Turning the crisis into a new industry and releasing the "adversity" development potential
Core point: The epidemic is both a challenge and an opportunity for the development of the industry. Although the epidemic situation will bring difficulties to the development of some industries in the short term, the good development momentum of emerging technologies has not wavered, and the demand for industrial upgrading will not change.
In recent years, China has continued to deepen the supply-side structural reform, vigorously implement the innovation-driven development strategy, focus on promoting mass entrepreneurship and innovation, actively play the leading role of scientific and technological innovation demonstrations, and promote the "two-wheeled" drive of reform and innovation.
The rapid development of new industries and new models and new products has become a new driving force for economic growth and structural adjustment. In 2019, the value added of industrial strategic emerging industries increased by 8.4% over the previous year, which was 2.7 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size; the operating income of strategic emerging service enterprises increased by 12.7%, which was 3.3 percentage points faster than that of services above designated size; the output of service robots Up 38.9%. Both online and offline wings fly together, and new forces of the network are accelerating. Online retail sales of physical goods in 2019 increased by 19.5% over the previous year, accounting for 20.7% of total retail sales of consumer goods.
The sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia will inevitably impact the operation of various industries, but there has also been a certain degree of differentiation between different industries, such as transportation, cultural tourism, hotel catering, and entertainment services such as film and television. New forms of digital economy such as e-commerce and online entertainment are still active. Although the business activity index of the telecommunications and Internet software industries has declined, it is significantly better than the overall level of the service industry under the support of new formats and technologies such as telecommuting, telemedicine and online education, which are respectively higher than the service industry business activity index of 13.2 And 11.3 percentage points.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, many hospitals have launched online telemedicine services, and the internet medical platform has launched an online consultation page. In this epidemic response, online consultation shows the unique advantages of Internet diagnosis and treatment. In order to reduce the flow and concentration of people and minimize cross-infection, various localities have made efforts to online government affairs, continue to optimize online services, highlight epidemic prevention and control, and base themselves on grassroots and services, which has become a great weapon for digital warfare. During the epidemic prevention and control, some regions accelerated the construction of "smart cities", making full use of data processing, intelligent dispatching, and intelligent monitoring, etc., to allow the various departments of the city to integrate and share resources during the epidemic, and form a unity among departments and industries. The operation and dispatching of the city effectively realized the integrated planning, integrated prevention and control of the epidemic situation in the city.
At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial changes are accelerating the impact on all areas of economic and social life. In the short term, although some traditional industries have been hit hard, the "online economy" is accelerating to replace the "offline economy". Emerging industries such as online consumption, smart manufacturing, unmanned distribution, and remote services have unleashed the potential for adverse growth. The epidemic is forcing innovation. These innovative explorations have not only contributed to epidemic prevention and control, but also created new economic growth points. As long as policy guidance is provided, the market's enthusiasm for innovation will be re-energized, and a series of new consumption, new products, new business models, and new models will also accelerate development.
The epidemic is both a challenge and an opportunity for industrial development. Although the epidemic situation will bring difficulties to the development of some industries in the short term, the good development momentum of emerging technologies has not wavered, and the demand for industrial upgrading will not change. In the future, we will not only have the courage to face challenges, but also be good at turning crisis into opportunities, further improve policies, and create a good environment for innovation. In response to the impact of the epidemic on short-term economic operations and new trends that force innovation and development, More active and effective measures will provide support for China's innovation drive, structural transformation, and improvement of economic operation efficiency, and provide new momentum for the victory of the epidemic and economic and social development goals.
