Regions — where things are made in China
The Chinese provinces and city clusters our research covers, and what each one is known for.
China is not one manufacturing country. Each province — and inside it, each city — has a specialism that decides what a product can be, how fast it can be developed and what it should cost. These are the regions our research covers.
Where the numbers come from. Each figure is the count of export-oriented manufacturers we have indexed in that province from public B2B export listings while mapping this market. It describes the size of the local cluster — not a count of suppliers we have contracted or audited.
