As a benchmark venue in Wuhan, the center maintains a leading position in the city's performance market due to its high-frequency hosting capability, professional venue facilities, and excellent audience services. In 2025, it hosted 35 large-scale events, attracting 500,000 spectators and generating nearly 180 million yuan ($26.39 million) in ticket sales.

The booming "concert economy" effectively promotes the deep integration and collaborative growth of upstream and downstream sectors such as accommodation, dining, transportation, and cultural tourism, boosting regional consumer activity and enhancing Wuhan's economic presence and cultural soft power.
