Core Viewpoint - The research highlights the significant potential and challenges faced by Guangdong's traditional industries in their transformation towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, referred to as the "three integrations" [2][5]. Group 1: Current Status of Traditional Industries - Guangdong's traditional industries are described as the "ballast stone" for building a modern industrial system, with over 400 major industrial products and more than 160 products ranking first in national output [8][10]. - Key sectors such as food and beverage, textiles, and home appliances show strong performance, with the textile and apparel industry cluster reaching a scale of 2.86 trillion yuan and an annual output exceeding 4 billion garments [12][14]. - The automotive and petrochemical industries are also progressing, with automotive production reaching 1.3134 million units in the first half of 2025, including 431,000 new energy vehicles [15][16]. Group 2: Transformation Progress - Over 44,000 industrial enterprises in Guangdong have completed digital transformation, accounting for nearly 60%, with a digital management penetration rate of 88.2% [18]. - The adoption of artificial intelligence is highlighted, with examples such as Guangzhou Zhijing Technology's "Find Fabric God" reducing fabric search time from two days to two minutes [20][21]. - Guangdong leads in the number of green manufacturing demonstration units, indicating a clear low-carbon development path [21]. Group 3: Challenges in Transformation - The research identifies several challenges, including insufficient motivation for transformation among enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises facing a "four deficiencies" problem: lack of technology, talent, experience, and trial-and-error capability [28]. - The service ecosystem for transformation is not well-developed, with a shortage of industry-savvy service providers and insufficient collaboration within the industrial chain [30][32]. - There is a need for optimization in industrial structure, as some sectors face overcapacity in low-end production while lacking high-end materials and products [35]. Group 4: Policy Recommendations - The research group proposes seven strategies to facilitate the transition from passive to active upgrades in traditional industries, including optimizing the development environment and enhancing policy frameworks [39][41]. - Emphasis is placed on strengthening innovation-driven initiatives, supporting new technology and process development, and improving intellectual property protection [43]. - Recommendations also include enhancing the service ecosystem, providing customized transformation solutions, and promoting collaborative development through leading enterprises [46][48].
