Shanxi province has unveiled the "Action Plan for Enhancing Capacity and Quality in the Service Industry (2026-2030)", aiming to drive high-quality, efficient development in the service sector and support Shanxi's overall transformation.

The plan details 29 specific tasks including technological services, digital intelligence, lifestyle offerings, scenario expansion, and brand development.

The Action Plan aims to reach key milestones by 2028, such as creating replicable models that combine advanced manufacturing with modern services. Moreover, consumer services are expected to develop into high-quality, diverse, and convenient options, promoting new digital and integrated service formats and scenarios.

By 2030, the plan envisions marked improvements in the quality and efficiency of the service industry, with rapid growth in service R&D investment and innovation outcomes. The goal is to cultivate leading enterprises in niche service markets and develop competitive service brands. The province's service industry added value is expected to surpass 1.8 trillion yuan ($266.73 billion), forming a new, efficient, and high-quality service system.

To facilitate the execution of these tasks, the province will strengthen coordination among provincial, municipal, and county departments and cultivate third-party professional service agencies. Efforts will also focus on deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern services, creating 50 provincial integration pilot sites.

Shanxi will fully integrate into the national market, eliminating unreasonable standards and restrictive measures in the service industry, while ensuring public safety in cultural tourism, dining, and densely populated areas.
