It has profited greatly from the input and feedback of 25 leading experts on China's digital platform economy. We would especially like to thank participants at a MERICS workshop in September 2019, where experts from government, industry, and research institutions provided valuable feedback on our preliminary findings. Special gratitude goes to the MERICS publications team, namely Alexandra Hinrichs (graphics), Mary Hennock (copy editor) and Fiona Bewley (project manager) for their con- siderable support in improving this study. We are greatly indebted to Mikko Huotari, the Executive Director of MERICS, who has helped to shape and refine the project. We would like to acknowledge the valuable support of our intern, David Lenz, in finalizing this report. And, last but not least, we would like to thank the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWI) for supporting the project. While everyone mentioned above has helped to improve our report, the authors bear sole responsibility for any remaining errors. Rebecca Arcesati, Anna Holzmann, Yishu Mao, Manlai Nyamdorj, Kristin Shi-Kupfer, Kai von Carnap and Claudia Wessling June 2020 MERICS REPORT | June 2020 | 7 Executive Summary CHINA’S DIGITAL PLATFORM ECONOMY WILL DETERMINE ITS INDUSTRIAL FUTURE China’s leadership has set an ambitious deadline to become a superpower in science and technology innovation by the 100th birthday of the People’s Republic in 2049. The digitali- zation of industrial production is central to their ambition. Digital platforms in the manu- facturing sector are considered crucial to upgrade industry, improve productivity, optimize resource allocation and increase employment. Other countries can benefit, especially Germany, with its strong industrial base and rich experience in the realm of “Industrie 4.0”. German companies like Siemens, SAP and Bosch are already engaged in China’s emerging digital industrial platforms economy. However, European actors must brace themselves for challenges. The competition is on: China will be a major contestant in the “battle for industrial data”, as EU Commissioner Thierry Breton recently coined the new phase of digitalization, in which Europe hopes to gain a stronger foothold after being outperformed by US and Chinese tech companies. CHINA’S PUSH INTO THE DIGITAL PLATFORM ECONOMY China is investing heavily to become a leader of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; spending China is investing on IT technologies reached CNY 2.6 trillion (EUR 337 billion) in 2018, research and advisory heavily to become firm Gartner has estimated. Software and data center systems accounted for CNY 250 billion a leader of the (EUR 32 billion) of this. Government policy pressure will see more companies invest in the Fourth Industrial Internet of Things. Market observers estimate that China will account for one third – 4.1 Revolution billion – of global Industrial IoT connections (IIoT) by 2025. Chinese digital industrial platforms are starting to compete on a global level. One of the most important is INDICS, set up by China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation Lim- ited (CASIC), a state-owned missile manufacturer under direct central government control. Two other corporate giants have set up increasingly influential platforms: Haier, the appli- ances and electronics manufacturer, and Alibaba, the internet retail giant. THE STRATEGIC CONTEXT: DIGITAL PLATFORMS ARE CONSIDERED CRUCIAL FOR INDUSTRIAL MODERNIZATION China’s promotion of the digital platform economy sits within an ecosystem of major pol- icy initiatives, Internet+, Made in China 2025 and China Standards 2035, an effort to stan- dardize cutting-edge technologies, e.g. AI, cloud computing, IoT and big data. The digital platform drive combines corporate initiatives from China’s internet giants with the state-led push to integrate traditional industries using advanced information and communication technology (ICT). The scarcity of advanced manufacturing in China is a key reason for the gulf between in- dustrial digitalization and flourishing consumer oriented service platforms such as vid- eo-sharing hub TikTok, the e-commerce portal Taobao and Tencent’s WeChat ecosystem: the enterprise-on-cloud rate in China was only 30.8 percent in 2018, compared to 50 percent in the US and 73 percent in Germany, all reported for 2018, according to a Chinese survey. MERICS REPORT | June 2020 | 8 Government targets aim to remedy these deficiencies: policymakers want to see one million companies “go cloud”, a crucial prerequisite for utilizing digital platforms. Bold targets to foster platform development include the establishment of one leading global digital indus- trial platform, 10 cross-sectoral platforms and 300,000 industrial apps by 2020. Policymak- ers’ top-down approach combines ambitious, regularly adjusted targets with selected pilot projects to pressure industrial and ICT actors to fulfill policy goals. The Chinese government sets targets on all levels Key policy goals to develop industrial internet platforms 1 MILLION 10 ALL LAYERS OF new companies with cross-sectoral industrial platforms THE IoT STACK cloud-based platforms & 1 million by 2020, final list released in Industrial Apps benchmark applications by 2025 August 2019 (300,000 by 2020) Standards (upgrade to IPv6, 3 – 5 push for NB-IoT, ≥ 10 security internationally competitive platforms standards at various levels) by 2025, with 300,000 participating ID resolution system

While marketers have been ‘the voice of the customer’, businesses must be structured in a way that enables collaboration across all functions – whether a CMO or CCO is at the center of that shouldn’t matter to truly serve that purpose. Strategic alliances and ecosystems leaders can and should play a key role in ensuring appropriate and beneficial collaboration. • Monitor market shifts. Track market trends as well as alliance and ecosystem developments in Asia. Companies are identifying and addressing current business gaps and GTM approaches that could create future competitive forces or provide success models for other markets. • Continue to evaluate all alliance and ecosystem business opportunities and approaches to success with key partners.

    How IoT is transforming the industrial ecosystem Market drivers, the changing industrial landscape and strategic considerations Introduction IIoT: Industrial as an IoT application The Internet of Things (IoT) will affect broad portions of the manufacturing process in large and significant ways. – Industrial Ethernet has been around since early 2000, but products like field devices remain unconnected or provide only one-way communication. – Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) features two-way communication: Data is fed up to controller level (and to the Cloud in the future), but feedback is also provided to devices. Introduction A host of considerations When—and how—to introduce IIoT into manufacturing environments is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Discover industry challenges driving Explore factors contributing to the demand to implement IIoT solutions changing industrial ecosystem Examine device- and connectivity-level Review relevant factors while opportunities for introducing IIoT navigating the changing landscape Where are we now? Technology development Sensors are widely used in the manufacturing environment. But while their use will become more widespread, the ability to connect and transmit more data faster and with improved integrity will be the true enabler of IIoT. 90 90 Discrete control and visualization 80 80 Encoders 70 70 Industrial robots 60 60 Mobile assets Motor controls 50 50 Motors, generators and turbines 40 40 Process control and instrumentation 30 30 Pumps and compressors 20 20 Sensors Switchgear 10 10 2016: 99M IIoT 2021: 252M IIoT devices shipped devices shipped Where are we now?
