At the beginning of 2022, major projects in many places have been started intensively, and advanced manufacturing industry has become an important driving force.
For example, in January, major projects in Wuhan started intensively in the first quarter, and the investment in advanced manufacturing accounted for nearly a quarter; In February, 48 major industrial projects in Guangzhou Development Zone were started, including 39 advanced manufacturing projects.
Manufacturing industry is the main body of the real economy, and advanced manufacturing industry is an important support for industrial energy level and core competitiveness. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the national and local levels accelerated the introduction of supporting policies to encourage the development of advanced manufacturing industry, and the construction and development of advanced manufacturing clusters in all localities will be comprehensively accelerated.
what are the top ten cities in advanced manufacturing
At present, China’s advanced manufacturing industry is roughly composed of two parts. One part is that the traditional manufacturing industry is upgraded to advanced manufacturing industry after absorbing and integrating advanced manufacturing technology and other high and new technologies, especially information technology, such as CNC machine tools, marine engineering equipment, aerospace equipment, aviation equipment, etc; The other part is Shenzhen New Industries Biomedical Engineering Co.Ltd(300832) formed after the industrialization of emerging technological achievements, with basic and leading industries, such as incremental manufacturing, biological manufacturing, micro nano manufacturing, etc.
In November 2021, the intelligent equipment industry research center of CCID Consulting Co., Ltd. conducted systematic research and comprehensive evaluation on the development of advanced manufacturing industry in 293 prefecture level cities in China, and issued the top 100 cities of CCID Consulting advanced manufacturing industry (2021). The top 10 are Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Qingdao, Wuhan, Chengdu and Changsha.
The evaluation system of the list includes five dimensions: innovation ability, integrated development, economic driving, brand quality and green intensification, and 27 indicators such as the number of innovation carriers, R & D investment intensity, the number of high-tech enterprises, the added value of above designated industries, the number of single champions in manufacturing industry and the number of specialized and special new small giants.
According to the data of Shenzhen industry and Information Technology Bureau, as of July 2021, the added value of advanced manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing in Shenzhen accounted for 72.5% and 66.1% of industries above Designated Size respectively. In addition, among the 25 national advanced manufacturing clusters, Shenzhen accounts for 4, covering the new generation of information and communication, advanced battery materials, high-end medical devices and intelligent equipment, ranking first among cities in China.
Guangzhou, which ranks second, has enjoyed a good momentum of development in advanced manufacturing in recent years. In 2021, the added value of advanced manufacturing industry in Guangzhou accounted for 65.7% of the added value of manufacturing industry above designated size. This year’s work report of Guangzhou municipal government shows that in the past five years, the pace of industrial upgrading in Guangzhou has accelerated, forming six advanced manufacturing clusters with an output value of more than 100 billion yuan and six service industries with an added value of more than 100 billion yuan. The added value of strategic emerging industries has exceeded 30% of the regional GDP.
Manufacturing industry is also an important background of Suzhou’s economic development. In 2021, the total output value of Suzhou’s above designated industries exceeded 4 trillion yuan, a record high. It is worth mentioning that the output value of the four major industries of electronic information, equipment manufacturing, biomedicine and advanced materials reached 3.8 trillion yuan. Last year, Suzhou supported industrial intelligent transformation and digital transformation with a total financial fund of more than 2 billion yuan and completed 10634 projects.
Although the list does not include municipalities directly under the central government, Shanghai’s industrial strength can not be ignored.
In 2021, Shanghai’s industrial added value exceeded 1 trillion yuan for the first time, and the scale remained the first in China. In addition, in 2021, the total output value of industries above Designated Size in Shanghai was 3949.854 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.3% and an average increase of 6.0% in two years; The total output value of industrial strategic emerging industries was 1605.582 billion yuan, an increase of 14.6% over the previous year and an average increase of 11.7% in the two years. Among them, the year-on-year growth rates of new energy vehicles, new energy and biological output value were 1.9 times, 16.1% and 12.1% respectively, and the average growth rates in the two years were 1.8 times, 12.2% and 7.4% respectively.
In addition, according to the data of China first finance and economics, the top ten cities of industrial added value in 2020 are Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Chongqing, Foshan, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Dongguan and Nanjing. Among them, Foshan, Dongguan and other major industrial cities have not been shortlisted in the top ten of the above-mentioned advanced manufacturing industries.
Liang Qi, counselor of the Guangdong provincial government, director of the industrial and regional development research center of Sun Yat sen University and professor of the school of management of Sun Yat sen University, said in an interview with China business that when calculating the output value of advanced manufacturing industry according to the industrial category, it is not just advanced manufacturing in the 41 major categories, 207 medium categories and 666 sub categories of the industrial system. For example, the electronics industry is an advanced manufacturing industry, but if it is only at the low end of the industry and only assembled on the assembly line, it is of little significance. It also depends on whether the advanced technology can achieve first-class technology and be at the high end of the industry value chain.
In March 2021, the Ministry of industry and information technology released the list of winners in the finals of advanced manufacturing clusters in 2020, with 25 clusters distributed in 21 cities. CCID consultant’s report pointed out that the cities where the winning clusters in the finals of advanced manufacturing industry have outstanding advantages. Among them, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Qingdao, Foshan, Dongguan and Chengdu each have two or more final winners.
all localities seize the highland of advanced manufacturing
At present, the national and local levels have successively issued policies to support the development of advanced manufacturing industry. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the construction and development of advanced manufacturing clusters will be accelerated in an all-round way.
According to the outline of the 14th five year plan, cultivate advanced manufacturing clusters and promote the innovative development of industries such as integrated circuit, aerospace, ship and marine engineering equipment, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) , advanced rail transit equipment, advanced power equipment, engineering machinery, high-end CNC machine tools, medicine and medical equipment.
China has also given a series of policy support, including the introduction of tax cuts for advanced manufacturing industries. In 2021, in order to further promote the high-quality development of advanced manufacturing industry, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued the announcement on clarifying the value-added tax rebate policy for advanced manufacturing industry at the end of the period, which is good for qualified advanced manufacturing enterprises, especially for some advanced manufacturing industries, the conditions have been relaxed, so that they have a lower threshold for enjoying the tax rebate policy at the end of the period.
Specifically, all localities have made plans for the development direction of advanced manufacturing industry by focusing on their own industrial advantages.
Shenzhen’s “several measures on promoting high-quality development of manufacturing industry and unswervingly building a strong manufacturing city” was officially implemented in March last year. It is proposed that by 2025, the output value of electronic information manufacturing industry will exceed 3 trillion yuan, the output value of high-end equipment manufacturing industry will be nearly 1 trillion yuan, and 100 billion industrial clusters will be cultivated in the fields of biomedicine, new materials and artificial intelligence. Institutions participating in the national advanced manufacturing cluster competition will be given a maximum of 1:1 supporting subsidy.
In April last year, Chongqing issued the opinions on further promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry and accelerating the construction of national important advanced manufacturing center, and several policies and measures to support the high-quality development of manufacturing industry. It proposed to cultivate advanced manufacturing clusters of electronic information, automobile and equipment manufacturing, and create advanced manufacturing clusters such as materials and characteristic consumer goods, Build a number of strategic emerging industrial clusters with national influence in the fields of new generation information technology, new energy and intelligent networked vehicles.
The 14th five year plan for the development of advanced manufacturing industry in Shanghai proposes to build a “3 + 6” new industrial system: give play to the leading role of the three leading industries, accelerate the implementation of the three “Shanghai plans” for the three leading industries of integrated circuit, biomedicine and artificial intelligence, and cooperate with the Yangtze River Delta to build a world-class industrial cluster, so as to double the scale of the three leading industries by 2025; Strive to build six high-end industrial clusters and develop six key industries: electronic information, life and health, automobile, high-end equipment, advanced materials and fashion consumer goods.
In January, Guangzhou held an industry and information work conference and deployed key tasks for the new year. It will focus on building a benchmark city integrating digital industry and industry, fully implement the strategy of strengthening the city through manufacturing, focus on the “chain length system”, strive to build a modern industry and information industry system led by digital economy, and upgrade and build core industries of digital economy, intelligent Internet connection and new energy vehicles Five pillar industries: Green Petrochemical and new materials, biomedicine and health, and modern high-end equipment.
Traditional industrial cities are also unwilling to lag behind. This year, Dongguan, standing at the new starting point of “double 10000”, while holding the position of traditional manufacturing industry, will accelerate the transformation and upgrading to advanced manufacturing industry. In the next five years, it will focus on “scientific and technological innovation + Advanced Manufacturing”, lay out the strategic new industrial bases of World War 7, including Songshanhu biomedical industrial base, and build a number of strategic emerging industrial clusters of 100 billion level.
Liang Qi said that all localities attach great importance to the advanced manufacturing industry, indicating that all localities attach great importance to the optimization of industrial structure and the future of manufacturing industry. However, Rome was not built in a day. Many places rely on the introduction of advanced manufacturing. RCEP has been officially implemented, including advanced manufacturing powers, such as Japan. Therefore, all localities should make good use of RCEP to strive for docking with world-class enterprises. For example, what Foshan lacks now is the advanced manufacturing industry. We hope to make a difference by taking advantage of RCEP opportunities.
