The low-altitude economy is "rising into the sky" and becoming the next "golden" track for the global economic industry.

As the world's "UAV capital" and the city with the highest concentration of low-altitude industries in the world, Shenzhen takes the lead in taking the lead in technological innovation and driven by scenario applications to efficiently promote industrial development layout and seize the lead in the new low-altitude economic track. Racing at full speed.

These originally appeared The future life in science fiction movies has gradually become a reality in Shenzhen with the accelerated expansion of low-altitude application scenarios.

The low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form that relies on low-altitude airspace, is driven by the low-altitude flight activities of various aircraft, and radiates to drive the integrated development of related fields. In recent years, Shenzhen has planned its layout in advance and seized low-altitude development opportunities from a strategic level. It will take the lead in becoming a comprehensive demonstration zone for my country's general aviation industry and a pilot zone for civil unmanned aviation, accelerate the top-level layout of low-altitude economic industries, continuously increase policies, and create a new growth pole for economic and industrial development.

At the end of 2022, the "Shenzhen Low-altitude Economic Industry Innovation and Development Implementation Plan (2022-2025)" was released, pointing out the direction for the high-quality development of the urban low-altitude economic industry. At the beginning of 2023, Shenzhen included "low-altitude economy" in the government work report for the first time, proposing to build a low-altitude economic center; in October, the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Low-altitude Economic Industry Promotion Regulations (Revised Draft for Comments)" was unveiled to promote Shenzhen's low-altitude economy Provide legal guarantee for the high-quality development of economic and industrial industries; in December, "Several Measures of Shenzhen City to Support the High-quality Development of Low-altitude Economy" was officially launched, focusing on introducing and training enterprises in the low-altitude economic chain, encouraging technological innovation, expanding low-altitude flight application scenarios, and improving industrial supporting facilities Twenty specific support measures have been proposed in four aspects of the environment to promote high-quality development of the low-altitude economy. At the beginning of the new year in 2024, Shenzhen has introduced the country's first low-altitude economic legislation - the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Low-altitude Economic Industry Promotion Regulations" to help the low-altitude economic industry "high-altitude" from the aspects of infrastructure, flight services, industrial applications, technological innovation, safety management, etc. fly". (Related reading → "Shenzhen issues the first special regulations to promote low-altitude economic industries to accelerate the layout of "City in the Sky"")

"To develop low-altitude economy, the market is the foundation, airspace is the key, and policy is the guarantee." Ao Wanzhong, director of the National Low-altitude Economic Integration Innovation Research Center, said that under the escort of policies, Shenzhen's low-altitude application scenarios continue to enrich, the scale of flights continues to expand, and the rapid It has driven the upstream and downstream development of R&D, manufacturing, services, talent cultivation, etc., strengthened the low-altitude economic industry chain, and the low-altitude economic development has taken the lead.

From the perspective of consumer-level applications, manufacturing companies represented by DJI have become the main providers of consumer-level drones in the world and the leading companies in the field of drones; from the perspective of industrial-level applications, Shenzhen is in a leading position in the country, relying on strong With its supply chain system, the output value of industrial-grade civilian drones accounts for about 60% of the country's total, and it has dozens of industrial-grade drone manufacturers such as Yidian Technology, Corbett, Keweitai, and Hawa International.

In addition to drones, Shenzhen's rapidly developing low-altitude industry also covers low-altitude manufacturing, low-altitude flight, low-altitude support, comprehensive services, and various low-altitude application scenarios including tourism, logistics, and inspection industries, forming a long-term Chain, low-altitude industrial ecosystem with wide radiation.

According to public data, the annual output value of Shenzhen's low-altitude economy will exceed 90 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 20%; in 2023, Shenzhen will open 77 new drone routes, build 73 new drone take-off and landing points, and complete the cargo loading The number of drone flights has reached 600,000, ranking first in the country in terms of flight scale. Consumer drones account for 70% of the global market share, and industrial drones account for 50% of the global market share. Helicopters have flown more than 20,000 flights. Leading the country in scale.

While local low-altitude companies are advancing at a rapid pace, Shenzhen is also focusing on key links in the industrial chain to accelerate the recruitment of large companies. In June 2023, the world-renowned eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft) R&D and manufacturer Lilium of Germany announced that its Chinese headquarters would be located in Shenzhen; followed closely, domestic eVTOL leaders such as Guangzhou Ehang and Shanghai Fengfei also announced their arrival in Shenzhen; the United States The group launched its first UAV intelligent manufacturing center in Longhua and officially put it into production... Shenzhen's low-altitude industrial cluster effect has been gaining momentum, and low-altitude elements have penetrated into all industries.
