People's Daily: Let More Domestic Software Show off Its Skills, Over the Decade, the Software Industry Accelerates Innovation and Strong Resilience
The new generation of information technology is increasingly integrated into the entire process of various fields of the economy and society. As an important foundation for the vigorous development of the digital economy, it is timely for the software industry to grow and strengthen
Looking back at the 10-year development history of China's software industry, the industry's business revenue has grown from about 2.5 trillion yuan in 2012 to about 9.5 trillion yuan in 2021, an increase of nearly three times and maintaining a high double-digit growth rate. What is the secret behind growth?
Before 2012, in the context of the booming global information industry, China actively integrated into the global software industry chain division of labor. The demand for information technology applications in various industries was strong, and the software industry maintained high-speed growth, but remained in the middle and low end for a long time, with core software being controlled by others. With the gradual transfer of market dividends to the upstream of the industrial chain, enhancing independent innovation capabilities and accelerating the climb to the middle and upper reaches of the industrial value chain have become the only way for the high-quality development of the software industry.
In the past 10 years, anchoring innovation, upgrading and accelerating, the core competitiveness of the industrial chain has continued to improve. The ability of 3D CAD modeling continues to improve, and product performance has approached the international average level; Management software not only has an absolute advantage in market share, but also can compete with overseas manufacturers in the high-end market... A generation of tech professionals took precautions and firmly embarked on the path of technological self-reliance. Over the past decade, they have "sharpened their swords" and launched a number of iconic achievements; A group of outstanding enterprises, with their perseverance in tackling key issues, their determination to deepen applications, and their pioneering spirit in rooted industries, have forged ahead in independent innovation, promoting the comprehensive improvement of scale, quality, and efficiency in China's software industry.
In the past 10 years, despite pressure and challenges, the security and controllability of the industrial chain have continued to increase. The road to upgrading is not always smooth sailing. In the midst of storms, the domestic software industry has maintained its composure and achieved the difficult transformation of domestic databases from 0 to 1, rooting and growing in multiple industry fields. Practice repeatedly tells us that key technologies cannot be obtained, bought, or obtained. Especially in the current era where information technology profoundly influences the transformation and upgrading of various industries, and concerns the beautiful lives of millions of households, the Chinese software industry needs to firmly grasp the initiative of innovation and development in its own hands more than ever before.
Embarking on a new journey to promote high-quality development of the software industry and achieve a new leap in industrial competitiveness, it is still necessary to enhance the sense of crisis, strengthen innovation confidence, and win broader development space through research and application. On the one hand, China's basic software ecosystem is not yet mature, and industrial software is still in the climbing stage. We still need to work hard and break through core technologies to ensure the security of the industrial and supply chains. On the other hand, we also need to accelerate application promotion and product iteration maturity. Industrial software is developed based on industrial needs, and more enterprises need to open up application scenarios to domestic software in order to promote technological progress in market testing.
The tree is tall and has lush leaves, tied to deep roots. The current new generation of information technology is flourishing and increasingly integrated into the entire process of various fields of the economy and society. As an important foundation for the vigorous development of the digital economy, it is timely for the software industry to grow and strengthen. It should be noted that China has institutional advantages in concentrating efforts to accomplish great things, market advantages in a super large scale, and a relatively complete industrial system, with strong confidence and great potential for industrial innovation and development. With firm confidence and a commitment to technological self-reliance and self-improvement, the software industry is sure to shine on the path of high-quality development.
