逾万家粤企“抢飞”低空市场万亿风口

Core Viewpoint - The low-altitude economy is poised to reshape the three-dimensional transportation landscape, becoming the next trillion-dollar industry following electric vehicles, as highlighted by Professor Xie Shengli from Guangdong University of Technology [5]. Industry Overview - The 2025 International Low Altitude Economy Trade Expo in Guangzhou attracted over 350 enterprises, showcasing the entire low-altitude industry chain from upstream materials to core components and application scenarios [5][6]. - The event reflects the robust vitality of Guangdong's low-altitude economy, which is supported by national strategies that have integrated low-altitude economic development into government planning since 2021 [6]. Market Potential - By 2035, China's low-altitude economy market is expected to reach 3.5 trillion yuan, with key regions including the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta [7]. - As of the end of 2024, the number of registered traditional general aviation aircraft in China is projected to be 3,232, while the number of registered drones is expected to reach 2.177 million, with drone flight hours surpassing 26.67 million, significantly outpacing traditional aviation [7]. Regional Advantages - Guangdong is home to over 15,000 low-altitude economy enterprises, accounting for more than 30% of the national total, and is expected to surpass 180 billion yuan in low-altitude economic output in 2024 [8]. - The region leads globally in the drone sector, with consumer drones making up 70% of global production and industrial drones 50% [8]. Challenges and Responses - The low-altitude economy faces challenges such as underdeveloped high-value application scenarios and stringent airspace management, which hinder the realization of its full potential [10]. - Energy supply is a critical challenge, particularly regarding battery technology that meets the high power output requirements for vertical takeoff and landing [11]. - Guangdong is proactively addressing these challenges by optimizing airspace management and focusing on key technological advancements through collaborative efforts among government, academia, and industry [11][12].
