China presents huge opportunity for NWI Region businesses
Northwest Indiana companies have opportunities to do business in China, where the middle class is as large as America's total population and where consumers put a premium on American-made goods, according to America China Society of Indiana Executive Director Colin Renk.
Renk told the Gary Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon at the U.S. Steel Yard that China is still growing fast, at about 7 percent a year, and is a huge market that could be tapped by manufacturers and other companies despite the ongoing trade conflict. He cited the example of Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly, which has had operations in China for 100 years and survived two World Wars, the Cultural Revolution and U.S.-China turmoil.
"You have a unique situation, being between Chicago and Detroit on a corridor of investment," Renk said. "It could open the doors."
China is Indiana's third largest export market, behind only Canada and Mexico. The Hoosier state exported $3.1 billion of goods such as grains, pharmaceutical drugs, auto parts and medical equipment to China in 2017, and exports to China have grown by 110 percent since 2008, as compared to 37 percent to the rest of the world.
Indiana also has exported more services, such as education, travel, royalties from industrial processes and the installation, maintenance and repair of industrial equipment, to China in 2017 than to any other country in the world, according to the America China Society. Hoosier exports of services to China totaled $856 million last year.
That's grown by 480 percent since 2007 as compared to 52 percent to the rest of the world. Read more: NWI TIMES
