The drone is the industry with the largest number of enterprises and the largest talent gap in the low-altitude economy. According to the data of the "2024 China Low-altitude Economy Industry Research Report", as of August 2024, the total number of enterprises in the low-altitude economy industry is 13,343, and the total number of key enterprises in the industry is 626. The consumer-grade drone ranks first with 2,400 enterprises, followed by the industrial drone with 899 enterprises.
The Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Li Chunlin, mentioned that according to the calculations of the relevant departments, the current employment gap for drone operators in China is as high as 1 million people. In the article "Living in a Gap of 1 Million Talent Shortage for Drone Pilots and Worrying about Career Directions", Workplace Bonus conducted an in-depth interpretation of the "pilot" profession.
It is also worth noting that the aerospace information industry.
At the end of June, Tianbing Technology's Tianlong III suffered a launch failure due to technical errors; in September, Huawei's Mate70 series was released, and this series of mobile phones launched the satellite paging function for the first time, which is particularly suitable for remote areas or environments with poor signals; on October 13, SpaceX's "Starship" successfully completed its fifth test flight challenge... As the future of global information dissemination, the entire aerospace information industry shows a spiral upward trend.
The demand for talents in the aerospace information industry is characterized by high salaries and high requirements. Taking the Chengdu-Chongqing region as an example, according to the data of the "Urgent-needed Talent Catalogue for the Aerospace Information Industry in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle", the top three shortage positions in Chongqing are communication R & D engineers, satellite navigation system designers, and baseband algorithm design engineers. The top three shortage positions in Sichuan are satellite process engineers, base station engineers, and antenna system engineers.
In terms of salary, the annual salary of positions in the Chengdu-Chongqing aerospace information industry is mainly concentrated in the range of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan (accounting for 33.3%), followed by the range of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan (accounting for 29.6%). From the perspective of specific positions, the salaries of communication R & D engineers, simulation application engineers and other positions are generally high, with an average annual salary of more than 450,000 yuan.
What is different from other industries is that the entry threshold of the aerospace information industry is relatively high. According to the "Catalogue", 30% of the positions in the aerospace information industry in the Chengdu-Chongqing region require a master's or doctoral degree, and the positions requiring more than 3 years of work experience account for 51.8%.
[1] Three licenses: namely Type Certification (TC), Standard Airworthiness Certificate (AC), and Production License (PC). EHang Intelligent Technology obtained the Type Certification (TC) on October 13, 2023, the Standard Airworthiness Certificate (AC) on December 28 of the same year, and the Production License (PC) on April 7, 2024, becoming the world's first eVTOL enterprise with all three licenses in place.
● Robots: Humanoid robots and embodied intelligence are the key points
In January 2024, Elon Musk posted a video on a social platform showing a Tesla-developed "Optimus" humanoid robot folding a shirt by itself, officially kicking off a year of rapid advancements in robots.
Humanoid robots are constantly evolving. On April 27, the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center released the world's first pure electric-driven humanoid running full-size humanoid robot "Tiange", which can run stably at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour.
The industry is shifting towards intelligent driving. The progress of humanoid robots and the emergence of OpenAI have presented an opportunity for those who aspire to give robots a "brain" earlier.
Correspondingly, enterprises have begun to recruit a large number of relevant talents.

The lucrative humanoid robot industry has also attracted major manufacturers to actively lay out. When many core component enterprises and leading Internet manufacturers are involved in the scuffle, automotive manufacturers are not willing to fall behind. In April, Chery showcased a bipedal robot named Mornine. On November 15, Changan Automobile announced its technical layout and future plans in the relevant field. On November 6, XPeng Motors released the new AI humanoid robot Iron. Automotive manufacturers have provided more choices for job seekers in this field, and the explosive entry into the robot field this year may represent a new employment trend.
In fact, the choices of automotive manufacturers are traceable.
The International Federation of Robotics (IFR) stated in its latest "World Robotics Report" released on September 24 that approximately 4.28 million robots are operating in factories worldwide, with a year-on-year growth of 10%. The annual installation of industrial robots has exceeded 500,000 for the third consecutive year, and China has become the world's largest consumer of industrial robots and has remained the largest industrial robot market globally for 11 consecutive years.
The price of Chinese robots has reached a new low, and industrial robots have been applied to the production line in a milestone manner. On May 13, Unitree Robotics launched the second-generation humanoid robot G1 in Hangzhou, with a starting price set at 99,000 yuan. On November 5, UBTech Robotics collaborated with BYD to apply humanoid robots and unmanned vehicles in a factory, achieving the last 10 meters of unmanned logistics and realizing true unmanned logistics. The feasibility of robot replacing manual labor is beginning to be recognized by the public.
As the industry upgrades, the demand for talents, especially high-end talents, in the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly urgent. The "Manufacturing Talent Development Planning Guidelines" show that the supply and demand ratio of robot industry talents in China is 1:10, and the talent gap in the industrial robot industry is about 3 million, which is expected to reach 4.5 million by 2025.
The demand for high-end talents in the robot field is prominent, such as talents in robot R & D and algorithm design. At the same time, talents with skills in traditional fields such as machinery, electronics, and automation are also in short supply. The required working years for talents are mainly 5 - 15 years, with majors mainly in Computer and Technology, Mechanical Design, Manufacturing and Automation, and a master's degree or above.
The robot field has a shortage of specialized talents, and the average annual salary is close to 360,000 yuan, with a high salary increase for core critical positions job-hopping reaching 30 - 50%.
The application of robots is accelerating, and in addition to industrial robots in scenarios such as automotive companies, service robots and special robots are also being applied in more and more new fields.
The healthcare, pet robots have become a new direction for the growth of home service robots. Underwater robots, sweeping robots and drones have the largest number of new invention patent applications in the industry, accounting for 26.75%, 20.49% and 18.28% of the total new applications in the past six months, respectively. Shenyang SIASUN Robot & Automation Co., Ltd. and Baidu jointly promote the development of healthcare robots.
