Wuhu GDP Exceeds 540 Billion Yuan in 2025, Industrial Growth Leads Anhui Province

Wuhu City, a key manufacturing hub in East China’s Anhui Province, has released its 2025 economic performance data, demonstrating robust growth across multiple sectors. The city’s regional gross domestic product (GDP) reached 540.269 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.3 percent, outpacing national and provincial averages.

The economic structure shows balanced development across three industries. The primary sector contributed 18.94 billion yuan, up 4.5 percent, reflecting steady agricultural modernization. The secondary sector, representing manufacturing and construction, achieved 241.534 billion yuan with an impressive 8.2 percent growth rate, underscoring Wuhu’s industrial strength. The tertiary sector, encompassing services and commerce, totaled 279.795 billion yuan, growing 4.5 percent and accounting for over half of the city’s economic output.

Industrial performance stands as a particular highlight. The city’s above-scale industrial added value surged 9.9 percent year-on-year, driven by advanced manufacturing and technological innovation. The automotive industry, Wuhu’s economic pillar, achieved a historic milestone with automobile exports reaching 100.17 billion yuan, breaking the 100-billion-yuan threshold for the first time.

This export breakthrough cements Wuhu’s position as a crucial node in China’s automotive supply chain and international trade networks. The city continues to attract foreign investment and expand its global market presence, particularly in new energy vehicles and intelligent manufacturing sectors.

Analysts attribute Wuhu’s economic resilience to its strategic location along the Yangtze River, well-developed transportation infrastructure, and supportive business environment. The city’s commitment to high-quality development and industrial upgrading positions it as a model for medium-sized Chinese cities transitioning toward innovation-driven economies.
