Consumer Services · Other Consumer Services · cnyes · 2026-09-04
The Commerce Development Research Institute reports that AI-driven supply chain gains are spilling over into domestic demand, with wholesale and retail sectors leading the recovery.
What Happened
Economic Landscape Shift: The Commerce Development Research Institute (CDRI) notes that AI industry dividends are spilling over into the domestic market, creating a new economic pattern of strong external growth and warming internal demand. The productivity gap between the service and manufacturing sectors is showing signs of narrowing.
Sectoral Divergence: Within the commercial service sector, wholesale and retail have demonstrated robust recovery since last year, outperforming other industries. In contrast, the hospitality and real estate sectors have stabilized but remain at low levels of growth.
Labor and Adaptation: Despite persistent labor shortages, the wholesale and retail sectors have successfully adapted through economies of scale and network effects. Other service industries are still working to balance productivity improvements with market demand.
Cyclical Outlook: Overall, the divergence in recovery among industries is beginning to converge. Both leading economic indicators and diffusion indices point toward an upward trend, which is expected to further strengthen the momentum of the broader economic recovery.
