China's manufacturing PMI backlog of orders index for June 2026 (Q2 2026) recorded 47.1, a slight rebound from the previous value of 46.8, but still below the 50 boom-or-bust line. Although the overall manufacturing sector and new orders showed mild expansion, ample capacity prevented a rapid accumulation of backlogged orders. Looking ahead, the sustainability of high export growth and the strength of domestic demand recovery will be the keys for the backlog of orders to return to expansion.
