Changyuan is an important industrial base. Most notably the city has a production capacity of 260,000 cranes a year, composing 68% of the Chinese crane market. Other industries clustered around the city are medical equipment and hygiene supplies and anti-corrosion materials.[5][6] The city has been named the 'Chinese capital of medical consumables'. Presumably, local farmers started making cotton swabs and balls in the 1970s, laying the groundwork for this industry.[7]
