The latest data suggests China's retail1 sale of consumer goods in 2017 reached 36.6 trillion yuan, or 5.8 trillion U.S. dollars, which represents a 10.2% year-on-year increase.

A spokesperson from China's Ministry2 of Commerce, Gao Feng, provides more details about the growth in the country's retail sales over the past 5 years.

"The average annual growth rate of the retail sale of consumer goods in China from 2013 to 2017 was 11.3%, which is 3.2 percentage points larger than the country's GDP growth rate during the same period. Online retail sales of physical goods were valued at 5.5 trillion yuan. This is an increase of 28%, and accounts for 15% of total retail sales of consumer goods, and is 2.4% higher than the previous year."

Consumption contributed 58.8% of China's economic expansion last year.

In 2017, the value of China's domestic trade surpassed 10 trillion yuan for the first time, and accounted for 13% of the total GDP volume.

Growth was focused in tertiary industries such as wholesale3, retail, accommodation, and catering4.

Gao Feng said the booming domestic trade significantly boosted the country's employment.

"By the end of 2017, China's domestic trade created more than 190 million jobs, rising by 10% year-on-year, accounting5 for nearly a quarter of the country's total employment, as well as more than half of the number of jobs in tertiary industries. Domestic trade has become an important area to attract people seeking job opportunities."

Gao added the tax paid by the country's wholesale and retail sectors6 in 2017 also increased by 20%, and made up nearly 25% of the total growth in tax payments.

Dong Chao from the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, predicted that the country's domestic trade will keep growing steadily7 this year.

"I think China's consumption for this year may keep growing by 10% in a relatively8 stable way, as the country is already enjoying a much bigger market size. Although it may be difficult for China to keep scoring a double-digit growth, the country's consumer market will be of greater significance to the whole world."
