"Guidelines for Equipment Renewal and Upgrade in Key Industrial Sectors" was released today by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

According to the "Guidelines for Equipment Renewal and Upgrade in Key Industrial Sectors" released today by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China plans large-scale equipment renewal in 27 key industries. These industries include petrochemicals, steel, non-ferrous metals, building materials, automobiles, construction machinery, industrial robots, industrial mother machines, and shipbuilding.

Specifically, the steel industry aims to achieve ultra-low emission transformation for over 80% of its capacity. In the building materials sector, more than 30% of cement, building sanitary ceramics, and fiberglass production lines, as well as over 20% of flat glass production lines, are expected to have energy consumption levels better than industry benchmarks. The automobile industry focuses on improving production efficiency and environmental protection, aiming to elevate the quality of components. The industrial robot sector will significantly enhance the supply capacity of the entire industry chain, while in the industrial mother machine industry, the penetration rate of digital R&D design tools and the CNC rate of key processes are expected to exceed 90% and 75%, respectively. The shipbuilding industry also sets goals to improve the construction efficiency of high-end ship types, such as ultra-large LNG carriers and high-end car carriers.
