China: The world’s second-largest economy and a key driver of global growth
China is the world’s second-largest economy, contributing approximately 18% of global GDP and continuing to outpace global growth. Recognised for its scale, manufacturing strength, trade leadership, and expanding domestic consumption, China remains a strategically important market for multinational businesses.
Why choose China?
With a population of 1.4 billion — around 18% of the global population — and a rapidly expanding middle-income group, China offers significant domestic purchasing power and a strong ecosystem for sectors such as FMCG, technology, manufacturing, and services.
China continues to play a central role in global trade and investment flows. It is the world’s largest exporter and second-largest importer, with key trading partners including the European Union, ASEAN, and the United States. Strong inbound and outbound investment activity further reinforces its importance as both a destination and source of capital.
For companies seeking scale, supply chain integration, market depth, and access to Asia-Pacific growth, China provides a compelling platform for regional and global expansion.
