China's maritime industry is entering a new phase of development as the country embarks on the 15th Five-Year Plan period (FYP / 2026-2030).
Building on its position as the world's largest shipbuilding nation with a maritime economy exceeding 11 trillion Chinese Yuan, China is expected to place greater emphasis on building a strong maritime nation through green shipping, smart vessel, advanced marine equipment, and the modernisation of maritime infrastructure.
Against this backdrop, understanding the strategic priorities of China's maritime policymaking and market development is critical for European marine equipment manufacturers and related industrial service providers seeking to engage with the Chinese market.
On 25 June 2026 offline in Shanghai, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China, together with NBA & FinnCham China, partnership with China Macro Group (CMG), a European management consulting and research firm specialised on China, will explore the key policy priorities, market trends, and business developments expected to shape China's maritime sector over the next five years.
The discussion input will cover:
(1) Recap China's macroeconomic outlook, macro policy trajectory from the 14th to the 15th FYP and China's evolving trade patterns and policy
(2) Policy priorities and development directions for China's marine economy, including emerging opportunities in green shipping, smart vessels, and cutting-edge maritime technologies
(3) Market trends in China's shipbuilding industry, vessel demand, and maritime supply chain, with select insights into key industry players
(4) Strategy conclusions
