Hong Kong’s imports surged in January 2026, with the growth rate rising to 38.1%, up from 30.6% in December 2025, according to the latest data updated on 27 February 2026. The figures reflect a month-over-month comparison, highlighting a sharp acceleration in inbound trade activity at the start of the year.
The “Actual” January reading of 38.1% shows how imports changed compared with December 2025, while the “Previous” figure of 30.6% captures the change in December relative to November 2025. The back-to-back increases suggest that Hong Kong has entered 2026 with strengthening import demand, potentially signaling firmer domestic consumption and restocking needs among local businesses.
