  • Drone industry in south China’s Guangdong powers country’s low-altitude economy

Guangdong — China’s manufacturing powerhouse — is now dominating the skies with advanced drones.

Ninety five percent of the country’s consumer drones and more than half of its industrial drones are made in Guangdong, powering China’s command over the global market. Backed by the 15th Five-Year Plan for national socioeconomic development in the 2026-2030 period, Guangdong is not only making drones, but also shaping the future of China’s low-altitude economy.

Every day from 10:30 in Guangdong’s tech hub of Shenzhen City, drones take to the skies from Qianhai to deliver parcels to neighboring cities Zhongshan and Zhuhai.
