• Industrial production growth has remained around 15% on
average for China over the past decades
• However as China moves from “Made in China” to
“Designed in China”, traditional low cost factories will lose
favor against high-value sectors like biotechnology and new
energy vehicle industries with plans to develop these
industries to compete and succeed on a global scale
• Thus over the next decades, a slow down in industrial
production in China is anticipated

• Over the past decade, China has attained the status of the
low cost manufacturing hub, exporting its produce to the
West
• However the move to encourage more domestic demand
together with the overall economic shift to more design and
less manufacturing will all contribute to lower exports
• Subsidizing public and private investments only in strategic
industries, increasing minimum wages and the push for
services sector and creating R&D hubs are all expected to
limit the growth in merchandise exports
