This year, emerging pillar industries were included in the government work report for the first time, anchoring a new strategic direction for the high-quality development of the Chinese economy.

These six major industries are not simply industry classifications, but a strategic layout of the country based on long-term and global considerations, covering multiple key areas such as the digital economy base, high-end manufacturing, life and health, new energy, and future productivity, with strong complementarity and strategic depth. Integrated circuits, as the "chip base" of the digital economy, are the foundation for the development of all high-tech industries; Aerospace demonstrates the comprehensive industrial strength of the country, with dual benefits of national defense security and commercial aerospace; Precision docking of biopharmaceuticals with the urgent needs of an aging society, crossing economic cycles; Low altitude economy opens up a new track of transportation revolution; New energy storage solves the problem of new energy consumption and builds a new type of power system; Intelligent robots are reshaping the manufacturing and service industries, becoming the core carrier for AI implementation.

Data is the most powerful proof of industrial development. According to Zheng Zhajie, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, at the press conference of the Two Sessions, the related output value of these six emerging pillar industries in 2025 has approached 6 trillion yuan, demonstrating strong growth potential. According to the plan, by 2030, the related output value is expected to double or even more, expanding to over 10 trillion yuan, officially becoming a new pillar of national economic development.

China's six emerging pillar industries are aiming for 10 trillion yuan

From the current development status, the six major industries have shown a good trend of multiple breakthroughs and collaborative efforts. The scale of the integrated circuit industry exceeds one trillion yuan, and it is making every effort to break through the bottleneck links such as high-end chips, advanced processes, EDA software, etc; In the field of aerospace, the scale of the commercial aerospace market has reached the level of 2.8 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of more than 20%. New scenarios such as satellite Internet and space tourism are gradually landing; The research and development of innovative drugs in the biopharmaceutical industry continues to accelerate, and sub sectors such as marine biomedicine continue to expand; In the field of low altitude economy, application scenarios such as flying cars and drone logistics are accelerating their landing, and infrastructure construction is steadily advancing; The new energy storage industry keeps pace with the development of new energy, and technologies such as lithium batteries and flow batteries are constantly iterating; The intelligent robot industry is a frequent highlight, and the wonderful performance of humanoid robots on the Spring Festival Gala stage is a vivid reflection of their technological strength and application potential. In the future, they will develop deeply in two directions: "more like humans" and "more suitable for industrial needs".

However, while developing rapidly, the six major industries are also facing many challenges such as technological breakthroughs, talent cultivation, and market expansion. The insufficient self-sufficiency rate of high-end chips, dependence on imported key core technologies, and the need to improve the industrial and supply chains in some fields urgently need to be addressed through continuous innovation and collaborative efforts.
