Latest data indicates that in 2025, the share of China's secondary industry (industry and construction) in GDP slipped from the previous value of 36.5% to 35.6%, hitting a recent low. This trend is primarily due to a steep 17.2% drop in real estate development investment seriously dragging down construction industry output; however, the value-added of high-tech manufacturing grew by 9.4% year-on-year, demonstrating resilience, showing that China's economy is accelerating its transition from being driven by traditional infrastructure and real estate toward services and advanced manufacturing.
