China economic development and industrial transformation
Overview
China is experiencing growth in its economic development zones and industrial transformation. In 2025, national-level economic and technological development zones showed continued expansion, generating 15.4 trillion yuan in GDP and accounting for 11.4% of the country’s total output. These zones host over 7 million foreign-invested firms and contribute significantly to foreign trade and investment.
Building on this momentum, China’s economic development new momentum index rose 12.5% to 153.0 in 2025. This increase is attributed to accelerated industrial transformation and innovation-led development. Key drivers include a 22.7% rise in the transformation and upgrading index, high-tech manufacturing, and a 27.1% increase in exports of ‘new three’ products, which include electric vehicles, photovoltaic products, and lithium batteries. Additionally, R&D expenditure reached 3.9 trillion yuan, and the network economy index grew by 10.8% due to 5G expansion and e-commerce growth.
