China’s hydrogen and fuel cell sector is poised to grow exponentially. The NDRC just issued a fifteen-year development plan for the sector. It expects real commercialization of fuel cell vehicles and energy storage by 2030 with rapid market growth in heavy-duty applications. Sinolytics forecasts a fuel cell market size of 45 billion RMB by 2035.

The European mechanical engineering industry faces a complex economic and political business environment in China. Sinolytics conducted a joint study and survey with VDMA and Swissmem to assess the impact of China’s domestic policies and geopolitics on German and Swiss machinery companies.

As the largest CO2 emitter globally, China has announced its ambition in reaching its carbon emission peak by 2030 (the concrete roadmap is currently being drafted) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. To realize these two targets, China implements stricter environmental regulations with more effective enforcement in the 14th Five Year Plan.

China’s international logistics ambitions already have great impact on European logistics companies, from European port and railway operators to freight forwarders and postal services. Sinolytics supports these companies in seeking partnerships where sensible and bracing for competition where necessary.

In 2019, Sinolytics in partnership with the EU Chamber of Commerce in China published “The Digital Hand”, providing the first in-depth and comprehensive description of the Corporate Social Credit System (CSCS) and its implications for companies active in China.
