2025-01-23   

In 2024, China's basic research capabilities will continue to improve, the overall strength of scientific and technological innovation will steadily increase, and the transformation of scientific and technological creativity into social productivity will accelerate, injecting a continuous stream of new momentum into high-quality development. In 2024, China's research and experimental development (RD) funding intensity will reach 2.68%, an increase of 0.1 percentage points from the previous year, to strengthen the foundation of science and technology innovation. Large scale R&D investment is an important foundation for promoting invention and creation, and generating a large number of technological achievements According to Xuan Zhaohui, Director of the Institute of Technology Forecasting and Statistical Analysis at the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, the total amount of R&D funding in China will exceed 3.6 trillion yuan in 2024, and the ratio of R&D to gross domestic product (GDP) will reach a historical high of 2.68%, indicating that the supply capacity of China's scientific and technological innovation sources will be further enhanced. In the total amount of RD funding in the whole society, basic research funding increased by 10.5%, accounting for 6.91% of RD funding. The rapid growth of basic research funding provides an important foundation for producing more and better original, breakthrough, and leading major scientific and technological achievements, "said Xuan Zhaohui. Our country's innovation capability has been further enhanced. Kang Yi, Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that in 2024, China's global innovation index ranking will rise to 11th place, making it one of the economies with the fastest improvement in innovation in the past decade. Hu Wenhui, Deputy Director of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, said that in 2024, China would authorize 1.045 million invention patents, up 13.5% year on year, and 4.781 million registered trademarks, up 9.1% year on year; As of the end of 2024, the number of high-value invention patents per 10000 people in China has reached 14, and the effective number of domestic invention patents in China has reached 4.756 million, becoming the world's first country to exceed 4 million. By 2024, the added value of China's high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size will increase by 8.9% compared to the previous year, far exceeding the growth rate of 5.8% for industrial added value above designated size and 6.1% for manufacturing added value above designated size. Xuan Zhaohui believes that China's industrial structure is constantly optimizing, and new driving forces and advantages for development are gradually emerging. In the high-tech manufacturing industry above a certain scale, the added value of the intelligent consumer equipment manufacturing industry increased by 10.9% compared to the previous year, among which the added value of industries such as intelligent vehicle mounted equipment manufacturing and intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing increased by 25.1% and 53.5% respectively. The further growth of emerging industries indicates that intelligent and digital transformation has become a prominent feature of China's current industrial development, and technological innovation is solidly promoting high-quality industrial development Xuan Zhaohui said. In 2024, the investment in technological transformation in China's manufacturing industry will increase by 8% compared to the previous year, significantly faster than the overall investment growth rate. By the end of 2024, the CNC rate of key processes in the raw material industry will exceed 75%, and the goal of the 14th Five Year Plan has been achieved ahead of schedule. Developing new quality productive forces is an inherent requirement and important focus for promoting high-quality development Kang Yi said that China's new quality productivity is steadily developing. Emerging industries are further expanding. The development trend of emerging industries represented by high-end equipment and artificial intelligence is improving, and new pillars of the industrial system are gradually forming. Further upgrading of traditional industries. China is accelerating technological transformation and equipment updates in the industrial sector, continuously promoting the revitalization of traditional industries with new opportunities. With the continuous development of digital technology, digital infrastructure, and data resources, the digital economy is also empowering various industries and becoming a key engine for developing new quality productivity. Releasing the talent dividend "In 2024, China's manufacturing industry will continue to deepen its high-end, intelligent, and green development, leading the high-quality development of industry," said Tang Weiwei, Director of the Industrial Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics. Breakthrough in high-end manufacturing. In 2024, the added value of China's integrated circuit manufacturing, optoelectronic device manufacturing, and semiconductor device specialized equipment manufacturing industries will increase by 18.3%, 18.1%, and 16.7% respectively. The level of intelligence is constantly improving. In 2024, the production of intelligent products such as service robots and industrial robots in China will increase by 15.6% and 14.2% respectively. The background of green development is more distinct. In 2024, China's annual production of new energy vehicles reached 13.168 million units, an increase of 38.7% over the previous year, ranking first in the world for 10 consecutive years. China has become the first country in the world to produce over 10 million units of new energy vehicles annually. In 2024, the average length of education for the working age population aged 16 to 59 in China will reach 11.21 years, an increase of 0.16 years from 2023. With the integration of education technology talent system and mechanism, the education level of the newly entered working age population continues to improve, and the average education years of China's working age population continue to rise. The dividend of talent development is accelerating, providing basic support for high-quality development and modernization construction, "said Wang Pingping, Director of the Population and Employment Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics. Xuan Zhaohui believes that the next step is to continue to enhance the supply capacity of technological innovation sources, coordinate the promotion of goal oriented and freely exploratory basic research, strengthen organized key core technology research and development activities, promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, promote the empowerment of key industries by science and technology, and lay a solid foundation for cultivating new quality productivity and establishing a modern industrial system.
