本IDC 陈述报告描述了中国制造行业IT 2021年十大预测。报告为制造企业的高管提供了在未来的60 个月内制造业IT 及其IT 所支持的业务发展趋势，报告标识了这些预测发生作用的未来时间和受影响的业务领域，以及相对的复杂性和成本。每个预测包括IT 对业务的影响和对于制造企业的行动指南。
2020年新冠疫情"黑天鹅"事件使得制造业遭受重大打击，尤其是离散型制造，由于供应链中断使得生产停滞。以汽车制造为例，在疫情头几个月，中国汽车的产销大幅下滑。与此同时，中美贸易摩擦并未停滞，美国政府对中国半导体、电子行业的贸易限制，也使得中国制造企业备受压力。
一边是疫情的全球肆虐，一边是中美贸易摩擦的持续升级。在此严峻的外部挑战之下，中国政府出台了"新基建"、"双循环"等政策，以应对经济下行压力，助推制造业复苏。我们也可以看到，一批新业态、新模式应运而生，并从根本上颠覆传统的工作模式、生产模式。
"展望未来，中国制造业的机会和挑战并存。从宏观上看，制造业IT投资将进一步提高，新技术、新模式将在业务落地的过程中将不断迭代更新，以适应不断变化的市场。基于AI的风险决策，能提供决策指导和洞察；机器视觉和增强/虚拟现实（AR/VR）将场外的专业知识延伸到现场，可以减少现场工作人员数量；分布式供应链网络将降低价值链意外中断的风险。另外，跨生态系统的运维中心将提高运营效率，缩短产品上市时间。"——IDC中国制造业高级研究经理张兰英表示。
...本报告是IDC FutureScape全球医疗健康行业2021年预测的中国启示，报告提供了2021-2026年间医疗健康行业技术发展路线图，包含10项健康行业发展前沿的预测并融合了针对中国市场的观点看法。每项预测都包括该预测内容成为市场"主流"的时间和实现该项预测的复杂性评估，以及该预测对于IT方面的影响，并为技术买家提供了采用和部署这些技术的建议，可供中国医疗健康行业的各领域，如医疗、医保、医药、健康管理、生命科学等领域的机构和企业在制定发展战略和数字化转型策略中参考。
