The country has fully deployed the trillion-dollar market for emergency industries

The emergency industry is an industry that people are both familiar with and unfamiliar with: It is familiar because it is a huge industry that involves more than a dozen fields that people are familiar with, such as equipment, materials, medicine, and light industry; It is strange because it belongs to the camp of emerging industries. Today, this industry is becoming another gold mine for private capital.

On December 24, the State Council officially issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Emergency Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") and pointed out that it is necessary to form a system of emergency industries by 2020, and assigned a number of key tasks to various ministries and commissions.

The scale of the emergency industry is enormous. According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the production value of special products and services in the fields of national security emergency and emergency equipment in 2013 reached a scale of nearly RMB 1 trillion.

Researcher of the Ministry of Industry Economic Research of the Development Research Center of the State Council, Wei Jigang, told the reporter of the “Daily Economic News” that after the country’s specific deployment of emergency industry development, the scale of the output value of the emergency industry will further expand and show a relatively high growth trend. . At the same time, the emergency industry will have a strong driving force for upstream and downstream industries and related industries and will form new economic growth points.

Large span, wide coverage and strong driving

According to the "Statistical Communique on Social Service Development in 2013" published by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in 2013, natural disasters in China caused a total of nearly 390 million person-times in the country. The direct economic loss caused by the disaster was 580.84 billion yuan.

With the development of China’s economy, social progress and public safety awareness, the demand for emergency products and services from all parties in the society has continued to grow. The emergency industry has also shown great development potential.

“The emergency industry is a pioneering industry, and its rapid development will drive the quality and efficiency of the service and manufacturing industries and form a new economic growth point.” Wei Jigang cited examples such as the emergency logistics industry, which includes procurement, Warehousing, packaging, distribution, distribution, and even follow-up recycling, etc., have a strong driving effect on the upstream and downstream industries.

Wei Jigang said that the emergency includes not only after-the-fact emergencies, but more importantly, prior prevention, which is included before and after the disaster. "Everyone, every industry, every organization, and every region has emergency needs," he said.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2013, the output value of special products and services in the fields of firefighting, security, safety and emergency response, information security, emergency communications equipment, anti-terrorism equipment, and food safety monitoring equipment reached a scale of nearly one trillion yuan. Wei Jigang believes that the emergency industry spans a large area and covers a wide area. After the deployment at the national level, the country will have a relatively high growth rate in the future and the industrial scale will further expand.

It is worth noting that the emergency industries in existing areas have begun to develop soundly. "Daily Economic News" reporter learned from the website of the Sichuan Science and Technology Department that the current earthquake warning technology has formed an innovative chain structure from scientific and technological research to commercial production, sales and service, which will help Sichuan Province accelerate the development of emergency industries and find a new one. Growth point; sales revenue of earthquake warning products in 2013 was 6 million yuan, and in 2014 it was 15 million yuan. With the understanding of the earthquake warning system, the product is expected to have an annual output value of over 100 million yuan.

“In some countries, emergency relief has become the fourth largest industry after finance, insurance, and telecommunications,” said Yu Youmin, chief of the psychological department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ emergency rescue efforts.

Encourage and guide the participation of social capital

Although the emergency industry has great potential for economic pull, it cannot be overlooked that at present, there are still problems in China's emergency industry such as unsound system, insufficient market demand, and slow development of key technology and equipment.

Wei Jigang said that the previous emergency measures were mostly government-led and the degree of marketization was not high. Therefore, the next step is to develop in a market-oriented, socialized, and large-scale manner, which will produce a variety of business models and business models.

In this regard, the "Opinions" also specify the key directions, including monitoring and early warning, that is, to improve the timeliness and accuracy of monitoring and early warning of various types of emergencies, and to focus on the development of emergency products for monitoring and early warning; prevention and prevention, that is, focusing on improving individuals and The safety and reliability of facility protection shall focus on the development of preventive and protective emergency products; and the disposal and rescue shall focus on improving the efficiency and professionalism of the disposal of emergencies, and shall focus on the development of emergency rescue and rescue products; emergency services shall focus on the improvement of emergencies. The incidents prevent the disposal of socialized service levels and innovate emergency service formats.

These major directions are undoubtedly the focus of future industrial development. It is understood that companies such as the emerging Jihua Group, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and China North Industries Group are currently working on the emergency industry. In early November, the emerging heavy industry under the Emerging China Group plans to invest 4.86 billion yuan in the deployment of equipment manufacturing projects, manufacturing service projects, and regional headquarters projects in Wuhan to build new energy and emergency rescue industrial clusters.

In addition, in order to promote the development of the emergency industry, the "Opinions" explicitly increase the financial and taxation policy support, improve the investment and financing policies and other five policy support. And assigning key work tasks to more than a dozen ministries and commissions, the level of national attention is evident.

In the specific division of labor among ministries and commissions, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation will implement and improve the taxation policies applicable to the emergency industries. Departments such as the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission are responsible for encouraging financial capital, private capital, and entrepreneurial and private equity investment to invest in the emergency industry, and supporting qualified emergency industry companies to issue stocks, bonds, etc. , Direct financing in the domestic and foreign capital markets.

The China Banking Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will guide the financing guarantee agencies to increase their guarantees for emergency industry enterprises that meet industrial policies, qualifications, and regulations. The central bank and the China Banking Regulatory Commission will increase their credit support for major emergency industrial projects that have advanced technology, obvious advantages, and strong support and support.

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Finance and related departments will also use special funds for the development of SMEs to support the development of small and micro enterprises in the emergency industry.

In addition, the Ministry of Land and Resources supports construction of major projects for emergency industry development under the premise of conforming to the national industrial policy and overall land use planning.
