The "Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Machinery Industry (2025-2030)" promotes the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the machinery industry.

Recently, the Chinese government, along with eight government departments, issued the "Implementation Plan for the Digital Transformation of the Machinery Industry (2025-2030)," aiming to promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the machinery industry. This initiative has far-reaching implications for the development of the machinery industry and the entire national economy. 

Background and Significance of the Plan

As a fundamental and strategic industry, the machinery industry is characterized by its broad industrial coverage, diverse product range, complex structure, long industrial chain, and diverse production models. Accelerating its digital transformation is not only an inevitable requirement for the industry's own high-quality development, but also a vital force in supporting the digital transformation of all sectors of the national economy and promoting new industrialization. This implementation plan was developed to implement the "Action Plan for the Digital Transformation of Manufacturing." 

Clear Overall Goals

The plan sets a clear goal system. By 2027, digital and intelligent technologies will be widely applied in all aspects of the machinery industry, 50% of enterprises will reach Level 2 or higher in intelligent manufacturing capability maturity, at least 200 excellent smart factories will be built, a group of system solution providers will be cultivated, and at least 200 excellent scenario-based solutions will be developed, significantly enhancing service capabilities. By 2030, enterprises above designated size will have essentially completed their digital transformation, the proportion of enterprises with a maturity level of Level 2 or above in intelligent manufacturing capabilities will increase to 60%, and at least 500 "Excellence-level" smart factories will be built, forming a complete and secure product and service supply system. This will significantly elevate the industry's digital and intelligent capabilities.
