In June 2025, China's Non-Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) experienced a modest increase, rising to 50.5 from 50.3 in May, according to the latest data updated on June 30. This slight uptick marks a move towards growth in the sector, as figures above the 50-point mark indicate expansion.
The non-manufacturing sector, a significant component of China's economy that includes services, construction, and logistics, shows signs of steady progress and resilience. While the growth is marginal, it still signals positive momentum in the face of global economic challenges and uncertainties.
This incremental rise could point to increased consumer confidence and spending, alongside robust government policy support, helping to sustain economic performance in the second half of 2025. However, analysts will be closely monitoring upcoming data to assess the sustainability of this recovery and broader economic impacts.
