A research report released by CITIC Construction Investment highlights that the low-altitude economy, recognized as a national strategic emerging industry, demands a more systematic and forward-thinking policy framework. This is crucial to tackle core challenges, such as fragmented airspace management and inefficient approval processes. In terms of infrastructure development, there is an urgent need to expedite the rollout of a robust physical infrastructure network while advancing the construction of digital infrastructure and intelligent management systems tailored for low-altitude operations.
New aircraft types, particularly those centered around electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) technology, are identified as a pivotal area for industry advancement. Achieving this will require overcoming technological hurdles, strengthening the industrial supply chain, and accelerating the pace of commercialization.
Looking to the future, as institutional and technological innovations continue to deepen, infrastructure improves, and application scenarios expand, the low-altitude economy sector is anticipated to experience robust growth. This will inject fresh vitality into the development of high-quality productive forces.
