The Anping wire mesh industry is expected to embrace broader development space and move towards a direction of higher quality and stronger competitiveness in the future, relying on its industrial scale advantages, innovation-driven development, and policy support. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Sustained Expansion of Industrial Scale

As the world's largest production base and distribution center for wire mesh, Anping is home to 13,000 related enterprises. Its production, sales, and export volumes account for over 80% of China's total. In 2024, the wire mesh industry achieved an output value of 15.2 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year growth of 6.5%. With the continuous enhancement of industrial cluster effects, its industrial scale is expected to maintain growth, occupying a more important position in the global wire mesh market.

2. Improvement in Intelligence Level

Anping actively promotes the shared intelligent manufacturing model. By building shared platforms, workshops, and factories, wire mesh enterprises have shifted from "Single-handed Operations" to "Cluster Collaboration".

3. High-end Development of Products

Aiming at the pain point of the wire mesh industry—"overcrowded in low-end markets, scarce in high-end sectors"—Anping has established an innovation matrix of "research institute + testing center + enterprise laboratory". Many enterprises have increased R&D investment, yielding a number of innovative achievements. For example, Hebei Blackgold Metal Products Co., Ltd. has drawn stainless steel wires to the thinnest in China, and its newly developed production technology for next-generation invisible window screens has filled a domestic gap. In the future, with continuous increases in R&D efforts, Anping wire mesh will make more breakthroughs in high-end product areas, enhancing product added value.

4. Growing Opportunities for Market Expansion

Anping wire mesh has been exported to more than 190 countries and regions, with the export volume of woven wire mesh accounting for 80% of China's total. Anping County supports enterprises in going global by establishing a special foreign trade work team, introducing special incentive policies, and building cross-border e-commerce industrial parks. Meanwhile, the International Wire Mesh Exposition is held annually, attracting numerous international purchasers. With the in-depth promotion of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the gradual recovery of global trade, Anping wire mesh will have more opportunities to expand into international markets, and foreign trade exports are expected to continue growing.

5. Continuous Improvement of Industrial Chain

Anping County is focusing on implementing the industrial chain extension and supplementation project. For external introduction, it carries out precise investment promotion to actively introduce chain-extension projects; for internal cultivation, it implements the enterprise leader and leading enterprise cultivation plan. In the past two years, 39 chain-extension and supplementation projects for the wire mesh industry have been introduced, with a total investment of 2.29 billion US dollars. In the future, with the continuous improvement of the industrial chain, Anping's wire mesh industry will form stronger industrial synergy and enhance the overall risk resistance of the industry.

6. Enhancement of Brand Influence

Anping County has continuously strengthened brand building. For example, Hebei Blackgold Metal Products Co., Ltd. actively promotes the "Blackgold" trademark, with its popularity and influence continuously increasing, and its annual export volume exceeding 5 million US dollars. Meanwhile, enterprises have participated in formulating and revising 13 national, industrial, and other standards, providing strong support for brand building. In the future, with the continuous advancement of brand building, the brand influence of Anping wire mesh will be further expanded, helping to enhance product market competitiveness and added value.
