📈 From Rapid Rise to Slower Climb: China’s Export Growth Since 2000

China’s share of global goods exports surged from 3.9% in 2000 to 13.7% in 2015, reflecting its rapid ascent as the world’s manufacturing hub. However, export growth has plateaued since then, reaching only 14.6% by 2024. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of China’s goods exports slowed sharply—from 16.6% during 1999–2015 to just 5.2% in the 2015–2024 period—signaling a maturing export economy and rising global competition.
