Market liberalization in the Chinese Economy has brought its huge economy forward

China’s economy is huge and expanding rapidly. In the last 30 years the rate of Chinese economic growth has been almost miraculous, averaging 8% growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per annum. The economy has grown more than 10 times during that period, with Chinese GDP reaching 3.42 trillion US dollars by 2007. In Purchasing Power Parity GDP, China already has the biggest economy after the United States. Most analysts project China to become the largest economy in the world this century using all measures of GDP.

• China is expected to become the world's second largest printing market in 2010.
• The productivity of printing industry accounts for 2.5% of GDP of China, and the annual growth rate is higher than the national economy
• Greater Pearl River Delta, Yangtze Delta and Bohai Rim, with their distinctive features, are well established as the main printing centres of China. Pearl River Delta region (include Hong Kong, Macau) in particular, ranks the top of the productivity of the whole printing industry, and accounts for 2/3 of the export processing industry in China, approaching towards the position of world printing centre
• The printing industry in China is growing at a much higher rate than more mature economies such as North America, Japan, or Western Europe.
• Packaging is still the engine of the Chinese printing industry
• There is no better time than now for the US suppliers to export their products to China.  With highest foreign capital reserves and a stronger currency (RMB against the US dollars), China has became an importer of printing technologies.
• China needs to import advanced machinery with up-to-date technology, as well as accessories and components that can make customized printing products and improve quality while cutting cost by replacing manual labor with automation.
