Executives from Frost & Sullivan have been invited to attend the 2022 Industry Investment + Asset Management Summit and deliver speeches
2022 Since the beginning of this year, affected by complex international situations and environmental changes, the global economic recovery and financial market fluctuations have been fraught with uncertainties. The 'New Asset Management Regulations' were officially implemented at the beginning of the year, and the financial ecological environment has continuously shown new changes. The asset management market has also entered a new development stage.   Against this backdrop, hosted by the Economic Observer "Integrate & Symbiate" 2022 Industrial investment + Asset Management Summit ” is held on 2022 year 7 month 26 Held online,   Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan Zhang Jian, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan's Greater China Region, was invited to attend the forum and delivered a speech on the latest global industry technology trends.     Zhang Jianhua centered on 2020 Year to 2025 This report conducts an in-depth study and interpretation of emerging technologies that promote work efficiency, introducing the trends in technology integration and convergence. AI Automation and robotics trends, as well as cybersecurity trends, are analyzed, and strategic advice and predictions are provided for each trend from 'macro to micro'. Trends in Technological Connectivity and Integration   According to a Frost & Sullivan survey, from 2020 Year-end 2025 In the year 37 100 million smartphones, 5.2 100 million wearable health-related devices and 7 Hundreds of millions of tablets. Device diversity will profoundly impact the backend and frontend of enterprises. Among all trends in technology connectivity and integration, AR Technology has the greatest potential for enterprise applications because it can improve performance while VR Technology has greater mobility. Zhang Jian stated that the number of users collaborating globally through enterprise social networks will continue to rise.   Currently, in North America alone, there are already more than 72% Enterprises are using internal social networking software for office work and communication. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, and current wearable devices will continue to improve people's work efficiency. Companies, even small and medium-sized enterprises, need to design a device strategy that considers long-term scalability and solution unification.   reach 2025 In 2021, the usage rate of wearable devices in workplaces will increase significantly, with the market growth rate for smart glasses expected to be the highest. Wearable devices, especially when combined with augmented reality functions, will achieve rapid growth in the enterprise sector. Workplace wearable devices will quantify and analyze employee behavior to help management make data-driven decisions, and the United States has already deployed this technology on a large scale and rapidly. The next big thing in big data is to transform structured and unstructured data into actionable predictions, such as using normative analytics hours, days, or even weeks in advance to avoid emergencies. As of 2025 In the year, most enterprises will engage in regular analysis. As association organizations monetize their data, data aggregation will become a key service, providing deeper insights through extremely large datasets.   In addition, 2025 year 3D The printing market will grow to 215 Billions of dollars, with the reduction in costs and increased choice of printing materials, it is expected that more manufacturers will fully adopt this technology in the future. AI Automation and robotics trends   reach 2021 In the year, the global automation market exceeded 800 billion US dollars, with the industrial Internet of Things sensor market exceeding 110 Billions of dollars highlight the importance of automated internet solutions in manufacturing. Given the potential scope of applications and the ongoing progress in security and usability, professional service robots will have a significant impact on future workplaces. Zhang Jian pointed out that one direction in artificial intelligence development is the shift from consumer-oriented personal digital assistants to enterprise digital assistants. However, before this technology develops formally, privacy and security issues still need to be addressed.   The improvement in artificial intelligence capabilities will continue to drive progress in most technology fields, with natural language processing and image recognition technologies serving as long-term enablers for customers looking to grow their businesses in the corporate sector. In terms of enterprise readiness, employees need to adapt to AI-derived technologies and corresponding outputs, which requires appropriate training and a workplace culture that is curious about technology and encourages participation.   Given industrial networking and sensorization, the Industrial Internet of Things will be in 2025 The year began with widespread adoption. Due to improved data quality and reduced latency, production is more sensitive to demand, leading to fundamental changes in manufacturing. Both technology providers and users will form their own ecosystems. For suppliers, providing holistic solutions is crucial for maintaining partnerships, while manufacturers will adopt the sharing economy model to reduce downtime. The industrial robot market is relatively mature, and continuous innovation and application will maintain a sustained growth trend. Data shows that 2025 In [year], the number of industrial robots in use globally may exceed 500 One hundred thousand units. Therefore, globally, manufacturing centers will become increasingly automated. Service robots will become more flexible and user-friendly, and there is a certain possibility that they could fundamentally change the way many types of work are done. "In other words, these robots, which are positioned as collaborative machines, still require human supervision rather than job replacements," said Zhang Jianshe. Network security trends Zhang Jian pointed out that with the growth of connectivity trends, cybersecurity incidents will increase and evolve, thus requiring all enterprises to continuously carry out defense work. At the same time, as cybersecurity becomes a higher priority for enterprises, new roles will emerge, such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). For enterprises, recruiting qualified information security administrators will become a continuous challenge. In the future workplace, cybersecurity will include emerging technologies such as blockchain and machine learning.   Network security information exchange centers that share threat intelligence will become increasingly popular, as the advantages gained from sharing information outweigh the competitive advantage brought by information secrecy. Globally, network security information exchange centers will play an important role in sharing threat mitigation strategies with organizations in developing countries, which may not have government support but still need protection to avoid endangering global value chains.   Countries will advance the implementation of cybersecurity strategies to protect the information of enterprises, citizens, and governments. However, by 2020 In [year], the global cybersecurity market was close to 1,550 billions, with a global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals reaching 200 One hundred thousand people urgently need investment in new talent. Industry application scenarios   Finally, Zhang Jian summarized, 'The technologies needed in future workplaces (especially those stemming from AR , AI Connected technologies (IoT) will affect the working environment of most industries, leading to an overall improvement in productivity. The agricultural sector will adopt more robots, autonomous platforms, and aerial vehicles to increase yields and input accuracy, compensating for rising labor costs and shortages. Due to the integration of automation, the internet, and data analysis technology, industrial IoT technology will stand out in office technology scenarios within the industrial field. In office settings, artificial intelligence and big data technology can identify patterns that were previously unrecognizable and improve work efficiency by automating time-consuming tasks.

Overall, market sentiment has not been significantly affected by the lifting of the restrictions. 25 The company's stock price has performed steadily, 10 The price rose, 15 Only down, with an average slight decline 0.51% .   Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan, Mr. Wang Chenhui, Managing Partner and Executive Vice President of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, was interviewed by Securities Daily. 25 Market dynamics on the first trading day of share lifting restrictions for companies listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board before their initial public offering 2022 Second half of the year outlook. Securities Daily 7 month 22 day, the first batch 25 The shares of listed companies on the STAR Market that are subject to a three-year lock-up period have begun to be traded on the market. Currently, no company has disclosed any plans to reduce their restricted shares. On the contrary, there have been previous instances. 11 Company shareholders have successively stated that they will not reduce their holdings of restricted shares or extend the lock-up period of restricted shares. Overall, market sentiment has not been significantly affected by the lifting of restrictions. 25 The company's stock price has performed steadily, 10 The price rose, 15 Only down, with an average slight decline 0.51% . "The first batch to go public 25 The market performance of listed companies basically met market expectations. "Wei Fengchun, chief economist at CGB Fund, told the Securities Daily that overall, the market performance of companies on the Sci-tech Innovation Board is affected by fundamentals and trading levels. Fundamentals include company performance, business direction, governance structure, etc. For companies that align with industry development directions, have stable performance, and stable corporate governance, investors' confidence in long-term holding increases, resulting in relatively smaller fluctuations. From a trading perspective, it is mainly affected by investor sentiment, which was previously influenced by the first batch..." 25 The lifting of the lock-up period for listed companies has been anticipated, and sentiment has been fully released. 25 enterprise No firm has announced a reduction in holdings The reporter noted that as of 7 month 22 day, the first batch 25 Among the companies listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, none have disclosed their plans to reduce their restricted shares. According to the reduction rules, major shareholders, directors, supervisors, and senior management personnel who reduce their shares through centralized competitive bidding transactions should do so in advance. 15 Pre-disclosure was made on a trading day, but currently no company has issued a reduction in holdings announcement. "This indicates that the company's controlling shareholders, actual controllers, major shareholders, etc., are very confident in the industry outlook and the company's future development, and are optimistic about the company's long-term stable development." Wang Chenhui, managing partner and executive vice president of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, told a reporter from Securities Daily that the establishment of shareholder confidence is based on the company's past good development, from the past 3 Looking at the development in [specific year], many enterprises achieved double-digit performance growth. Despite the impact of the pandemic, these enterprises still demonstrated solid business performance, reflecting the resilience of enterprise development and the high growth potential of the Sci-Tech Innovation Board. "The fact that no company has disclosed a reduction in holdings indicates a high probability of long-term shareholding by shareholders," Wei Fengchun said. These companies have a relatively large number of technology personnel holding shares. Against the backdrop of the digital economy, new energy, new models, and new commercial consumption upgrades, the development of these companies aligns with China's policy expectations, industrial expectations, and consumer demand expectations, offering good prospects for long-term investment. Gui Haoming, chief market expert at Shenwan Hongyuan, analyzed to the Securities Daily reporter that currently 25 Among the listed companies on the STAR Market, none have disclosed their share reduction plans, which is due to multiple reasons. On one hand, some shareholders may believe that the current period is not the optimal time for reducing holdings; not reducing now does not mean they will not in the future. On the other hand, there are various channels for reducing shares of listed companies, such as block trades, which require a process of coordination and arrangement, and may not have yet reached a point where it is inevitable. "Reduction of holdings is an important means for shareholders to exit their assets. For investors, they should not expect shareholders not to reduce their holdings, and at the same time, shareholders should also reduce their holdings rationally, rather than through liquidation." Gui Haoming said. In fact, many companies on the Sci-tech Innovation Board have given the market a 'peace of mind' pill before their lifting of restrictions. 11 Company shareholders have announced that they will either not reduce their holdings of restricted shares or extend the lock-up period of these shares, expressing long-term confidence in the company's development prospects. The reporter sorted out and found, 11 Among the companies, there are Huaxingyuan Chuang, Tianyi Shangjia, Jiayuan Technology, etc. 6 Shareholders have promised not to reduce their holdings of restricted shares. China Telecom, Rongbai Technology, etc. 4 Shareholders of the enterprise stated that they are extending the lock-up period for restricted shares. For example, the controlling shareholder of China Railway Signal & Communication Group Co., Ltd. stated that as of 2022 year 7 month 22 Voluntary extension of lock-up period starting from the expiration date of daily limit order 6 Month to 2023 year 1 month 21 day. Second half of the year for the Sci-tech Innovation Board The performance growth trend will continue On the surface, the 'hesitant to sell' restricted shares held by shareholders of Sci-Tech Innovation Board companies reflect their optimism about their own company's stock price. Fundamentally, the foundation supporting the stock price of listed companies is good performance. From this perspective, the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, which has high growth characteristics, is a resource pool that gathers long-term high-quality value investment targets. The reporter sorted out and found that as of 7 month 22 Japanese reporters have released their articles, and so far 47 Companies listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board disclosed their semi-annual performance data through forms such as semi-annual reports, performance bulletins, and performance forecasts, showing overall good performance. Specifically: 47 In the company, 37 The company's performance is expected to increase, 3 The company turned losses into profits, accounting for a total 85% Among them, 13 The company expects the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company to exceed 100% , accounting for more than 30%. Gui Haoming stated that, based on the situation in the past two years, the profit growth of companies listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board has generally outpaced other sectors, and it is expected to continue growing in the first half of the year. However, due to uneven market development, there are significant disparities within the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, including both companies with excellent performance and those experiencing local losses. Historically, the first three years have been the golden period for the development of companies listed on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board, during which the development speed would significantly accelerate. Overall, the listed companies on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board are relatively small and are in the growth stage, so the performance growth trend will continue into the second half of the year. "The Sci-tech Innovation Board (STAR Market) has high growth characteristics. Investment in the STAR Market should not be too short-sighted, but rather recognize its long-term investment value," said Wei Fengchun. In the STAR Market, investments related to mid- to high-end manufacturing account for a relatively high proportion and their growth rate is also increasing, which has promoted the stability of the industry chain and industrial demand on the STAR Market. Against this backdrop, growth stocks that have withstood market tests, especially those with a high content of 'hard technology,' as well as companies with a well-implemented governance structure that integrates business models and technological growth, can be held for the long term. Wang Chenhui stated that in the second half of the year, more technology innovation enterprises from different fields will list on the Sci-tech Innovation Board. Through their own technological innovation and integrated development with the capital market, these enterprises will accelerate their growth, thereby leading the development of various technology innovation fields and boosting the overall economic growth recovery and structural optimization of our country. In terms of industries, key national strategic sectors such as new energy, electronics manufacturing, and biomedicine, which possess leading-edge technology innovation capabilities, will be areas with good investment opportunities.   * This article is reprinted from 'Securities Daily', with reporters Xing Meng and Wu Xiaolu. , Original title: 'The First Batch 25 The first day of share lifting restrictions for companies listed on the Sci-tech Innovation Board before their initial public offering: The Sci-tech Innovation Board is operating smoothly "The market is optimistic about the long-term investment potential of enterprises".

On one hand, this is due to the active atmosphere for scientific and technological innovation among enterprises in the region, as well as the vigorous development of small and medium-sized enterprises. On the other hand, it is also related to policy encouragement and guidance. In the context of regional integration development, the Yangtze River Delta actively encourages local technology companies to list on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board at both institutional and operational levels.'   Joint efforts to help enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta "make it to the top" The formation of the strength of the Yangtze River Delta's science and technology innovation board cannot be separated from the assistance of all parties. It is precisely because a relatively good interaction has been established among local governments, regulatory authorities, enterprises, and financial capital within the Yangtze River Delta region that they can jointly cultivate and promote the development and growth of the science and technology innovation enterprises in the region. A reporter from China Securities Journal learned from the Shanghai Stock Exchange that it has strengthened collaboration and exchanges with local governments such as those in Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, and Anhui Province. A working mechanism for paired services has been established, with market service personnel providing specialized services to corresponding regions. For example, the Yangtze River Delta Capital Market Service Base was jointly established by the People's Government of Pudong New Area, Shanghai and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, starting from 2018 year 11 Since its unveiling and launch, the system has focused on serving the national strategy of integrated development in the Yangtze River Delta and the tasks of the registration-based IPO system reform on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board.

At that time, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism proposed to rely on existing blocks (including art blocks) in various regions with good development conditions, high concentration of cultural and tourism industries, and active nightlife markets , The selection and construction will be carried out in batches, including theaters, museums, art galleries, cultural and entertainment venues (such as concentrated areas), cultural and sports commercial and tourism complexes, tourist attractions, business areas of provincial-level and above cultural industry demonstration parks, etc. 200 The above-mentioned area is a national-level night cultural and tourism consumption cluster that meets the development direction of culture and tourism, has rich cultural connotations, prominent regional characteristics, a large scale of cultural and tourism consumption, high quality and level of consumption, and plays a typical exemplary and leading role. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism also emphasized that the construction of national-level night cultural and tourism consumption clusters should not involve large-scale demolition and construction. It is strictly prohibited to engage in 'image projects', 'performance projects', or 'face-saving projects'. To be eligible for applying to become a national-level night cultural and tourism consumption cluster, six requirements must be met: First, the boundaries are clear. The floor area of commercial areas within blocks, tourist attractions, provincial-level and above cultural industry demonstration parks should not exceed 3 Square kilometers, and the commercial area of the cultural, sports, business and tourism complex should not be less than 1 ten thousand square meters; Second, the business format has a high degree of concentration, with a large number and scale of nighttime cultural and tourism consumption. For blocks, cultural and sports commercial and tourism complexes, and cultural industry demonstration parks, the number or area of cultural businesses among night-time operators should account for no less than 40% For tourist attractions, the number of cultural and entertainment facilities operating at night or the area they cover should account for no less than 40% ; Thirdly, public services are improved. Nighttime social security, lighting, sanitation, transportation, and mobile communications are all in good condition, making nighttime travel convenient. There are parking spaces that can basically meet consumers' needs for overnight parking; Fourth, the brand has a high level of awareness;   Fifth, the market order is well-regulated;    Sixthly, the policy environment is favorable. The location of the applicant places importance on developing night culture and tourism economy, which can provide support to the applicants. Preferential policies such as financial rewards and subsidies are formulated and implemented. " "Under the impact of the pandemic, consumers' travel scope and choices have been limited, making it suitable for exploring tourism that combines regionalism, entertainment, and innovation. The night economy has social and leisure entertainment attributes, as well as distinct consumption scenarios, which can promote economic recovery in the post-pandemic era," said Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian pointed out that China has had a nighttime culture since ancient times. After the initial exploration period and the development phase when the government introduced policies to rectify the disorderly nightlife economy, China's nighttime tourism and consumption have entered a high-quality development stage where various regions are promoting the construction of nighttime economies. Against the backdrop of the national promotion of nighttime tourism, new scenarios such as innovative cultural consumption and smart consumption are gradually emerging. Diversified products integrating traditional culture are continuously being created and produced. While promoting consumption and enriching the nation's spiritual culture, these efforts further increase the options for social employment and positions. According to LeadLeo's data, the scale of domestic night economy consumption has been growing rapidly in recent years, from 2016 year 12 trillion yuan, increased to 2020 The year's promise 19 trillion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.4% The consumer sector mainly includes catering, bars, cultural activities, supplemented by shopping, leisure entertainment, sports and fitness. With continuous promotion from the national and local governments, 2025 The annual night economy consumption scale is expected to exceed 40 trillion yuan. " In Zhang Jian's view, the significance of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism leading the construction of national-level night cultural and tourism consumption clusters is mainly reflected in two aspects: cultural promotion and urban development. To avoid a single model of night tourism, night tourism areas should combine local characteristics, and after attracting visitors, they should boost local cultural promotion.   * This article is reprinted from   Economic Observer Network, Reporter Li Huaqing   ,    Original title:    Announcement of the List of the Second Batch of National Night Cultural and Tourism Consumption Agglomeration Areas Guangdong plans to be selected 6 district    ">

Economic Observer Network | Frost & Sullivan Zhang Jianshe: Under the backdrop of normalized epidemics, developing prefabricated dishes may become a new business growth point for catering enterprises
Recently, Guangdong Hengjian Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned enterprise of the Guangdong State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Guangdong Private Investment Co., Ltd. jointly established the Guangdong Prefabricated Food Industry Fund, with the parent fund reaching 50 RMB 10 billion, and in the future, a sub-fund group with a scale of tens of billions will be formed. Many people have different views on the prospects of prefabricated dishes. Why does Guangdong support the development of prefabricated dishes so firmly and rapidly? What are Guangdong's advantages in developing prefabricated dishes? What kind of help or support do prefabricated dish enterprises currently need? What is the outlook for the prefabricated dish industry? Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan, Zhang Jian, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan's Greater China Region, was interviewed by Economic Observer Network to discuss the reasons behind Guangdong Province's vigorous development of prefabricated dishes and the future development of the prefabricated dish industry.     Economic Observer Network Unlike the stock market's fluctuating investment trend in prefabricated dishes, local governments' enthusiasm for supporting the prefabricated dish industry continues, and support measures are being implemented in an orderly manner. According to the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Government, 7 month 7 On [date], Guangdong Hengjian Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Hengjian Holdings') and Guangdong Private Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Yuemin Investment') jointly established the Guangdong Prefabricated Food Industry Investment Fund, which is the first provincial-level prefabricated food industry investment fund in China, with the parent fund reaching 50 RMB 10 billion, with the expectation of forming a sub-fund group worth tens of billions in the future. Investment will be made in key areas and critical links of the industrial chain such as prefabricated food production, warehousing, distribution, consumption, and equipment manufacturing. The Guangdong Prefabricated Food Industry Investment Fund, backed by Hengjian Holdings and Yue Min Investment, has gathered dual support from local state-owned and private capital in Guangdong. Public information shows that Hengjian Holdings was established in 2007 In [year], it was undertaken by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Guangdong Province 100% Holding is a major strategic investment platform of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Government, as well as a provincial state-owned capital operation company, aiming to assist in industrial agglomeration and upgrading in Guangdong Province. Yuemin Investment was established in 2016 In [year], the initial founding shareholders included well-known private enterprises in Guangdong such as Midea Holdings, Yingfeng Investment, Country Garden, Jiadu Group, Haitian Group, Wanhe Group, Xiangxue Pharmaceutical, and Libai Group. In fact, across the country, Guangdong can be considered a leader in supporting the prefabricated food industry. 2022 year 3 In the month, Guangdong Province introduced the 'Ten Measures to Accelerate the High-Quality Development of the Prefabricated Food Industry in Guangdong' (hereinafter referred to as the 'Prefabricated Food Ten Measures'), which is the first provincial-level policy for the prefabricated food industry in China. 2022 year 5 In the month, the General Office of Guangdong Province announced the list of members for the Joint Conference on the High-quality Development of the Prefabricated Food Industry in Guangdong. Guangdong is the first province in China to establish a provincial joint conference system in the field of prefabricated food. The main responsibilities of this joint conference include coordinating the overall planning of the development layout and strategy of the prefabricated food industry across the province, guiding and supervising localities and relevant units in formulating and implementing policies and measures, strengthening publicity and policy interpretation, and supporting and regulating the development of the prefabricated food industry.     7 month 12 On the same day, Zhang Jianshe, Partner and Managing Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, believed in an interview with an Economic Observer reporter that under the backdrop of normalized epidemics, for catering enterprises, prefabricated dishes may develop into a new business growth point. For agricultural product companies, prefabricated dishes can significantly increase the added value of agricultural products and contribute to rural revitalization. Prefabricated dishes drive rural industrial upgrading Prefabricated dishes refer to ready-to-eat or semi-prepared meals that are made by processing various ingredients with seasonings into finished products. Due to different ingredient combinations, they are categorized into vegetable prefabs, aquatic prefabs, livestock and poultry prefabs, etc. since 2021 Since [start year], prefabricated dishes have received considerable attention. Industry statistics show that 2021 The year's catering industry prefabricated dish track PE/VC investment Total investment events 23 Amount of financing started 56 100 million yuan, accounting for approximately the catering industry of that year PE/VC investment Amount of financing from investment events 10% In the secondary market, 2021 year 4 Month, "The First Pre-prepared Meal Stocking Company" Wizzyxiang 605089.SH ) Log in to the SSE, and the issue price is 28.53 yuan / The stock price was once hyped up to exceed 130 Yuan, although the stock price has since fallen back, the current stock price is still 65 yuan / Shares on the left and right, with relative price increases exceeding 100% . in A On the stock market, many listed companies have also introduced their arrangements for prefabricated dishes. " In response, Zhang Jian told an Economic Observer reporter that against the backdrop of normalized epidemics, for catering enterprises, exploring the market for prefabricated dishes is a means to reduce costs and increase efficiency, as well as achieve transformation and upgrading. Prefabricated dishes could potentially become new business growth points for enterprises. In the eyes of local governments, the potential for prefabricated dishes is even greater. "Prefabricated dishes represent a new model of integrated development of rural primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, a new business format that promotes the improvement and efficiency of the 'vegetable basket' project, and a new channel for farmers to increase their income and become prosperous by connecting one industry with another. It has positive implications for promoting entrepreneurship and employment, consumption upgrading, and rural industrial revitalization." The General Office of the Guangdong Provincial Government introduced the significance of the prefabricated dish industry in the 'Ten Prefabricated Dish Guidelines'. " Zhang Jian also saw the significance of developing prefabricated dishes for rural revitalization: 'For agricultural product enterprises, prefabricated dishes can greatly increase the added value of agricultural products, boost farmers' income, and effectively connect with rural revitalization policies.' Chen Dong, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province 7 month 10 The case shared at the China Prefabricated Food Innovation and Development Summit held daily illustrates more vividly the impact of prefabricated dishes on enhancing the value of agricultural products—Maoming, Guangdong, is the largest tilapia farming and export destination in China, known as the 'Capital of Tilapia in China.' A considerable number of local farmers earn income from tilapia, with fresh tilapia prices ranging from 3 Yuan to 5 Yuan, but if tilapia is made into pickled fish or grilled fish, the price can soar to every jin 40 yuan or 50 yuan. "   Zhang Jian believes that Guangdong has multiple advantages for developing the prefabricated food industry:   First is the industrial chain advantage,   The upstream of the prefabricated food industry chain covers agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. The midstream involves industrial manufacturing. The downstream corresponds to the food and beverage as well as catering industries. There are many links in the upper and lower industrial chains, which are relatively long. The prefabricated food industry chain in Guangdong has a relatively complete industrialization covering the upstream, midstream, and downstream;   Second is the technological advantage,   Guangdong has a solid industrial technology foundation in food processing and other industries;   Third is the dietary culture advantage,   Cantonese cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines, and 'Guangdong cuisine', 'Chaoshan cuisine', and 'Hakka cuisine' are very popular. The characteristics of Cantonese cuisine such as nutrition, health, lightness, and wellness have won the favor of many enthusiasts, which is conducive to the promotion of Cantonese prefabricated dishes; Fourth is the demographic advantage,   Guangdong leads the country in the number of floating population, and its large population base, combined with a fast-paced lifestyle, naturally creates a demand for convenient ready-made dishes;   Fifth is policy advantage.   Not only has Guangdong taken the lead in introducing support measures for prefabricated dishes at the provincial level, but it has also made plans for how various regions within the province can develop prefabricated dishes. It proposes to build a highland for prefabricated dishes in Gaoyao, Zhaoqing, a food capital for aquatic prefabricated dishes in Zhanjiang, an industrial park for coastal seafood prefabricated dishes in Maoming, an import and export trade zone for prefabricated dishes in Nansha, Guangzhou, an international food city for prefabricated dishes in Nanhai and Shunde, Foshan, a world food capital for prefabricated dishes in Chaozhou, a global distribution center for prefabricated dishes by overseas Chinese in Jiangmen, as well as industrial clusters for Hakka prefabricated dishes in Meizhou, Heyuan, and Huizhou.   "Guangdong Province, under the active guidance of the government, has taken the lead in organizing and systematically developing the prefabricated food industry nationwide, and there is great potential for further development in the future." Zhang Jian commented. The prefabricated cuisine industry in urgent need of development Among local governments, not only Guangdong is supporting the development of prefabricated dishes, but also Weifang in Shandong, Liangping in Chongqing, and Fuping in Hebei have introduced support policies for prefabricated dishes. "   In Zhang Jian's view, the prefabricated food industry is currently in its growth phase, with a highly fragmented market and a large number of small-scale enterprises. Most companies focus on a single category, and their business reach is limited. The prefabricated food boom reflects to some extent the evolution of prefabricated food from B End C The trend of end penetration is evident. However, to gain the favor of individual consumers in the long run, prefabricated dish enterprises also need to cultivate capabilities in marketing, quality control, logistics management, brand building, and more. At the same time, Zhang Jian believes that current prefabricated dish enterprises mainly need three types of assistance. The first is the formulation of industry standards. 'Industry standards are norms that prefabricated dish enterprises and every participant in the industry must follow, and they are also an important basis for consumers to safeguard their rights. At this stage, China's prefabricated dish industry still lacks detailed standards for each link. Therefore, prefabricated dish production safety standards endorsed by regulatory authorities and national industry organizations urgently need to be introduced to promote the standardization process of prefabricated dishes.' Secondly, the improvement of cold chain logistics. 'Cold chain logistics is one of the key factors for the development of prefabricated dish enterprises. At present, the efficiency of cold chain logistics in China needs to be improved compared to developed countries, and the overall cold chain market has not yet fully matured. The government can cooperate with prefabricated dish enterprises to jointly explore ways to enhance the service capabilities and efficiency of the cold chain logistics link in the prefabricated dish industry.' Thirdly, the cultivation of compound talents. The 'central kitchen' behind ready-made meals integrates support from multiple fields such as food processing and safety, cooking techniques, mechanical engineering, and supply chain. Traditional cooking technicians often lack this kind of knowledge. To meet the talent needs of ready-made meal enterprises, vocational schools and higher education institutions can try to cultivate compound talents with knowledge in various fields such as cooking techniques and food industry. In the 'Ten Measures for Prefabricated Foods' in Guangdong Province, areas such as the research and development of prefabricated foods, regulatory norms, talent cultivation, warehousing and cold chain logistics, brand marketing, cultural science popularization, cultivation of demonstration enterprises, cluster expansion, and internationalization have all been taken into consideration. Related to the Guangdong Prefabricated Food Industry Investment Fund mentioned earlier, financial, banking, and insurance support for prefabricated foods is also within the scope of consideration in Guangdong Province. The Guangdong Provincial Government has proposed to establish a development fund system for the prefabricated food industry in Guangdong, aiming to reduce the financing difficulties and costs for enterprises. Insurance institutions will be organized to connect with prefabricated food enterprises, and a series of special insurance products targeting prefabricated food products and raw material quality will be launched. Governments at all levels within the province should incorporate the development of the prefabricated food industry into their fiscal support scope. Under the premise of not forming hidden local government debts, eligible prefabricated food industry projects can apply for special local government bonds. Vigorously develop supply chain finance for the prefabricated food industry, and support financial institutions in developing special financial products for the prefabricated food industry. this year 6 In [month], the Guangdong Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China issued to a prefabricated food production and sales enterprise in Foshan City 500 A credit loan of ten thousand yuan, the first financing under ICBC's newly launched 'Ready-to-heat Meal Loan'; during the same period, Foshan also successfully launched its first comprehensive financial service business for the ready-to-heat meal supply chain; this year 7 In [month], PICC Property & Casualty Company Guangzhou Nansha Branch issued the first pre-fabricated food safety liability insurance in Guangzhou for an enterprise in Guangzhou, providing approximately 300 Ten thousand yuan for food safety liability risk protection.   * This article is reprinted from   Economic Observer Network, Reporter Li Huaqing   ,    Original title:    Behind Guangdong's establishment of a provincial prefabricated food industry investment fund: leveraging the 'new business format' to boost rural industrial revitalization    "> Frost & Sullivan Insight & Extended Readings Q :   P prefabricated meals are indeed more popular than in the past, but even in the stock market, concept stocks related to prefabricated meals have experienced fluctuations. It can be said that many people have varying views on the prospects of prefabricated meals. Why is Guangdong so determined and swift in supporting the development of prefabricated meals? A :   Since “The First Pre-prepared Meal Product Company” Vegetable Flavor, 2021 year 4 The cumulative increase in the price of the stock since its listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange has exceeded 200% Leading the secondary market's prefabricated dish sector with continuous heat. In addition, there have been frequent investment and financing events for prefabricated dish companies in the primary market. 2021 Total investment and financing events in the prefabricated dish track of the catering industry in 2023 23 Amount of financing 500 Hundreds of millions, accounting for the entire catering industry's financing amount 10% Enterprises related to 'eating' have flocked in, viewing prefabricated meals as a new business growth point. Against the backdrop of normalized epidemics, for catering enterprises, actively exploring entry into the prefabricated food industry is a means to reduce costs and increase efficiency, as well as achieve transformation and upgrading. At the same time, developing prefabricated food is also highly beneficial for boosting employment and supporting rural areas. For agricultural product enterprises, developing prefabricated food can greatly enhance the added value of agricultural products, increase farmers' income, and effectively connect with rural revitalization policies. Guangdong Province, as a major populous and economic province in China, has a developed manufacturing industry, strong technological innovation capabilities, and a vast consumer market. Guangdong not only has strong local resource advantages (such as abundant agricultural products), The rich and long-standing dietary culture, along with the relatively complete modern supporting facilities (such as cold chain storage and transportation logistics systems), can all contribute to the development of the prefabricated food industry. In recent years, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has organized several sessions for prefabricated food enterprises within the province to offer suggestions on the definition and classification of prefabricated foods, various proposals, and support policies. The recently issued 'Ten Measures to Accelerate the High-Quality Development of the Prefabricated Food Industry in Guangdong' put forward opinions on multiple aspects such as the entire industrial chain process, financial support, and talent cultivation. As the first province in China to introduce support measures for the development of the prefabricated food industry, the experience of Guangdong Province is highly worth learning from. Q What's your personal view on the prospects of prefabricated dishes? A :   At present, the prefabricated food industry is still in its growth phase, with a highly fragmented market. Most prefabricated food enterprises are in the early stages of small-scale development, and most focus on developing a single category, with limited business reach. With continuous breakthroughs in domestic cold chain technology and other positive industry news, mid-sized enterprises within the prefabricated food industry are expected to accelerate their sprint towards the top tier, driving up financing demand. It is estimated that in the next few years, the industry will see a financing boom, attracting more investors' attention to the prefabricated food market. At the same time, prefabricated food enterprises will continue to innovate technologically, improve their transportation efficiency, strengthen cold chain logistics data capabilities, and enhance their overall competitiveness. In addition, affected by the trend of catering chain operation in China, it is expected that prefabricated dishes B Consumer spending in the terminal market will continue to increase. In recent years, with China continuously improving industry standard construction, upgrading supply chains, developing cold chain logistics, and customizing standardized ingredients, prefabricated dishes are gradually transitioning from B End market to C End-market penetration. And for C In the terminal market, affected by factors such as young people's 'lazy homebody' consumption habits and changes in consumer lifestyle after the pandemic, it is expected that the downstream market within the industry will move towards C End acceleration offset, for prefabricated dishes C The penetration rate in the terminal market is expected to gradually increase.

Economic Observer Network | Frost & Sullivan Dr. Wang Xin: As the resumption of work and production continues, industrial capacity utilization rates will improve in the third quarter
Frost & Sullivan insights   7 month 15 Today, the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics announced 2022 Industrial capacity utilization rate across the country in the second quarter of the year. The data shows that the industrial capacity utilization rate across the country in the second quarter was 75.1% , down compared with the same period last year 3.3 Percentage points. And in the first half of this year, the utilization rate of industrial capacity was 75.4% , down compared with the same period last year 2.5 percentage points.   What kind of information does the high or low utilization rate of industrial capacity across the country convey? Looking at major industries,   In the first half of this year, why did the utilization rate of industrial capacity in the automotive manufacturing industry decline the most compared to last year?   In the second quarter, why did the utilization rate of industrial capacity in the non-metallic mineral products industry decline the most compared to last year?    How to assess the performance of industrial capacity utilization in the third quarter?    Frost & Sullivan Frost & Sullivan, Dr. Wang Xin, Global Partner and President of Greater China at Frost & Sullivan (hereinafter referred to as 'Frost & Sullivan'), was interviewed by Economic Observer Network to discuss 2022 Performance of industrial capacity utilization rate in the year. Economic Observer Network 7 month 15 On the same day, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce 2022 The operational status of the national economy in the first half of the year was announced on the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics, with multiple economic indicators provided. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, preliminary accounting, 2022 The gross domestic product for the first half of the year was 562642 Yuan billion, calculated at constant prices, a year-on-year increase 2.5% , including GDP in the second quarter 292464 Yuan, a year-on-year increase 0.4% The National Bureau of Statistics believes that 2022 In the first half of the year, China effectively responded to the impact of factors exceeding expectations, stabilizing and recovering its national economy. From an industrial perspective, 2022 In the first half and second quarter of this year, the growth rate of added value of industries above designated size was higher than that of the whole country in the same period GDP The growth rate needs to be higher. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show, 2022 In the first half of the year, industrial added value above designated size nationwide increased by [X]% year-on-year. 3.4% In the second quarter, industrial added value above designated size increased by year-on-year 0.7% . However, 2022 In the first half of the year and the second quarter, the utilization rate of industrial capacity across the country showed a trend opposite to that of the same period across the country GDP Curves that are completely the opposite: Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows, 2022 In the first half of the year, the national industrial capacity utilization rate was 75.4% , down year-on-year 2.5 Percentage points. The utilization rate of national industrial capacity in the second quarter was 75.1% , down year-on-year 3.3 percentage points. Quarterly trend chart of industrial capacity utilization rate over the past three years (Data source: National Bureau of Statistics) Capacity utilization rate refers to the ratio of actual output to productive capacity. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the survey on industrial capacity utilization rates nationwide involves large and medium-sized enterprises as well as small and micro-enterprises. 11 There are about ten thousand enterprises, among which large and medium-sized enterprises were surveyed comprehensively, while small and micro enterprises were surveyed through sampling.   Wang Xin, Global Partner at Frost & Sullivan and President of the Greater China Region, pointed out to an Economic Observer reporter that the National Bureau of Statistics has been 2013 The data on the utilization rate of industrial capacity across the country has been published quarterly since the beginning of the year, reflecting the overall and major industry production efficiency. Neither an excessively high nor a too low level of this data is ideal. It is evident that if the utilization rate of industrial capacity is too low, it indicates idle capacity, leading to cost waste; if the utilization rate is too high, it suggests that capacity is tight and expansion is needed. Wang Xin believes that the changing trend in the utilization rate of industrial capacity across the country can provide a reference for policy adjustments: 'From historical data, 2013 Year-end 2015 During the year, China's overall industrial capacity utilization rate showed a certain downward trend. 2015 Starting at the end of the year, the country has vigorously promoted supply-side reform, eliminating backward and overcapacity through 'three reductions, one elimination, and one supplement'. 2016 year -2017 During the year, China's industrial capacity utilization rate improved significantly. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the utilization rate of industrial capacity nationwide. 2020 In the first quarter of 2023, the utilization rate of industrial capacity across the country rapidly declined to 67.3% , and then gradually recover. Looking at the trend in the past three years, 2022 In the first half of the year, the national industrial capacity utilization rate showed an unusually downward trend. Typically, due to the Spring Festival holiday in the first quarter, the industrial capacity utilization rate for the second quarter of the same year would be slightly higher than that of the first quarter. 2019 year, 2020 year 2021 The situation in [year] has been the same. 2022 Industrial capacity utilization rates of major industries in the first half of the year (Data source: National Bureau of Statistics) Looking at different industries, 2022 In the first half of the year, the automotive manufacturing industry saw the most severe decline in industrial capacity utilization, falling by 5.5 percentage points. Wang Xin analyzed to the Economic Observer Network reporter that there are mainly two reasons behind this. Firstly, affected by the domestic epidemic, especially that in Shanghai, the automotive manufacturing industry faced significant challenges in terms of supply chain and staffing arrangements in the first half of this year.   According to the statistical data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first half of this year, China's automobile production and sales respectively completed 1211.7 10,000 units and 1205.7 Ten thousand units, a year-on-year decrease 3.7% and 6.6% And 2021 In that year, Shanghai's automobile production reached 10% left and right.   Secondly, China's automotive industry is in a period of structural adjustment. The industry is vigorously developing new energy vehicles, with new production capacity expanding. It still requires some time to adjust old production capacity.   2022 In the second quarter of the year, the industry with the most severe decline in industrial capacity utilization rate was non-metallic mineral products. Wang Xin analyzed to an Economic Observer reporter that the decline in capacity utilization rate of this industry is closely related to changes in the real estate sector.   The non-metallic mineral products industry mainly includes the production of building materials such as cement, lime, glass, and ceramics, which is closely related to the development of the construction industry. With 2020 A series of policies introduced in the year have led the real estate industry into a period of deep adjustment. According to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics, 2022 New housing starts in the first half of the year 66423 Ten thousand square meters, a decrease 34.4% "The adjustment in the real estate industry has dragged down the overall development of the construction industry, thereby affecting the upstream non-metallic mineral products industry." Wang Xin said. In Wang Xin's view, the decline in industrial capacity utilization rate in the second quarter of this year was mainly due to 4 month and 5 The impact of sporadic outbreaks in recent months is mitigated, and as long as the domestic epidemic improves and maintains a good situation, the utilization rate of industrial capacity across the country can be effectively improved in the third quarter. "From PPI , PMI Looking at these leading indicators of industrial capacity utilization, 6 month PPI Remained flat month-on-month. 6 Monthly manufacturing PMI for 50.2 It has increased month-on-month and returned above the boom-bust line after three months. "We believe that as the industrial chain and supply chain gradually become smoother and more stable, and with the continuous advancement of resuming work and production, industrial capacity utilization rates will improve in the third quarter," said Wang Xin.   * This article is reprinted from the Economic Observer Network, with reporter Li Huaqing.
