While the 2022 and 2023 surveys tracked the unprecedented disruptions wreaked on Swiss businesses in China by the pandemic, its ensuing zero-COVID policy and abrupt re-opening, along with increasing international geopolitical tensions, The Swiss Business in China Survey 2024 provides rich new findings and insights on the postpandemic state of Swiss business in China.

The Swiss Business in China Survey 2023 is the second such inquiry carried out since the start of the pandemic—following the COVID- induced hiatus in 2021— and follows previous editions published between 2006 and 2019.

This Swiss Business in China Survey 2022 reflects the tumultuous events of this year. This is the first time that we have needed to conduct a follow-up mid-year flash survey to re-evaluate the level of business sentiment recorded at the start of the year. We felt that this was essential in order to understand how war in Europe, growing geopolitical tensions in Asia, and the ongoing Omicron lockdowns in China have impacted the expectations of Swiss companies for 2022 and beyond.
