China & WorldChina 15th Five-Year Plan Targets Six Emerging Industries With AI Output Above 10 Trillion Yuan by 2030
China National Peoples Congress approved the 15th Five-Year Plan, designating AI, integrated circuits and four other sectors as emerging pillar industries, with a target for the AI industry to surpass 10 trillion yuan by 2030. The plan also calls for over 7 trillion yuan in infrastructure investment in 2026 to support the economic transformation.
China's National People's Congress recently officially deliberated and approved the outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for national development from 2026 to 2030. The plan designates artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, low-altitude economy, new energy vehicles, intelligent robots, and biotechnology as six major emerging pillar industries.
Official documents clearly state that the artificial intelligence industry scale is projected to surpass 10 trillion yuan by 2030. Regarding infrastructure investment, the plan estimates that in 2026, investment over 7 trillion yuan will be made in key sectors including power grids, computing power, education, and healthcare.
In terms of science and technology self-reliance and self-strengthening, the plan emphasizes accelerating breakthroughs in integrated circuits, operating systems, and other core technologies, reducing dependence on external supply chains.
Analysts noted that this plan emphasizes supply-side structural reforms and high-quality development more than previous iterations, rather than purely relying on demand-side stimulus. The plan explicitly proposed supporting low-altitude economy commercialization, cultivating drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft as emerging growth engines.
Despite China's real estate sector still being in a deep adjustment period, most analysts hold relatively optimistic attitudes toward long-term economic transformation prospects driven by artificial intelligence and innovation.
