By 2015, China is projected to be the 3rd largest consumer market in the world, after the U.S. and Japan. At present, over 25 of the world’s largest retailers conduct business in China, and China’s domestic retailers alone include five that are ranked among the 250 largest global retailers. In addition, the Chinese economy ranked second in the world in 2010 and is expected to be the largest by 2017. As a reflection of this growth, China is now the largest export market for U.S. agricultural products, and the U.S. remains the leading single exporter of consumer-oriented food to China, the only exporter with a presence in most categories. As a result, Many U.S. brands are widely recognized and respected in China‘s major urban markets. Consumption of western style products continues to grow as they generally are regarded as good quality, nutritious and safe. With increasing household incomes and food safety concerns, more middle class consumers are trading up to buy imported grocery products. According to the China Ministry of Commerce, China’s retail sales may grow 15% annually through 2015 and reach $5 trillion (USD) in 2015.
