Sun Xiao, chief statistician of the Department of Industry of the National Bureau of Statistics, interpreted the industrial production data for July 2026. Overall, in July, the industrial economy overcame the effects of short-term factors such as phased high temperatures and rainfall during the flood season, and maintained an overall steady and positive development trend. At the same time, it is also important to note that the external environment is complex and changing, the industrial economy still faces many difficult challenges in the process of converting old and new kinetic energy. Problems such as insufficient effective demand, poor production and marketing connections, and high pressure on the capital turnover of enterprises in some industries are still prominent. In the next stage, it is necessary to continue to fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, thoroughly implement the “Artificial Intelligence +” campaign, focus on building emerging pillar industries, continue to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and solidly promote the high-quality development of the industrial economy.
