China’s electronic information manufacturing sector recorded robust growth in the first four months of 2025, with major enterprises reporting an 11.3% year-on-year increase in industrial added value, according to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

The growth rate exceeded the overall industrial sector average by 4.9 percentage points. The figures cover companies with annual revenues of at least 20 million yuan (approximately USD 2.78 million).

In April alone, the sector’s industrial output rose by 10.8% compared to the same month last year, highlighting sustained momentum in high-tech manufacturing, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency.

The production of microcomputers increased by 4.7% year-on-year, reaching 105 million units, while integrated circuit output rose by 5.4%, totaling 150.9 billion units during the same period.

Customs data showed that China exported 106.3 billion integrated circuits from January to April, marking a 20% increase from the previous year. However, exports of laptops and mobile phones declined by 0.4% and 7.1%, respectively, with shipments reaching 43.84 million and 224 million units.

The figures underscore the resilience and continued expansion of China’s tech manufacturing industry despite global economic headwinds.
