The 80/20 of Ecommerce – July 2, 2021

China’s manufacturing softens in June amid export weakness

In a report by Business Hala, “China’s factory output and consumer spending have rebounded to above pre-pandemic levels but export demands are uneven as governments fight the outbreaks of the new coronavirus variant.” 

China’s manufacturing activity in June dipped slightly as export demand decreased and manufacturers dealt with supply constraints. The numbers of new export orders, production, and factory gate prices all decreased.

According to Business Hala “The index of production fell 0.8 points to 51.9 from May. New export orders fell by a similar margin to a one-year low of 48.1. This was offset by strong domestic demand, which raised the measure of new orders by 0.2 points to 51.5.”
