The new quality productivity, dominated by technological innovation, centered on data, and oriented towards green and intelligent development, is the core driving force for the high-end, intelligent, green and service-oriented transformation of the equipment manufacturing industry. Currently, China’s equipment manufacturing industry has entered the second stage of industrial upgrading, with digital transformation and digital intelligence application accelerating. However, it still faces prominent problems such as being constrained by core technologies, uneven digital intelligence transformation, low efficiency in factor allocation, and imperfect mechanisms and systems. This article, based on the logic of the integrated development of new quality productivity and the equipment manufacturing industry, systematically reviews the current development status, analyzes the bottleneck problems, and proposes targeted countermeasures, providing theoretical references and practical guidance for the new quality productivity to empower the high-quality development of the equipment manufacturing industry.
