Since the beginning of this year, promoting the upgrading of various types of equipment has become a key part of expanding domestic demand. Related projects have started construction in succession, and the investment heat has climbed – a number of “high-frequency indicators” that directly reflect the economic operation have confirmed this situation.

“Economic Information Daily” reporter from the State Information Center big data development Department of the latest data show that in March the manufacturing investment heat index growth rate of more than 40%, including equipment renewal, transformation, upgrading related to the heat growth of 65.5%, far more than the overall growth level of engineering projects, highlighting the equipment “refresh” brought about by the huge investment potential.

FCM10EF Recently, on the forging production line of Southwest Aluminum Forging Plant, the 30,000 tons of green paint and bright forging press “water to oil” project was successfully completed and officially completed.

It is reported that the 30,000 tons die forging press has provided materials for major projects such as China’s Long March series rockets and Shenzhou series spacecraft. With the rapid development of China’s aerospace technology, new processes and new products have put forward higher requirements for the equipment, and upgrading has been put on the agenda. “Through the transformation of the 30,000-ton die forging hydraulic press into a die forging hydraulic press, the equipment body and control accuracy have been greatly improved, the die forging quality has been significantly enhanced, and the production efficiency will be greatly improved, thus providing more solid and powerful support and guarantee for the production of die forging parts, superalloys and other aerospace advanced materials.” Southwest aluminum relevant person in charge said.

For some time, all over the country have aimed at high-end, intelligent, green, safety and other key directions to promote large-scale equipment updates in the industrial field. According to the project investment heat index built by the State Information Center according to the project bidding data, the investment heat increased by 0.6% in the first quarter of this year, including 5.8% in March, showing accelerated growth momentum. Among them, the growth of manufacturing investment was prominent, and the manufacturing investment heat index increased by 13.3% year-on-year in January-February, and rapidly increased to 40.6% in March, which was much higher than the growth rate of the overall bidding amount in the country.

“In particular, the investment in equipment renewal and transformation has performed brilliantly. In March, the heat related to equipment renewal, transformation and upgrading in the manufacturing sector increased by 65.5% year-on-year, exceeding the growth rate of the overall investment heat in the manufacturing industry by nearly 25 percentage points.” Yang Daoling, a researcher and director of the Big Data Analysis Department of the Big Data Development Department of the State Information Center, said.

“As the economy continues to recover, the demand for technological transformation investment continues to be released, forming an important support for manufacturing investment.” The recently launched equipment renewal policy is conducive to further promoting the investment demand for technological transformation.” Guangkai chief industrial research institute researcher Luo Huanjie said.

After the “Action Plan for promoting large-scale equipment renewal and replacing old consumer goods with new ones” issued by The State Council, the equipment renewal plan for the industrial field was officially released recently, proposing the implementation of four major actions such as advanced equipment renewal action, digital transformation action, green equipment promotion action, and essential safety level improvement action. Including aviation, photovoltaic, power batteries, additive manufacturing equipment, industrial robots and other industries.

FCM10EF Zhao Chenxin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that according to the estimates of relevant agencies, the current net asset value of the whole society’s equipment stock is about 39.3 trillion yuan, of which the industrial equipment stock assets are about 28 trillion yuan. China’s annual equipment investment in key areas such as industry and agriculture needs to be updated at more than 5 trillion yuan.

The reporter learned that in the next step, the relevant departments will implement central investment, tax incentives, special re-loans and other support policies, increase fiscal and tax financial support, and accelerate the implementation of equipment updates in the industrial field.

“At present, technological transformation investment accounts for 40%-45% of the entire manufacturing investment, which is the largest driving force for manufacturing investment.” Meanwhile, manufacturing investment accounts for more than 40 percent of total investment. Luo Huanjie said that if the proportion of investment in technological transformation is further increased, it will bring greater support to manufacturing investment and overall investment. In the short term, it is conducive to further stimulate the investment and development of the manufacturing industry, and in the long term, the upgrading of equipment has a strong role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, which can promote the manufacturing industry to continue to move towards the high-end and develop new quality productivity.
