Introduction: Facing a complex and challenging domestic and international environment in the first half of 2025, China’s economy once again demonstrated remarkable resilience and vitality, delivering a stable, progressive, and positive performance. This solid foundation for achieving annual targets also boosts confidence across industries, including fiberglass mesh manufacturers.

I. Domestic Demand: Significant Scale Advantage, Sustained Potential Release

Domestic demand contributed a substantial 68.8% to China’s economic growth in H1, firmly acting as the “main engine.” Despite current challenges in consumer demand and private investment, China boasts a vast market of 1.4 billion people, including over 400 million in the middle-income group. Total retail sales of consumer goods are expected to exceed 50 trillion yuan this year. As China advances towards high-income status,fostering continuous emergence of new models and business formats. Simultaneously, investment potential remains vast, particularly in technological innovation, and urban renewal. For instance, urban underground pipeline network upgrades alone represent an estimated 4 trillion yuan investment demand over the next five years. Sustained infrastructure investment directly drives demand for high-performance building materials, such as premium fiberglass mesh used in exterior wall insulation systems. The Central Politburo Meeting emphasized continuous and well-timed strengthening of macro policies, alongside deep implementation of consumption-boosting initiatives and high-quality “dual key” projects. This will further unleash domestic demand potential, creating a broad market for professional fiberglass mesh manufacturers.

II. New Growth Engines: Innovation-Driven Leadership, Accelerated Industrial Upgrading

While traditional drivers moderated, new growth engines represented by new quality productive forces accelerated rapidly, becoming crucial pillars supporting the economy. Breakthroughs flourished in green energy, advanced manufacturing, AI, and more. Value-added output in high-tech manufacturing surged 9.5% year-on-year in H1, significantly outpacing overall industrial growth. The green “New Three” (new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, solar cells) maintained high growth rates. The building materials industry also benefits from this technological wave. Companies specializing in R&D and production of high-strength, alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh, find their products increasingly vital in new building energy efficiency systems and composite reinforcement – exemplifying industrial upgrading. Adhering to innovation-driven development and deepening the integration of technology with industry will further strengthen new growth engines, presenting opportunities for suppliers providing advanced fiberglass mesh solutions.

III. Foreign Trade: Resilience Exceeds Expectations, Diversified Landscape Expands

Amid rising unilateralism and volatile global trade, China’s foreign trade showcased robust resilience and competitiveness. H1 export value hit a record high of over 13 trillion yuan for the period, with the number of active foreign trade firms exceeding 600,000. July’s single-month import-export growth hit a yearly high, with exports growing over 6% for five consecutive months. As a major trading partner to over 150 countries and regions, China holds a stable position in global supply chains, with a diversified trade pattern accelerating. Continuous high-level opening-up creates opportunities for “Made in China” to reach the world, including high-quality building materials exports. Fiberglass mesh producers targeting international markets, leveraging internationally certified alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh products, are actively expanding overseas to meet global green building needs. Ongoing policy support (enhanced financing, optimized tax rebates, advanced open platforms) provides solid backing for trade stability.

Conclusion:

China’s economy remains resilient. Despite global headwinds, H1 2025 growth hit 5.3%, beating expectations.

Three pillars drive stability:

1. Domestic demand (68.8% of growth) leverages a 14 billion-consumer market. Policy support will boost infrastructure and green building investments.
2. New growth engines thrive: High-tech manufacturing surged 9.5%. Innovations like AI and green tech redefine industries.
3. Trade resilience shines: Exports grew 8% in July. Over 600,000 firms serve 190+ markets.

For fiberglass mesh manufacturers:

• Capitalize on infrastructure upgrades (e.g., 4 trillion RMB pipe networks).
• Supply high-strength mesh for energy-efficient buildings.
• Export internationally certified products (e.g., alkali-resistant mesh).

Key takeaway: China’s vast market, innovation drive, and open trade ensure sustained growth. Adapt and innovate to thrive.
