According to the latest report on the development of China's data industry released by the conference, the scale of China's data industry will reach 6.78 trillion yuan by 2025, a year-on-year increase of 15.7%. As of August 2026, a total of over 126000 high-quality datasets have been built nationwide, with a total data volume of over 1815PB, an increase of over 89% compared to March 2026. The scale of the data industry continues to grow rapidly.
Liu Liehong, Director of the National Data Administration, introduced that efforts will be made to accelerate the construction of a national integrated data market, promote the improvement of the responsibility system for the development and utilization of public data resources, and deeply implement a new round of action plans for the construction of six high-quality datasets, including strong foundation expansion and annotation challenges. Efforts will be made to form a virtuous cycle of scenario driven data, data-driven models, model empowerment applications, and application value creation.
The current domestic scene for calling lexical elements is greatly expanding, and market demand is showing explosive growth. The National Data Bureau will guide various regions to explore and cultivate diverse entities to participate in the lexical element industry ecosystem. During the 15th Five Year Plan period, the demand for data from artificial intelligence will continue to grow, opening up new space for the development of the data industry. AI native data technology and industrial innovation will accelerate breakthroughs.
Wang Wei, Director of the Data Resources Research Department of the National Institute of Data Development, stated that from an overall trend perspective, China's data industry will continue to maintain rapid growth. By the end of the 15th Five Year Plan period, it is expected that the annual compound growth rate of the data industry scale will exceed 15%, the industry scale will exceed 10 trillion yuan, and the comprehensive strength will be significantly enhanced.
From 'showing off skills' to' working '
Frontier achievements showcase new scenarios of digital economy
This year's Data Expo will be open to the public from today and will continue until the 30th. What are the highlights of the on-site data expo?
At the Data Expo, many companies brought more intelligent and experiential cutting-edge achievements. The selection of these exhibits is not simply about "showing off skills". Behind every seemingly easy action, there is a hardcore test of the comprehensive ability of robots.
The four interactive formats of sugar painting, coffee, ice cream, and popcorn set up in the exhibition area allow visitors to fully experience the standardized services provided by robots throughout the entire process from ordering, production to product delivery. The completion of these actions requires robots to have high-precision flexible operation capabilities, while understanding human creative intentions and converting them into precise motion trajectories.
At present, the application scenarios of robots are not only in the commercial field, but also have more practical applications in the field of people's livelihood. The AI health care robot, which was exhibited for the first time at this year's Data Expo, showcased the practical solutions of embodied intelligence in the field of health care.
A group of innovative enterprises deeply involved in the field of digital economy also made a concentrated appearance at this year's Data Expo, constantly linking upstream and downstream industrial chains and accelerating the large-scale implementation of scenarios. This year's Data Expo will last until August 30th, during which more than 70 achievements will be released, 26 industry exchange activities will be held, an industry cooperation platform will be built, and the deep integration of digital technology and industry will be promoted.
