Hong Kong Exporter Guide 2025
In 2024, Hong Kong’s economic growth reached 2.5 percent, landing at the lower end of most forecasts. Despite efforts by the Hong Kong government to stimulate tourism, investment, and overall economic activity, the city continues to face challenges such as high interest rates and a weakened housing market, both of which have affected demand for imported food and beverages. Nonetheless, Hong Kong remains an attractive and competitive market for U.S. agricultural products due to its transparent import regulations, status as a free port, role as a regional transshipment hub, and concentration of high-income consumers. Key U.S. consumer-oriented exports to Hong Kong include beef, poultry, seafood, tree nuts, fresh fruit, wine and spirits, as well as a broad range of prepared and snack foods.
