China News Service, Beijing, March 18 (Reporter Liu Yuying) China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute released the "Manufacturing Innovation Index Report (2020)" on the 18th.

According to the report's research, the national manufacturing innovation index has grown significantly, but at the same time, the growth rate of the innovation resource index is lower than the manufacturing innovation index, and the willingness to invest in innovation needs to be further increased.

  The first CCID Industry Economic Forum was held in Beijing in the morning.

The "Manufacturing Innovation Index Report (2020)" was released on the forum.

  The report’s evaluation system selects the manufacturing industry’s innovation resources, innovation output, innovation synergy, and innovation performance. The innovation environment has five dimensions and 18 specific indicators, including the intensity of manufacturing R&D expenditures, etc., with reference to the global innovation index. Practice and some indicators, combined with domestic data.

  The report set the national manufacturing innovation index in 2011 to be 100. According to calculations, the index will increase to 255 by 2018, which is equivalent to an average annual increase of more than 14%, and the growth is very obvious.

  Liu Wenqiang, vice president of the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, believes that the national manufacturing innovation index has maintained a steady rise, and the development trend is closely related to the international and domestic situations, mainly due to the substantial increase in the manufacturing innovation environment and innovation output in recent years.

  The report also shows that from 2011 to 2018, the investment intensity of manufacturing R&D expenditure increased from 0.71% to 1.23%; the labor input intensity of manufacturing R&D increased from 2.12% to 3.57%.

  It is worth noting that from 2011 to 2018, the proportion of manufacturing R&D investment in the R&D investment of the whole society did not rise but declined, but slightly declined.

Liu Wenqiang said that this shows that the growth rate of R&D investment in the manufacturing industry of the whole country is lower than that of the whole society.

  The report also shows that the level of manufacturing innovation output has increased significantly.

The number of PCT patent applications entering the national phase increased from 13,241 in 2011 to 36,791 in 2018.

"This is very close to the number of PCT patent applications in the United States in 2018." Liu Wenqiang said that at the same time, the proportion of new product sales in the main business revenue has increased rapidly, indicating that the value of innovation is gradually emerging and gradually increasing.
