"In 2025, Anhui's total imports and exports of goods surpassed the trillion‑yuan threshold for the first time, achieving its best historical result!" The data announced by Hefei Customs director Zhou Rongqiu at the provincial government press conference on the afternoon of January 15 instantly energized the room. This means that, in the closing year of the 14th Five‑Year Plan, Anhui successfully joined the foreign‑trade "over-one-trillion‑yuan club," becoming the 9th province‑level region nationwide and the first in central China to exceed one trillion yuan in foreign trade (among provinces and municipalities).
Data show that in 2025 Anhui's total imports and exports of goods reached RMB 1,013.56 billion, up 17.3% year‑on‑year. The province ranked 9th nationwide and 1st in central China by total trade value; its growth rates for total trade, exports, and imports ranked 5th, 7th, and 5th in the country respectively, outperforming national averages by 13.5, 11.7, and 15.7 percentage points. In December alone, imports and exports reached RMB 111.84 billion, up 35.9%, setting a new monthly scale record.
Within this impressive results sheet we see not only rapid growth but also higher‑quality gains from Anhui's optimized trade structure and surging new drivers. A particularly noteworthy highlight: in 2025 Anhui exported 1.228 million vehicles (including chassis), topping the nation and becoming the first province in China to surpass one million annual vehicle exports.
"Anhui‑branded" Domestic Goods Win Fans in Overseas Markets
Caiyang Stationery's national‑style cultural‑creative products sell to more than 180 countries, and once its new factory reaches full production it is expected to achieve an annual industrial output value of about RMB 400 million; Letang(Joymeng) has created digital cultural IP, with its games exceeding over 4 billion global downloads… Quietly, more and more "Anhui‑branded" domestic products are emerging on the international stage, and items represented by the "new-trio" are continuously leading a fresh wave of development.
The data are most convincing: in 2025 Anhui exported RMB 159.82 billion in high‑tech products, up 16.6%; exports of self‑owned brands reached RMB 348.32 billion, up 13.2%. Exports of the "new trio" products totaled RMB 101.83 billion, ranking 6th nationwide by export value.
From an export‑market perspective, both the basic foreign‑trade foundation and dynamic growth poles achieved breakthroughs: exports to the EU reached RMB 29.19 billion, up 68.4%; exports to the Middle East reached RMB 17.1 billion, up 1.6 times; and exports to other RCEP member countries reached RMB 14.88 billion, up 1.9 times.
Linking Rivers and Seas to the World
Some ask: Anhui is not border‑adjacent nor a coastal province — how can it do global business? Geographically, however, Anhui lies along the Yangtze and near the coast, located centrally‑east and bridging south and north, giving it a strategically advantageous position. Moreover, the province benefits from overlapping national development strategies such as Yangtze River Delta integration, Yangtze Economic Belt development, and the Rise of Central China.
In recent years, customs special supervision areas represented by comprehensive bonded zones have grown in number and strength and have gradually become key platforms leading Anhui's open economy. With the closing‑operation launch of the Bengbu comprehensive bonded zone, the province now has six comprehensive bonded zones in total, the most in the central region.
While continuously building large open platforms, Anhui has intensified efforts to create integrated water‑land‑air logistics channels and improve cargo circulation efficiency.
Between breaking old models and building new ones, Anhui has proven through practice that an inland hinterland can also open up and rise.
Precision Drip‑Irrigation Fosters a Healthy Foreign‑Trade Ecosystem
At its root, foreign‑trade competition is competition over the business environment. Through precisely targeted policies and efficient, convenient services, Anhui has successfully cultivated an open ecosystem that delights nearby partners and attracts distant ones.
According to statistics, in 2025 Anhui had 14,890 business entities with import‑export records, an increase of 1,591 from 2024. Among them, 120 enterprises had import‑export volumes exceeding RMB 1 billion, up 8 from 2024. Private enterprises' imports and exports totaled RMB 519.15 billion, up 15.8%, accounting for 51.2% of the province's total foreign trade; state‑owned enterprises totaled RMB 250.69 billion, up 18.8%, accounting for 24.7%; and foreign‑invested enterprises totaled RMB 243.65 billion, up 18.8%, accounting for 24%.
Looking toward the 15th Five‑Year Plan, how will Anhui's foreign trade achieve new breakthroughs beyond the trillion mark? The answer may lie in the cutting‑edge power represented by the "new N" products, in the new momentum released by large corridors and platforms, and above all in the vigorous resilience of thousands of market entities. The journey is long but momentum has formed — Anhui's open economy is bound to surge forward.
