Low-Altitude Economy in China: Opportunities, Scenarios and Challenges Ahead
China attaches great importance to the development of the low-altitude economy, which has been incorporated into national-level planning documents multiple times since 2021. In 2023, the Central Economic Work Conference designated it as a strategic emerging industry, and in 2024, it was written in the government work report for the first time and categorized as a new quality productive force. According to estimates from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the market size of China's low-altitude economy is projected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan by 2025 and 3.5 trillion yuan by 2035. Then, why is China actively developing the low-altitude economy? What are its application scenarios? What difficulties are currently hindering its development?

Robotaxi Mass Production Takes Off: Pony.ai’s Commercial Leap and Global Layout
As of Q2 2025, Pony.ai's global autonomous driving test mileage had exceeded 50 million kilometers, with fully unmanned mileage exceeding 9 million kilometers. Pony.ai is currently prioritizing the large-scale commercial deployment of Robotaxis. Once technological barriers are established, this can be rapidly transferred to Robotruck, forming a second growth curve. At present, Pony.ai still has a significant net loss, which reflects the high-investment nature of the industry. However, with the mass production of the seventh-generation model and the expansion of the fleet size (which will reach 1,000 vehicles by the end of 2025), Robotaxi revenue is expected to surge in the next two years, driving improvements in overall gross profit margins and cash flow.
