Today, the National Oceanographic Information Center and the China Ocean Development Research Association released the “China Ocean Development Index Report 2026”. The 2025 China Ocean Development Index was 132.3, an increase of 2.5% over the previous year. The high-quality development of the marine economy is progressing steadily, and new results have been achieved in building a maritime power. The China Ocean Development Index is a quantitative assessment of the development level of China's marine sector in the six areas of economic livelihood, scientific and technological innovation, ecological environment, resource utilization, level of openness, and comprehensive management over a certain period of time. The index is based on 2015, and the base period index value is 100. The “China Ocean Development Index Report 2026” shows that marine economic development is progressing steadily, and people's livelihood continues to improve. In 2025, the economic and people's livelihood index was 133.1, an increase of 2.9% over the previous year. The country's gross marine product reached 11 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.5% over the previous year. Emerging marine industries and marine manufacturing have maintained rapid growth, and the industrial structure continues to be optimized. The per capita share of seawater products increased by 0.9 kg over the previous year, and the level of people's livelihood security continues to improve. The National Oceanographic Information Center simultaneously released the “World Maritime Economic Development Bulletin 2026”, which summarizes the development of the nine major global marine industries and the marine economy of nearly 30 coastal countries, and focuses on the current state of global marine economic development in 2025. Judging from the development of the global marine industry, the marine industry has become the blue engine for the recovery and growth of the world economy.
