Ready for a consumer boom? On Wednesday (Nov 26, 2025), the Chinese mainland’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) rolled out an ambitious plan to supercharge spending and resilience in the world’s second-largest consumption market. 💥
The action plan lays out a roadmap to build three trillion-yuan consumer sectors by 2027, plus 10 hotspots each worth at least 100 billion yuan. By 2030, consumption’s contribution to economic growth will ramp up even more, fueling everything from smart vehicles to next-gen gadgets.
What’s on the menu?
• Elderly care products that blend comfort with tech (think smart health trackers)
• Intelligent connected vehicles 🚗
• Cutting-edge consumer electronics
Quality & innovation powering growth
MIIT’s vice minister Xie Yuansheng highlights a leap in quality: over 230 million types of consumer goods now flood the market, including smart home devices, wearables, humanoid robots and drones. Inspection pass rates sit above 96%, and domestic brands are stealing the spotlight with trends like smart watches, cosmetics, outdoor gear, pet supplies, civilian drones, quirky collectibles and “guochao” fashion. 👗
AI joins the party
With 515 million generative AI users nationwide, the ministry is pushing to weave AI into everyday products—from personalized skincare tools to AI-powered home assistants. This tech integration promises smarter, more customized experiences for all.
For young pros across South Asia and Southeast Asia, these moves mean a wave of fresh gadgets, services and lifestyle trends—plus new e-commerce opportunities to score the latest “guochao” drop or smart gear from the Chinese mainland. Ready to upgrade?
