Exploring the New Blue Ocean of Low-altitude Economy: An Empirical Analysis of Industrial Status Quo and Technological Innovation References

Abstract

Low-altitude economy, as an important component of the modern economic system, is becoming a new engine for promoting high-quality regional development and industrial upgrading. The low-altitude economy industry, centered on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), general aviation, and air traffic management, not only significantly enhances the efficiency of traditional industries but also gives rise to new business forms such as low-altitude tourism, urban air mobility (UAM), and smart logistics, forming a trillion-yuan market scale. According to statistics, the scale of China's low-altitude economy has exceeded 500 billion yuan in 2023, and it is expected to drive an industrial chain value of over 2 trillion yuan by 2030. The development of low-altitude economy is deeply in line with the national strategy. By unleashing the potential of low-altitude airspace resources, optimizing regional transportation networks, and promoting the integration of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing, it provides brand-new solutions for the coordinated development of urban agglomerations and rural revitalization. The breakthrough in this field is not only a technological revolution, but also a comprehensive test of institutional innovation, industrial collaboration and social governance capabilities. Its significance has risen to the dimensions of national competitiveness and economic security. Therefore, based on the perspective of the development of low-altitude economic industries in Guangdong and Guangxi, this paper conducts research and analysis on the current cognition status and future development trend of the low-altitude industries of the people in Guangdong and Guangxi.
