Guanshanhu's industrial output set to triple by 2025

Guanshanhu district in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, is expected to see the output of its industries above designated size exceed 38 billion yuan ($5.43 billion) in 2025 – three times the level at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20).

Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), the district has focused on electronic information manufacturing and new energy vehicles (NEVs), making industry the primary engine of economic growth.

During the period, the industrial added value growth rose from 7.6 percent in 2021 to 22.1 percent in 2024, with an average annual increase of 13.4 percent.

Industrial upgrading has accelerated. The NEV, electronic information, and eco-food industries now form a distinctive industrial system. NEV output has surpassed 250,000 vehicles annually, with total output value exceeding 27 billion yuan and accounting for over 80 percent of Guizhou's automotive industry, creating the province's largest and most complete NEV cluster.

The electronic information sector is expanding rapidly, with autonomous driving and 3D-printing firms moving in and an average annual growth rate of 103 percent. Together, electronic information manufacturing and NEVs now contribute 85.33 percent of the district's industrial output.

Industrial clusters continue to strengthen, led by major firms such as Geely in NEVs and Zhong'an Technology in electronic information manufacturing. The district has introduced 131 supply-chain enterprises and grown the number of enterprises above the designated size to 75.

The establishment of the Guanshanhu Economic and Technological Development Zone in 2024 has further boosted growth. Now accounting for over 91 percent of the district's industrial expansion, industrial zones have become the core drivers of high-quality industrial development.
