China 2021: Taking New Opportunities and Avoiding Risks
China continues to grow. The drivers of growth are private consumption and government investment in innovations. As part of its Domestic Circulation strategy, which aims to strengthen the domestic economy, the country is focusing on stimulating demand from Chinese consumers. Analysts estimate that the private consumer market will reach $9.6 trillion by 2030, accounting for 47% of GDP. The country's rapid digitalization is accelerating this growth, creating entirely new markets and opening up interesting potential for cooperation. In B2B, the state's investments in future technologies and new infrastructures are creating further business opportunities, for example in the Greater Bay Area. And with the new free trade zone Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which is dominated by China, completely new growth prospects are opening up for European companies in Asia.
These opportunities are offset by new risks. The constant introduction of new policies poses a major challenge for foreign companies. The strategic plans Made in China 2025 and China Standards 2035 as well as the National Intellectual Property Strategy aim to displace foreign companies or reduce their market share. This increases the pressure to innovate and forces foreign suppliers to make strategic adjustments. Chinese brand and product piracy continues to grow, becoming more sophisticated and international. The Cyber Secutity Law with the Multi-Level Protection Scheme 2.0, the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law increase the regulatory pressure on companies. The exchange of data is being restricted, limiting companies' room for maneuver. The Export Control Law and the Corporate Social Credit System are also increasing the workload and costs.
