The cargo turnover of Chinese ports increased by 4.4% in January–August 2025

The cargo turnover of Chinese ports grew by 4.4% in the first eight months of 2025, reaching 12 million tons. This significant increase reflects positive dynamics in maritime trade and demonstrates the sustainable development of China's transport infrastructure.

This indicator is an important gauge of the country's economic activity and supports expectations of high economic growth this year. The growth in cargo turnover indicates the continuation of maritime trade with international partners, which contributes to the development of Chinese companies focused on foreign economic ties and international markets.

Experts note that the increase in port cargo turnover is both a sign of a revival in industrial production and trade, as well as an indicator of the efficiency of transport logistics in China, which plays a key role in the global market.

Taken together with forecasts of China's GDP growth at levels from 4.8% to 5% in 2025, the data on ports underscore the resilience of the economy and its ability to adapt to the conditions of global trade.
