Industries in Hubei province

Hubei, the birthplace of modern industry in China, is one of the important old industrial bases and one of the three largest steel bases in China. It has established a distinctive industrial system, including pillar industries such as automobiles, iron and steel, petrochemicals, food processing, equipment manufacturing, electronic information and textiles. Furthermore, the province is strong in the metallurgical industry, hydropower, shipbuilding and logistics.

Due to its central location in China, Hubei also has clear regional transport advantages. The provincial government is upgrading Wuhan to a modern city. The goal is to build a national logistics hub city with a good layout of modern logistic parks and distribution centers for both domestic and overseas markets.

Hubei has a well-developed market distribution system. Wholesale markets at production and selling areas are scattered all over the province, connecting millions of small domestic productions with large, changeable markets.
