Agency: China's low-altitude economic development has a good industrial chain foundation
The 2025 First International Low-altitude Economy Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) from July 23 to 26. Guangdong Securities believes that the low-altitude economy industry chain involves multiple links such as manufacturing, services, and consumption, and China's low-altitude economic development has a good industrial chain foundation. Driven by policies and rapid iteration of industry technology, the low-altitude economy index will outperform the market in 2024, and will remain relatively high in the first half of 2025. In the low-altitude manufacturing link, my country's drones have a leading advantage and eVTOL development is quite bright. The infrastructure construction link has a "low base and large space", and is accelerated under the dual promotion of the central and local governments. The application operation link is at a critical stage of benchmark scene creation and demonstration pilot construction, and cultural tourism, logistics, etc. are expected to be implemented first. The scale of the low-altitude economy industry is growing strongly. Guangdong Securities estimates that the overall scale of the domestic low-altitude economy is expected to reach 1.6 trillion yuan in 2027. Galaxy Securities believes that 2025 is expected to be the first year for the commercial application of low-altitude economy, and the construction of infrastructure such as air traffic control systems and take-off and landing fields will be accelerated. The Rail Transit Control System Company has a technical extension foundation in low-altitude airspace management and can quickly enter the low-altitude economic field. Since 2024, it has launched low-altitude products such as flight control computers, air traffic control systems, and smart take-off and landing fields, and achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1 in low-altitude business, and is expected to build a second growth curve.

The largest single deal: UAE companies purchase Chinese "air taxis" for $1 billion
Today, the UAE company Autocraft signed a purchase agreement with Shanghai Shi Technology Co., Ltd. in Xinzhuang Industrial Zone, spending US$1 billion (about RMB 7.1 billion) to order 350 E20 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) independently developed by Shi Technology. This amount far exceeds the RMB 3.5 billion intention order record set by similar domestic models in February 2025, setting a new record for the amount of a single order in China's eVTOL field. It is understood that the E20 adopts a tilt-rotor configuration and pure electric drive, can carry 5 people to achieve a range of 200 kilometers, and its five-blade propeller design reduces the vertical take-off and landing noise to about 70 decibels (equivalent to an ordinary car), and is almost imperceptible on the ground during cruising, providing an innovative solution for urban green three-dimensional transportation. At present, the airworthiness certification application of this model has been accepted by the East China Civil Aviation Administration and has entered the conformity verification stage. It is expected to complete certification and mass production and put on the market in 2027.
