What is the outlook for Swedish companies in China?

Sweden-China Trade Council is happy to invite you to the presentation of this year’s Business Climate Survey mapping the current and future business environment in mainland China experienced by the Swedish companies active on the Chinese market. 

From the report:

“2022 was a year when we experienced the toughest pandemic management ever seen in the market, which had a strong impact on companies and individuals. It was also the year when the zero-Covid policy was dropped overnight, and life rapidly went back to normal. The pandemic is now over, but world trade is still facing turbulence and uncertainty.”

This year’s report includes findings related to the opening of China after the pandemic, how pandemic management has affected the view of the attractiveness of the Chinese market, impact from “buy domestic” requirements, challenges companies face in their sustainability efforts, and much more.

The Business Climate Survey for Swedish Companies in Mainland China 2023 is an initiative by Team Sweden in China. The survey is published regularly in several markets across the world. In mainland China, the survey has been carried out since 2000. The purpose of the survey is to better understand the performance of Swedish companies, the challenges and opportunities they face, as well as their outlook in the Chinese market.

The survey is based on responses from around 100 companies across sectors, and analyses the performance, climate and future outlook for Swedish companies operating in China.

The results will be presented by Daniela Ling-Vannerus Cassmer, General Manager at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China, and Joakim Abeleen, Trade and Invest Commissioner & Vice President East Asia and Pacific at Business Sweden.
