China Consumer Goods and Retail Sector Report 2019 4th Quarter

In the third quarter of 2019, China’s economic performance was weaker, growing by 6% y/y, the lowest level in 27 years. The GDP growth for the first nine months of 2019 reached 6.2% y/y. Such dynamics was a result of increasing external uncertainties and internal downward growth pressure. However, consumer spending per capita rose by 9.9% y/y to RMB 5,134 in Q3 2019, which was attributed to an increase in per capita disposable income by 7.8% and 9.7% y/y in urban and rural areas, respectively. Total retail sales of consumer goods in the country rose by 7.6% y/y over the period to RMB 10,146bn, driven by growing consumer spending and new retail development, although affected by a decline on the automotive market.
