China’s export growth lost some momentum in October 2026, with the year-on-year increase in overseas shipments easing to 35.2%, down from 36.3% in September 2026. The figures, updated on 10 November 2026, reflect a still-robust but slightly moderating pace of external demand for Chinese goods.
Both the current and previous readings represent year-on-year changes, comparing each month’s export performance with the same month a year earlier. While the marginal slowdown suggests some cooling from September’s pace, exports remain significantly higher than a year ago, underlining China’s continued strength in global trade despite the slight deceleration.
