On the global stage, China firmly holds its positions as the world’s second largest consumer market, the largest online retail market, and the second-largest import market. Its enormous investment and consumption potential keeps attracting high-quality foreign funded projects.
Recently, China has once again become the focus of international news.
In December 2025, the General Administration of Customs of China released a set of data:
In the first 11 months of 2025, the total value of China's goods trade imports and exports maintained steady growth, reaching 41.21 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 3.6%. Among this, exports stood at 24.46 trillion yuan, up 6.2% year-on-year, while imports reached 16.75 trillion yuan, a year on year increase of 0.2%. The 41.21 trillion yuan in total trade volume translated into a trade surplus of 7.71 trillion yuan for China, which is equivalent to 1 trillion US dollars when converted into US currency!
This 1 trillion dollars trade surplus is a hard,and won achievement of China's manufacturing industry. Over the past few years, it has braved the pressures of trade wars and technological wars and fought its way through the fierce competition of the global industrial chain.
To truly understand the significance of this 1 trillion dollars trade surplus, we need to take a long - term perspective.
Before 2019, China's annual trade surplus usually hovered between 300 billion and 400 billion US dollars. However, starting from 2020, this figure has increased by 2.5 times in just five years.
Amid growing instability and uncertainty in the global economic and trade landscape, multinational enterprises continue to increase their investment in the Chinese market. This demonstrates China's commitment to opening up, integrating with the world, and moving forward hand in hand with other countries.
The global printing, packaging and label market is expected to reach 22 billion US dollars in 2025. The label sector is projected to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0% from 2025 to 2030, mainly due to the relatively mature application of technologies by label printing enterprises.
