Shanxi Ferrous Metal Smelting and Rolling: From Iron Heartland to Stainless Steel Hub
Shanxi ranks fifth nationally in crude steel output; Taigang leads globally in stainless steel capacity; private giant Jinnan Steel has crossed 10 million tonnes; the province is pivoting toward specialty steel and green transformation.
Hebei Chemical Industry Landscape: Petrochemicals, Coal Chemicals and Fine Chemicals in Parallel
Cangzhou Lingang has ranked among China's top 30 chemical parks for 12 consecutive years; Shijiazhuang's circular chemical zone exceeds CNY 220 billion in revenue. Hebei's chemical sector is navigating relocation-into-parks policy and green transition simultaneously.
Guangxi Non-Metallic Mineral Products Industry: Ceramics and Calcium Carbonate Push Through Cement Overcapacity
Guangxi's non-metallic mineral products sector rests on three pillars — cement, ceramics, and calcium carbonate — with clinker capacity ranked second nationally, while Beiliu daily ceramics and Hezhou heavy calcium are emerging as the industry's two key transformation anchors.
Jiangxi Rubber and Plastic Products Industry: Two Diverging Paths
Jiangxi's rubber and plastic products industry runs along two distinct tracks — a plastics-weaving cluster anchored in Yihuang, and a silicone materials cluster in Yongxiu — serving very different market tiers.
Hubei's Non-Metallic Mineral Products Industry: From a Century-Old Cement Plant to a Provincial Building Materials Landscape
Hubei's non-metallic mineral products industry is rooted in the limestone hills of Huangshi. Huaxin Cement, founded in 1907, remains its deepest anchor; Dangyang in Yichang hosts Central China's most concentrated building ceramics cluster; Wuhan Changli Glass integrates float glass production through deep processing. This report maps Hubei's real industrial structure and the pressures it faces today.
Henan Non-Ferrous Metal Smelting and Processing Industry: The Industrial Map of Aluminum, Lead, Zinc and Molybdenum
Henan is one of China's largest non-ferrous metal smelting provinces. Aluminum processing in Gongyi, lead-zinc smelting in Jiyuan, and molybdenum processing in Luanchuan together form a multi-metal industrial structure with national-leading positions in each segment.
Hainan Province Metal Products Industry: An Honest Industrial Absence and Limited Openings Under the Free Trade Port
Hainan is not a metal products manufacturing province. This is not a criticism but an honest description of a province anchored by tourism, petrochemicals, and tropical agriculture. This report traces the structural reasons behind the sector's small footprint and the limited presence of construction-support metal fabricators in the Free Trade Port era.
Anhui Cultural, Sports and Craft Manufacturing: The Four Treasures of the Study and the Road to Industrial Revival
What makes Anhui's cultural goods manufacturing worth studying is not scale, but two distinct trajectories — Xuancheng turning paper and brush into an all-scenario cultural consumption industry, and Huizhou's ink and inkstone finding new footing through standardization.
Jilin Province Non-Ferrous Metals Smelting and Processing: Anchored by Nickel, Flanked by Molybdenum
Jilin's non-ferrous metals industry rests on two large ore deposits — the Hongqiling copper-nickel sulfide mine in Panshi and the Daheishan porphyry molybdenum mine in Jiaohe — with Jien Nickel extending into new-energy battery materials and Daheishan Molybdenum holding Asia's second-largest single molybdenum deposit. A research-grade rare-earth materials platform in Changchun completes the picture.
Shanxi Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Cephalosporin APIs and Classic TCM Formulas as Dual Pillars
Shanxi's pharmaceutical manufacturing rests on four pillars — Sinopharm Weiqida's large-scale cephalosporin API base in Datong, Yabao's pediatric niche dominance from Yuncheng, Guangyuyuan's five-century intangible heritage TCM brands, and Zhendong's painful restructuring — set against the backdrop of China's richest northern medicinal herb resource base.
Sichuan Ferrous Metal Smelting and Rolling: Industrial Gravity Shifting in a Vanadium-Titanium Co-deposit Landscape
Sichuan's steel industry is anchored by Panzhihua's vanadium-titanium magnetite reserves. Pangang-led deep processing of vanadium and titanium now surpasses traditional steelmaking as the new growth pole, while the province's electric furnace short-process share leads the nation—marking a pivotal shift from crude steel volume expansion to high value-added transformation.
Guangxi Rubber and Plastics Manufacturing: Liuzhou's Tire Supply Chain Meets Nanning's Plastic Packaging
Guangxi's rubber and plastics industry divides into two distinct tracks — Liuzhou attracts tire giants like Linglong to serve its concentrated auto industry, while Nanning and the Beibu Gulf coast host scattered plastic packaging and pipe manufacturers serving local construction and consumer markets.
