On June 18th, the Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Development and Reform Commission, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Finance, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Commerce jointly released the "Hunan Province Lithium Battery and Advanced Energy Storage Materials Industry Three-Year Action Plan (2024-2026)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The plan aims to consolidate the advantages of the entire industrial chain, accelerate the technological layout of new battery such as solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells, etc., as well as next-generation energy storage materials, and build a lithium battery and advanced energy storage material industry system with characteristics and advantages of Hunan Province.
Hunan Province (located in the central-southern part of China), one of China’s most comprehensive lithium battery and energy storage material supply chains, has established a fully integrated industrial chain system covering "mineral materials-energy storage materials-battery cells-terminal applications-battery recycling". It possesses distinctive advantages in the field of cathode materials. Data shows that in 2023, the revenue of Hunan Province's lithium - battery and advanced energy - storage material industry was approximately 110 billion yuan ($15.3 billion), ranking first among the six central provinces.
According to the plan, relevant departments in Hunan Province will promote the coordinated development of four major sectors: advanced energy storage materials, battery cells manufacturing, terminal applications integration, and battery recycling, aiming to build a "four-in-one" industrial system. Efforts will be made to strengthen the core leading area of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan, elevate Chenzhou as a growth hub, build three industrial supporting areas in Changde, Yueyang, and Yongzhou, and construct a spatial layout of "one core, one pole, and three auxiliaries". Efforts will also be made to focus on technology, resources, projects, enterprises, markets, etc., with six major actions implemented to double the industry's scale, while driving the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of the lithium battery and advanced energy storage materials sector.
The plan proposes that in the next three years, the operating revenue of the lithium battery and advanced energy storage materials industry in the province should strive for an average annual growth rate of 10%, and the industry scale will exceed 150 billion yuan ($20.65 billion) by 2026. Additionally, it aims to cultivate 1-2 leading enterprises with global competitiveness, and add 2-3 ten-billion-level enterprises and 5-8 billion-level enterprises.

In this five-year period, Hunan will foster more than 10 enterprises with their respective import and export value exceeding 100 million USD, and about 300 ones with their respective imports and exports reaching one million USD. A group of service trade providers with strong international competitiveness will be formed. There will be more than 10 service trade parks and featured service export bases, and more than 10 service trade promotion platforms up to international standards and at multiple levels. In 2025, the total import and export value in service trade will hit 60 billion yuan, with an average annual increase of 16%.
A service trade development layout featuring “one core, two poles, and multiple areas” is planned. The “one core” refers to the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan core leading zone; the “two poles” are Yueyang and Chenzhou cities; and, the “multiple areas” include featured service clusters in other cities and prefecture. Beyond that, efforts will be made to reinforce traditional markets while exploring the markets along the Belt and Road and under the RCEP agreement.
The plan put forward six major missions, including continuing to improve management system; constantly optimizing business structure; giving priority to fostering market participants; innovating development pattern; expanding opening up and operation; and, optimizing service trade supervision mechanism.

Industry is the lifeblood of Hengyang’s economy and the pillar of development. Being a white hope, it has played a vital role in the economic construction of South Hunan. It’s also an essential and dominant element to accelerate the advancement of economy and society.
As a result of economic slowdown and the removal of inflated growth in the past, industrial growth of Hengyang has fallen sharply since May over the last year. Confronted with the severe situation, municipal Party committee and government have made joint efforts which has achieved a stable economic rebound. For instance, a scheduling meeting of industrial and economic operation was held; series of policies and measures were unveiled to stabilize industrial growth; the connection between banks and enterprises was promoted to help enterprises with the difficulties of financing, employment and sale. The added value of scale industry increased by 8.9 % in September, and an annual increase of 9.5% expectedly.
At the beginning of a new year, Hengyang has met its new start for development.
The policy of accelerating new industrialization, municipal Party committee indicates in the meeting that, we should highlight structure adjustment; vigorously develop strategic emerging industry such as the manufacture of advanced equipment, electronic information, biological medicine, new energy and materials; fully support the growing of enterprises such as Foxconn, Omron, Minmetal, TBEA, Nanyue Electronic Control, Hansen Pharmacy, and Gongchuang Photovoltaic; further transform traditional industries, machinery, coal, smelting, chemical engineering, food, spinning, etc. to high-end, low-carbon and intelligent industries; inject new vitality to industries and form new point of growth.
From the two words “new vitality” and “new growth point”, people can perceive the faith and determination of municipal Party committee to stabilize economic growth by accelerating new industrialization.
In addition, it’s proposed that boosting service industry should be an important way to push structure adjustment, transformation and upgrading. With Hengyang being a pilot city of the comprehensive reform of national service industry, we should take policy advantages to turn it into a regional modern service center by upgrading traditional service industry and expediting modern service industry.
The construction of key commercial logistics projects in Hengyang has facilitated the advancement of logistics industry and also rooted the ideas, fostering big markets, boosting big business and enlivening big distribution since last year. Such as Huayao Town, Wanda Commercial Plaza, City New Field, Liancafu Department Store, Baishazhou Logistics Park, Hengyuan Logistics and so on. Next, the construction of specialized market, automobile accessory, electromechanics, steel products, building materials and agricultural products, will be fully pushed to make modern service industry the engine of Hengyang’s development.
However, as a traditional agricultural city, its course of agricultural modernization has never lagged behind. The year of 2014 has witnessed steady agricultural economic development of Hengyang. Levels of large scale, industrialization, mechanization of agricultural industry have been gradually improved, with the total output of grain hitting more than 3.3million tons, achieving eleven consecutive increase. Leading enterprises of agricultural industrialization at provincial level ranked the first in the province with fifteen new ones.

Specifically, it is to give food safety the top priority, strictly protect cultivated land, pay close attention to “Rice Bag” and “Vegetable Basket” projects to ensure the total grain output maintained over 3.3 million tons, total vegetable output over 3 million tons. We’ll spare no efforts to flow over six million acres of land, add more than 200 farmer cooperatives and family farms by speeding up rural land circulation and foster new type of operators.
Meanwhile, we’ll further put emphasis on major agriculture projects, leading enterprises and brand building, improvement in additional value of agricultural products and comparative profit. The development foundation of agriculture will be continuously enhanced such as the construction of farmland water conservancy facilities.
