National Informatization Development Report: Two-thirds of prefecture-level cities have reached gigabit broadband, and the total number of 5G base stations has reached 4.838 million.

Kuai Technology reported on July 25 that today the Cyberspace Administration of China released the latest "National Informatization Development Report (2025)", which disclosed a number of core industry data in China's digital economy over the past year. The overall performance far exceeded the market's previous expectations. According to clear statistics in the report, in 2025, the added value of China's core digital economy industries will account for more than 10.5% of GDP, and the total revenue of the digital industry in full accounting will reach 39.6 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8.8%, outperforming the average growth level of the real economy in the same period. In addition to the outstanding performance on the industrial side, the total scale of China's residents' digital consumption has also climbed to 25.3 trillion yuan in 2025, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8.7%. Digital-related consumption has become one of the core driving forces for the growth of residents' daily consumption. The rapid growth of both digital industry and digital consumption is inseparable from the continuous improvement and upgrading of domestic network infrastructure. In the past year, the effect of making up for shortcomings and speeding up domestic information infrastructure has been very significant. By the end of 2025, the total number of 5G base stations built in my country has reached 4.838 million, and two-thirds of prefecture-level cities across the country have reached the construction acceptance standards for gigabit cities. The breadth and depth of high-speed network coverage continue to expand. The number of active IPv6 users has also climbed to 869 million, and the popularity of new generation network protocols has exceeded the previous planning pace. In 2025, the indicators in the three dimensions of domestic digital industry, digital consumption, and information infrastructure will improve simultaneously, laying a mature industrial soil for the subsequent large-scale implementation of the domestic AI industry and computing power industry, and laying a very solid foundation for the long-term high-quality growth of the digital economy. Previous data provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also showed that in terms of access speed, broadband users with 100 Mbps and above have become the absolute mainstream, with a total number of 662 million households, accounting for 95.5% of all users. This means that the vast majority of Chinese families have completely bid farewell to the era of low-speed Internet access. In the higher-level gigabit broadband field, the number of users with access speeds of 1,000Mbps and above has climbed to 245 million. This number represents a net increase of 6.37 million households compared with the end of last year. Among the total users
