At the press conference of China International Big Data Industry Expo held not long ago, participants released a set of data: in 2022, the scale of China’s big data industry reached 1.57 trillion yuan, an increase of 18% year-on-year, which became an important force to promote the development of digital economy. The big data industry is deeply rooted in China’s digital economy, and it shows great resilience and vitality in the context of the current global economic slowdown.
In today’s era, digital economy has become a key force to promote profound changes in social production methods, lifestyles and governance methods. As one of the foundations of digital economy, big data industry is a strategic emerging industry focusing on data generation, collection, storage, processing, analysis and service, and it is the key support to activate the potential of data elements. The booming big data industry has made the "family" of data resources more solid and the development foundation of the digital economy more solid. The wide application of all kinds of big data products and services has provided a broader development platform for the digital economy, and the multiplier effect and multiplication effect have played an obvious role.
Historical experience shows that every major change in economic form often gives birth to and relies on new factors of production. As an important factor of production in the new era, it is a global consensus that data has become a national basic strategic resource. In 2020, the Opinions on Building a More Perfect System and Mechanism of Factor Market Allocation listed data as one of the five major factors of production. The development of big data industry has eliminated the time and space constraints in the traditional economic model, reduced the difficulty of information acquisition and analysis, made information flow between regions, units, industries and fields without barriers, shortened the process of industrial chain optimization, and promoted the comprehensive upgrading of industrial structure. At the same time, thanks to the big data industry, the administrative cost of the government and the difficulty of doing things for the people are constantly decreasing, and "one network to do it" and "one time to do it well" have become the new normal. Through big data, the development trend of economic and social indicators is clear at a glance, and the effect of policy implementation is clearly visible, which provides support for the decisions of China’s high-quality development.
Nowadays, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is booming around the world, and the new generation of information technology based on big data and the real economy are accelerating integration. At present, the development momentum of related fields in China is strong, and the application of emerging technologies based on big data industry, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital finance, 5G communication network and autonomous driving, has been accelerated, and many new products and formats such as intelligent terminals, telemedicine, online education and online payment have been cultivated. For example, the fully intelligent driving technology applied on the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway not only makes people feel refreshed, but also allows passengers to fully experience the scientific and technological achievements and enjoy the dividends of the development of the times. It can be said that the future big data industry will play an increasingly important role in promoting the growth of China’s digital economy and improving people’s living standards.
