The capacity utilization rates of the steel and non-ferrous metal industries were respectively Reaching 80.2% and 79.7%. Profits in the consumer goods industry rebounded. Policies related to optimizing supply, promoting steady growth in consumption, and promoting the formation of a strong domestic market have been introduced one after another, and special actions for "three products" have been continued. In the first half of the year, the added value of the consumer goods industry increased by 5.9% year-on-year. From January to May, profits increased by 9.4% year-on-year, and the growth rate accelerated by 2.7 percentage points year-on-year. The equipment manufacturing industry maintained moderate growth. In the first half of the year, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 6%. Among them, electrical machinery and equipment, special equipment, instrumentation and other industries are developing well, and the growth rate of added value has accelerated year-on-year. The added value of the electronics manufacturing industry increased by 9.6% year-on-year.

　——The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is solidly promoted. The ability of independent innovation has been continuously enhanced. Accelerate the implementation of projects to make up for major shortcomings such as equipment, orderly promote major scientific and technological projects such as CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment, large aircraft, and "two machines", and implement the new model of "taking responsibility for leadership" in fields such as artificial intelligence. mechanism. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9%, a growth rate that was 3 percentage points higher than that of the entire manufacturing industry. Emerging industries are booming. The development of emerging industries such as ultra-high-definition video and ice and snow equipment is accelerating, and the output of new industrial products with high technical content and added value such as 3D printing equipment, service robots, and urban rail vehicles has maintained double-digit growth. Integrated development is further promoted. Continue to implement intelligent manufacturing projects, organize pilot demonstrations for the integrated development of manufacturing and the Internet, accelerate the construction and implementation of the standard system for the integration of informatization and informatization, and promote the development and growth of the industrial Internet platform. In the first half of the year, the software and information technology services industry achieved business revenue growth of 16%. Industrial green development is actively promoted. We will fight hard to prevent and control pollution in the industrial and communication industries, implement green manufacturing projects, and carry out industrial energy-saving monitoring and energy-saving diagnosis. In the first half of the year, energy consumption of industrial added value fell by 3.1% year-on-year.

　——The business environment for enterprises continues to be optimized. The development vitality of private and small and medium-sized enterprises continues to increase. We have implemented the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises", carried out the cultivation of specialized and new "little giant" enterprises, and taken multiple measures to alleviate the financing difficulties and expensive financing problems of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the situation of private and small and medium-sized enterprises has been improved. In the first half of the year, the added value of private industrial enterprises increased by 8.7%, 2.7 percentage points faster than the same period last year, and 2.7 percentage points higher than the overall industry. The debt settlement of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises is actively promoted. We will further refine the implementation plan, strengthen supervision and inspection, and consolidate responsibilities at all levels to ensure that more than half of the repayment goals set in this year's "Government Work Report" are achieved. As of the end of June, government departments at all levels and large state-owned enterprises across the country had paid off more than 380 billion yuan in arrears to private enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises. The level of opening up of the manufacturing industry to the outside world has been further improved. Accelerate the implementation of major foreign investment projects, implement opening policies for aircraft, ships, automobiles and other industries, and strive to create an institutional environment that treats enterprises of all types of ownership equally and equally. In the first half of the year, the actual use of foreign investment in my country's high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 13.4% year-on-year.

——The information and communication industry plays an increasing role in supporting the economy and society. The information and communication industry has developed steadily. The total volume of telecommunications business in the first half of the year increased by 25.7% year-on-year (calculated at the same price as the previous year). As of the end of June, the proportion of broadband users with 100M or above reached 77.1%, and the penetration rate of 4G users reached 77.6%. The effect of speed increase and fee reduction is prominent. 33.17 million new fiber optic broadband ports were added, and 72 new 4G base stations were built.40,000. The average price of mobile network traffic and the average price of broadband for small and medium-sized enterprises continued to decrease. The technical plan for national number portability promotion has been determined, and network system construction and transformation, inter-network joint debugging and testing, and service provision have been coordinated and promoted. 5G commercialization is steadily advancing. 5G licenses were officially issued, and the launch of 5G commercial systems and terminal products was accelerated. The pace of 5G application innovation is accelerating, and 5G demonstration applications in industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, medical care, smart cities and other fields are constantly emerging.

Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and with the joint efforts of all regions and relevant departments, the industrial economy operated generally stably in the first half of the year, laying a good foundation for achieving the expected goals for the whole year. At the same time, it should also be noted that the domestic and international environment faced by the industrial economy in the first half of the year was complex and changeable, cyclical structural contradictions were superimposed, and downward pressure on the industry still existed. Looking forward to the second half of the year, favorable factors and difficult risks that affect the operation of the industrial economy coexist, recovery momentum and downward pressure coexist, and there are still many uncertain and unstable factors. It still requires arduous efforts to achieve the expected industrial growth target for the whole year. In the next step, relevant departments in all regions must follow the overall arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council for this year's economic work, promote the high-quality development of manufacturing as an important basis for stable growth, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, cultivate and strengthen emerging industries, and promote the Internet and The deep integration of the manufacturing industry fully mobilizes the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of the entire system to achieve various tasks and goals for the industrial communications industry throughout the year, providing strong support for the stable and healthy development of the national economy.
