The sales rate of industrial products in December was 98.2%, down 0.7 percentage points year-on-year, indicating that production expansion is outpacing demand recovery [5][8]. - External demand remains robust due to optimized export structures, while internal demand is constrained by slow recovery in consumption and investment. In 2025, cumulative year-on-year growth rates for investment, consumption, and exports were -3.8%, 3.7%, and 5.5%, respectively [6][12]. Policy Focus - The next phase of policy will focus on expanding domestic demand, enhancing consumption quality, and effective investment. This includes promoting the replacement of old consumer goods, supporting new growth points in service consumption, and increasing investment in new infrastructure and equipment updates [7][22]. Consumer Behavior and Trends - In Q4, retail sales of consumer goods showed steady growth for the year but faced year-end pressure, with a 0.9% year-on-year increase in December. Rural consumption outperformed urban consumption, with rural retail sales growing by 4.1% for the year [13][14][18]. - Online consumption remains a stable growth driver, with a year-on-year increase of 8.6% in 2025, significantly higher than the overall retail growth [14][19].
