Statistics and Insights about China

The PRC has the largest population in the world, which is estimated to reach over 1.4 billion in 2019. China is the second-largest economy in the world, and is the top destination for many international firms looking to grow. China has now become home to many of the world’s up-and-coming businesses, which are increasingly looking to expand in other emerging markets as well as in Western Europe and the US. Since economic reform began in 1978, China has been among the world’s fastest-growing economies, relying largely on investment and export-oriented growth. However, China’s GDP growth rate has slowed down since 2012, and decreased to 6.5 percent in 2018, which was the lowest growth rate since 1991. When compared to most developed nations, economic emphasis on the industrial sector is rather strong in China. Its high productivity, low labor costs and relatively good infrastructure have made it a global leader in manufacturing. China has been a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) since December 2001 and is the world’s largest trading power, with a trade surplus of 593 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. It has established itself as the primary trade partner of many countries worldwide. Consumer goods made in China represent a large share of the country’s exports. However, the PRC intends to reduce heavy reliance on merchandise exports and focus on domestic consumption of its manufactured goods facing the lack of demands on the global market. However, by far the biggest challenge facing China is that of forming a sustainable model for economic stability. The transition from a middle-income to a high-income economy is often more challenging than the transition from a low-income to a middle-income economy.

Key Markets

Retail and E-Commerce: Retail has played a major role in China’s economic growth as the country continues its transformation journey. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, consumption contributed to nearly 60 percent of China’s economic expansion in 2017. China has now become the world’s second largest retail and consumer market, behind only the U.S., exceeding 36 trillion yuan in sales ($5.69 trillion) in 2017. Disposable personal income has increased 130 percent since 2008, a 10-year period in which most developed nations have seen wages stagnate. Furthermore, middle-class consumers in China, estimated to be somewhere in the region of 430 million strong, are becoming increasingly influential in the retail sector. On the e-commerce side, online spending continues to be the lead character in China’s retail story. E-commerce saw sales jump 32 percent to 7.18 trillion in 2017. The Chinese e-commerce market has simply exploded, averaging a 43 percent increase each year for the past five years. Online sales now account for about a fifth of total retail in the region. Alibaba and its rival JD.com accounted for roughly 80 percent of consumer e-commerce sales between them and more than 40 percent of all licensed sales now come from online purchases, the highest for any country. Technology: China’s rise as a global technology powerhouse is becoming broadly acknowledged, but the scale, nuance, and innovation encapsulated in that rise does not enjoy the same recognition. In recent decades, China has essentially moved mountains when it comes to innovation, and has fostered an unparalleled technology ecosystem fueled by burgeoning competition, homegrown talent, and capital. In particular, since 2015, the State Council of China has put forward several innovation-centric national strategic initiatives such as the “Internet Plus,” “13th Five-Year Plan,” “Made in China 2025” and the “New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Development Plan.” These initiatives aim to encourage the innovative economy by leveraging the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and AI technologies to construct a “Digital China.” Backed by strong government mandates, incentive plans, and billions of dollars in both private and public investment, China has made significant progress in building a solid digital foundation to cement itself as a leader in the global technology market. It now ranks among the top three worldwide for venture capital investment in key areas such as digital technology, including virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, 3D printing, robotics and AI. China is also one of the world’s largest e-commerce markets and is already a major global force in mobile payments.
