Analytical Instrument Factory remains committed to staying at the forefront of industry developments, driving both technological innovation and regulatory compliance to deliver high-quality petroleum product analysis and testing solutions to customers worldwide.
I. Dalian Hosts Two Major Industry Events Focused on Intelligent Upgrading of Petrochemical Testing
From July 9 to 11, the 2026 China (Liaoning · Dalian) International Measurement Control and Instrumentation Exhibition was held at the Dalian World Expo Center. Themed "Precision Measurement & Control · Digital Intelligence Empowerment," the exhibition focused on industry pain points and development needs, creating a benchmark event that integrates technology showcasing, business matching, and academic exchange.
Held concurrently from July 9 to 11 in Dalian, the 2026 Petrochemical Industry Analytical Testing and Instrumentation Technology Exchange Conference (Liaoning Station) took place. Moving beyond product promotion, the conference emphasised practical case studies, operational condition adaptation, and technology implementation. In-depth discussions were conducted on topics including major/trace element analysis in petrochemical materials, oil product elemental analysis, and contaminant analysis, with the goal of advancing intelligent upgrading across the petrochemical testing industry alongside industry peers.
The convergence of these two major events in Dalian underscores the city's strategic position as a hub for China's petrochemical analytical instrumentation industry.
II. Industry Standard Update: New Nameplate Regulation Takes Effect in September – Compliance Upgrades Imminent
On the regulatory front, the industry is facing an important update. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued "Nameplates for Petroleum Product Testing Instruments" (JB/T 11940-2026) on February 13, 2026. The new standard will take effect on September 1, 2026, fully replacing the previous version JB/T 11940-2014.
Drafted by the National Centre for Quality Inspection and Testing of Petroleum Products (Shenyang) , Liaoning Provincial Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute , and other organisations, the new standard specifies the technical requirements, quality requirements, and performance requirements for nameplates used on petroleum product testing instruments, and describes corresponding test methods. The standard applies to the manufacturing of nameplates used on petroleum product testing instruments.
This standard update directly concerns equipment identification compliance. Relevant enterprises should monitor these regulatory changes and prepare for product nameplate compliance in advance.
III. Positive Market Trends: Global Oil Analysis Equipment Market Sees Steady Growth
At the market level, the global oil analysis and testing equipment industry is maintaining solid growth momentum. Industry research data indicates that the global market size for oil analysis and testing equipment reached approximately USD 499 million in 2025, with projections reaching USD 671 million by 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2026 to 2032. According to separate research institutions, the global petroleum testing and analysis equipment market was valued at approximately USD 511 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 681 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 4.3%.
Meanwhile, the replacement of imported instruments with domestically manufactured analytical equipment is accelerating. Industry analysis indicates that domestic petroleum analysis instruments have established competitive advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, compliance with Chinese national standards, and localised after-sales service, with full automation and IoT integration emerging as the next major trend. Domestic manufacturers are increasingly focusing on key areas such as high-end sensors, precision optical components, and core algorithms, gradually breaking the monopoly of international giants in the high-end analytical instrument market through independent R&D.
