2025 Sino-Benelux Business Survey

The changing geopolitical landscape and trade tensions could have a major effect on the Chinese economy. As such challenges always remain and businesses try to meet their expectations, there are also positive prospects in sight. Such as the improved Visa free travel, indicating that China is opening up to the world. That China remains an undeniable market is evident from last year’s results, which showed a slowdown in revenue growth but still indicated that the vast majority of businesses remained profitable.

In this interesting stage, we highlight the importance for companies from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg (the "Benelux") to evaluate their performance in recent years and identify the greatest challenges and opportunities, as well as recognize China’s strategic role in their global business strategies.

The Sino Benelux Business Survey (SBBS) aims to provide valuable insights into China’s business climate while highlighting emerging trends and future market expectations.

With this year the 10th year since the Sino Benelux Business Survey arose, an anniversary edition, we are proud to announce that the survey for 2025 is now live.
