Gansu Industrial Map
The landscape of Gansu's manufacturing industries — leading firms, supply-chain structure and geographic distribution.
Gansu's Chemical Raw Materials and Chemical Products Industry: A Chemical Belt That Grew Along Its Resources, From Lanzhou's Refining to Jinchang's By-Products
Gansu's chemical raw materials and chemical products industry is not spread evenly but grows in clusters anchored to specific resources: Lanzhou extends from old-line refining into fine chemicals and new chemical materials, Jinchang links Jinchuan Group's smelting by-product sulfuric acid and chlorine into a three-acids-two-bases cycle, Baiyin's Yinguang supports a polyurethane link through TDI, and Yongjing's Liujiaxia makes fertilizer from natural gas and coal chemistry.

A Study of Gansu's Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — Two Parallel Lines, From a Thousand-Year Medicine Land to a Single Vaccine
Gansu's pharmaceutical manufacturing rests on two lines that barely intersect: a Long medicine system rooted in the authentic herbs of Dingxi and Longxi, and a biologics system anchored by the Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products. This report maps their geography, leading players and chain structure, while honestly stating the gap between a resource-rich province and its weak manufacturing middle.

A Study of Gansu's Cultural, Educational, Art-Craft, Sporting and Recreational Goods Manufacturing — An Industry Held Up by Four Handicrafts
The modern-manufacturing side of this sector in Gansu is thin; what truly holds it up are a handful of deeply rooted folk crafts — Tao inkstones, Qingyang sachets, Linxia brick carving and Tianshui carved lacquer. This report maps their distribution, leading players and degree of industrialization, and states the limits of public data honestly.

Gansu's Petroleum, Coal and Other Fuel Processing Industry: A Western Refining Hub Anchored by One Refinery, and Three Energy Veterans Each Shifting Gears
Gansu's fuel processing industry has one dominant pole reaching in four directions—Lanzhou Petrochemical, the largest refiner in western China, anchors refining and ethylene in the capital; Qingyang in the east extends from the birthplace of Changqing Oilfield into light-hydrocarbon deep processing; Yumen in the Hexi Corridor, cradle of China's oil industry, turned to new energy after its reserves ran dry; and Huating in Pingliang processes coal into methanol and polypropylene.

Gansu's Apparel and Accessories Industry: A Small Ethnic-Goods Trade Built on a Prayer Cap
Gansu's apparel and accessories sector barely registers nationally. It has no garment cluster of any scale and no recognized brands. What is worth a closer look is a thread few notice: around Linxia, ethnic special-need goods—prayer caps and prayer mats—quietly hold most of the national market and reach more than twenty countries.

Gansu's Textile Industry: A Century-Old Wool-Spinning City and a Stretch of Fine Wool Below the Qilian Mountains
By output, Gansu's textile industry barely registers nationally; its value-added has even dipped slightly in recent years. But move your gaze from output to the two ends of the chain and a forgotten lineage appears: China's earliest machine wool mill stood in Lanzhou, where only one of six old mills still weaves, while the Hexi Corridor below the Qilian Mountains remains a national fine-wool base. This report maps a textile sector built on wool spinning and rooted in fine wool.

A Study of Gansu's Printing and Recording Media Reproduction Industry — A Northwest Printing Map Held Up by One Publishing Group
Gansu's printing and recording media reproduction industry has long been described as small, scattered and weak, yet it is firmly anchored by a single publishing-media group. This report works outward from the Reader Publishing Group, mapping the institutional foundation of its book and textbook printing, its green-printing-base attempt at transformation, and the real limits of its market-driven packaging and cigarette-pack segments.

Gansu's Leather, Fur, Feather Products and Footwear Industry: A Northwest Hide-and-Wool Corridor from Pastoral Raw Skins to a Silk Road Dry Port
Gansu's weight in this industry lies not in shoemaking but in the early-stage processing and distribution of cattle and sheep hides and wool. Using the Guanghe leather-and-wool cluster, the trading traditions of Sanjiaji and Zhangjiachuan's Longshan, the pastoral raw materials of Gannan and Linxia, and the export channel toward Central and West Asia as threads, this report sets out a small but clearly structured northwest hide-and-wool industry.

Gansu Food Manufacturing: How an Inland Province Turns a Bowl of Noodles, a Lily Pastry and a Bottle of Olive Oil Into Finished Goods
Gansu's food manufacturing is not the story of first-stage processing but of carrying raw materials several steps further into named, packaged finished goods: Lanzhou deconstructing a hand-pulled noodle bowl into pre-packaged dough cakes, broth and seasoning sachets; Qilihe and Yuzhong turning fresh lilies into frozen lily, lily pastry and lily paste; Linxia's Bafang making halal beef, mutton and groceries into export-oriented ethnic specialty foods; Longnan's Wudu pressing olives into edible o…

Gansu's Agricultural and Sideline Food Processing: A Western Primary-Processing Map Built on One Potato, One Red Bull, One Basket of Apples and One Root of Medicine
Gansu's agricultural and sideline food processing is not the orderly granary-style industry of a great plain, but several puzzle pieces forced apart by nature: Dingxi's potato starch and wide noodles, the cattle slaughtering and cutting of Pingliang and Zhangye, Jingning's apple and juice processing, the herbal-material primary processing and warehousing of Longxi and Minxian, and the flour and corn starch of the Hexi Corridor. Each grows beside the local raw material it does best, does its pri…

A Study of Gansu's Tobacco Products Industry — From the Lanzhou Cigarette Factory to a Northwest "One Company, Two Sites" Model
Gansu's tobacco products industry is bounded by the state monopoly system, with its entire manufacturing side resting on one industrial entity — Gansu Tobacco Industry — and two cigarette factories in Lanzhou and Tianshui. This report maps its institutional backdrop, its one-company-two-sites structure, the Lanzhou brand and a cross-provincial restructuring, while honestly stating the limits of public data.

Gansu's Waste Resource Recovery Industry: The Urban Mines of Two Mining Cities, Jinchang and Baiyin
Gansu's waste resource recovery industry grows on the legacy of two mining cities: Jinchang turns the two hundred million tonnes of solid waste left by nickel-cobalt smelting into eight comprehensive-utilization chains, while Baiyin, a resource-exhausted city, rebuilds an urban mine from recycled non-ferrous metals and scrapped batteries. This report traces the belt's origins, leading firms and transition challenges.
