China's production of more than 100 categories of light industrial products ranks first in the world——


Light industry is moving towards high-quality development (Rui Finance and Economics)

  A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration for Market Regulation, compiled and issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Light Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions").

On June 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a press conference to introduce the relevant situation of the "Guiding Opinions".

  Steady development and long-term benefits

  Light industry is the traditional advantageous industry of my country's national economy and an important private production industry.

It is understood that light industry involves 20 major categories and 68 medium-level industries of the national economy, driving 35 million jobs across the board. Among the 3.847 million manufacturing enterprises in 2020, 720,000 are light industry manufacturing enterprises.

  In order to promote the high-quality development of light industry, the "Guiding Opinions" put forward a series of important measures for stable development and long-term benefits, including strengthening the strategic support of scientific and technological innovation, building a high-quality supply system, improving the modernization level of the industrial chain, and further promoting green and low-carbon transformation and optimization. Five key tasks including the coordinated development of the industrial ecology.

  Promote the modernization of the light industry chain.

Promote the advanced industrial foundation, implement the "one-stop" application plan for key products and processes, and vigorously develop high-end special equipment for plastic products, household appliances, food and other industries; Build high-quality raw material bases in grain and oil industries; deeply implement digital transformation, build a number of light industry intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, and implement digital development promotion projects; develop new service-oriented manufacturing models, and promote the deep integration of light industry and modern service industries.

  Promote the green and low-carbon transformation of light industry.

Accelerate green development, promote the recycling of waste products, and implement green and low-carbon technology development projects; build a green manufacturing system in an all-round way, and guide enterprises to phase out high-energy-consuming equipment and processes; guide the consumption of green products, and promote energy-saving air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, and efficient lighting. Consumption of green energy-saving light industrial products such as products and degradable material products, and encourage localities with conditions to carry out green smart home appliances to the countryside and trade-in actions.

  Build a high-quality supply system.

Increase and upgrade innovative products, vigorously develop light industrial products such as functional foods, baby products, and aging-friendly home appliances, and implement upgrade and innovative product manufacturing projects based on industry characteristics; improve quality assurance levels, and promote enterprises to establish and improve quality management systems; strengthen brand cultivation Services, implement brand cultivation projects around the three dimensions of industry, region and product; promote new business models, and promote the transformation of traditional manufacturing models to new models driven by demand and supply chain coordination.

  Steady increase in comprehensive strength

  "After years of development, my country has become a veritable power in light industry. In 2021, the added value of my country's light industry will account for 16.9% of the national industrial added value, and the output of more than 100 categories of light industrial products ranks first in the world." He Yaqiong, Director of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Say.

  Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the comprehensive strength of my country's light industry has steadily increased.

  Production maintained steady and rapid growth.

The main business income of enterprises above designated size in the light industry will increase by 5.9% annually from 2016 to 2019, and the compound growth rate will be 6% from 2020 to 2021.

The implementation of the "three products" strategy has achieved remarkable results.

The light industry industry vigorously promotes the implementation of the strategy of "increasing varieties, improving quality, and creating brands". The variety, quality satisfaction, and brand recognition of light industrial consumer goods have been significantly improved, effectively enhancing the driving effect of consumption on the national economy.

  The ability to innovate has been significantly enhanced.

By 2021, the light industry will create 40 "National Demonstration Bases for New Industrialized Industries".

In 2021, the penetration rate of digital R&D and design tools and the penetration rate of industrial e-commerce in young industrial industries will reach 76.9% and 69%, respectively, 2.2 and 3.4 percentage points higher than the national average. The proportion of light industrial enterprises in the model is at the forefront of the industry, 3.5, 2.2 and 3.7 percentage points higher than the national industrial average.

  The development level of industrial clusters was further improved.

As of 2021, light industry has cultivated a total of 290 characteristic regions and industrial clusters, covering 37 industries and distributed in 24 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country.

In 2021, the output value of characteristic young industrial areas and industrial clusters will account for 40% of the total industrial output value of light industry enterprises above designated size.

  Green development has achieved remarkable results.

Vigorously build green factories, green parks, and green supply chain systems.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, 357 green factories and 44 green supply chain management demonstration enterprises were built, and 27 green design product standards and 818 green design products were announced.

  Maintain steady growth with confidence

  Affected by factors such as frequent domestic epidemics and severe and complex international situations, light industry faces difficulties such as rising raw material prices, poor logistics, and shrinking demand.

  But He Yaqiong believes that this kind of impact and impact is temporary and temporary.

my country's light industry system is complete, complete with supporting facilities, and strong resilience. In particular, light industry, as a rigid industry in the fields of food, clothing, housing, use, transportation, etc., has not changed its long-term positive fundamentals, and has also achieved certain growth in some fields.

From January to May, the added value of industries such as batteries, toys, and wine manufacturing all achieved double-digit growth; the cumulative export value of 8 key commodities in light industry was 188.7 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 9.3%. The growth rate of exports of luggage, shoes and toys exceeded 20%.

  The "Guiding Opinions" propose that by 2025, the light industry economy will maintain stable operation, new breakthroughs will be made in scientific and technological innovation, the industrial structure will continue to be optimized, the brand competitiveness will be greatly improved, the modernization level of the industrial chain will continue to improve, and new progress will be made in green development.

  He Yaqiong introduced that recently, the State Council has issued a package of measures to stabilize the economy, including 33 items in 6 aspects; the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has continued to carry out a series of powerful measures such as maintaining and stabilizing the chain, helping small and medium-sized enterprises, and expanding investment to promote consumption; Consumption and stable investment policies.

"With the implementation of various policies to help enterprises, the effect of benefiting enterprises is gradually showing. We believe that light industry will continue to grow steadily and rapidly in the second half of the year."
