As a new industrial base of Beijing, Tongzhou District will vigorously develop modern manufacturing such as opto-mechatronics, environmental protection equipment and auto parts; cultivate high and new-tech industries like new medicine, bio-engineering and new material; and actively promote city industries including food, garment, printing, furniture, arts and crafts, etc.

At present, Tongzhou has eight industrial zones including Beijing Opto-Mechatronics Industrial Park (OIP) and Beijing Tongzhou Industrial Development Zone, covering a total area of 64 square kilometers. The infrastructure construction of all these industrial zones has met the standard of "eight put through and one leveling off" (i.e. roads, water, rain, sewage, heating, electricity, communication, cable TV are put through and terrain is leveling off); and construction in OIP, Beijing Tongzhou Logistics Park and Beijing National Environmental Protection Industry Zone has reached "ten put through and one leveling off" (plus natural gas and wideband network).
