Henan's manufacturing sector has made notable progress in its new materials strategy. Local enterprises are deepening their focus on high value-added materials, with new product orders for electronic-grade aluminum foil, energy storage liquid cooling plates, high-generation sputtering targets, and medical molecular sieves steadily scaling up. Revenue from the new materials segment has grown substantially, and its share of total revenue has continued to rise, making it a core driver of profit resilience. Faced with growth bottlenecks in traditional tracks, Henan enterprises are breaking away from path dependence on scale expansion and leveraging their technological accumulation to cultivate a second growth curve. The province's complete nonferrous metals and equipment manufacturing industrial clusters, together with industrial chain support policies, provide backing for new materials R&D, pilot production, and industrialization—driving "Central Plains Manufacturing" up the value chain.
