As a new economic form in the digital era, the platform economy has become a vital pillar supporting the stable and upward development of Anhui's economy. On March 18, data revealed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the province's total platform transaction volume surged from 0.99 trillion yuan in 2020 to nearly 1.8 trillion yuan in 2025, achieving an average annual growth rate of 11.4%. This growth outpaced the national average by 3.8 percentage points, elevating Anhui's national ranking from 10th to 7th place and marking a historic leap forward.
Over the past five years, the transaction structure of the platform economy has continued to optimize. The ratio of goods to services transactions shifted from 83.3:16.7 in 2020 to 79.2:20.8 in 2025. Driven by advantageous industries such as automobiles and electromechanical equipment, the province's goods transaction volume increased by 4.4% year-on-year in 2025, exceeding the national growth rate by 4.2 percentage points. Meanwhile, personal service transactions grew by 14% year-on-year, surpassing the national average by 2.1 percentage points.
Alongside the expansion and structural refinement, new business formats and models have emerged as significant drivers of growth. Integrated models such as "regional culture + e-commerce" and "community group buying + local supply chain" have continuously emerged, with live-stream e-commerce and cross-border e-commerce performing notably well. Hefei's cross-border e-commerce transaction volume in the photovoltaic new energy industrial belt repeatedly ranked first among Chinese cities. Qianshan's "small brushes" have developed into a major industry, becoming a case study promoted nationwide by the Ministry of Commerce for cross-border e-commerce. Xuancheng's garment industry has actively expanded overseas through platforms like AliExpress. These dynamic examples fully demonstrate the robust vitality of the platform economy in empowering the real economy, driving employment, and stimulating consumption.
