For example, during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the total industrial output value and added value of Xiangyang increased by 33.6% and 33.2% annually, which led to the completion and commissioning of a number of leading enterprises and large projects. More than 80% of the city's total industrial output value is contributed by enterprises with production and sales exceeding 100 million yuan, and more than 50% is contributed by enterprises with production and sales exceeding 654.38+0 billion yuan. At present, the gap between Xiangyang and Yichang is mainly manifested in the gap between large enterprises and large projects. Compared with Yichang's Hubei Yihua, Gezhouba, Daohuaxiang, Zhijiang and other large enterprise groups, as well as the Three Gorges all-pass coated board and nano-new materials, the large enterprises and projects in Xiangyang are still small in number, head count and scale.
Large enterprises and large projects have effectively promoted the optimization of regional economic structure and the promotion of urban competitiveness. Large-scale projects aim at the development direction of mainstream industries in the world, occupy a leading position or broad prospects in their respective fields, represent advanced productive forces, and lead the regional economy to change from extensive growth to intensive growth in the process of gradually upgrading the industrial structure from low-end industries dominated by labor to high-end industries dominated by capital and technology.
