Zhejiang's environmental protection industry tops the list in the country. By 2017, its revenue is expected to reach 1 trillion yuan with average annual growth of 15 percent.

Fashion industry
Zhejiang is also trying to develop the fashion industry into a trillion-level industry establish a competitive fashion industrial base, form an industrial chain and transform the province from a traditional manufacturing center into a creative industry center.
The fashion industry is expected to achieve 650 billion yuan in revenue and cultivate at least 100 famous fashion brands and 100 top-notch designers. Meanwhile, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Wenzhou will become influential fashion bases.
