​Post liberalization in 1978, the China’s economy has grown at a stupendous CAGR of 12.3%. The country’s rapid growth will transition it from middle income country bracket to high income bracket. The growth of Chinese economy will be led by the country’s burgeoning 108.8 million strong middle class, the world’s largest, which is growing at a staggering rate. Since 2000, China has added 43.3 million adults to its middle class.
By 2030, as per the Economist Intelligence Unit, middle class will constitute 75% of China population, with 20% belonging to upper middle class. The growth of Chinese middle class underlines the potential of Chinese consumers to take up the mantle from the US as “world consumer of last resortâ€.
The flourishing and prospering Chinese middle class, with its increasing wealth and disposable income, would change its spending patterns significantly as it acquires greater financial stability and security. Higher proportion of the family budget will be expended on the more ‘fun’ discretionary purchases and lesser on mundane necessities. We outlined sectors which will benefit the most from the consumption shift and are good long term investing bets.
