The manufacturing industry refers to the sector that transforms resources (materials, energy, equipment, tools, capital, technology, information, and human resources) into tools, industrial products, and consumer goods for public use through manufacturing processes in the mechanical industrial era, in accordance with market demands. This industry directly reflects a nation's productivity level and serves as a critical differentiator between developing and developed countries, occupying a significant share in the national economies of developed nations.
As a pillar industry in China, the manufacturing sector has maintained robust development. However, with the disappearance of China's demographic dividend and rising labor costs, the traditional labor-driven development model has become increasingly unsustainable. Concurrently, intelligent equipment represented by industrial robots is revolutionizing production methods in traditional equipment manufacturing and logistics-related industries. The digital transformation of manufacturing has become a vital component of China's innovation-driven development strategy. Key industrial chains in critical areas such as major equipment industries, core basic component industries, and new material industries continue to evolve. The acceleration of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization has empowered the digital economy to provide strong momentum for economic and social development.
