According to the National Statistics Office of Georgia, in January–September 2026, trade volume with China reached $2.329 billion. The PRC accounted for 11.3% of the country’s foreign trade turnover, securing second place among Georgia’s trading partners. The most notable dynamics were observed in exports: deliveries of Georgian products to the Chinese market increased by 168.7% year-on-year, from $216.97 million to $583.09 million.

Imports from China also showed growth, but at a significantly more moderate pace. Over the first nine months of 2026, Georgia purchased $1.746 billion worth of Chinese goods, compared to $1.434 billion for the same period last year. The increase amounted to 21.8%. Thus, export revenues from trade with China grew considerably faster than import expenditures.

The largest categories of Chinese goods delivered to Georgia included semiconductor devices worth $135.1 million, passenger cars worth $71.1 million, and electric generating sets and rotary converters worth $57.3 million. Air conditioning equipment valued at $45.3 million and flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel worth $43.7 million also ranked among the top five.
