Hailing Industrial Park, a key economic hub in Hailing district, Taizhou, is focusing on developing three dominant sectors — high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials, and next-generation information technology — as it seeks to build a modern industrial system, according to Liu Wei, deputy director of the park's administrative committee.
In high-end equipment manufacturing, the park targets smart home appliances and new energy sectors. The smart home appliance cluster, comprising 20 enterprises, has achieved a 12.7 billion yuan ($1.78 billion) output, forming a complete ecosystem from component production to complete machine manufacturing. Meanwhile, the new energy sector, with five leading companies, surpassed 11.3 billion yuan in scale, becoming a growth engine.
The new materials industry aggregates six midstream core producers, with three high-performance fiber firms driving technological innovation and enabling industrial chain expansion.
Though still in its growth phase, the next-gen IT sector has attracted four enterprises and generated 500 million yuan in revenue. Notably, 360 Security Group's establishment in May will strengthen digital transformation capabilities across cybersecurity, AI, and enterprise services.
Looking ahead, the park will align with China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) goals of intelligence, green development, and industrial integration. By prioritizing innovation, industry-city synergy, and low-carbon transitions, it aims to create a competitive advanced manufacturing ecosystem and sustain regional economic vitality.
