China's Low-Altitude Economy: Scaling Toward a Multi-Billion Opportunity
China's 15th Five-Year Plan marks a turning point for low-altitude aviation, elevating it for the first time to the status of an emerging pillar industry. The scale of the opportunity is already evident: in 2025, the sector reached US$220 billion in market value, supported by more than 100,000 companies operating across the value chain.
China's policy roadmap sets a clear trajectory ahead. A largely established standards system by 2027, followed by more than 300 internationally compatible standards by 2030, laying the regulatory groundwork for global market integration.
For international companies, this represents a narrow but significant window to enter one of China's fastest-growing industrial ecosystems. EAC supports clients with precise market access strategies, policy interpretation, and direct access to Chinese OEMs and operators shaping this space.
