1, with different properties.
Light industry mainly refers to the industry that produces consumption materials, which is closely related to people's daily life and is the main source of consumer goods for urban and rural residents. Heavy industry is the main means of production that provides material and technical basis for all sectors of the national economy, and it is the material basis for realizing social reproduction and expanding reproduction.
2, the classification is different
According to the actual management of the industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology divides the light industry into four major fields, namely, durable consumer goods, fast-moving consumer goods, culture and art, sports and leisure goods, and light industrial machinery and equipment, with 3 1 industry. According to the nature of production and product use, heavy industry can be mainly divided into three categories: mining industry, raw material industry and processing industry.
3. The development status is different.
Since 20 17, the proportion of assets of industrial enterprises above designated size in China's light industry has been rising. By 202 1, the profits of light industrial enterprises exceeded 1.3 trillion yuan, up 3.6% year-on-year. At present, China's heavy industries include energy, steel, machinery, chemical industry and other industries, and large-scale heavy industry investment projects have started to increase significantly.

Light industry: refers to the industry that mainly provides consumer goods and manufactures hand tools. According to the different raw materials used, it can be divided into two categories:
(1) Light industry with agricultural products as raw materials refers to light industry with agricultural products as basic raw materials directly or indirectly. Mainly including food manufacturing, beverage manufacturing, tobacco processing, textile, sewing, leather and fur manufacturing, paper making and printing;
(2) Light industry with non-agricultural products as raw materials refers to light industry with industrial products as raw materials.

Heavy industry: refers to the industry that provides the material and technical basis of the main means of production for all sectors of the national economy. According to its production nature and product use, it can be divided into the following three categories:
(1) Mining (logging) refers to the exploitation of natural resources, including oil mining, coal mining, metal mining, non-metal mining, wood cutting and other industries;
(2) Raw material industry refers to the industry that provides basic materials, power and fuel for all sectors of the national economy. Including metal smelting and processing, coking and coke, chemistry, chemical raw materials, cement, wood-based panels and power, petroleum and coal processing industries;
(3) Processing industry refers to the industry that reprocesses industrial raw materials. Including machinery and equipment manufacturing, metal structures, cement products and other industries that equip various sectors of the national economy, as well as industries that provide agricultural production materials such as fertilizers and pesticides.
According to the above classification principle, the repair industry is classified as heavy industry, and vice versa.
