News from this site on August 9th. This morning (August 9th), the State Council Information Office held a press conference. Assistant Minister of Commerce Tang Wenhong and relevant persons in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism introduced " "Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Service Consumption" and answered reporters' questions. This site learned from the live broadcast on the official website of the State Council Information Office that Chang Tiewei, head of the Department of Employment Income Distribution and Consumption of the National Development and Reform Commission, mentioned that in recent years, service consumption models, formats, and scenarios have been constantly innovating. From the perspective of development opportunities and trends, Look, there are generally three positive factors: First, people's yearning for a better life brings about demand for upgraded service consumption. The transformation of residents' consumption from physical consumption to service consumption is an important manifestation of consumption upgrading. In the first half of this year, my country's service consumption expenditure accounted for 45.6% of per capita consumption expenditure, an increase of 1.1 percentage points year-on-year. Judging from international experience, when per capita GDP exceeds the US$10,000 mark, the process of consumption upgrading will generally accelerate significantly. Currently, China's per capita GDP has exceeded US$12,000. As income levels increase, With the expansion of the middle-income group and the expansion of service consumption, it is expected to further accelerate the expansion and upgrading of service consumption. Second, changes in demographic structure contain innovative momentum for service consumption. Last year, the urbanization rate of my country's permanent population reached 66.2%. It is still in a period of rapid urbanization development. The urbanization of the agricultural migrant population will bring about consumer demand for education and training, elderly care, and residential services. Young consumers such as “Generation Z” have gradually become the main consumers. Cycling, skiing, camping, and watching performances are increasingly popular for self-pleasure and immersive experience. Service formats such as meal assistance for the elderly, home assistance for the elderly, and elderly care are also gradually enriched, which not only help the elderly and their children solve urgent, difficult and anxious problems and improve their quality of life, but also create new opportunities for service consumption. Finally, technological innovation creates new supply of service consumption. At present, the scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are accelerating, and new technological means are constantly emerging. Service robots for food delivery, education, and medical care are constantly being iteratively upgraded. In the first half of the year, the output of service robots increased by 22.8% year-on-year. New models such as "Internet +" medical services and digital education have developed steadily, and new business formats such as e-sports, social e-commerce, and live streaming e-commerce have grown rapidly, providing consumers with richer, more diverse, and more convenient consumption choices.
The above is the detailed content of National Development and Reform Commission: In the first half of 2024, the output of service robots will increase by 22.8% year-on-year, and service robots such as food delivery, education, and medical care will continue to be iteratively upgraded..
