According to customs statistics, the total export value in the first half of the year reached 13 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.2%. Xie Shaofeng, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that since the beginning of this year, China has deeply implemented policies and measures such as "dual" and "two new", and worked together with various regions to increase efforts in policy support, project implementation, supply and demand matching, and enterprise assistance services. We have fully leveraged the advantages of strong industrial economic foundation, resilience, and innovative activity to achieve stable operation of the industrial economy. Zhao Gang, President of the Saizhi Industry Research Institute, stated that in the second half of the year, we will increase innovation efforts in high-end equipment and other industrial products based on stable growth and foreign trade, meet new market demands, deepen investment and construction in major projects such as industrial high-end, intelligent, and green development, promote digital transformation of key industries and the "AI+" initiative, improve the efficiency of industrial and supply chain operations, and promote the dual increase of manufacturing revenue and profits. The acceleration of digital transformation is running in the first half of the year, and the promotion of digital transformation is accelerating. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has newly identified 26 pilot cities to carry out the second batch of new manufacturing technology transformation, and has provided new support for 35 pilot cities to implement digital transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises. Accelerate the promotion of digital transformation in industries such as electronic information, power equipment, light industry, petrochemical industry, steel, non-ferrous metals, and building materials. The digital product manufacturing industry is experiencing strong growth. Zhao Gang introduced that in the first half of the year, the added value of digital product manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 9.9% year-on-year, and industries such as intelligent device manufacturing, electronic components and equipment manufacturing achieved double-digit growth, with growth rates of 14.9% and 11.7%, respectively. "With the deep integration of industrial Internet and artificial intelligence, China's industrial system has accelerated to become high-end, intelligent and green. ”Qi Guangpeng, chairman of Inspur Yunzhou Industrial Internet, said that Inspur, based on the Yunzhou Industrial Internet platform, deeply focused on key industries such as steel, chemicals and energy, created more than 200 platform solutions, and activated more than 290000 enterprise users. Xie Cun, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that a group of digital transformation typical solutions with strong demonstration effect, replicability and easy promotion will be selected and promoted with application implementation as the guide, accurately solving the pain points, difficulties and blockages of enterprise transformation. Guided by optimizing the ecosystem, cultivate a group of high-level digital transformation service providers, promote the transformation of enterprises towards "product+service", and enhance the level of cluster digital development. Guided by standards, we will accelerate the supply of high-quality standards for new technologies, products, and consumption, establish a sound digital transformation standard system, and promote more Chinese standards to lead global industrial development. The 2300 cubic meter rainwater storage tank for carbon reduction, green expansion, and synergistic efficiency improvement quietly absorbs rainwater like a "giant stomach", saving 21600 tons of clean water annually... As long as the factory operates, the park will "passively" reduce carbon emissions. With only the building design of the factory, the annual carbon reduction can exceed 700 tons. This is the green daily of Lenovo Tianjin Zero Carbon Factory, the first "zero carbon native" intelligent manufacturing factory in China. In the first half of the year, significant achievements were made in industrial green and low-carbon development, and new driving forces for green development continued to be cultivated. At present, the output value of green factories at the national level accounts for over 20% of the total manufacturing output value, and the energy consumption per unit of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size continues to decline. The green manufacturing industry maintains high-speed growth, and the global competitiveness of green and low-carbon products continues to improve. Zhao Gang introduced that in the first half of the year, the "new three types" products grew rapidly, with the production of new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries for automobiles, and solar cells increasing by 36.2%, 53.3%, and 18.2% year-on-year, respectively. Green is the foundation of high-quality development in the manufacturing industry, and traditional industries are the focus of transformation and upgrading in the manufacturing industry. Not long ago, the State Council executive meeting approved the "Action Plan for Green and Low Carbon Development of Manufacturing Industry (2025-2027)", emphasizing the promotion of deep green transformation of traditional industries, combined with the implementation of policies such as large-scale equipment updates, actively applying advanced equipment and processes, and accelerating the green transformation and upgrading of key industries. Tao Qing, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Operations Monitoring and Coordination Bureau, stated that the deep green transformation of traditional industries will be the top priority, focusing on four key industries: steel, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, and building materials. Efforts will be made from four aspects: raw materials, energy consumption, processes, and products to promote the "expansion of green and efficiency" of traditional industries. Specifically, in terms of expanding the use of green raw materials, we will focus on increasing the proportion of renewable resources such as scrap steel, scrap copper, and scrap aluminum in raw materials, striving to increase the proportion to 22%, 30%, and 25% respectively by 2027; In terms of expanding the use of green energy, we will focus on the application of clean low-carbon hydrogen in industries such as metallurgy, synthetic ammonia, synthetic methanol, and refining, and accelerate the achievement of large-scale breakthroughs; In terms of expanding the application of green technologies, we will focus on accelerating the research and development of innovative technologies in traditional industries, fundamentally solving the bottleneck constraints of green and low-carbon development in the industry; In terms of expanding the supply of green products, the focus is on providing new materials and products with significant green and low-carbon effects for various sectors of the economy and society.
