Aerospace industry to be worth $123b by end of 13th Five-Year Plan
Carrier rockets, satellite apps and space broadband Internet will be top priorities among key aerospace projects expected to be launched this year.
Carrier rockets, satellite applications and space broadband Internet will be the top priorities among key aerospace projects which are expected to be launched this year, Economic Information Daily reported Monday.
According to industry expert, the three fields are the trends and core of the future development of aerospace industry and are expected to reach 800 billion yuan ($123 billion) in terms of market size by the end of 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020).
An expert familiar with this matter told the newspaper that by the end of 13th Five-Year, China will build a new generation of carrier rockets spectrum and a civil space infrastructure which will meet most of the needs of businesses in different fields.
The expert also said that China will finish the three-step plan of manned space flight and lunar exploration, and form an extensive satellite and application industry chain.
Xu Dazhe, the director of State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, said that implementing key projects is the breakthrough for aerospace development. By realizing the projects China can power the research in space exploration and space science, and drive the application of space technology.
According to the newspaper, the overall output value of China's aerospace industry is expected to exceed 500 billion yuan. Analysis shows that satellite application itself is expected to reach 50 billion yuan by 2020.
According to a report by China Galaxy Securities, aerospace industry has high development potential both in domestic and foreign markets. Compared to Western countries, China still has a long way to go even though it has captured a certain market share in international satellite launch market. As aerospace industry becomes China's important strategic industry during 13th Five-Year, its development will push ahead the transformation and upgrade of manufacturing industry.
