Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: In 2021, the profit of raw material manufacturing industry will increase by 92% year-on-year

On January 20, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the development of industry and informatization in 2021
.

Tian Yulong, chief engineer and press spokesman of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that 2021 is a very special year, and efforts will be made to overcome the adverse effects caused by the spread of the epidemic, the tightening of the supply of factors of production, and the continued high prices of bulk commodities.
A series of policies and measures to stabilize industrial growth have been adopted to ensure the recovery of the industrial economy, the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, the continuous improvement of the modernization level, and the further enhancement of the endogenous driving force for high-quality development, all of which have provided strong support for macroeconomic growth
.

In general, the performance of the industrial economy last year has the following characteristics:

First, the industrial economy continued to recover
.
In 2021, the national added value above designated size will increase by 9.
6% year-on-year, and the two-year average will reach 6.
1%, which is higher than the level before the epidemic in 2019; in particular, the added value of the manufacturing industry will increase by 9.
8% year-on-year, and the two-year average will increase by 6.
6%
.
The annual industrial capacity utilization rate was 77.
5%, 3 percentage points higher than the previous year
.
Enterprise efficiency has improved significantly.
In the first 11 months of last year, industrial enterprises above designated size achieved a year-on-year increase of 38% in profits, an average increase of 18.
9% in the two years, and a profit margin of operating income of 6.
98%, which is also a relatively high level in recent years
.
Industrial exports maintained rapid growth.
The delivery value of industrial exports above designated size increased by 17.
7% year-on-year, with an average growth of 8.
3% in the two years.
Exports also showed a growth trend
.

Second, key industries maintained growth momentum
.
In 2021, 39 of the 41 major industrial sectors will maintain growth, and 15 industries will grow by more than double digits
.
The added value of the raw material manufacturing industry increased by 5% year-on-year, with an average growth of 4.
1% in the two years
.
Profits increased by 92% year-on-year, and the increase in raw material prices brought profit growth, contributing 60% to the overall industrial profit growth
.
Therefore, the raw material industry developed very well last year
.
The added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 12.
9% year-on-year, with an average growth rate of 9.
7% in the two years, contributing more than 40% to the overall industrial growth
.
Driven by the "home economy" and external demand, the electronics industry maintained double-digit growth in both industrial added value and export delivery value
.
The added value of consumer goods manufacturing increased by 9.
8% year-on-year, with an average growth rate of 4.
5% in the two years, maintaining a stable recovery in general
.
In particular, driven by the demand for anti-epidemic materials, the added value of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry increased significantly by 24.
8% year-on-year
.

The third is the continuous optimization of the industrial structure
.
Manufacturing investment was adjusted and optimized.
The annual manufacturing investment increased by 13.
5% year-on-year, and the high-tech manufacturing investment increased by 22.
2%
.
The proportion and structure of investment are constantly being optimized
.
Driven by investment, the added value of high-tech manufacturing has grown rapidly, with a year-on-year increase of 18.
2%.
Intelligent and upgraded emerging products have grown rapidly.
The output of industrial robots, integrated circuits and other emerging products have grown rapidly, especially new energy vehicles.
Both production and sales exceeded 3.
5 million units, a year-on-year increase of 1.
6 times
.
At the same time, structural adjustment and kinetic energy conversion are also continuing to advance, and the effects are also obvious.
5G and the industrial Internet have accelerated the digital transformation of manufacturing
.
Some basic and key technologies have achieved success, which has also strongly supported the upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the output of containers has doubled, and the international competitive advantages of industrial chains such as photovoltaics, wind power, and ships have become prominent
.
In the first 11 months, the energy consumption per unit of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size decreased by 5.
5% year-on-year
.

Fourth, SMEs have achieved recovery growth
.
Last year, the income and profits of small and medium-sized enterprises above designated size increased by 20.
7% and 28.
