One is the steady and rapid growth of industrial production. In April, the value added of the industrial enterprises above designated size nationwide increased by 9.8% year-on-year. Affected by the accelerated resumption of work and production in the same period last year, the growth rate dropped by 4.3 percentage points from March. Compared with the same month in 2019, the industrial added value of the regulations increased by 14.1%, and the two-year average growth rate was 6.8% (based on the corresponding period in 2019 and calculated using the geometric average method), which was 0.6 percentage points faster than that in March. In terms of the three categories, the manufacturing industry increased by 10.3%, and the two-year average growth rate was 7.6%, 1.2 percentage points faster than that in March; the mining industry and the electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply industries increased by 3.2% and 10.3% respectively. The average annual growth rate was 1.7% and 5.1% respectively.
Second, more than 90% of industries have increased year-on-year. In April, 37 of the 41 major industries grew year-on-year, with an industry growth rate of 90.2%, and this year has continued to maintain above 90%, of which more than one-third of the industries have double-digit growth. Compared with the same month in 2019, 34 industries achieved growth, and the industry growth rate reached 82.9%, which continued to remain above 80%.
Third, the equipment and high-tech industries continue to grow strongly. In April, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry and high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 13.1% and 12.7% year-on-year respectively; from the two-year average growth rate, they increased by 11.2% and 11.6% respectively, which were 3.0 and 0.1 percentage points faster than that in March, respectively. 4.4 and 4.8 percentage points higher than all regulated industries. In terms of major industries, in April, the electrical machinery, metal products, pharmaceutical manufacturing, general equipment, electronics, and special equipment industries increased by 22.6%, 21.0%, 19.0%, 14.9%, 10.4%, and 10.2%, respectively. The number growth; the automobile industry grew by an average of 6.7% in two years, 2.3 percentage points faster than in March. From the perspective of main products, in April, new energy vehicles maintained a doubled year-on-year growth, with industrial robots and photovoltaic cells increasing by 43.0% and 45.6% respectively; the two-year average growth of electronic products such as microcomputers and integrated circuits and electrical equipment products such as optical fibers and optical cables Both speeds reached double digits.
Fourth, the growth rate of the consumer goods industry has accelerated. In April, the added value of the consumer goods manufacturing industry increased by 7.6% year-on-year, 0.2 percentage point faster than in March; the two-year average growth was 4.1%, 0.1 percentage point faster than in March. Among them, driven by factors such as the substantial increase in the demand for vaccines and other medical supplies, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry continued to achieve rapid growth, with an increase of 19.0% in April, an acceleration of 2.8 percentage points from March; the two-year average growth rate reached 11.7%, which was significantly higher than others. Consumer Goods Industry. In addition, furniture manufacturing and cultural and educational supplies both increased by more than 20% year-on-year, which also played a strong role in stimulating the growth of the consumer goods industry.
Fifth, the growth of industrial exports accelerated. In April, the delivery value of industrial exports above designated size increased by 18.5% year-on-year, 2.6 percentage points higher than that in March, and the two-year average growth rate was 9.5%, 0.2 percentage points higher than that in March. Industrial exports continued to grow rapidly. From an industry perspective, in April, the export delivery value of the top ten industrial export industries all achieved double-digit rapid growth. Among them, the export growth of special equipment, automobiles, chemicals, metal products and other key industries has accelerated significantly compared with March. On average over the two years, the export of the electronics industry increased by 11.8%, 0.9 percentage points faster than that in March; the export of the pharmaceutical industry increased by 41.0%, which was significantly higher than that of other industries.
On the whole, industrial production has continued a good momentum of stable recovery, but it must be noted that the current external uncertainties are increasing, the epidemic situation in neighboring countries has deteriorated, the pressure of rising prices of bulk commodities has been highlighted, and the supply chain security risks of the industrial chain have increased. The foundation for the stable recovery of the industrial economy is not yet solid. In the next step, we should continue to take effective measures to deal with the rapid rise in commodity prices and its associated effects, ease the cost pressure of enterprises, continuously improve the level of technological innovation, and strive to enhance the independent controllability of the industrial supply chain, and further consolidate the stable recovery of the industrial economy. Foundation to promote the dynamic balance of supply and demand.
