Development Direction of China's Equipment Manufacturing Industry during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan Period

Zhang Xiangmu, director of the Department of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, proposed that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the development direction of China’s equipment manufacturing industry development should be: First, it should put the development quality and efficiency in a prominent position; second, it should change the promotion of independent innovation. Or promote the central link of transformation and upgrading. Third, we must regard the establishment of a modern equipment manufacturing system as the main direction of structural adjustment, and regard the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries as an important measure to seize the commanding heights of international competition. In addition, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, we must further integrate the promotion of informatization and industrialization as a long-term task to enhance the overall quality of the industry. According to the above guidelines and principles, the development goals of the equipment manufacturing industry in the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” and in the future will be:

First, the quality and efficiency of development must be steadily improved, and total factor productivity must be greatly improved. In the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period and in the coming period, the growth of industrial added value is obviously faster than the growth of industrial output value. The profit growth of equipment products is faster than the growth of industrial added value. The comprehensive index of economic efficiency is higher than the national average level. The output value and value-added of high-end equipment manufacturing must be more than 20%, and the quality and efficiency of development must be greatly improved.

Second, independent innovation capability must be significantly improved. It is necessary to break through and master the core technologies in a number of key areas and form a number of independent technologies and standards. The ability and level of major equipment autonomy should be improved. Major science and technology projects must achieve major phase results. The industry-wide rate of new products and the number of patents granted, as well as the contribution of scientific and technological progress to economic growth, must be significantly increased.

Third, the industrial structure should be optimized and upgraded. The overall quality of the traditional equipment manufacturing industry has further improved, and strategic emerging industries have formed local advantages. The modern manufacturing service industry can have a rapid development. It is necessary to nurture and form a batch of large enterprises and famous brands that have international competitiveness, and develop a batch of In the globally influential equipment manufacturing cluster, the output value of strategic emerging industries accounts for 20% of the industry's gross domestic product.

Fourth, the coordination of development should be significantly enhanced. The level of conventional equipment manufacturing has already ranked among the top in the world. The rate of autonomy required for major complete sets of equipment, high-quality equipment and high-tech industries has reached 80%. The basic supporting capabilities have been greatly improved, the autonomy rate of key parts and components has reached 80%, and general-purpose components have basically met domestic demand.
