“Jinan launched ten hundred billion industrial revitalization plan”, “Changsha manufacturing industry formed five hundred billion industrial clusters”, “Suqian issued a three-year action plan for 100 billion level industries”…

In the work reports and development plans of local governments, “100 billion industry” has become a high-frequency hot word. 100 billion industry is the “vanguard” of local economic development, but also the “backbone” of modern industry. Over the past 20 years, hundreds of billions of industries have blossomed throughout the country, supporting the title of China’s “world factory”.

Whether a region can cultivate hundreds of billions of industries is closely related to the industrial base, industrial clusters, employment population and policy environment of the region. Behind the hundreds of billions of industries, there are vivid faces of economic livelihood, and also hidden the password of China’s manufacturing industry upgrade.

Hundreds of billions of industries are being chased everywhere, so how many billions of industries are distributed in the big and small cities of our country? How did these billion-dollar industries come into being? In order to cultivate 100 billion industry, what plans have local governments made and what efforts have they made? Manufacturing is the foundation of a country and the foundation of a strong country. Exploring the development law behind the 100 billion industry has important practical significance and guiding role.

To this end, the Securities Times reporter consulted more than 500 statistical almanac covering the top 100 GDP cities (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan cities, the same below), sorted out the 100 billion manufacturing industries of each city one by one, and outlined the “map of China’s 100 billion industrial cities” – 184 billion industries emerged in 62 cities, distributed in 26 industries. The total value of the 100 billion industry is more than 40 trillion yuan.

Under this “map”, the leader, the counterattacker, the methodology, and the path map are presented one by one.

Panorama: 62 cities with 184 billion industries

As early as 2000, the total output value of Shenzhen’s computer communication electronics industry reached 113.6 billion yuan, which is the first 100 billion industry in the country. After joining the WTO in 2001, China’s manufacturing industry ushered in a dividend period of up to 20 years, and hundreds of billions of industries around the country also witnessed blowout growth.

For local governments, the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size exceeds 100 billion, which is not only an upgrade of economic volume, but also a symbol of better development quality, and an important goal of economic development across the region.

How many billions of industries are distributed in the big and small cities of our country? In June, the release of the 2022 statistical yearbook in major cities is coming to an end, and industrial data around the country is being updated. Securities Times reporters summarized the statistical yearbook data of the top 100 cities in the country with GDP in 2022, and the results showed that according to the data of industrial enterprises above designated size in 2021, there are 62 cities in the country with 184 billion industries, and the total value of 100 billion industries is 40.87 trillion yuan. It accounts for 31% of the total revenue of industrial enterprises in the country (see “List of 100 billion industrial cities” attached at the end of the article).

Among the 62 cities, the top 20 cities have a total of 118 billion industries, with a total value of 30.45 trillion yuan, accounting for 75% of the total value of the 62 cities (Table 1). It can be said that the distribution of billions of industries in the top 20 cities shows the main outline of the national pattern of billions of industries.
