The normalisation of life in China after COVID management controls were lifted 12 months ago led many to think that a robust and swift economic recovery would follow. However, while it looks like the government’s official 2023 target of achieving around a five per cent growth rate will be met, a combination of economic challenges and policy developments have cast a shadow over the potential for a stronger economy in 2024 and beyond.

In China, consumer demand remains muted, the property market is still in the process of stabilising, and overall business confidence remains low. An increasing number of Chamber member companies are looking to alternative investment destinations to diversify and avoid excessive dependence on a single location; others are separating parts of their China operations from their global ones, to remain compliant with legislation in China and the rest of the world, as well as to guard against risks arising from geopolitical tensions. Some companies take a different approach, doubling down on their presence in China in view of the importance of their China activities to their global portfolio.

The methods of cost structure analysis include the analysis of types of costs, cost behavior and break-even analysis. Especially the last three years have shown us that the days of cheap raw material, energy sources, and logistics costs are gone. These changes directly threaten the profitability of companies. Each method focuses on a different part of a company's business activity in order to determine how efficiently and effectively the company completes activities. Common cost types include fixed costs, variable costs and marginal costs, sunk costs, and opportunity costs. To ensure that your company stays competitive , your staff needs to continuously improve the processes and relentlessly evaluate these cost types.
