Dongfeng Town in Zhongshan, Guangdong, is one of the world's major hubs for small household appliance manufacturing—producing a new appliance roughly every 35 seconds for markets worldwide. 

Facing rising costs and mounting global competition, local companies have accelerated their digital transformation through measures like production-process coding, smart warehousing, and full-chain quality traceability.

As of October 2025, more than 300 large-scale enterprises in Dongfeng have completed digital upgrades, with over 40 additional digitalization projects in progress. This ongoing shift is moving the town away from a cost-driven model toward a high-quality, innovation-centered supply chain. Dongfeng's progress reflects the broader transformation taking place across China's manufacturing sector.
