In the first quarter of 2026, the national machinery industry showed a steady growth trend.
The reporter learned from relevant channels that the added value of the five major industries mainly involved in the machinery industry has maintained a year-on-year growth trend.
Among them, the general equipment manufacturing industry increased by 7.8% year-on-year, the special equipment manufacturing industry increased by 7.7% year-on-year, the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 5.1% year-on-year, the electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry increased by 7.3% year-on-year, and the instrumentation manufacturing industry increased by 7.7% year-on-year.
These data fully demonstrate the good development momentum in various subdivisions of the machinery industry.
In terms of fixed asset investment, investment in general equipment manufacturing increased by 12.5% year-on-year, and investment in the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 4.8% year-on-year.
The growth of fixed asset investment provides a solid foundation for the further development of the machinery industry, helping enterprises to upgrade technology and equipment, and improve production efficiency and product quality.
The output of representative products of the machinery industry has also increased significantly.
The cumulative output of industrial robots was 238,000 sets, a year-on-year increase of 33.2%; the cumulative output of power generation units was 84.09 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%.
The substantial growth in the output of industrial robots reflects the increasing demand for automated production in the manufacturing industry. Robots are playing an increasingly important role in improving production accuracy and efficiency.
The growth in the output of generating units has provided a strong guarantee for energy supply.
The steady growth of the machinery industry not only plays an important role in the stable development of the domestic economy, but also provides strong support for Chinese products to go global.
With the continuous advancement of technology and upgrading of industry, the product quality and technical level of China’s machinery industry are constantly improving, and its competitiveness in the international market is also increasing.
Looking to the future, the machinery industry is expected to continue to maintain a good development trend.
The company will continue to increase investment in research and development, promote technological innovation, and improve the intelligence and greenness of its products.
At the same time, the government will also introduce relevant policies to support the development of the machinery industry and promote industrial structural adjustment and upgrading.
In short, the steady growth of the national machinery industry in the first quarter of 2026 has laid a good foundation for the development of the whole year.
It is believed that with the joint efforts of all parties, China’s machinery industry will achieve better results in the international market and make greater contributions to the global sales of Chinese goods.
