I. Main Characteristics of Industrial Economic Operation
(1) The "three major categories" have rebounded in an orderly manner. From the perspective of the three major categories, as enterprises accelerate the pace of resuming work and production, except for four enterprises that have not resumed work and production, the production rhythm of most enterprises is gradually returning to normal. From January to March, the added value of the mining industry increased by 23.9% year-on-year. The growth rate rebounded by 30.6 percentage points compared with that from January to February, driving the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 0.1 percentage point. The added value of the manufacturing industry increased by 0.9% year-on-year. The growth rate rebounded by 1.5 percentage points compared with January-February, driving the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size to increase by 0.9 percentage points. The added value of the power, gas and water production and supply industry decreased by 23.0% year-on-year. The decline narrowed by 3.8 percentage points compared with January-February, pulling down the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 0.4 percentage points.
(2) The leading position of the aluminum industry is prominent. With the strong momentum of extending, supplementing and strengthening the industrial chain, the clustering effect of the industry has emerged. Under the favorable factors such as the return to normal production in the downstream of aluminum and the effective increase in aluminum production capacity, the aluminum industry has shown a stable recovery trend, and its leading position has become prominent. From January to March, the added value of the large-scale non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry increased by 0.2% year-on-year (0.5% in March), with the growth rate rising by 0.2 percentage points compared to January-February. It accounted for 90.2% of the added value of the large-scale industrial enterprises. The aluminum industry held a prominent leading position and played a decisive role in the growth of the county's large-scale industrial enterprises.
(3) The non-aluminum industry is recovering and improving. From January to March, the pace of resumption of production of 40 non-aluminum enterprises accelerated, and the resumption rate significantly increased, rising from 82.5% in February to 91.5% in March. The added value of the non-aluminum industry increased by 4.7% year-on-year (31.5% in March), contributing 0.4 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, accounting for 9.8% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size.
(4) Key industries have shown significant driving force. From January to March, the seven key industries collectively contributed 1.7 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. Specifically, the added value of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry increased by 77.0% year-on-year, contributing 0.5 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, accounting for 1.2% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. The added value of the gas production and supply industry increased by 315.6% year-on-year, contributing 0.3 percentage points to the added value of designated-size industrial enterprises and accounting for 0.3% of the added value of designated-size industrial enterprises.

The added value of the non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry increased by 0.2% year-on-year, contributing 0.2 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, accounting for 90.2% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. The added value of the non-metallic mineral products industry increased by 6.3% year-on-year, contributing 0.2 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, accounting for 3.4% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. The added value of the food manufacturing industry increased by 4.9% year-on-year, contributing 0.1 percentage point to the growth of the added value of designated-size industrial enterprises and accounting for 3.4% of the added value of designated-size industrial enterprises.
(5) The main engine role of the park economy is prominent. From January to March, the industrial added value of 27 large-scale industrial enterprises in the park increased by 0.8% year-on-year, with the growth rate rising by 1.6 percentage points compared to January-February. The proportion of these enterprises in the industrial added value of large-scale enterprises reached 97.1%, driving the growth of the industrial added value of large-scale enterprises by 0.8 percentage points and contributing 124.7%.
Ii. The main difficulties and problems that need urgent attention at present
(1) The growth rate of added value of enterprises above designated size has generally slowed down significantly. From January to March, the growth rate of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 0.6% year-on-year, but the growth rate dropped by 78.6% year-on-year, showing a significant slowdown.
(2) The growth rates of five industries declined significantly. The first is the manufacturing industry of chemical raw materials and chemical products: This industry has been affected by multiple factors such as aging equipment and rising raw material prices, resulting in a significant increase in production costs and a decline in the profitability of enterprises. Enterprises are facing difficulties such as semi-shutdown and production reduction. From January to March, the output of products decreased by 13.3% year-on-year, and the added value decreased by 22.6% year-on-year, pulling down the growth rate of the added value of large-scale industrial enterprises by 0.3 percentage points. The second is the power production industry: Due to the peak shaving factors of the power grid company system, solar power generation is restricted. From January to March, power generation decreased by 29.6% year-on-year, and added value decreased by 47.7% year-on-year, pulling down the growth rate of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 0.6 percentage points. The third is the ferroalloy industry: Affected by factors such as overcapacity, persistently low product prices, high production costs, and the expansion of loss-making enterprises, the output of ferroalloys decreased by 35% year-on-year from January to March, and the added value dropped by 14.5% year-on-year, pulling down the growth rate of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 0.1 percentage point. Fourth, in the non-metallic mineral mining and selection industry: Output decreased by 26.7% from January to March, and added value dropped by 32.0% year-on-year, pulling down the growth rate of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 0.1 percentage point. The fifth is the comprehensive utilization industry of waste resources: From January to March, due to factors such as unsmooth recycling channels and limited resource varieties, the output decreased by 30.7% year-on-year. Although the downward pull was not obvious, it still reflects that the development of this industry is facing difficulties.
(3) The base effect becomes more prominent month by month, and the pressure for sustained growth increases. Over the past three years, Yanshan County has relied on the strong support of the aluminum industry to achieve sustained and rapid growth of its industrial economy above designated size. The base for the same period in 2025 has been increasing month by month. Against the backdrop of a high base and insufficient new growth, there is huge pressure to achieve sustained growth of the industrial economy this year. Especially when the added value of the aluminum industry accounts for as high as 90.2%, while that of other industries is only 9.8%, even if other industries maintain stable growth, the effect of pulling the growth rate of the overall large-scale industrial enterprises is very limited.
(4) The development of non-aluminum industries lags behind and has weak driving force. The non-aluminum industry accounts for a relatively small proportion in the large-scale industrial economy and has a relatively backward development level. Most non-aluminum enterprises are small in scale, have weak technological innovation capabilities, and have low technological content in their products. Most enterprises are in the initial processing stage, with low added value and insufficient market competitiveness. During the production process, enterprises face many difficulties and bottlenecks, such as financing difficulties, talent shortages, and increased environmental protection pressure. It has restricted the transformation and upgrading as well as the quality improvement and efficiency enhancement of enterprises. From January to March, the added value of 25 non-aluminum industries increased by 4.7% year-on-year, contributing 0.4 percentage points to the growth of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, but accounting for only 9.8% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size.
