According to the latest data, China's manufacturing supplier delivery time index for Q2 2026 (the latest period) fell to 49.2, a further decline from the previous 49.5, indicating lengthened lead times for raw materials. Accompanied by the overall manufacturing PMI retreating to the 50.0 boom-or-bust threshold and a contraction in new orders, this reflects that slowing end-market demand and weather disruptions are exerting dual pressures on supply chain operational efficiency.
