热点思考 | 设备投资，能否“持续高增”？（申万宏观·赵伟团队）

Group 1 - The core argument is that the high growth in equipment investment is not primarily driven by the "Two New" policies or the manufacturing Juglar cycle, but rather by strong investment in broad infrastructure and the service sector [1][8][69] - Equipment investment growth is significantly higher in sectors such as construction (65.5%), narrow infrastructure (46.1%), public utilities (16.5%), and services (13.9%) compared to manufacturing (6.5%), contributing an additional 8.1 percentage points to overall equipment investment [1][8][69] - In 2025, manufacturing investment growth is expected to decline to 1.9%, while equipment investment is projected to maintain high growth at 12.2%, driven by digital infrastructure and energy infrastructure [1][8][69] Group 2 - The strong growth in equipment investment is fueled by the establishment of a modern industrial system, which enhances digital infrastructure, alongside natural renewal cycles and recovering travel demand, thus boosting narrow infrastructure and construction equipment investment [3][24][69] - Key sectors such as software and computer services are experiencing growth rates of 53%, while aviation and road transport equipment investments are also high, correlating with a 17.9% year-on-year increase in civil aviation passenger transport [3][24][69] - The acceleration of energy transition and infrastructure investment in central and western regions, particularly since the intensification of the "dual carbon" policy in 2021, has led to a significant increase in public utility equipment investment [3][31][69] Group 3 - Fiscal policies have increased research spending and improved travel chain demand, leading to a notable rise in service sector equipment investment, which has outpaced construction investment since 2023 [4][40][69] - The growth rate for service sector equipment investment reached 13.9% in 2024, while construction investment only grew by 2.8% [4][40][69] - The recovery gap in service sector investment is estimated to be around 2-3 trillion yuan, indicating a strong potential for future growth in this area [4][56][69] Group 4 - Equipment investment is expected to continue its high growth into 2026, supported by both domestic and external demand chains [5][69] - Narrow infrastructure investment is anticipated to rebound significantly, particularly in digital infrastructure and hub-related investments [5][46][69] - The "dual carbon" policy is expected to further drive investment in equipment for carbon reduction, including modifications in high-energy-consuming industries and investments in renewable energy [5][51][69]
