China’s light industry sector achieved steady growth in 2022, according to data from the National Development and Reform Commission. Major enterprises in the sector reported a combined revenue of 24 trillion yuan ($3.46 trillion) last year, up 5.4% from the previous year. These companies also saw total profits of 1.53 trillion yuan, a rise of 8.2% from the year before.

The sector’s industrial added value also increased by 2.4% from 2021, with battery production growing by more than 10% year-on-year and the output of solar cells soaring nearly 50%. Additionally, the export of light industry products rose by 4.2% year-on-year to $953.54 billion in 2022, accounting for 26.5% of the country’s total exports.
