Why Mainland China?

Mainland China is the fastest growing emerging market and has the largest economy in the world, with vast opportunities for business in technology, luxury goods, engineering, healthcare and finance.  This market presents immense business opportunities and should rank at the top of the list for global expansion and investment.

Mainland China has enjoyed a remarkable period of rapid growth moving from a centrally-planned to a market-based economy. With a population of 1.3 billion, Mainland China is the world’s second largest economy by nominal GDP (the largest by PPP) and plays an important and influential role in the development of the global economy. Mainland China has been the largest single contributor to world growth since the global financial crisis of 2008.

Mainland China is the world’s largest manufacturer and exporter of goods. But, with population changes resulting from economic growth, it is also the world’s fastest-growing consumer market and second-largest importer of goods. Mainland China is a net importer of service products. It is the largest trading nation in the world and plays a prominent role in international trade.

Reasons to do business in Mainland China include:

  • Access to an economic powerhouse
