China's market landscape experienced a structural optimization in the first half of 2026, powered by a lineup of emerging and future-oriented industries.
Official data from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) shows 561,000 new enterprises were registered across China's strategic emerging and future industries, spanning next-generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, generative artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robotics.
The rapid expansion of these new market players is revamping China's industrial layout and fast-tracking the cultivation of new quality productive forces, underpinning steady high-quality economic upgrading, experts said.
Cutting-edge technology sectors stood out as the brightest growth spots, posting explosive year-on-year expansion. The generative AI industry recorded a 28 percent surge in new start-ups with 55,000 newly established firms, while the humanoid robot sector saw a 9.5 percent rise, adding 116,000 new enterprises.
"It shows that China's innovation momentum is exceptionally strong and remarkably broad-based — a trait that is virtually unique in the global landscape," Chen Jing, a vice president of the Technology and Strategy Research Institute, told the Global Times on Sunday. "The explosive growth of new enterprises in AI and robotics reflects the extraordinary depth and diversity of China's industrial ecosystem."
Outside high‑tech sectors, 3.957 million new services‑sector enterprises were established and booming emerging‑consumption businesses injected fresh impetus into domestic demand, the SAMR said.
The number of new firms in software and telecommunications services rose 3.3 percent to 322,000. Inspection‑and‑testing businesses soared 43.9 percent, and entities dedicated to the commercialization of scientific‑research achievements climbed 6.8 percent to 459,000.
Manufacturers accelerated industrial upgrading with companies moving up the value‑chain ladder, the SAMR said.
High‑end equipment industries have maintained growth during the first half, with 28,000 newly registered firms and a year‑on‑year increase of 2.5 percent.
A total of 330,000 high‑tech‑manufacturing enterprises were operating as of the end of June, including 15,000 newly established ones. Start‑ups engaged in the production of spacecraft and launch vehicles rocketed 185.7 percent. New producers of fiber optic cables climbed 129.4 percent and integrated‑circuit businesses increased by 24.2 percent.
"We are witnessing a dual-engine growth model, where new consumption in the services sector and high-tech services reinforce each other, while the digital and real economies integrate at an accelerating pace. At the same time, the intelligent transformation of manufacturing is picking up speed," Chen said.
The dividends from this industrial transformation are generating a powerful multiplier effect, creating a virtuous cycle led by innovation, Chen noted.
"The first‑half growth and structural shifts among China's market‑based businesses mirrored the country's overall economic momentum and industrial makeup. New‑emerging sectors, core strategic pillar industries and forward‑looking future industries registered the fastest business expansion," Tian Yun, a veteran economist, told the Global Times on Sunday.
These solid achievements fully reflect the success of China's innovation-driven economic strategy.
Strong policy support for specialized, sophisticated, unique and innovative enterprises has fueled this industrial boom while these market players have helped China shore up, upgrade and extend its industrial chains, Tian noted.
This business boom lines up with this year's stellar foreign trade figures, Tian noted.
China's exports rose 23.9 percent year-on-year in dollar terms in July, data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Friday.
Exports of high-tech products, including industrial robots and 3D printers, surged by more than 50 percent year-on-year, outpacing the 39 percent growth recorded in the first half of the year, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The growing pool of high‑quality market players signaled lasting improvements in China's global competitiveness, industrial upgrading capacity and the standard of goods and services. Broader product ranges, better‑made commodities and improved supporting services will deliver durable new‑growth momentum, Tian noted.

三 | ”汪品先很开心。这十年,像汪品先这样的科普“网红”越来越多。统计数据显示,目前我国已建设科普网站2732个,科普类微博4834个,科普类微信公众号9612个。“网络空间已经成为科普工作的重要阵地。”科技部副部长李萌说,“要把网络科普队伍作为重要的新生力量来支持和培育,引导其传播正能量,增强科学性,更加便捷地服务广大群众。”据他介绍,未来我国还会围绕绿色双碳、人工智能、基因编辑、量子科技、高速移动网络等前沿话题,制作和推广更多优质网络科普产品。今年3月23日,“天宫课堂”第二课开讲,旦增曲珍的梦想成真了!这个来自西藏日喀则市扎西顶村的14岁女孩,在西藏自然科学博物馆,和同学们利用实验资源包,同步开展天地对比实验,还与航天员现场连线。她提出的科学问题,得到了航天员老师翟志刚的解答。

四 | 天南地北的青少年也能同上太空课了,更多科学梦想被点燃的背后,是现代科技馆体系十年来的稳步建设、量质齐升。

五 | 2012年,党的十八大提出“普及科学知识,弘扬科学精神,提高全民科学素养”,中国科协启动建设现代科技馆体系——现如今,我国流动科技馆巡展近5000站,把优质科学教育资源送达全国29个省1888个县级行政区;农村中学科技馆在全国14个集中连片特困地区中实现广覆盖,累计培训科技教师近5000人次…… 高质量的科普离不开稳定的创造队伍。十年来,我国的科普人才队伍稳步提升。据中国科协专职副主席、书记处书记孟庆海介绍,到目前,共有1200万名科普中国信息员活跃在基层一线。一头连着科技工作者,一头连着社会公众,科普,对于提升公民科学素质发挥着重要作用,后者则是一个国家科学文化软实力的重要指标。

六 | 十年来,我国科普工作的成效已经凸显——公民科学素质不断提升,具备科学素质的公民比例已达10.56%。“到2035年,公民具备科学素质比例将达到25%,科普服务高质量发展能效显著,科学文化软实力显著增强,为世界科技强国建设提供有力支撑。”中共中央办公厅、国务院办公厅近日印发的《关于新时代进一步加强科学技术普及工作的意见》为我们描绘了将科学“种”进更多人心田的新蓝图。(本报记者 詹媛)
