The total output value of Kaiyang industrial enterprises above the designated size in 2025 reached 37.40 billion yuan ($5.52 billion), with an added value of 15.35 billion yuan. Industry contributed 91.5 percent to GDP growth.

The Kaiyang Economic Development Zone was rated as a provincial demonstration development zone for industrial clusters and became a key growth pole for new-type industrialization in Guizhou.

Guizhou Anda Technology Energy Co has established an annual production capacity of 150,000 metric tons of lithium iron phosphate and 150,000 tons of iron phosphate. Transforming from a traditional phosphate chemical enterprise, the company has built a complete industrial chain from iron phosphate to lithium iron phosphate cathode materials, becoming the first Guizhou-based company listed on the Beijing Stock Exchange (BSE) and serving as a core supplier to BYD.

Kaiyang has optimized its fine phosphate and fluorine chemical industry through the cascade utilization of wet-process purified phosphoric acid, with a capacity of 600,000 tons already in place. The comprehensive utilization of yellow phosphorus tail gas has advanced, turning "waste gas" into raw materials for products. The 50,000-ton potassium hydroxide and 100,000-ton potassium dihydrogen phosphate projects have also filled the gap in provincial potash fertilizer production.

Guizhou Kaiyang Chuandong Chemical Co, whose orders are backlogged through June, is committed to green development and promoting the circular economy. This year, the company will add new yellow phosphorus production facilities, increasing capacity to 50,000 tons.
