National People's Congress deputy Li Lin, who also serves as Director and Deputy Party Secretary of the 513th Research Institute under the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, recently stated that the "15th Five-Year Plan" period will be a critical phase for China's commercial space sector to achieve industrialized development. He proposed further enhancing the support capacity for fundamental components and materials, expanding the industrial supply chain scale, and improving large-scale manufacturing capabilities.

Currently, China's commercial space industry is experiencing rapid growth. However, challenges remain in the foundational areas of components and materials support, including a relatively small supply chain scale with weak supporting capabilities, insufficient quality control in mass production, high development costs, and slow iteration cycles. These issues indicate a gap compared to the future demands of large-scale satellite constellation deployment.

To address these challenges, Li Lin put forward the following recommendations: First, expand the market, strengthen coordination, and optimize supply by increasing satellite investments, fostering supporting industrial clusters, and establishing dedicated research funds to build a secure and controllable modern supply chain. Second, establish standards, strengthen systems, and promote transformation by improving batch production standards and modular design, introducing digital technologies, and advancing the shift toward standardized modules for satellite and rocket products. Third, enhance efficiency, accelerate iteration, and reduce costs by breaking through bottlenecks in key components and materials, innovating development models, and paving the way for low-cost, high-efficiency, and sustainable industrialization in the commercial space sector.
