Description

The total cumulative operating costs of China's industrial enterprises above designated size are released by China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). This indicator measures the total operating costs incurred by industrial enterprises above designated size and is helpful in assessing the cost dynamics and operating efficiency of China's large industrial enterprises. Typically, lower operating costs relative to revenue indicate better efficiency and profitability, while higher costs may indicate inefficiencies or rising input prices.

Note: Industrial enterprises above designated size include enterprises with annual operating income of more than 20 million yuan.

According to the latest DataTrack data, the cumulative operating costs of China's industrial enterprises above designated size reached RMB 90.3 trillion on 2026-09-01 (Q3 2026), a significant increase from the previous value of 79.19 trillion. Although overall costs are rising, the cost per hundred yuan of operating revenue is continuing to decline, driving an improvement in profit margins. The technology and equipment manufacturing industries have become the main pillars of support, but future attention still needs to be paid to the hidden concerns of rising inventory and weak domestic demand.
