The NDA has released 417 typical cases and identified 760 typical application scenarios involving data as a production factor across 11 industries, surpassing its target of creating more than 300 scenarios ahead of schedule, according to Luan.
In 2025, China's total volume of active data reached 1.67 zettabytes, up 28.46 percent year on year, Luan said. A zettabyte is the equivalent of about one trillion gigabytes.
The number of enterprise data products and services rose 29.29 percent from the previous year, while the transaction value of such products and services increased by 39.8 percent.
The NDA will further improve data governance, deepen scenario-based applications and enhance value creation, transforming policy dividends into development opportunities and accelerating the multiplier effect of data as a production factor, Luan said.
