Reasons to Make Shanghai Your Next Market
1. China is the world’s biggest country with a colossal food and drink market – 1.3 billion people live, work, eat and drink in China.
2. Wages and the middle class are on the rise, fueling consumption of imported goods. Average income levels reached $14,0070 in 2019 – a huge increase from 2012’s average of $6,200.
3. China’s middle class is already larger than the US’ at 109 million people. By 2022, 54% of China’s population will be upper middle class. More purchasing power points towards bigger export opportunities as China’s taste for foreign foods grows.
4. Seafood consumption is increasing annually, matching rising import levels and incomes. According to research, It is estimated that China needs 6 to 18 million aquatic products to meet the average annual growth rate of domestic aquatic products consumption of 9%-27%. In 2019, each person ate 20 kg, while urban consumption of seafood has already passed 40kg per capital.
