Summary

  • Chinese companies increased global market share in nearly 40% of major goods and services last year, with especially notable gains in electric vehicles and digital products, according to a Nikkei analysis.
  • Those gains came even after the United States temporarily imposed tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods last year, underscoring the continued spread of China-made products worldwide.
  • The findings point to resilient overseas demand and suggest Chinese manufacturers are still strengthening their position in key export categories despite escalating trade barriers.
