Doing Business in China has never been easier
Welcome to INDUSTRY 4.01 Business consulting firm
China’s GDP is projected to reach approximately US $18.9 trillion in 2025—maintaining its position as the world’s second-largest economy—with real growth expected around 5%, despite recent signs of slowing to 4–4.7% in late 2025 . In early 2025, first-quarter growth hit 5.4%, driven by manufacturing (+5.9%) and strong exports (+6.9%) . Exports totaled nearly US $3.6 trillion in 2024—a record high—and China’s trade surplus reached close to US $1 trillion .
Through its Belt & Road Initiative—covering 149 countries, 75% of global population, more than half of world GDP—China committed an estimated US $121.8 billion in 2024 (split between US $70.7 billion in new construction contracts and US $51 billion in direct investments), further reinforcing its global influence (). BRI engagement spans sectors like energy (~US $40 billion), green energy (~US $11.8 billion), technology and mining (~US $30 billion), and transport (~US $15 billion) .
As traditional markets saturate, China is refocusing on emerging regions offering scale, low-cost production, and strategic supply chain access. Its global investments in AI, digital infrastructure, green energy, and mineral processing solidify China’s long-term infrastructure dominance. However, challenges remain from its export dependence and low domestic consumption (~40% of GDP vs. OECD average of ~54%)
