BEIJING, 25th March, 2025 (WAM) -- China presents immense opportunities for investment and growth in its consumer market, driven by consumption upgrading, according to a report released by PwC recently.
China Economic Net said that the report highlighted rising demand from youth, rural populations, and elderly consumers, with China's 2024 GDP growing by 5 percent, equivalent to the economy of a mid-sized country. The Chinese government has also rolled out measures to boost consumption, including income growth initiatives and trade-in programmes for homes and vehicles.
Emerging trends include young consumers driving demand for immersive experiences and smart products, rural areas showing strong appetite for appliances and e-commerce, and the elderly contributing significantly to premium consumption sectors such as health, tourism, and education.
Technological innovation and sustainability are further enhancing market dynamics. Retail sales rose by 4 percent in early 2025, while sales of energy-efficient appliances and new energy vehicles surged during the Spring Festival.
Global executives from Siemens, Corning, and S4 Capital underscored China's robust consumer market and reaffirmed long-term investment plans, citing its innovation-driven, high-quality growth trajectory.
