Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry above the designated size increased by 9.2% year-on-year, with the growth rate accelerating by 1.5 percentage points from the previous year. The added value accounted for 36.8% of all industries above the designated size, an increase of 2.2 percentage points from the previous year.
From a global competition perspective, the proportion of key areas in China's high-end equipment that are at world-leading or world-advanced levels has reached 60.8%, with the industry scale accounting for over 60% of the total equipment manufacturing industry. Intelligent connected new energy vehicles, rail transit equipment, power equipment, aerospace equipment, high-tech ships and marine engineering equipment are already at world-leading positions. In 2025, China's manufacturing added value reached 34.7 trillion yuan, and the scale of manufacturing is expected to remain the world's largest for 16 consecutive years.
The high-end equipment manufacturing industry is a key indicator of a country's comprehensive manufacturing strength. According to the "Decision on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries" issued by the State Council in 2010, high-end equipment manufacturing refers to the high-end segments of the equipment manufacturing industry, characterized by high technological content, positioning at the high end of the value chain, and occupying core positions in the industrial chain. It mainly includes five sub-sectors: aviation equipment, satellites and applications, rail transit equipment, marine engineering equipment, and intelligent manufacturing equipment.
According to the "2025 China Manufacturing Power Development Index Report," China has entered the second tier of global manufacturing powers, becoming the fourth country after the United States, Germany, and Japan to join the ranks of global manufacturing powers. The profit growth of the equipment manufacturing industry reached 7.7%, driving a 2.8 percentage point increase in the profits of all industrial enterprises above the designated size, making it the strongest sector driving industrial profit growth.
