SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the Reform and Opening-up in China, global trade has been vital to China's economic growth. Data indicates that China's total import and export trade volume steadily increased, reaching CNY 42.8 trillion in 2023. In the first eight months of 2024, the total volume hit CNY 28.6 trillion. Given the historically high growth rates, China's total annual import and export volume is projected to approach CNY 45 trillion, potentially setting a new record.

For companies, global expansion has become a crucial strategic direction for accelerating growth and diversifying revenue streams after years of development. Survey data reveals that more than 60% of companies have plans for international expansion, a trend particularly evident among leading and publicly listed firms. Focusing on A-share listed companies, what is the scale of their global revenue? Which industries and products are performing exceptionally well in international markets?

I. Steady Growth in Global Revenue Share, Secondary Industry Contributing Major Revenue

By the end of 2023, nearly 70% of China's A-share listed companies had established a presence in global markets, totaling over 3,500 firms. International expansion has become a key focus for A-share listed companies, with revenue steadily increasing.

According to Choice data, global revenue for A-share listed companies reached CNY 4.05 trillion in the first half of 2024 and is projected to exceed CNY 8.5 trillion for the full yentire reflecting consistent YoY growth. This figure is expected to reach CNY 10 trillion by 2026. In terms of proportion, global revenue now constitutes 12.2% of total revenue for these companies, increased by 0.5% compared to 2023. Leading A-share companies are particularly aggressive in their international endeavors, with many reporting 30-40% growth in global business revenue in 2023, a trend expected to persist into 2024.

From an industry perspective, companies pursuing global expansion typically exhibit high industry concentration. Over 2,100 A-share listed companies with international operations are concentrated in the top 10 industries, accounting for over 70%. Mechanical Equipment, Electronics, and Basic Chemicals lead the pack, reflecting China's strong industrial competitiveness in these sectors as a manufacturing and industrial powerhouse.

In the machinery equipment sector, intelligent processing and manufacturing are key themes, with frequent references to robots, precision equipment, new energy, and photovoltaics. At the corporate level, SANY Group, XCMG, and CRRC are the top three for global revenue, each generating hundreds of billions in the first half of the year, primarily in producing and selling large-scale machinery for earthmoving and lifting operations.

In the electronics industry, semiconductors, terms such as semiconductors, chips, and modules are commonly referenced. Leading companies include Luxshare, BOE-A, and Goertek. Overall, the electronics sector shows higher revenue levels, with Luxshare's global revenue nearing CNY 100 billion in the first half of the year, accounting for nearly 90% of its total revenue. Notably, Transsion Holdings ranked fourth in this period with a global revenue of CNY 34.5 billion, targeting the African mobile phone market with virtually all revenue from abroad.

In other sectors, such as basic chemicals, industry leaders like Wanhua Chemical, ADAMA, and Yuntianhua primarily focus on producing materials such as polyurethane, propylene, and phosphorus chemicals, with global revenue ranging from CNY 0.1 to 40 billion in the first half-year. CATL continues to expand international markets in power equipment, focusing on energy storage batteries. Jinko Solar and JA Solar focus on solar photovoltaic products, with global revenue exceeding 50% of total revenue. In pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, BeiGene develops commercialized innovative drugs, while Mindray and Fosun Pharma focus on medical device R&D. China's pharmaceutical industry has made significant strides in transitioning from a raw material-driven model to a technology-driven approach, establishing a notable influence in international markets.

Overall, A-share listed companies pursuing global expansion concentrate primarily on the secondary industry. As an industrial powerhouse, China has accumulated rich production and manufacturing experience in this sector, with many technologies at world-leading levels. Conversely, while the automotive and internet sectors rank moderately in the number of companies, many high-quality industry leaders are accelerating their international expansion, resulting in steadily increasing revenues.

II. Automotive and Computing Sectors Accelerate Global Expansion, Leading Enterprises Emerge to Shape Global Influence 

In 2023, China's automotive exports reached 5.22 million units, marking a YoY growth exceeding 57%. From January to September 2024, exports have already reached 4.312 million units, with annual projections expected to surpass 2023 levels. Capitalizing on its manufacturing capacity and technological advantages, China has maintained the world's highest automotive production and sales for 15 consecutive years. The rapid growth of new energy vehicles (NEVs) has enabled many domestic brands to enter North American and European markets.

Among automotive companies expanding globally, BYD ranks at the top. In the first half of 2024, BYD's global revenue reached CNY 89.95 billion, accounting for 30% of total revenue. According to MoonFox data, as of September 2024, BYD's global app--App-BYD-- has covered 18 countries and regions, reaching over 258 million users. On the one hand, BYD is deepening its European presence, targeting markets like Germany with mid-to-high-end models, projecting sales of 120,000 NEVs in Germany by 2026. On the other hand, BYD is ramping up efforts in Thailand, where its factory was completed on July 4, with an annual production capacity of approximately 150,000 units. Overall, BYD will accelerate its global market expansion, while companies like Weichai Power and Great Wall Motor are also speeding up their international presence, focusing on upstream industrial development.

While the number of computing sector companies expanding globally is slightly lower than other leading industries, numerous software and digital enterprises are accelerating global deployment amid the internet wave. Although this analysis excludes Chinese concept stocks listed on Hong Kong and U.S. exchanges (such as Tencent and NetEase), many segment leaders deserve attention. HIKVISION, IEIT SYSTEMS, and Ninestar rank as the top 3 in global revenue. HIKVISION's global revenue reached CNY 14.18 billion, accounting for 34% of total revenue. The global market is crucial for HIKVISION, as domestic profit growth faces limitations due to intense competition in the specialized security and IoT sectors. However, many international market segments still need to be developed. Despite challenges such as potential "global sanctions," the HIKVISION brand continues strengthening its global influence, with rising demand emerging in Latin America and the Middle East.

Additionally, many software and information service companies in the computing sector rapidly expand globally, with Wondershare among the top performers. In the same period, Wondershare's global revenue reached CNY 640 million, exceeding 90% of total revenue. Adopting a "global operations" philosophy, Wondershare has established subsidiaries in regions such as North America, Japan, and Singapore, reflecting proactive international outreach.

Wondershare offers a range of creative software tools across various industries, including the editing tool Filmora, video editing software Capterra, and office software PDFelement. Its app portfolio includes MobileClean, Dr.Fone Link, and MobileTrans, with MobileTrans covering over 160 countries; significant download contributions come from India, the U.S., and Mexico.

Finally, light manufacturing features companies like Huatai Group, KUKA Houseware, and SONGMICS HOME in other sectors involved in paper production and home furnishing. In the home appliance sector, leading brands such as Midea Group, Haier Smart Home, and Hisense generate global revenues in the tens of billions, accounting for about 50% of their total income. Focusing on new energy lithium batteries, copper products, and rare metals, the non-ferrous metals sector sees companies like CMOC Group and Huayou Cobalt showing strong intentions for global expansion.

In conclusion, A-share listed companies are experiencing a significant acceleration in global expansion, with multiple industries thriving and leading enterprises emerging. Looking ahead, industry transformation may lead to shifts in which sectors dominate global expansion, particularly in telecommunications and media, which are expected to see more companies exporting technology, services, and IP content. A-share companies are anticipated to further penetrate global markets, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America, enhancing performance and initiating secondary growth trajectories.
