In the first three quarters, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 5.3% year-on-year, and the contribution rate of industry to economic growth remained at around 35%. On the afternoon of October 20, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. Wang Weiming, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and others introduced the relevant situation.
The added value of high-tech manufacturing above designated size increased by 14.3% year-on-year
"In the first three quarters, the industry's growth rate exceeded 3/4, and the average growth rate in the 10 major industrial provinces was about 7%. The PPI (industrial producer price index) has increased year-on-year for seven consecutive months." Tao Qing, spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau, said.
The industrial structure is moving towards innovation and optimization, with key industries driving strong momentum. In the first three quarters, the added value of high-tech manufacturing above designated size increased by 14.3% year-on-year. The added value of equipment manufacturing industry accounted for 0.8 percentage points higher than the end of the previous year. The export value of mechanical and electrical products and high-tech products priced in RMB accounted for the total export value, which increased by 3.8 percentage points and 4.9 percentage points respectively compared with the same period last year. Industries such as electronics, automobiles, electrical machinery, general equipment, special equipment, and shipbuilding and offshore engineering equipment are growing rapidly, contributing more than 60% to the growth of above-scale industries.
Advanced manufacturing has become deeper and more solid, and new scenarios and formats have continued to expand. The construction of smart factories has been accelerated, and a total of more than 13,000 advanced smart factories and more than 500 outstanding smart factories have been built. Domestic computing power and large-scale model adaptation capabilities continue to increase, forming more than 1,000 application scenarios in 20 industries such as steel, automobiles, and medicine, and selecting and promoting more than 100 industrial intelligences that embody the experience of "old masters." The development of green manufacturing has accelerated, with a total of 8,336 national green factories cultivated, and the energy consumption of added value of industrial units above designated size continues to decline. Smart terminals such as artificial intelligence glasses and artificial intelligence mobile phones continue to emerge, and the intelligent consumer equipment industry has achieved rapid growth.
"We will focus on expanding effective demand, building an innovation engine, cultivating growth momentum, optimizing the development environment, and continuously improving the quality and efficiency of industrial economic operations." Tao Qing said.
Enhanced high-end equipment supply capabilities
In the first three quarters, the equipment industry maintained a positive development trend and continued to improve quality and efficiency.
The scale is "stable" and the "ballast stone" role of the equipment industry continues to be consolidated. In the first three quarters, the added value of the equipment industry increased by 7.1% year-on-year, contributing 26.6% to industrial growth. The supply capacity of high-end equipment has been enhanced, and the output of industrial robots, CNC machine tools, and new energy vehicles increased by 29.1%, 13.5%, and 11% respectively year-on-year. The national shipbuilding completion volume increased by 50.7% year-on-year.
The products are “new” and innovative products are highlighted. Intelligent robots transform into shop assistants to make coffee and sell goods, and artificial intelligence is accelerating its implementation in people's livelihood scenarios; the second domestically produced large-scale cruise ship "Aida Huacheng" is about to be completed and delivered; the world's largest 271,000 cubic meter LNG (liquefied natural gas) ship has started construction in my country.
Manufacturing "intelligence" accelerates the reconstruction of production models. The "artificial intelligence + manufacturing" special action has been implemented in depth; companies have accelerated their exploration of future manufacturing models such as shared manufacturing of engineering machinery, automobile island manufacturing, and agile customization of home appliances.
Wang Weiming said that it will promote technological transformation and equipment updating in key industries, release existing market potential, expand services and applications such as special robots, elderly care and rehabilitation equipment, ice and snow equipment, and new energy ships on inland rivers, and actively cultivate new demands.
Increase support for advanced manufacturing clusters
"Advanced manufacturing clusters are an important carrier for building a strong manufacturing country and an important starting point for improving the overall competitiveness of the modern industrial system." Wang Weiming said that my country's cluster development presents four distinctive characteristics.
Wide coverage. 80 national advanced manufacturing clusters have taken root in 26 provincial-level administrative regions, covering high-end equipment, new generation information technology, new materials, intelligent networked new energy vehicles and other fields, achieving full-scale connectivity of key manufacturing industry chains, forming an industrial layout with clear echelons and dislocation coordination.
Strong innovation. The cluster gathers more than 1,700 national-level innovation carriers and more than 3,000 public service platforms, becoming a "strong magnetic field" for manufacturing innovation sources.
Transformation is fast. The cluster anchors in-depth breakthroughs in the direction of intelligence, greening, and integration, and has generally built industry-level industrial Internet platforms. A total of 1,716 national green factories have been cultivated. Production processes have been reconstructed with digital intelligence technology, and processes have been upgraded with green and low-carbon technologies, driving a significant increase in total factor productivity.
Ecologically excellent. The innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain, and talent chain are deeply coupled, reshaping the organizational form of the manufacturing industry. It can be said that behind a ship, an airplane, or a vehicle, there is no longer a single enterprise working alone, but the efficient collaboration of an industrial chain, the close linkage of an innovation network, and the joint support of a set of industrial ecology.
"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will implement policies at different levels to guide advanced manufacturing clusters to deepen cross-regional resource sharing, cross-field technology integration, and integrated development of upstream and downstream industrial chains." Wang Weiming said that support for advanced manufacturing clusters will be increased from the aspects of innovation platform layout, high-end talent introduction, and factor resource guarantee, and promote the cluster's leap from physical agglomeration to core competency system integration.
