Year of the Ox Certification with SINOQUAL - Non-Stop Benefits

Looking back at 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic became the biggest disruptive factor in global trade development. As the first country affected by the pandemic, China was also the first to emerge from the crisis, placing us in an advantageous position in global supply chains and trade. Surging global demand for protective medical equipment, electronics, and essential food and daily necessities created enormous export opportunities for China.

Although vaccines are now available and the pandemic is under effective control, the international pandemic situation remains challenging, with production and daily life unable to return to normal, and consumption needs still relying on imports. As a manufacturing powerhouse, China is the only country in the world possessing all industrial categories in the UN industrial classification system. No other country can replace China manufacturing and export position in the short term. Therefore, it is foreseeable that China exports will continue their upward trend in 2021.

Within the enormous international demand for Chinese manufacturing, the Halal market with 1.9 billion consumers and the European-American Kosher market worth over USD 200 billion hold tremendous untapped potential and value for Chinese enterprises.

In 2015, China Belt and Road initiative opened new markets for Chinese enterprise exports. In Middle Eastern countries where the population is over 90% adherent of the faith, over 80% of Halal food relies on imports. The Halal market annual growth rate has exceeded 15% over the past five years, yet China export share to the overseas Halal market is currently less than 5%. As Made in China influence continues to rise internationally, China export growth rate to the Halal market exceeded 20% during the pandemic. A larger market share in the Halal market surely awaits China in the future.

Kosher food has gained even broader acceptance and preference from non-Jewish populations after the COVID-19 outbreak. In fact, medium and larger supermarkets in Europe and America all have dedicated Kosher sections. Beyond religious adherents, vegetarians, lactose-intolerant individuals, dairy-allergic consumers, and those with high food quality requirements all specifically choose Kosher food as a symbol of premium food products. As a result, the European and American KOSHER food market grows at 10% annually, with nearly ten million people consuming KOSHER food.

For Chinese enterprises, whether a manufacturer holds a KOSHER certificate has become one of the strict procurement standards for many domestic and international clients. Currently, thousands of Chinese enterprises have obtained KOSHER certification with export sales exceeding tens of billions of USD, yet they hold less than 5% of the Kosher market. Thus, the international Kosher market still offers enormous development space for Chinese food enterprises.
