China’s purchasing managers’ indices (PMIs) are the indicators of its economic health. These indices boost the sentiments in the business sector. In June 2021, China’s official manufacturing PMI stood at 50.9, signifying growth in the activity in the business sector. This followed a reading of 51 in May 2021.
  • The Chinese construction sector has been growing steadily. It reached a total output value of around CNY 25.9 trillion (USD 29.32 trillion) in 2021. Benefiting from the rapid urbanization, the Chinese construction industry generated an output that exceeded CNY 29 trillion (USD 32.83 trillion) in 2021. In 2021, the construction output value in China achieved its peak, amounting to around CNY 29.3 trillion (USD 33.17 trillion). In 2020, there were around 116,722 construction enterprises in China. In 2020, the construction industry accounted for around 7.2% of China's gross domestic product. A significant share of the country's economy relies on real estate and infrastructural construction.
