Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with 11 departments such as the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce, studied and formulated work plans for stable growth in four industries, including petrochemical and chemical industries, steel, non-ferrous metals and building materials, and released them to the public. The reporter was informed that the follow-up work plan for stable growth in key industries such as machinery, automobiles, electronic equipment and electronic information manufacturing will also be issued.
Industry insiders believe that the industry has stabilized and rebounded, and the pulling role of key industries is very large. Relevant policies and deployments focus on the classification of key industries, increase efforts to optimize supply, actively expand the application market, and work together from both sides of supply and demand to drive industrial transformation and upgrading, which is expected to promote the continued recovery of the industrial economy.
According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in July increased by 3.7% year-on-year in real terms, and 23 of 41 major industries maintained year-on-year growth in added value. Among them, the raw material industry is the basic industry supporting the development of the national economy, the added value of the industrial above designated size accounted for nearly 30% of the added value, is an important area of steady industrial growth.
Since the beginning of this year, the raw material industry as a whole has shown a continuous recovery and an excellent development trend. Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that from January to July, the added value of the raw material industry increased by 5.2% year-on-year. In particular, new materials accounted for more than 15% of the raw material industry, green building materials revenue increased by more than 20% year-on-year, and new economic growth points are accelerating.
However, we must also see that the current pressure on the steady growth of the raw material industry is still large. Chang Guowu, director of the Raw material Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, believes that from the outside of the industry, global economic growth continues to slow down, domestic demand is still insufficient, and the pressure on resources and environment is increasing; From the perspective of the industry itself, the problem of excess traditional products still exists, the capacity for independent innovation is still weak, and the task of transformation and upgrading is arduous.
