The digital economy gathers three major regions, with 70% of the top 100 Internet companies, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong
The digital economy has not only played an important role in facilitating epidemic prevention and control and driving economic recovery, but it is also becoming a strong engine for sustained and high-quality economic development.
According to the "China Digital Economy Development Index (DEDI)" recently released by CCID Consulting, the top five provinces in the DEDI Index in 2020 are Guangdong, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. This ranking is the same as in 2019 (Zhejiang and Shanghai are ranked mutually. change).
This shows that the top members of the digital economy are basically stable.
The report shows that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta have become the regional cores for the development of digital economy. On the whole, the development of digital economy has not broken the "Hu Huanyong Line" (Heihe-Tengchong Line); compared with 2019, Shaanxi, Shaanxi, 2020 The rankings of western provinces such as Guangxi and Yunnan have improved.
Guangdong leads in overall indicators
As the digital economy enters a new stage, the difficulty of leaping upward will increase accordingly.
At present, there are very few regions where the level of digital economy development in my country is still in its infancy. Sixty percent of the provinces are concentrated in the development and catch-up stage, and gradually become rookies.
The distribution of the digital economy development stages in various places shows a trend of concentration from the tail to the middle.
From the perspective of regional aggregation, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta have become the regional core of my country's digital economy development.
On the one hand, due to the significant advantages of the economic foundations of the three places, they can provide sufficient resources such as talents and funds for the development of the core industries of the digital economy; on the other hand, the solid industrial foundations of the three places also contribute to the integration and development of digital technology and the real economy. Provides a vast space.
The digital economy is mainly composed of two parts: digital industrialization and industrial digitalization.
In terms of industry focus, the development of digital economy industries in various provinces can be divided into four types: 11 provinces such as Guangdong, Shandong, and Hubei belong to the balanced type, and the level of industrial digitalization and digital industrialization are higher than average, and the development of digital economy The most adequate; the development level of industrial digitalization in the three provinces of Anhui, Hebei, and Chongqing is much higher than that of digital industrialization, which is a type of integration and upgrading. The development level of digital economy in the other 17 provinces is lower than the national average, and the industrial potential is urgent to be tapped.
The average value of the 2020 China Digital Economy Development Index is 29.6, and the index value of 10 provinces is higher than the average level.
Guangdong ranked first with an index of 65.3.
Large gap in industry indicators
DEDI evaluates the development of digital economy in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) of the country through 4 first-level indicators, 10 second-level indicators, and 41 third-level indicators: basic, industry, integration, and environment.
From the perspective of industrial indicators of the digital economy, the average industrial indicator of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) is 24.6, and only 11 regions score above the average; Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are in the top five. The scores of these provinces are significantly ahead of other regions.
Among them, Guangdong scored 96.2 and continued to lead the country.
Judging from the average value of industrial indicators in various regions, the gap between the eastern region and other regions is relatively obvious.
The agglomeration characteristics of digital industrialization are also very obvious.
In the field of electronic equipment manufacturing, the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the Sichuan-Chongqing region have obvious advantages in industrial scale; in the fields of information transmission, software and information technology service industries, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Bohai Rim have obvious advantages in industrial scale.
From the perspective of industrial entities, the resources of digital economy enterprises are unevenly distributed.
The 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have an average of 21.4 industrial main indicators, and only 10 provinces are above the average. Among them, Beijing, Guangdong, and Shanghai have scores higher than 80, significantly leading other regions.
In the top ten regions in terms of industry subject indicators, a total of 727 main board listed companies in the ICT (information, communication and technology) field have gathered, accounting for 88.1% of the total; there are 92 Internet top 100 companies, only Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong. It has nearly 70% of the seats in the top 100 companies; has 198 unicorn companies, accounting for more than 90% of the country, of which 84.3% are concentrated in the top five regions.
At the same time, the development speed of the central and western regions has accelerated in the past two years, with significant achievements in the field of digital economy enterprises.
The number of listed companies in the ICT sector in provinces such as Henan and Anhui has grown rapidly.
