Twelve Five Composite Growth Rate of Information Services Industry Will Be 25%

The information service industry has become one of the fastest growing, most technologically intensive and profitable industries in China's economic development. The “12th Five-Year Plan” period is a crucial period for the transformation of the global information service industry. It is expected that China’s information service industry will experience a compound growth of around 25% during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, which is also an important strategic opportunity for the accelerated development and enhancement of China’s information service industry. period.

Opportunity: Accelerate integration and create space for development

The new generation of information technology and communication technologies accelerate integration, and cloud computing, the Internet of things, and the mobile Internet are booming. The application and integration of information and communication technologies has penetrated into all areas of economic and social life, and will foster numerous new industrial growth points for the entire industrial belt. To a broader space for innovation and development.

-- Opportunities for industrial transformation and development. The development of the information service industry to network, platform, and service will drive the industry into a transitional stage. New hotspots and new models in the Internet service industry continued to emerge, driving the transformation of traditional service industry operating models. The wireless, broadband, and terminal integration, intelligence, and diversification of transmission have further promoted the diversification of the telecommunications service industry. The continuous advancement and application of information technology has promoted the rapid emergence of new areas such as cloud computing, mobile Internet, and the Internet of Things, further stimulating new forms of industry and business models.

-- Opportunities for industrial integration. The integration strategy of China's informatization and industrialization has provided broad prospects for accelerating the application of information technology, and has laid a solid foundation for the long-term rapid development of the domestic information service industry. With the deepening of the integration of the two industries, the penetration of the information services industry into the industry gradually moves from the periphery to the core, bringing greater changes to the content and form of the service industry, further strengthening the core support and high-end leading role of other industries, and will fully drive The development of information services. The triple play strategy will also accelerate the structural adjustment and business transformation of the information service industry, generate new business forms, and open up new space for the development of various innovative services in the information service industry.

-- Development of opportunities for environmental optimization. The "Decision of the State Council on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries," and "Some Policies to Further Encourage the Development of the Software Industry and the Integrated Circuit Industry" have become new boosters for industrial development, and will be further improved in various policies such as taxation, investment, and financing. Strong support. The next-generation information technology industry such as next-generation mobile communications, next-generation Internet, Internet of Things, high-end software, and cloud computing has become an important part of the country's strategic emerging industries. Zhongguancun, Wuhan Donghu High-tech Zone and other national independent innovation demonstration zones will be tested first in equity incentives, equity investment, loan risk compensation, innovation and entrepreneurial tax incentives, innovative product first-time purchases and purchases, and will also further stimulate corporate vigor.

-- Opportunities for international market development. After nearly a decade of cultivation, domestic software and information services with independent intellectual property rights have the ability to enter the international market. The next five years will be a crucial period for China's information service companies to enter the international mainstream market. China's software industry scale has increased from 62.1 billion US dollars in 2006 to 230 billion US dollars in 2011, accounting for the proportion of the world's software industry has increased from 1.2% in 2000 to 18% in 2010; in 2011, China's offshore service outsourcing The implementation amounted to US$23.8 billion, which accounted for about 23% of the global offshore outsourcing market. However, large outsourcing demand from developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan was not released, and demand from emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia was continuously gestating. The huge capacity of the international market provides an adequate stage for China’s information service companies to “go global”.

Challenge: Hard and soft, content service lags behind

While China’s information service industry faces rare opportunities for development, it will also face severe challenges.

- The industrial structure is not reasonable enough. The development of China's information service industry is still in its infancy. From the perspective of the composition of the information service industry, communications, software, and Internet services still account for a large proportion of the total information service industry, while radio and television transmissions, digital content, etc. account for a relatively small proportion in the information service industry, causing serious problems. From the perspective of regional structure, the development of China's information service industry is relatively concentrated. Compared with the economically backward western region, the development of the information service industry in the eastern region is much faster, and there is a serious imbalance in regional development.

- Inadequate infrastructure support. In terms of broadband infrastructure, China's per capita penetration rate in 2011 was only 11.4%, and the average per-Mbps access rate cost was 3-4 times the average level in developed countries. In addition, the actual download speed of broadband networks in China is only the global average. Half of it is obviously inconsistent with China's economic status, and the problem of family broadband's widespread urban-rural disparity is also growing. With the rise of technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing, the performance of broadband will become the key to the rapid development and deep application of China's information service industry.

- The development of the content service industry lags behind. The information content service industry is an important support for the future development of the information service industry. Compared with the rapid development of the developed countries in recent years, the information content service industry in China still lags behind the application and development of information technology, and the current stage of economic and social development is not Adapted. In the process of information construction, there is a ideological tendency of "hardness, lightness, weakness, and softness," and there is no deployment of information resources to the core content. In addition, the people’s copyright awareness is weak and piracy is serious, which hinders the innovation and development of China’s information service companies.

- International competition is becoming increasingly fierce. From an international point of view, not only the United States, Western Europe, India, Japan and other traditional information service countries have stepped up their deployment, but more and more emerging countries have also supported the information service industry as a key industry. At present, high-tech, high value-added, and highly profitable information technology service products in China's domestic market are mainly monopolized by foreign companies. Domestic companies are generally small in scale, lack of independent innovation, and high product homogeneity. Most products are still in the market. The low-end of the industrial chain, product price war, shortage of talents and other issues are more serious. In the new round of fierce competition, especially in the case of fierce competition for development resources of strategic emerging industries, China's information service industry needs to run faster.

During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, China’s national economy and social development will still be in an important period of strategic opportunities. Industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization will continue to advance. Modern service industries and strategic emerging industries will become important in driving economic development. The approach, which also indicates that the information services industry will also be in an important strategic opportunity period. The current situation should be based on China's national conditions, create a sound industry, market, and policy environment, and take multiple measures to develop the information service industry to further promote the stable, healthy, and rapid development of China's economy and society.
