[Aim] The socio-economic factors that affect the invasion of alien species in Hebei Province were explored to provide feasible countermeasures and suggestions for the prevention and control of alien species.[Method] The distribution of invasive alien species in Hebei Province was analyzed by reviewing scientific journals, monographs, and databases. To illustrate the socio-economic factors affecting the invasion of alien species in Hebei Province, correlation analysis between the number of invasive alien species and the import trade, number of tourists, and total length of highways within the province in 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019 was performed. The change in the value of import trade in the next few years was predicted by establishing a time series model. The number of invasive alien species was predicted by 2023 using a curve estimation.[Result] The number of invasive alien species in Hebei Province increased yearly, and more than 85% of invasive alien species in each year were introduced by intentional or unintentional human activities. There was a significant positive correlation between the total value of import trade, total number of inbound tourists, and length of the road network and the number of invasive alien species. The number of invasive alien species in Hebei Province was estimated to reach 367 by 2023.[Conclusion] This study shows that social and economic developments will lead to more invasion of alien species in Hebei Province. Based on the pathways of invasive alien species, countermeasures to prevent and control the invasion of alien species are proposed.
