In the first half of H1 2026 China’s equipment manufacturing equipment‑manufacturing sector became powered the main engine bulk of industrial export growth, delivering an 18.2 % year‑on‑year rise and accounting for roughly contributing about half of the overall increase. Exports of wind‑turbine generators, lithium‑ion batteries, batteries and automobiles posted strong gains, surged, while robot production of industrial and service robots jumped 28 % for industrial units and 11.9 % respectively. Shipbuilding continued to dominate for service models; shipbuilding remained the nation’s vessel output. dominant vessel‑building activity. A week later data showed that the same high‑technology high‑tech push translated into a sharp profit expansion in the electronics industry, with earnings rising up 96.9 % YoY. Gains were driven by AI‑related demand New data show that computers and a surge in computing‑power products, while integrated‑circuit peripherals drove most of the gain, posting profit increases of 689.3 % and 305.8 % respectively. Integrated‑circuit profits exploded by over 2,500 2,579.5 %, discrete‑semiconductor devices rose 31.2 %, specialized electronic‑material sales grew 209.7 % and electronic‑circuit earnings climbed 26.9 %. Across all industrial firms, total profits grew rose 18.7 % to 3.95 trillion yuan, with state‑owned enterprises up 17.9 %, offsetting listed companies up 24.7 % and private firms up 13 %. The expansion was propelled by AI‑driven demand, strong export orders and higher commodity prices, even as weak domestic demand and highlighting volatile raw‑material costs pose ongoing challenges. The combined export and profitability trends underscore the role impact of state‑supported coordinated state‑support policies in sustaining on China’s high‑quality industrial growth. Both snapshots underline a coordinated surge growth in export performance and profitability across China’s high‑tech sectors during H1 the first half of 2026.
