Every city has its own pillar products, what are the pillar products of Guangzhou?

Traditional pillar industries have to be transformed and upgraded

In 2004, the work report of the Guangzhou Municipal Government put forward to focus on the development of advanced manufacturing industry, especially the development of advantageous industries, emerging industries and industries with strong bandwidth, so that Guangzhou has gradually become an important automobile production base, petrochemicals base, shipbuilding base and high-tech industries. Subsequently, Guangzhou's heavy industry has been developing rapidly, especially driven by automobile, petrochemical and ferrous metal smelting industries, heavy industry has gradually become the main support for Guangzhou's industrial economic growth. "During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, Guangzhou further prepared for the construction of the three major automobile industry bases in the east, Nansha and Huadu, which, due to the strong correlation effect of the automobile industry, drove the rapid development of related industries at the same time.

Statistics show that from 2003 to 2006, the average annual growth rate of the output value of Guangzhou's transportation equipment manufacturing industry, represented by automobiles and shipbuilding, reached 32.4%, while the average growth rate of the metallurgical and petrochemical industries reached 45.8% and 24.1% respectively. In addition, the average growth rate of electronic and communication equipment manufacturing industry also reached 19.8%. In the next decade, the three pillar industries of automobile, petrochemical and electronic information manufacturing industries pulled the high speed growth of Guangzhou's industrial over 100 billion scale.

Yang Zegao, vice president of the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, told the first financial reporter that from the existing three pillar industries themselves, the space for future growth is limited, plus they are already in the maturity of industrial development, competition is very fierce. To the petrochemical industry, for example, in May 2009, was to be settled in Nansha, Guangzhou, China's 15 million tons of oil refining and chemical integration project forced by environmental disputes, another site, Zhanjiang, Maoming, Huizhou, Jiangmen has joined the ranks of the competition.

"Not only us, the world is facing the problem of overcapacity, coupled with China's increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements in recent years, but also the emergence of a lot of new products, but also on the petrochemical industry, so it must be transformed and upgraded to improve the quality of development." Yang Zegao said. The automobile industry is also facing these same problems, the development of new energy vehicles, intelligent networked cars, *** enjoyment of the car, as well as unmanned vehicles, will become the future growth point, and thus the big automobile manufacturers in Guangzhou have also made efforts in these directions to transform and upgrade.

On the other hand, the new round of the world's scientific and technological revolution and industrial change has led to the rise of new industries. Artificial intelligence and other emerging industries have become an important growth point of the world economy, but also the future of the world's major areas of industrial competition. Yang Zegao said that at present, many emerging industries are the integration of manufacturing and services, led by technological innovation, and are in the high-end position in the industrial value chain. Whether from the domestic and international economic development of the general environment, or from the perspective of enhancing the sustainable and stable development of Guangzhou's economy, Guangzhou must cultivate new pillar industries.

"In addition, Guangzhou, as an important national center city, to participate in international competition and cooperation, then representing the future development trend of the world's industries in the emerging industries we must have a place, so that we can enhance our right to speak in the international arena, in order to further enhance the city's comprehensive strength." Yang Zegao said.
