If there’s one area that’s getting the most support from the top in 2024, it’s new quality productivity. Since last year, new quality productivity has become a high-frequency word in China’s economy.

What is new quality productivity?

AVME9668 From the literal meaning, the new quality productivity is different from the traditional productivity of new productivity, based on scientific and technological innovation of productivity, is rid of the traditional growth path, in line with the requirements of high-quality development of new productivity.

The development of new quality productivity has been a consensus from various places to various fields. From the work reports of local governments to the government work reports of the Prime Minister, from the reports of state media and foreign media to the proposals put forward on behalf of the committee members, the term “new quality productivity” frequently appears. In the government work report of the Prime Minister on March 5, it was emphasized to vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system, accelerate the development of new quality productivity, and listed it as the first of the ten work tasks in 2024.

In the information age, new technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing and blockchain are booming. Everything is interconnected and intelligent, and human production and life have entered a stage of informatization, intelligence and wisdom.

Entering the new era, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation form a historic intersection with the accelerated transformation of China’s economic development model. Only by fully, accurately and comprehensively implementing the new development concept and breaking the dependence on traditional factors to drive economic growth can we truly form a new quality of productive forces and find a new path of high-quality development.

For China’s manufacturing industry, the formation of new quality productivity is to further stimulate the vitality of technological innovation, continue to invest in scientific research and personnel training, give full play to the value of new talents, and use digital and intelligent technologies and platforms to realize the transformation of the manufacturing industry from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing and to high-quality sustainable development.

AVME9668 At present, China is changing from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power, in order to achieve this goal, the level of scientific research is rapidly improving, instrumentation as an important auxiliary equipment, its demand continues to grow. According to incomplete statistics, the investment in fixed assets of scientific research in China accounts for about 60% of the equipment procurement costs, and the investment in scientific research funds accounts for about 25% of the equipment procurement costs.

In recent years, domestic high-end instrumentation technology research and product development has achieved results, and some high-end instrumentation has achieved localization. However, due to the relatively weak research and development foundation, relatively insufficient technology accumulation, independent research and development of high-end new products is not strong, key components “hollowing” and other reasons, the problem of high dependence on high-end instrumentation imports has not been effectively resolved, domestic instrumentation research and development and manufacturing compared with the international advanced level there is still a certain gap.
