Similar to Karamay City, Ordos, Dongying, Haixi, Yulin, Wuhai and other places also rely on a rich energy base, the energy industry is developing rapidly, and the per capita GDP is among the best.
GDP per capita is one of the important indicators to measure the level of regional development.
Apart from municipalities directly under the Central Government, cities under separate state planning, and provincial capitals, where are the common prefecture-level cities with high per capita GDP?
Based on the seventh national census data and GDP data, CBN has roughly calculated the per capita GDP of each region.
Data shows that there are currently 36 ordinary prefecture-level cities with a per capita GDP exceeding 90,000 yuan, of which 28 cities exceed 100,000 yuan; Karamay, Wuxi, Ordos, Suzhou, and Changzhou are among the top five.
The top ten per capita GDP are these cities
Statistics show that the top ten ordinary prefecture-level cities with per capita GDP are Karamay, Wuxi, Ordos, Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhuhai, Dongying, Yangzhou, Haixi and Zhenjiang.
Among them, the per capita GDP of Karamay reached 180,000 yuan, ranking first among 36 ordinary prefecture-level cities and also ranking first among all cities in the country.
According to the 2020 Statistical Bulletin of Karamay City, in 2020, the city's GDP will reach 88.69 billion yuan, an increase of 2.3% over the previous year.
The ratio of the three industrial structures is 2.0:67.4:30.6.
As an energy-based city, the petroleum and petrochemical industry is the absolute leading industry in Karamay.
According to media reports, local officials said that 90% of Karamay’s industrial output value comes from the petrochemical industry and has a complete industrial chain from wellheads to wheels.
Data show that the total output value of the local petroleum and petrochemical industry in 2019 reached 142.1 billion yuan.
Similar to Karamay City, Ordos, Dongying, Haixi, Yulin, Wuhai and other places also rely on a rich energy base, the energy industry is developing rapidly, and the per capita GDP is among the best.
Take Ordos, which ranks third in per capita GDP as an example. Since the new century, driven by the coal energy industry, the economy has developed rapidly.
Data show that in 2020, coal industrial enterprises above designated size in Ordos will produce 64.165 million tons of raw coal.
According to preliminary statistics from the Statistics and Information Department of the China Coal Industry Association, in 2020, the top ten coal mines nationwide will have an approved production capacity of 280 million tons per year, and the actual output of raw coal will be 230 million tons, accounting for about 5.9% of the country's raw coal output.
Among them, the Heidaigou open-pit mine in Zhungeer Banner, Ordos ranked first, and the Harwusu open-pit mine ranked fourth.
Cities that have risen due to the energy economy may also decline and shrink in the future due to energy depletion.
Therefore, these cities need to plan ahead.
In recent years, many major energy cities have been developing non-energy industries.
Ding Changfa, an associate professor in the Department of Economics of Xiamen University, analyzed China Business News that whether the resource-based city's industrial transformation and industrial diversification can be successful requires a specific analysis of specific circumstances.
Among them, the geographical location of the city is very important.
Some cities are well located and close to the market, making it easier to transform.
It is worth noting that not only the per capita GDP of resource-based cities is relatively high, but some coastal cities rely on good port resource advantages to deploy some port-based heavy and chemical industries. Driven by the heavy chemical industry, GDP growth is also relatively fast, and the per capita GDP is relatively high. high.
Among them, Zhoushan, whose per capita GDP ranks 11th among ordinary prefecture-level cities, is a typical example.
In 2020, Zhoushan’s GDP was 151.21 billion yuan, a 12% increase over the previous year at comparable prices.
The rapid growth is mainly related to major local petrochemical projects.
Among them, Daishan, an island county under the jurisdiction of Zhoushan, has a per capita GDP of 185,016 yuan. In 2020, the county will achieve a regional GDP of 38.48 billion yuan, an increase of 58.1% over the previous year.
In 2020, the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size in Daishan County was 88.962 billion yuan, an increase of 206.7% over the previous year. The six leading industries of industrial enterprises above designated size achieved a total output value of 87.364 billion yuan.
Among them, the petrochemical industry achieved a total output value of 74.785 billion yuan, accounting for 84.1%.
According to Ding Changfa's analysis of China Business News, due to the developed economy of the southeast coast and the agglomeration of population and industries, there is a large market demand for heavy and chemical industrial products.
These places have good port resources. In recent years, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian have deployed many port-type heavy chemical industries. The layout of these industries has also promoted the optimization of the local industrial structure and promoted the development of the regional economy.
Per capita GDP of 36 ordinary prefecture-level cities
Data source: CBN According to statistics departments and public data of various regions
Southeast Coast: Developed private economy
Compared with Karamay, Ordos and other places, Wuxi, Suzhou, Zhuhai and other cities located in the southeast coastal area, the per capita GDP is high, mainly because the export-oriented industry is developed, the private economy is very active, and there are many factories.
Take Wuxi City as an example. Among the industrial industries in Wuxi City, an industrial system dominated by five major industries including automobiles, electric power (heat), general equipment, computers, and electronic machinery has been formed.
Several counties in Quanzhou, Fujian have formed a very complete industrial chain, with prominent main industries.
For example, shoes and clothing and food in Jinjiang, stone and plumbing in Nan'an, clothing in Shishi, stone carving and stone in Hui'an, food and beverage, etc., have formed a strong industrial cluster, gathering a large number of employees, especially migrant workers.
Suzhou, an ordinary prefecture-level city with the largest economic aggregate, will achieve an output value of 871.82 billion yuan in the four leading industries of new generation information technology, biomedicine, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence in 2020, an increase of 11.5% over the previous year, accounting for the proportion of the total output value of industries above designated size It reached 25.0%, an increase of 3.2 percentage points over the previous year.
The output value of emerging industries in the manufacturing industry accounted for 55.7% of the total output value of industries above designated size, an increase of 2.1 percentage points from the previous year.
The biomedical industry cluster was successfully selected into the list of the first batch of national strategic emerging industry clusters.
From the regional distribution of 36 cities, a total of 20 cities are located in the eastern coastal area, including 7 in Jiangsu, ranking first in number: 4 in Zhejiang, 3 in Guangdong, Fujian and Shandong each, and 1 in Hebei.
The 7 cities in Jiangsu are all located in the southern and central Jiangsu regions.
According to Ding Changfa's analysis, the spillover radiation from Shanghai is very obvious in these places.
In addition, from the perspective of industrial structure, there is not only a well-developed private economy, but also a large number of heavy and chemical industries along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu.
There are 4 ordinary prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang with a per capita GDP of more than 90,000 yuan, namely Zhoushan, Shaoxing, Jiaxing and Huzhou, all located on the coast of Hangzhou Bay.
Tang Hairu, deputy chairman of the Expert Committee of Hangzhou Planning Commission, analyzed that after decades of development after reform and opening up, the county economy is transforming into an urban economy.
Hangzhou and Ningbo, the two sub-provincial cities, gather a lot of high-end elements, and these high-end elements have a great boost to the development of enterprises.
In the process of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, Shanghai's leading role has become stronger and stronger, and the spillover of Shanghai's functions has mainly spilled over to northern Zhejiang.
Under the influence of comprehensive factors, the northern part of Zhejiang and the coastal areas of Hangzhou Bay developed faster.
