In recent years, China's marine economy has continued to break new ground, and the foundation for building a maritime power is stronger. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, China's gross marine product continuously reached the three levels of 9 trillion yuan, 10 trillion yuan, and 11 trillion yuan. In 2025, the gross marine product will account for about 8% of the gross domestic product, 70% of the country's crude oil increase will come from the sea. Marine energy equipment technology has entered the world's first position. Industries such as ships, offshore equipment, offshore wind power, and marine fishery all rank first in the world, and self-developed marine pharmaceuticals account for 28% of the world. However, it is undeniable that the core competitiveness of China's marine industry still needs to be improved. Traditional industries are big but not strong; marine fishery, marine transportation, marine tourism, etc. urgently need to accelerate their progress to the middle and upper end of the global value chain; emerging marine industries are developing rapidly but are still small, and high-end marine service industries such as modern maritime commerce are still in their infancy. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that the linkage between China's land and marine industries is still insufficient, and coastal cities have to a certain extent the phenomenon of convergence in the layout of the marine industry and homogeneity of competition. At the same time, China also lacks world-class marine industry clusters and leading enterprises in the industrial chain with international competitiveness, and there is an urgent need to speed up the construction of a division of labor and cooperation system for the entire industry chain with dislocated development and complementary advantages.
