BEIJING, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Digital transformation will significantly increase Chinese manufacturers' overall competitiveness and accelerate productivity growth, a report showed.
With digital transformation, China's manufacturing productivity can achieve annual growth of 6.5 percent over the next 15 years, bridging its productivity gap with developed countries in the next 20 years, according to a report released by consulting firm McKinsey & Company Friday.
Of the 130 Chinese manufacturers polled, 76 percent believed that the "Industry 4.0 strategy" will increase their competitiveness, leading to revenue and cost improvements of at least 15 percent.
The number surpassed the 57-percent and 50-percent of their American and German counterparts, indicating higher level of optimism of Chinese manufacturers over what an industrial upgrade could bring.
The so-called "Industry 4.0 strategy," similar to China's "Made in China 2025" plan, promotes digital-enabled operational transformation to elevate the manufacturing sector up the value chain.
Despite Chinese companies' willingness for industrial upgrades, many are still not ready to implement the strategies, according to the report.
Only 57 percent of Chinese firms polled said they're prepared for digital transformation, compared with 71 percent in the United States and 68 percent in Germany.
"One of the biggest challenge for Chinese manufacturers is their lack of a systematic approach to implementing such initiatives," said Arthur Wang, partner at Mckinsey & Company.
