China's Industrial Profits Show Continued Growth in 2025

China's industrial sector has demonstrated resilience with a steady profit growth trajectory, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Saturday. This marks a significant indication of recovery in the industrial landscape, although there has been a slight decline in the rate of growth.

During the first eleven months of the year, profits from industrial enterprises above the designated size reached a total of 6.63 trillion yuan. This figure represents a modest 0.1 percent increase from the same period last year, with a notable trend of positive cumulative growth maintained for four consecutive months since August.

A detailed analysis of the data reveals that emerging and high-end industries have been pivotal in driving profit growth. Specifically, the computer, communication, and other electronic equipment manufacturing sector has seen impressive growth, with profits soaring by 15.0 percent year on year due to robust demand and ongoing advancements in technology.

Yu Weining, a statistician from the NBS, emphasized that while the rate of overall profit growth has slightly diminished compared to previous periods, the upward trend established since August remains intact. This trend reflects an ongoing recovery within the industrial sector.

He further highlighted that industries fueled by new growth momentum are witnessing steady expansion. This development is indicative of orderly progress in the transformation and upgrading processes taking place within China's industrial framework.
