Front-page Coverage of Anhui Daily The Output value of Manufacturing Industry in Huainan Surpasses That of Traditional Coal and Electricity Industry for the First Time

In 2025, the industrial value of Huainan’s manufacturing sector above designated size accounted for 51.4 percent of the total industrial value above designated size, marking a significant shift away from the previous “dominance of coal industry pattern”. In recent years, Huainan has adhered to the principle of “development relying on industry and strengthening the city through manufacturing sector”, promoting a leap from “manufacturing” to “smart manufacturing”. Emerging industries such as new energy vehicles and components, new materials, and high-end equipment manufacturing have accelerated their growth. Projects like Skywell Automobile, Yinglian Information, and Saint Deem have been successively put into production. The growth driven by technological innovation rose rapidly, with the added value of equipment manufacturing industry above designated size increasing by 32.3 percent year-on-year in 2025, ranking first in Anhui. At the same time, Huainan has deepened cooperation with Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, strengthened full-cycle services and policy support, established a ten-billion-yuan industrial guidance fund, and promoted the integration of industry and talent. Also, the government has simplified approval processes, proactively provided services, cultivated a good industrial ecosystem, and provided solid support for the transformation of resource-based cities.
