China’s Anhui accelerates layout of aerospace information industry

A worker assembles a general aviation aircraft at the workshop of CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft Manufacture Co., Ltd. in Wuhu City, east China’s Anhui Province, July 3, 2025. In recent years, Anhui Province has accelerated the layout of its aerospace information industry, which encompasses low-altitude economy, commercial space, satellite applications, and deep space exploration. From booming “low altitude economy” such as drone delivery and low-altitude tourism, to the aggregation of enterprises into a commercial space industry chain, and the accelerating development of deep space exploration, Anhui further enhanced its independent innovation capabilities, and elevated aerospace information industry into a new growth pole for its economic development.
