China's industrial sector demonstrated resilience as profits for major enterprises grew 0.1% year-on-year during the first 11 months of 2025, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on December 27. The 6.63 trillion yuan ($930 billion) total marks four consecutive months of cumulative growth since August, signaling sustained economic recovery.
High-tech manufacturing emerged as a key driver, with computer and communication equipment sectors posting a 15% profit surge. This growth aligns with China's strategic push for technological modernization and industrial upgrading.
NBS statistician Yu Weining noted the expansion of new growth momentum industries remains robust, stating: "The sustained upward trajectory since late summer reflects effective policy support and market adaptation." While the growth rate moderated slightly from earlier 2025 figures, analysts highlight the significance of maintaining positive territory amid global economic headwinds.
The data comes as manufacturers accelerate adoption of smart manufacturing systems and green production methods, with electric vehicle components and renewable energy equipment contributing significantly to export volumes.
