A strategic layout that concerns the future competitiveness of the country is becoming clearer. This year, emerging pillar industries were included in the government work report for the first time. Behind it is the significant task arrangement during the 15th Five Year Plan period for China to construct a development sequence of strategic emerging industries, emerging pillar industries, and future industries that combine near and far. Facing the medium term, building a new pillar for the development of the national economy. At the economic themed press conference of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress, Zheng Zhajie, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, delivered a speech pointing out the development goals of emerging pillar industries. Preliminary estimates suggest that the output value of these six industries will approach 6 trillion yuan by 2025, and it is expected to double or even more by 2030, expanding to over 10 trillion yuan. ”The six emerging pillar industries mentioned by Zheng Zhajie include integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, low altitude economy, new energy storage, and intelligent robots. He specifically pointed out intelligent robots, 'Like this Spring Festival Gala, our robots not only showcase their skills, but also have a lot of technological content.' The scene is still vivid in my mind. On the Spring Festival Gala stage, dozens of humanoid robots transformed into martial arts masters, performing a beautiful set of Chinese Kung Fu skills, and even staged a scene of falling and a carp standing upright. Nowadays, robots are developing in two directions. Firstly, they are becoming more and more like humans and will have broad application scenarios; The second is that it is becoming less and less human, and according to the needs of industrial development, it may become six fingers, eight fingers, and grow five or six arms. ”In vivid language, the development requirements of emerging pillar industries are highlighted: both a technological height that looks up at the stars and a down-to-earth industrial depth that can solve practical problems. 10 trillion, quite imaginative, but by no means a pipe dream. Data is the most powerful proof. For example, in the aerospace industry, data from the CCID think tank shows that by 2025, the size of China's commercial aerospace market has reached 2.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 20%. By 2030, this number may reach 7-10 trillion yuan. At that time, space 4S stores and space hotels may no longer be dreams. For biomedicine, Gu Xiaosong, academician of the CAE Member, disclosed that the national biomedicine market is expected to reach 5 trillion yuan in 2025, accounting for about 22% of the global market share. The once unattainable sky high priced imported drugs are now entering ordinary people's homes under the impact of domestic innovative drugs. For example, the low altitude economy has been included in the government work report for three consecutive times. By 2025, its market size is expected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan, and it is expected to exceed 2 trillion yuan by 2030. In the future, flying from Shenzhen to Zhuhai for work may no longer be just a movie plot. Zhu Youping, a researcher at the National Information Center, told Sanlihe that emerging pillar industries have the characteristics of high technological content, large growth space, and strong driving ability, and will become a new engine for China's high-quality development. However, going from 6 trillion to 10 trillion is not an easy path. For example, the pain of being stuck in advanced integrated circuit processes, every breakthrough in high-end lithography machines and materials requires a hundredfold effort; Robots still face system challenges of autonomous decision-making by the brain and control of cerebellar movements. Zhu Youping told Sanlihe that the key to emerging pillar industries lies in maturity. It is neither a nascent future industry nor a simple upgrade of traditional industries. The technology has initially been implemented and its potential has been verified. What is needed now is to concentrate resources and accelerate the formation of larger economic increments. Obviously, emerging pillar industries are both a medal and a test question. It means that the track has entered the "main battlefield" from the "experimental field", and must shoulder the banner of growth, prove its quality in the wind and rain, and inject surging momentum into economic growth.
