The 15th Five-Year Plan sets the tone: Coolingstyle chillers will help the manufacturing industry achieve low-carbon and high-quality development.
In October 2025, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was successfully held in Beijing. The meeting reviewed and adopted the “Proposals of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development,” formally setting the tone for the overall direction of China’s economic and social development from 2026 to 2030.
Main goals of socio-economic development:
Significant achievements in high-quality development
Greatly improved level of technological self-reliance
New breakthroughs in further comprehensive and in-depth reforms
A marked improvement in the level of social civilization
Continuous improvement in people’s quality of life
New and significant progress in building a beautiful China
A more consolidated national security barrier
Manufacturing sector highlighted again: The main battleground for high-quality development has begun.
The 15th Five-Year Plan clearly states the need to build a modern industrial system and consolidate the foundation of the real economy. This means that China’s development focus will continue to be on manufacturing—but no longer on traditional scale competition, but rather on achieving breakthroughs in three dimensions: intelligentization, greening, and integration. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s forecast, by 2030, the scale of my country’s intelligent manufacturing equipment industry will exceed 5 trillion yuan, and the incremental market brought about by the digital transformation of manufacturing is still being released rapidly.
“High-quality development” in manufacturing is not just about upgrading equipment, but also about systemic technological innovation. From automation to intelligent manufacturing, from energy conservation and emission reduction to precise temperature control, every small improvement in efficiency could become a competitive advantage in the next five years.
As a high-tech enterprise with over a decade of experience in temperature control technology, Coolingstyle is a practitioner of this era’s direction. The company’s independently developed series of miniature DC inverter chillers integrate core technologies such as intelligent temperature control algorithms, R290 environmentally friendly refrigerant, and ±0.01℃ precision control. These technologies enable stable, research-grade cooling in a smaller form factor, providing reliable temperature control support for high-end equipment in fields such as lasers, semiconductors, and medical imaging.
Technological self-reliance and self-improvement: From “application innovation” to “core breakthroughs”
The plenary session pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and lead the development of new-quality productive forces. This is a further upgrade of China’s science and technology strategy following the “innovation-driven development” proposal in the 14th Five-Year Plan.
Scientific and technological self-reliance is not simply about “independent manufacturing,” but rather about the deep integration of technology, data, and industry, moving from original innovation and breakthroughs in key core technologies. In this process, the localization level of “key small components” such as chillers, temperature control systems, sensors, and electronic control modules directly affects the reliability and international competitiveness of high-end equipment.
Coolingstyle Through long-term R&D investment and patent accumulation, the company has achieved several breakthroughs in areas such as micro DC inverter compressor technology, phase change energy storage temperature control modules, and intelligent monitoring systems, providing a real-world example for promoting the localization of core equipment components.
These “hidden champion” enterprises are precisely the backbone of the “specialized, refined, and innovative” industries emphasized by the state, representing a profound transformation from “Made in China” to “Created in China.”
Green Transition: Making “Carbon Efficiency” a New Competitive Advantage
The 15th Five-Year Plan specifically proposed accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and building a beautiful China.
Green and low-carbon development is no longer just an environmental issue, but a competitive dimension that enterprises must face. The International Energy Agency (IEA) points out that improvements in industrial energy efficiency will contribute 38% to global carbon emission reductions, meaning that “energy efficiency” is becoming a key indicator for measuring corporate competitiveness.
In the field of temperature control, the energy efficiency, refrigerant type, and control algorithm of a refrigeration system directly affect overall carbon emissions. Coolingstyle was the first to adopt R290 natural refrigerant and, through a combination of inverter compressors and intelligent load matching algorithms, achieved energy consumption reductions of over 30%, saving approximately 3,000 kWh of electricity per unit per year. This not only aligns with the national “dual carbon targets” but also brings long-term economic and brand value to customers.
Expanding domestic demand and servitization of manufacturing: from equipment to solutions
The plenary session proposed adhering to the strategic focus of expanding domestic demand and promoting a virtuous cycle between consumption and investment. For the manufacturing industry, this signals a shift “from selling equipment to selling solutions.”
In the next five years, manufacturing enterprises will no longer be merely “producers,” but should become “service providers”—offering customers full lifecycle operation and maintenance, data monitoring, energy-saving diagnostics, and intelligent upgrade services.
Coolingstyle We are providing customers with real-time monitoring, fault warning and energy consumption analysis services through remote communication, enabling each chiller to have the ability to “think online”, and truly realizing the transformation from “product output” to “intelligent temperature control service output”.
The stability of the real economy underpins the progress of China’s modernization.
From the 14th Five-Year Plan to the 15th Five-Year Plan, the core logic of China’s economy is gradually shifting from “high-speed growth” to “high-quality development.” This shift presents both challenges and opportunities for the manufacturing industry—only by adhering to technological innovation, green manufacturing, precise management, and intelligent upgrading can it secure a foothold in the new landscape over the next five years.
Coolingstyle believes that every degree of precise temperature control is a small step forward for Chinese manufacturing towards high quality. When innovation, green practices, and intelligence are integrated, the next five years for Chinese manufacturing are worth looking forward to.
