During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), Taizhou Port Economic Development Zone has seen improved industrial scale, enhanced economic growth, enterprise vitality, and a burgeoning sci-tech innovation ecosystem — all fruit of its high-quality development.
During the five-year period, Taizhou EDZ developed a "1+2" modern industrial system, with the automotive and auto parts industry as the leading sector, and the big health and emergency equipment manufacturing industries as the supporting sectors. The zone has cultivated 96 industrial enterprises above designated size, 16 foreign-invested enterprises, and 24 enterprises invested by listed companies.
It has also prioritized steady economic growth.

Public fiscal budget revenue hit 899 million yuan, up 41.80 percent from 634 million yuan in 2021. The zone also signed 273 projects worth over 100 million yuan each, broke ground on 88 of those projects, and completed 76 of them.
With a commitment to innovation-driven development and technological upgrades, the zone has nurtured 49 provincial-level specialized and sophisticated enterprises and six national-level "little giant" enterprises.
