Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – How far away is the future of "flying taxis" and express delivery arriving from the sky? At the beginning of the new year, Shanghai took the lead in accelerating this trend. On January 4th, Shanghai announced that by 2028, the core industry scale of Shanghai's low-altitude economy will reach approximately 80 billion yuan, forming a complete industrial chain system for new low-altitude aircraft, building a national advanced manufacturing cluster for the low-altitude economy, and accelerating its progress towards becoming a "world eVTOL capital" with a prominent comparative advantage.
Looking globally, domestically produced equipment is also making a strong showing! Guangdong's consumer drones have captured 70% of the global market, industrial drones account for half, and agricultural drones have flown to over 100 countries and regions, leading in sales.
Today, domestically produced aircraft are becoming increasingly cool and powerful – as of December 30, 2025, 1081 companies have completed registration, with 3623 types of products and over 5.29 million aircraft registered. According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the market size of China's low-altitude economy is expected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan in 2025 and is expected to exceed 3.5 trillion yuan in 2035.
