Xizang autonomous region's industrial sector maintained strong, high‑quality growth during the 14th Five‑Year Plan (2021-25), with the added value of industries above designated size increasing by more than 12 percent annually and the digital economy growing by around 10 percent each year.

The region's annual investment in green industrial fixed assets and high‑tech digital sectors exceeded 13 billion yuan ($1.86 billion) and 2.5 billion yuan, respectively. Xizang's copper output accounted for over 20 percent of China's total, ranking first nationwide for four consecutive years.

A plateau-oriented industrial system has taken shape, led by clean energy, green mining, and green building materials, and supported by agricultural and livestock product processing, traditional Tibetan medicine, ethnic handicrafts, and natural drinking water. A complementary digital industrial system also emerged, covering telecommunications, software development, Tibetan‑language informatization, and cybersecurity.

Xizang is further advancing high‑end, green, and intelligent manufacturing through enterprise cultivation, industrial information integration, green manufacturing, and technological upgrades.

The region now hosts a cluster of national "little giant" firms (specialized small- and medium-sized enterprises that produce novel and unique goods and services), green factories, and innovative SMEs, with more than 1,200 pieces of industrial equipment upgraded.
