Entrusted by Zhang Chonghe, President of the China National Light Industry Council, Secretary-General Guo Yongxin publicly unveiled this industrial map, which systematically reflects the achievements in upgrading and innovation within the light industry consumer goods sector.
During the release, Guo Yongxin pointed out that the light industry is a vital sector for consumer goods related to people's livelihoods and a competitive industry with strong international advantages. Covering multiple fields such as food, clothing, housing, daily necessities, transportation, recreation, entertainment, and education, it plays a significant role in meeting the people's needs for a better life, stabilizing growth, promoting consumption, and benefiting livelihoods. In 2025, the added value of China's light industry above designated size increased by 5.3% year-on-year, achieving an operating revenue of 23 trillion yuan, profits of 1.4 trillion yuan, and exports of 911.46 billion US dollars, accounting for 24.2% of the country's total exports.

The core support behind the industrial map is the "Thousand Products Plan" continuously promoted by the China National Light Industry Council. Since the General Office of the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Carrying Out the 'Three Products' Special Action in the Consumer Goods Industry to Create a Favorable Market Environment" in 2016, the China National Light Industry Council, under the guidance of the Consumer Goods Division of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, has compiled twelve batches of the "Guide to Upgraded and Innovative Consumer Goods (Light Industry)," selecting a total of 1,021 products closely related to people's daily lives. Among them, 470 are upgraded consumer goods leading consumption trends, and 551 are innovative consumer goods adopting new materials, new processes, and new designs, covering 35 industries and 27 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities nationwide. Products selected from Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu provinces account for 55.7% of the total, highlighting the status of the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta as highlands for light industry innovation.
The products included in the map exhibit five distinct characteristics. In terms of technological innovation, Fotile revolutionized traditional dishwasher water-washing technology by inventing "High-Energy Bubble Smart Wash," serving over 30 million households cumulatively. At the intelligent high-end level, smart living room systems integrate home decoration styles with intelligent control, while artificial sky lights and sky panels can simulate natural light rhythms. In the green and low-carbon dimension, Liby laundry pods have a biodegradability rate exceeding 90%, and the backrest frame of the Sunon H5 chair is made from 100% recycled materials, reducing carbon emissions by 76%. Regarding products suitable for the elderly and children, Zulijian elderly shoes have been included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's recommended catalog for elderly products for four consecutive years, while products like pocket strollers and eye-protection lamps accompany children throughout their growth. In terms of quality upgrading, products like artistic fragrances transform traditional daily chemical items into lifestyle artworks that carry culture and aesthetics.
The continuous release of the "Guide" has produced clear market-driving effects. The annual sales of products selected for the "Guide" exceed 10 billion yuan, with Midea's Fresh Air Conditioner achieving sales revenue exceeding 1.398 billion yuan, and Hegii R9 smart toilet sales volume increasing by approximately 35%. The washing products industry has achieved a full-chain breakthrough in green formulations and low-carbon production, with Nice Group achieving a 98% water recycling rate in its production processes and saving 75% in energy consumption.
