National Bureau of Statistics: Last year, profits in the intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing industry increased by 102% year-on-year

When interpreting the 2025 profit data of industrial enterprises, Yu Weining, Chief Statistician of the Industrial Division of the National Bureau of Statistics, stated that the profits of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 13.3% year-on-year, exceeding the overall industrial growth rate of 12.7 percentage points. From an industry perspective, smart electronic products are creating new consumption trends, driving the profit growth of the smart consumer device manufacturing industry by 48% year-on-year. Among them, the profits of the smart unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing and smart vehicle-mounted equipment manufacturing industries increased by 102% and 88.8%, respectively. The profits of related industries such as integrated circuit manufacturing, semiconductor device manufacturing, electronic components and electromechanical assembly equipment manufacturing, and sensitive components and sensor manufacturing increased by 172.6%, 128%, 49.1%, and 33.3%, respectively. The effects of high-quality development in the medical field are becoming evident, with profits in the gene-engineered drug and vaccine manufacturing, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and dental equipment and instrument manufacturing industries increasing by 72.7%, 37.1%, and 29.7%, respectively.

Yu Weining also pointed out that the equipment manufacturing industry in 2025 provides solid support for the upgrading of industrial quality. The profits of equipment manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 7.7% year-on-year, contributing 2.8 percentage points to the profit growth of all industrial enterprises above designated size, making it the sector with the strongest driving effect on profit growth. The profits of equipment manufacturing industries above designated size accounted for 39.8% of the total profits of industrial enterprises, an increase of 2.6 percentage points from the previous year, further optimizing the profit structure of industrial enterprises. From an industry perspective, among the eight major categories of the equipment manufacturing industry, seven industries saw profit growth compared to the previous year, with the railway, shipbuilding, aerospace, and electronics industries experiencing double-digit profit growth rates of 31.2% and 19.5%, respectively.

Yu Weining believes that the overall profit of industrial enterprises above designated size has achieved growth, with new industrial momentum showing significant support, and the industrial economy developing towards new and better directions. However, the impact of changes in the external environment is gradually deepening, and there are growing pains in industrial transformation and upgrading, with some enterprises still facing certain operational difficulties. In the next stage, it is necessary to continue promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, continuously optimize the industrial structure, accelerate the cultivation of new quality productivity, and promote the continuous improvement of industrial enterprise efficiency
