PCIe-8361 According to the data listed in the report, in 2013, among the three major urban clusters, the proportion of employees in producer services was higher than that in manufacturing, only Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (31.12% and 22.05%, respectively); However, by 2021, the proportion of productive services employees in the Yangtze River Delta is also higher than that in the manufacturing industry (29.34% and 28.33% respectively), and the difference between the two data in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has exceeded 11 percentage points. “The good coupling of producer services and manufacturing is crucial to achieve high-quality development of urban agglomerations, and the fact that the proportion of employees in producer services is much higher than that in manufacturing is an important reason for the low level of manufacturing in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.” “The report said.

PCIe-8361 From the distribution of the manufacturing industry in the three major urban agglomerations, the report data shows that the growth rate of the manufacturing industry in the core cities has slowed down, and the scale gap between the core cities and the hinterland cities has narrowed. In 2021, the growth rate of manufacturing enterprises in the hinterland cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei will be 7.83%, higher than that of the core cities of 0.66%; The growth rate of manufacturing enterprises in the hinterland cities of the Yangtze River Delta was 6.10%, higher than that of the core cities (1.54%) and secondary core cities (4.12%). The growth rate of manufacturing enterprises in the hinterland cities of the Pearl River Delta was 8.61%, higher than that of the core cities, which was 3.19%.

PCIe-8361 With the relaxation of Beijing’s non-capital functions, some manufacturing enterprises have moved to Tianjin and Hebei. From 2015 to 2021, the growth rate of the number of enterprises in Beijing’s manufacturing industry is negative, and in 2020, the growth rate of the number of enterprises in Beijing’s manufacturing industry will reach the lowest value in seven years – 7.43%. The growth rate of the number of enterprises in Tianjin-Hebei’s manufacturing industry has always maintained a positive growth rate, and the growth rate of the number of enterprises in Hebei’s manufacturing industry is much higher than that in Beijing and Tianjin.

In terms of innovation ability, manufacturing enterprises in the Pearl River Delta are much higher than those in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yangtze River Delta. From 2013 to 2021, the average number of authorized invention patents per manufacturing enterprise in the Pearl River Delta is higher than that in the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The strong innovation ability of core cities and hinterland cities in the Pearl River Delta is an important guarantee for the exchange and cooperation of manufacturing technology among cities in the Pearl River Delta.

PCIe-8361 From the perspective of industrial structure, among the top ten cities with high-tech manufacturing enterprises in 2021, Shenzhen and Dongguan ranked the top two, with 51,108 and 20,822 households respectively, far exceeding other cities in the three major urban agglomerations.

From the perspective of manufacturing specialization advantages, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is more obvious. In 2021, there will be 19 advantageous manufacturing industries in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, 14 in the Yangtze River Delta and 13 in the Pearl River Delta. In addition, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei raw materials and resources processing and manufacturing industry has significant professional advantages.

“The characteristics of the collaborative development of the manufacturing industry in urban agglomerations are mainly reflected in the interactive relationship between the core city and the hinterland city manufacturing industry. Industrial transfer is an important way to achieve industrial collaborative development. Through industrial transfer, the core city and the hinterland city optimize the spatial layout of the manufacturing industry and improve the development level of the manufacturing industry in urban agglomerations.” “The report said.
