On March 24, 2022, 10:00am \u2013 11:30am EDT, the Canada China Business Council (CCBC) hosted the first event in the \u201cNavigating China\u2019s 14th FYP by Sector\u201d series, in partnership with the Economist Intelligence Corporate Network. This five-part series was designed to strengthen the ability of Canadian businesses to assess risks and opportunities with regards to China\u2019s 14th<\/sup> Five Year Plan (FYP) to improve Canadian competitiveness in the China market. The Consumer & Retail Goods sector session was presented by Alfredo Montufar-Helu, Beijing Director of the Economist Intelligence Corporate Network.<\/p>\n

Mr. Montufar-Helu presented the key trends and developments impacting the Chinese business landscape over the 14th<\/sup> FYP period, with a particular focus on implications on for Canadian firms. China has outperformed other major economies, reported strong economic metrics, and remains an attractive investment destination for multinational corporations. External threats, however, still exist and will create challenges for stakeholders operating in this space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a strong connection between consumption and China\u2019s economic growth. Tertiary industry \u2013 itself driven by private consumption \u2013 provided a roughly 55% contribution of China\u2019s 2021 GDP growth. With a China\u2019s consumption power estimated to increase (as disposable incomes rise across the country) and the 14th<\/sup> FYP \u201ccomprehensively\u201d promoting consumption, several key trends will dominate the sector in the years to come.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firms should look to take advantage of opportunities presented by China\u2019s drive for \u201ccommon prosperity,\u201d appeal to younger (and value conscious) consumers, and target growing consumption centres outside of the traditional hotbeds. Broadly, China will continue to present opportunities for foreign companies, but there are new risks which must <\/em>be taken into consideration moving forward.<\/p>\n
