According to statistics, Huai'an is currently home to 309 enterprises above the designated size in the next-generation information technology industry. Since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the sector has maintained an average annual growth rate of over 10% in invoiced sales. In the first half of this year, the industry recorded a total revenue of RMB 41.3 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of 10.9%.

The industry in Huai'an is characterized by distinct clustering. The city has developed a specialized industrial chain system focused on PCBs, electronic components, integrated circuits, and new display technologies, with gradual expansion both upstream and downstream along the value chain. Among these, the PCB and electronic component sectors stand out in particular, accounting for 20% and 15%, respectively, of the city's total electronic information industry revenue in the first half of this year.

Investment in projects remains strong. By the end of 2024, Huai'an had 168 electronic information manufacturing projects under construction, with a total planned investment of RMB 94 billion—accounting for nearly one-fourth of the city's total industrial project investment. Several major projects, such as Qingding's high-end, high-density PCB and substrate-like PCB project, Testron Technology's PCB manufacturing project, and Bairui's zero-carbon green power high-precision electronic manufacturing project, each exceeded RMB 5 billion in investment. These projects span key areas including new display technologies, PCBs, and integrated circuits.

The quality of enterprises continues to improve. Huai'an is home to 64 specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative (SRDI) enterprises in the next-generation information technology sector, including 7 national-level SRDI "little giant" companies. Many key enterprises are focusing on high-end technologies, steadily strengthening R&D and innovation to enhance added value of products. For example, Aucksun has made major breakthroughs in automotive-grade display chips and special packaging technologies. Its independently developed MiniLED products have entered large-scale production and are now successfully applied in professional fields such as automotive lighting and horticultural lighting.
