In 2021, Cixi will continue to lead Zhejiang Qiangxian, and its advantages will be further expanded. It was learned from the Cixi Municipal Bureau of Statistics that in 2021, the total GDP of Cixi City will be 237.917 billion yuan, an increase of 8.4% over the previous year at comparable prices.

In the same period, Cixi's secondary industry achieved an added value of 145.533 billion yuan, which has even exceeded the total economic volume of Yuyao, Yueqing and other cities.
In 2021, Yiwu's total GDP ranked second in Qiangxian County, Zhejiang with 173.016 billion yuan, an increase of 11.6% year-on-year.

In 2021, Haining's total GDP will be 119.630 billion yuan, and the gap with Wenling is only 6 billion. Observations have found that all nine strong counties in Zhejiang are located in the four major metropolitan areas of the province, mainly concentrated along the coast of Hangzhou Bay.
