The Chinese mainland’s digital trade exports soared to $793.7 billion in 2024—up 10.7% year on year—according to the Global Digital Trade Development Report 2025, unveiled at the fourth Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
This outstanding performance, far above the global average, crowns the Chinese mainland as the fastest-growing economy in digital services trade. Young entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts are tapping into this momentum, driving innovation across sectors.
Analysts point to robust infrastructure investment and a thriving startup ecosystem as key accelerators. As the digital landscape evolves, business leaders, thought influencers, and digital nomads are eyeing the Chinese mainland’s tech hubs for fresh opportunities.
With digital trade reshaping global markets, the Chinese mainland’s surge signals a new chapter in a more interconnected, data-driven world economy. The question now is: how will other G20 nations respond to keep pace?
