The “Semi-Annual Report” on industrial and information technology development for the first half of 2026 was released. The high-tech manufacturing industry led the way in the first half of this year, and the scale of intelligent computing power doubled year-on-year. There are many highlights in this report card. Three key data and trends are particularly noteworthy. Highlight 1: The role of industrial “ballast stone” highlights the 5.4% year-on-year increase in industrial value added in the first half of the year. The industry contributed more than 35% to economic growth, and 32 of the 41 major industries maintained growth. The total profit of industrial enterprises above scale increased 18.8% year-on-year in the first five months, and the profit margin on operating income was 5.56%, the highest cumulative monthly level since 2024. Highlight 2: New momentum leads economic development towards new advantages. According to data, the value added of large-scale equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing increased by 9.3% and 13.3%, respectively, over the same period last year. This is not only a quantitative expansion, but also a reflection of the “new and improved” quality and efficiency improvement. Highlight 3: The shift from “price for volume” to “win with intelligence” quadruped robots account for nearly 70% of global sales, and there are more than 400 complete humanoid robots, more than half of the world. New shipbuilding orders from January to May accounted for 81.2% of the world's orders, ranking first. In the fields of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, new energy, biomedicine, etc., a number of global unicorn companies have sprung up to actively contribute to the “China Plan” in international standards development and industrial governance.
