Higher values typically indicate strong consumer spending and economic activity, while lower values suggest weak demand and economic slowdown.

Final consumption expenditure is calculated by summing the expenditures of households and the government on final consumption goods and services. This includes spending on durable goods, non-durable goods, and services.

The latest data shows that China's final consumption expenditure in the fourth quarter of 2025 reached 764,069.8 hundred million RMB, steadily climbing from 734,594.78 hundred million RMB in the fourth quarter of 2023. Although consumption continues to serve as the primary engine driving economic growth, detailed breakdowns reveal a booming services sector alongside sluggish traditional goods. Market consensus holds that under pressure from the housing market and employment, future domestic demand will remain highly reliant on policy subsidies for life support.
