In 2025, the growth of sales revenue of China's manufacturing sector outpaced the national overall sales by 1.7 percentage points, accounting for 29.7 percent of the country's total sales revenue, a 0.5-percentage-point increase from the previous year, according to tax data released by the State Taxation Administration on Wednesday. Value-added tax invoice data indicated that in 2025, manufacturing enterprises nationwide increased their procurement of automated and digital equipment by 11.3 percent and 10 percent year-on-year respectively.
