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。
