In 2024, the low-altitude economy has elevated to the national strategy in China and become an important strategic emerging industry. The essence of developing low-altitude economy is to develop and utilize low-altitude airspace as natural resources such as land and water sources. The three dimensions of developing and utilizing low-altitude resources include low-altitude transportation, near-ground services, and low-altitude manufacturing.


Currently, a wave of low-altitude economy is sweeping across the country, and 2024 is regarded as the first year of low-altitude economy in China. As an emerging industry, the low-altitude economy is influencing our lives with its unique advantages. From convenient transportation networks to efficient drone logistics, and even intelligent industrial and agricultural operation platforms, it demonstrates the infinite possibilities of the low-altitude economy. With the increasingly improved technological innovation and policy support, the low-altitude economy is becoming a new economic growth point. However, in this heat wave, we should maintain a calm and rational attitude. We should promote the steady progress of this emerging industry based on the objective laws of national strategic goal and its development, so as to make it truly become a powerful support for the sustained prosperity of the national economy.
